Shilo’s pick six was the same way. The eruption from the crowd was awesome

Too all you haters - I was responding to what I felt was a silly comment. Yes - I think Mikey Harrison should be on scholarship. But I don't view giving a scholarship to a starting tight end who just went 7/76 with 2 TDs and a 2pt conversion as a feel good "reward" to post on social media. If we don't give him a scholarship, someone else will.
From my point of view, we're talking about a potential NFL prospect.

One thing about College Football Scholarships that I had never realized and I think that is forgotten is they are year to year, and are not guaranteed for all 4-5 years a player might spend at the school. Mikey should get a 2023-24 Scholarship immediately, and then he will likely get a refund from the school that he can spend accordingly. He stuck around, he changed positions, he has worked hard, he has to put up with Brewster's potty mouth, and he contributed to the Rams failed attempt to beat us. The guy should have a scholly and a statue
If he’s given a scholarship, the academic scholarship is guaranteed. Membership on the team is not guaranteed.
As he didn't sign a letter of intent or financial aid agreement, the duration and terms of the scholarship would be up to the school. That is why walk-on's can get a scholarship one year and not have one the next year. Most teams don't award them though to walk-on's with eligibility remaining unless they are primary contributors. We have room this year to give him one, they should do it.
Unsure of the Big 12 rule, but my understanding is that the P12 schools have opted to keep those academic scholarships valid until the player’s expected graduation date. For walkons, the liability is usually lower because they make good academic progress and have 1-2 (3 on rare on occasion) years left in school.
As of several years ago this is incorrect. Scholarships are for at least four years now.
I knew the Pac12 was the 1st to guarantee the 4 years for LOI signers, I hadn't read anything about doing similar for walk-on's. In one way it kind of hurts walk-on's because a team may be reluctant to give a walk-on any aid if they knew that they had to keep giving it, costing them an opportunity to recruit someone better. For most walk-on's getting 1 year paid for is great, knowing they never had the expectation of getting one at all. Under the NCAA rules you couldn't award a walk-on aid for football one year, then take it away and put him on academic scholarship while allowing him to continue to participate in football. He would have to quit football to maintain that aid.
Just make sure to leave the stadium once the game is over, even if the band is sill playing , you should be good.
Don't forget to admire the substantial hedges adorning the new stadium.

Haven’t been that far north in CO yet. I might have to consider this one. Some of my wife’s family (CSU Alum and all around supportive) would probably hate me, but the chances of seeing a Buffs game at Folsom may be slim. There is also the kNub game in Stincoln next year…
He had enough of a chance that if he was playing football instead of headhunting, he would have absolutley tried.
That's what makes me so confident that the hit was intentional.
My bad, things have been so fluid for the past few years. Thank you for the clarity
I am hopeful they pull the special Scholarship presentation to Mikey to pump up the team, cause he has earned it
Pretty much all rules with regard to the 4 year guarantee are only for players that sign national letters of intent out of high school or juco and/or similar financial aid agreements. I am pretty sure the division 1 manual still allows 1 year agreements for all other situations, except grad transfers.
Was curious so I took a look at Ramnation and saw some funny stuff. In addition to bitching about the officiating, one thing they are going on about is that the huge ratings for the game weren't all about CU and CP. They actually think Gameday may come to Ft Collins for one of their upcoming games.
This is why I can't hate CSU fan. Bless their hearts.
Lol I don't even know who they play this week, but once they lose, it'll be back to irrelevance for them.
Incorrect. They are already irrelevant. They were irrelevant as soon as Prime forgave then for being ****heads and ended that storyline

please cite your source on this -- this is new information and I'm now intensely curious
I’ve always argued that by definition the word “targeting” implies intent. And that’s been my problem with the penalty when, say, a tackler begins the process of tackling a running quarterback and after he initiates the momentum the QB drops into a slide and the tackler hits him in the helmet area.
To me that does not meet MY definition of targeting because there was no intent to hit the QB in the helmet.
So in this case, Blackburn definitely “targeted” TH. No doubt. But the hit didn’t meet the definition in the rule book. And I suppose any legal tackle could be described as a generic definition of targeting.
Iirc he wanted to work at FSU and reached out and they said you have to get a degree. So he went and got one. Don’t think they dismissed his hbcu degree
