Official Game Thread - Colorado vs TCU: Sko Buffs!!!

Crazy how many Tunginbil(sp?)- like analysis there was before this game, even on the radio as we were driving to Ft Worth some dummy was talking about CU was 1-11 last year and had no chance in this game. Might as well tell me what the 1922 CU record was because it's just about as relevant.

Shout out to the Buffs bash tailgate and CU section, great group of fans and we represented well. Walking out of that stadium as victors felt so satisfying, high fived every Buff fan I saw

Counterpoint: we have a ton of speed now and our coverage team can get there.

I go back and forth on this. On the one hand, the math is the math and if we're kicking off 6+ times a game this should add up to 30-40 yards of field position with opportunities to force turnovers. On the other hand, the risk of a big return by the opponent gives me a damn heart attack.

Are we assuming the other team never fair catches it?

I agree. It is an interesting idea in applying the stats, if they suggest that overall field position is worse for returns overall. I appreciate the idea of working every angle and I love the aggregation of marginal gains approach.

But, I agree and would still go with the 0% chance of a big return or TD if you kick it out of the endzone every time.

I think this also gets answered in looking at Prime's commitment to going for it on fourth and short consistently. He is not risk-adverse, at all, and I have to respect that.

Sportsmediawatch.com usually posts Tuesdays, but it will be Wednesday this week due to the holiday. They predicted 3.6M viewers, but I'm not sure how that will pan out.

FSU rout of LSU hits Sunday night high

Despite a much wider margin than last year, FSU's rout of LSU scored a double-digit jump in viewership on ABC.
www.sportsmediawatch.com www.sportsmediawatch.com

They were pretty close on their predictions for FSU/LSU (They predicted 9.3M, it got 10.3). They predicted 4.1M for WVU/Pitt; it got 3.7.

HOLY ****ING ****

Sportsmediawatch was WAY off on thier prediction.

TCU/CU garnered a 3.8 rating and 7.26 M viewers:

For context, only 8 regular season games from all of the 2022 season drew more viewers. Only 3 did so from the 12:00 slot: OSU/Michiga, OSU/Penn State, and Alabama/Texas.
 
Those are the type of numbers that will get us a B1G or SEC invite next time around if we're doing it consistently.
 
I can see the Oregon game exceeding these ratings depending if both teams are 3-0 and the broadcast slot/network it is on.
 
SIAP

Johnny Hodges is a guy I'd want on my team. Unless the problem is coaching, they'll get this defense fixed. Too much talent to be performing like this & they clearly have player leadership.

LB Hodges calls sloppy TCU CFB's 'laughingstock'

TCU linebacker Johnny Hodges said Tuesday that his team's defensive performance in a 45-42 loss to Colorado was unacceptable, calling the Horned Frogs "the laughingstock of college football."
