You’re confusing me for somebody else. NCAAF is by far the easiest sport to beat, especially in the first 3-5 weeks. Sharps in college football are right closer to 75-80% of the time.Damn. Those guys are right 52% of the time.

We are worse at WR as well.I’ve addressed this already, but relative to 2021, we are worse at CB and RB, IMO. I think we are better as a front seven, better on the OL, better at QB, same at WR, same or better at TE, same at Safety.
Blanket statements about overall team talent are worthless.
I disagree. Think WR is pretty much a washWe are worse at WR as well.
Remind me who we are replacing Rice and Stanley with and maybe I’ll reconsider my position.I disagree. Think WR is pretty much a wash
Manhattan can probably get you action on 10-2.That’s inaccurate.
I surround myself only with super sharp bettors. I also bet and win several multiples more than your annual salary on sports, especially European Football and American College Football. I can confidently state that you’re just wrong on this subject.That’s inaccurate.
I tend to believe in experience, development and growth has a positive affect on most players. We also added a solid player. My point is, I don’t believe we got any worse from a talent standpoint. “Better” may have been the wrong way to say itNow youre just putting words into my mouth. The OL was horrible last year. Returning starters isn’t a positive.
Nothing super sharp about that post.I surround myself only with super sharp bettors. I also bet and win several multiples more than your annual salary on sports, especially European Football and American College Football. I can confidently state that you’re just wrong on this subject.
I see you’ve got nothing. Good luckNothing super sharp about that post.
Sneed and any number of the under classmen. WR is pretty deep, IMO, and Ive been vocal for a while now that Jordan Tyson is a stud who was criminally underrated coming out as the best player on one of the top TX high school programs.Remind me who we are replacing Rice and Stanley with and maybe I’ll reconsider my position.

i would like for this to be the gospel truth but it isn't what the facts tell us at this point.Sneed and any number of the under classmen. WR is pretty deep, IMO, and Ive been vocal for a while now that Jordan Tyson is a stud who was criminally underrated coming out as the best player on one of the top TX high school programs.
Thats a very unconvincing argument. We are replacing two guys with talent and experience with Freshmen and you are claiming it’s a wash? Ok.Sneed and any number of the under classmen. WR is pretty deep, IMO, and Ive been vocal for a while now that Jordan Tyson is a stud who was criminally underrated coming out as the best player on one of the top TX high school programs.
Sneed is not a freshman and I just believe Stanley is very replaceable. He wasn’t a difference makerThats a very unconvincing argument. We are replacing two guys with talent and experience with Freshmen and you are claiming it’s a wash? Ok.

Sneed is a proven player at the P5 level who has put up numbers at a successful program. Stanley is meh. If losing Stanley is what makes the WR group “less talented” in the eyes of Buff fans, I don’t know what to tell you.i would like for this to be the gospel truth but it isn't what the facts tell us at this point.
teams can catch lightning in a bottle-- and this particular team should have a huge ****ing chip on its shoulder. that kind of a grudge is exactly the kind of thing that can lead to good things. but, success prognosticating isn't about what we want to happen or what could conceivably happen. it is about what we think is most likely to happen.

I think the biggest issue with this team is that they will certainly be coached to play a messy style that mucks up the game to keep things close. I think the optimistic max win total is 4. They could very well end up winless, but more probably find a way to keep things interesting against Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, and USAFA. Despite their best efforts, the other games: a) are against teams with much better opposition and b) are slated very badly for the Buffs’ lack of quality depth. If they don’t win the ASU game, they’ll be major favorites to end the season on a 6-game losing streak.i would like for this to be the gospel truth but it isn't what the facts tell us at this point.

ok, hope you are right. i will however suggest there are the following reasons players transfer in the current free agent era:Sneed is a proven player at the P5 level who has put up numbers at a successful program.

How did you leave off as a reason that "he can make a lot more money somewhere else"?ok, hope you are right. i will however suggest there are the following reasons players transfer in the current free agent era:
1. they think they can start somewhere else or move up in division or get a scholarship.
2. they think they can get more exposure somewhere else/ and/or they want to win.
3. they have some personal issue with the coaches or in their lives.
we had a bunch of starters leave so most of them were not in cat 1. cat 3 is a wild card and is highly random. cat 2 is the worst possible way for a p5 team to lose players.
we had starters leave for peer schools or worse with no guarantee that they would start elsewhere. these were the core that every team has to rely on. i want to believe that the guys replacing them are going to be great, but i am not sure the evidence or record supports that optimism.
you are right-- i had that in cat 2-- more exposure.How did you leave off as a reason that "he can make a lot more money somewhere else"?
Rice was always asking for social media follows, knowing that was a key metric used in calculating the value of his brand. USC offered a deal CU wasn't going to be able to match. It was always about that.
It’s kind of a “if a tree falls” argument.Remind me who we are replacing Rice and Stanley with and maybe I’ll reconsider my position.
Arias is good as long as he's not being called upon to catch a football.Remind me who we are replacing Rice and Stanley with and maybe I’ll reconsider my position.
