That's 100% fair but do we know if he's permitted? Genuine question BC anyone familiar with the typical college coaches modus operendi can tell you, they're not exactly the laissez-faire type.

And Iowa had to ruin it and get a second safety. The last game that ended 5-3 was Arizona beating Iowa in 1980.
Iowa D now outscoring their O. 7-3 Iowa off of 2 safeties and a fg.
Join me in @Uncle Ken "My cfb addiction" thread. Glass half full bros need to pass along the good vibes
We called a timeout to come up with that play. Inexcusable incompetence.
I get the sense that none of us are terribly surprised, just disappointed that our irrational hopes for a team that would be better than we all expected never materialized.
He snapped that with over 15 seconds on the play clock. Any QB who belongs on the field has to recognize that and call an adjustment. At the least, if he's not able to call an audible, he's got to look to the sideline for help. Lewis cannot be our quarterback.
"Nice tackle by the Colorado transfer Gonzalez"
More pain
More pain
My son said most in the student section were saying they anticipate they’ll be 0-3 then, but will be attending because the weather will still be nice. Most said after that they’re done.
Arizona is definitely faster than us. Jeezus.
Now why am I coming out for the UCLA game again? Like you said, hopefully the weather will still be nice.
I find this to be the most peculiar aspect of the whole situation. First and foremost, this staff has some legit experience with guys like Brett maxie, Chris Wilson, et al. KD certainly has connections but there's so much disconnect. Literally no one here thought Sanford was a good hire and most thought the same for cajun rod. Additionally, how were Jim Leavitt and coach Kap able to make such a significant impact starting on day one yet superbowl winning coaches struggle on year 3?
I don't think an administrative override is a realistic solution in this case. Maybe RG vetoes Sanford but that same logic would say he'd be equally likely to veto Shannon turley, given the accusations were credible whatever they may be. Turley is my lone hope for the future of this program but I wouldn't be a fan of override if it were Brian michalowski either
And still more points than a Dorrell led team produces

No, the biggest problem with CU football is that we have an administration that doesn't want and is unwilling to support a decent much less winning program.
Because of this we end up with a head coach like Dorrell, we end up with assistants who nobody good wants. We have a staff that does the bare minimum recruiting and we end up with a bunch of guys who would be in the MWC if not for us.
Is anyone surprised that KD is a complete failure. His prior college head coaching job he had a program with more resources and significant recruiting advantages that had better talent when he came in and he gradually rode it into the ground.
In the years since then did he get another sniff at a head job? Not even close. This far into his career and he was a WRs coach for a losing NFL team, not even a coordinator.
You think aspiring, motivated, talented assistants want to work for that kind of head coach.
And our administration is perfectly happy with the situation as long as there aren't any scandals and they can continue to pretend like CU is an elite academic institution (which it isn't anymore.)
You're right to laugh. Never in the history of football has the head coach or oc made any positive impact on their teams success.
We won 4 games last year with a wacky arm waving inflatable tube man as our o line coach and a social media influencer as our oc. We were good enough to play TAMU tough in spite of them. Or wait, am I misunderstanding? Cajun rod was actually the next joe bugel and chev mike leech?
My god, arguing with npc's is worse than talking to a wall. At least the wall won't give their retarded opinions at every opportunity. But trust me, we get it. You hate life so you satisfy masochist cravings on online forums as a coping mechanism. Take some expert advice, troll husker forums. You'll never laugh harder in your life and their tears provide endless nourishment

RE: Attendance.
Announced last night was 47k. The announced number is tickets sold, not bodies in the stadium. Going to expect that some of those tickets sold went to long timers who just automatically buy tickets each year but expect that the no-shows in that group were high.
Also know that a substantial number of season tickets are sold to corporate or business accounts who use them for sales and promotional reasons. Again betting that more than a few of these tickets went unused.
And from the looks of the crowd on TV last night at least 20k of the fans there were TCU fans come to see their team pick up a win in Boulder, most of our future opponents don't travel nearly as well.
Expect the rest of the season to hear announced attendance number close to 40k or above for the first part of the season. Then when our putrid level of play becomes obvious and single game ticket sales dry up we will drop into the mid to low 30s.
The reality though is that we may end up with some games with much closer to 20k actually fans in the stadium.

The student section was packed last night. So much so that students were coming into Section 215 where old folks like me sit, and the stadium employees were thus checking tickets. When the score hit 17-6 people were pouring out of the stadium en masse. 17-6 in college football with a quarter left to play isn't some insurmountable number, but the way TCU made it look so easy right from jump in the second half made the outcome obvious. Their QB dropped straight back and then ran it right up the middle several times for good yardage in one series, and the CU defense could do nothing. It reminded me of Todd Reesing for Kansas coming in and running wild from the QB position against CU back in the day. Pay attention to the guy who has the ball in his hands.
There was a lot of people in the stadium at kickoff. Actually rather impressive. The place looked great. Then we started playing football. People were hitting the exits at halftime.
It is amazing that we still have as many people showing up as we do after the past couple decades of pathetic games.
Still though without the TCU fans the crowd would have been much less.
Expect that this will be one of better crowds of the season and they will steadily diminish.
They're trailing Houston Baptist 32-14 late in the 3rd....
If they don't beat Houston Baptist they may not win a game this year. HB is a terrible football program.
So is unc
UNC should have stayed D2.

It was the only tackle Oregon made all day.
And Georgia scored on the very next play anyway. Still a nice effort.
