I don't know, it's all a blur at this point.

Dino was back at practice today. Too bad he will never play a down for us.

The part of me that saw his talent during the spring hopes you're wrong...the part of me that detests what he did and his initial attempts to lie to the cops makes me hope you're right....The part of me that hates ****baylor wonders how any of those fans live with themselves...
Why? everyone makes stupid mistakes, especially at 18/19 years old. Everyone on here slobbers all over PRich and the reason we got him here at CU, was because of one of those dumb mistakes/decisions.
K Darth, spill the beans
buried due to talent or permanent dog house?
good point ^
He used to be my fav rb recruit from his class. I cursed him. Now that I've accepted he will never play, some would think the curse has lifted, but I think it's clear that he's doomed.
No, not "everyone makes stupid mistakes, especially at 18/19 years old" where those stupid mistakes are burglary. I am fine with the second chance for a man, but the hand waving off of the seriousness of the action is not fine.

Thank you for the best laugh I have had all day. The buried due to talent thing made me blow the water I was drinking out my nose.
Whoa cbs rankings

Gillam may have gotten his weight up, but damn he still looks small.

You're right, he made a mistake and was caught. Falo was intelligent enough to just own it and say he messed up both to the cops and to the public. So I don't feel any qualms about him working his way back on the team. Dino....Dino insisted he was innocent...and I haven't seen anything yet where he has come out and said he messed up to the public. The mistake doesn't reflect on their character so much as the actions after the mistake.
94th is absurd, even to the pessimists

Gillam may have gotten his wait up, but damn he still looks small.
We were hearing all off season about how he had put on good weight and was looking stronger. But now Woelk and others are saying he's not any different than we've seen him in the past. Who knows what's going on with this guy? I really hope he has a healthy, productive season, but I'm not holding my breath. I said the same thing about him prior to last season. Adkins, too.
Locker room material. I hope it keeps coming and motivates these players during the dog days of summer. Bring back the team that got into the other teams' faces after dirty plays and had an us versus the world mentality.

He is still on the smaller side for a backer, but to me he does look bigger than he did before. I was amazed he could play D1 college linebacker at all he was so skinny before. I feel badly for Gillam, he was too small to play, but too good on a bad team not to play. I think this lead directly to his inuries and that the injuries have prevented him from putting the work needed to get bigger during the off seasons....It has become cyclical. I really think that if this guy took a redshirt year while healthy he would come back much bigger and be an absolute monster.Gillam may have gotten his weight up, but damn he still looks small.
About a month ago, MM said Gillam was up to 230 lbs. 6'3" 230 is nearing prototypical size for an ILB. He will be fine as is, but if he can get to 235-240 when the season starts, that would be ideal.
That wasn't CBs rating that was CBS sports rating of the whole team.
The only reason I'm not "what the ****ing" this post is because I thought the same thing when I first read "cbs". It's not rating the CBs, it's the "CBS" preseason rankings.
SIAP somewhere, but the following is an interview with MM on some station in San Diego.

Best part... (paraphrasing)
Interviewer: Was this a bigger rebuilding job than you thought when you got to CU?
MM: Yes. After the 5th Spring practice I realized the team I coached at SJSU would have beat us by 50.
Ouch.

It took him 5 practices to realize that? The San Antonio Outlaws would've beat us by double digits.
It took him even longer to realize his staff was incapable.
I think that's fair.
He had a CU team his SJSU team could have beaten by 50.
He had the SJSU staff.
He built the team up to where it could have gone toe-to-toe with that SJSU team which finished in the Top 25.
He realized that a WAC Top 25 is equivalent to the Pac-12 cellar and he needed coaches who could bring in more talent.
So we are where we are today. Need to take the next step and be able to play around .500 ball in the Pac-12.
