But is their recycling drive carbon neutral? Advantage CU.
Why would they waste 300MM on a medical facility when they could cure cancer with that money?
The interior of that stadium looks just like Folsom (without the blacktop COLORADO) circa 1975.
Yeah, but how many margaritas can he pound?
Appreciate the analysis. Can’t believe we only have a 78% chance of winning one game… that is pathetic.According to TeamRankings, these are CU's win probabilities in the ten remaining games, as of today:
View attachment 54247
Obviously favored to lose in every game, with the easiest game being a 61.8% loss probability for the Buffs, at home against Cal. However, if you combined all the losing percentages from 61.8% vs. Cal to 98.2% at USC and everything in between to come up a probability of losing all 10 games, it works out to 21.5% chance of that happening. So, inversely a 78.5% chance of winning at least one of the remaining 10 games. If there's a silver lining in this dark cloud, that would be it.

Isn't it a time for the (dreaded) "vote of confidence" by the administration. They should be aware of the **** show and show their support or they don't care and want to avoid dealing with it.
I'm really tired of the coach speak and how we're having such great practices. I want to hear some passion and anger -- and no, that doesn't mean attacking photographers -- that says the systemic issues need to be addressed.

I'd settle for someone acknowledging the uncertainties of conference realignment, the precarious situation CU finds itself in, and a commitment to making ourselves as attractive as possible as a member of an athletic conference.
Some at CU have their head in the sand. Others simply don't care. Some have realized that expressing concern and suggesting action would be very bad for job security or avoiding punitive annoyances against you in trying to get your work done.
It’s the HC’s job, one of his jobs, in this era to create buy in. Doing that when you are a loser is a tough sell but it’s his damned job to do that. If kids aren’t buying what you are selling, how in the hell can you win?

It was telling to me that the camera stayed on Dorrell for what seemed like forever last week, and didn't say a single word to anyone the entire time. Didn't move. Didn't do anything.
Most coaches are on the headset with their coordinators or QB every single play. Dorrell just exists on the sideline. Doesn't do anything.

With that eeyore like sad face as his default expression.
I think the question is how many guys who are starters or seeing major playing time are entering the portal. If you lost 10 starters, and the 3rd stringers decide to stay because they now see opportunity (and they have no chance of another P5 scholarship), well that's quite different than losing 10 guys who are going to try to hook on at a directional school in a lower level of football.
Also, I see a lot of comments here that we have just G5 players and that rings as untrue to me. We have high school coaches at the top.

And neither assistant coaches nor players seem to seek him out and interact with him like they do with other coaches.
This.
On the Shutdown Fullcast (highly recommend, btw) this week, they talked about the fact that nubs fired Frost 3 weeks early to the tune of $8M.... but for who? Then they said that "like someone running for president, this is going to take someone with a dangerous degree of self confidence. You need someone that doesn't think they can fix nubs, they need someone who believes they're going to fix nubs." same applies with CU. We're going to need someone that not only has a plan to fix CU and can execute it, but also can create a culture here.

There is a reason teams keeping passing over Bienemy. Sorry I still have PTSD remembering the Embree years. No thanks to Eric! No way!
CU needs to get lucky and get a young great coach with passion, recruiting prowess and a winning aura ala Baylor with Aranda.
A young up and comer with enough experience not to be a total question mark but not enough cache to his name to make him a flight risk like Mel.
Someone who will rebuild the program and stay at least five years.
That’s the sweet spot for the next hire.

App State's coach or CCU...or did that guy already take a new job
Bieniemy is a non starter. He doesn't want to be in the college game anymore. He was asked if he was interested.
Shawn Clark is in his 3rd year at App and Jamey Chadwell is in his 4th at CCU. Both have had good success. App has lost their last 2 coaches to P5 programs

There's your two home run potential hires then
Dorrell is Embree circa 2022
Talk me off the ledge.
My current guess is that, assuming that @Arizona goes similarly to this past week:
CU fires Wilson as DC as a cost effective move. The hope would be that this would turn the heat down on KD. Then, they play the youth card, point to what KD is building, pump up Sanford for how he's getting the offense turned around, and sell us on how bright the future is on O if we stay the course.
Everything to avoid busting the budget and give KD + Sanford (signed a 3-year deal) the opportunity to return in 2023. Next year at about this time, they'd be around $6M owed to KD (maybe better if they extend him but offer easier termination terms after the season). And it makes it so the next Chancellor has to deal with it, which is a huge factor in this.

JFC, a 3 year deal for Sanford?
You shut your dirty wh*re mouth Nik. Give me Arizona 50+ and Karl eating Hersheys alone in Louisville by next Sunday evening
Rick gets a t-shirt cannon to the nuts if he denies me
Oh, I feel like this may be setting up for Dorrell getting the full season and maybe another year if he can win 1-2 games.
Yep. Sanford a 3-year deal. Several other 2-year deals given out. Wilson's on year 2 of a 3-year deal.
