  1. Lookalike & Game thread - #20/21 (AP/ Coaches)/ #17 (NET rankings) Men's bball on the road vs. #124 (NET) UCLA (L.A., Thurs., 1/30, 9:00 PM MT, ESPN2)

    It's recruiting. We have no backup point guard (even though Tad was trying tonight to get Gatling to be one) and we just have no depth inside. My biggest concern with Tad when he was hired was whether he could get us the horses. He can find those guys who do well in transition and outside the...

    You guys on this board are a little rougher on individual players than I'm accustomed to, but I've been watching CU-BB for a really long time. Here's what I see with this of the scholarship guys, the best Boyle team in 4-5 years: These guys are top 25-caliber players: Wright, Bey, Schwartz...
  3. Cleveland’s Mel Tucker turned the tide for Ohio State vs. Michigan, now he’s turning around Colorado

    Great article. What a ride this guy has been on. I know I'm gushing black and gold here, but I feel pretty honored that he picked this place as "the right job." We all know it can be done here, but when Mel accepted this job, you can be sure that he called people to ask about this place. The...
  4. Game Day!!! Men's Bball faces San Diego in 1st home game of the season (Saturday, 11/16, 8:00 PM MT, Pac 12 Network)

    Decent win for the Buffs. Pretty rusty on the offensive end, but the effort was good in the second half. They showed they can clamp down on a team down the stretch, which is something they'll need, but especially on the road. USD was stuck on 42 points for 5 or 6 minutes it seemed, and in...
  5. Overall PAC12 football experience

    I visited most of the Big 8/12 sites, and so far 6 of the Pac 12 sites and I do like the change for road trips. The fans are … complacent and west-coasty, but better than the hillbilly/racist mix I saw in those other places. (Not the rule, but more than an exception.) I do like the other...
  6. Game thread- Men's basketball opens 2019/20 season in Shanghai vs. ASU (Friday, 11/8, 8:30 PM MT)

    Just saw the game on delay, didn't read the above posts. Fresh thoughts: Really nice depth on this roster. Tad will settle into 8-9 guys, with another 2-3 eager to get into the rotation. (Only about 9 deserved extended playing time after tonight, but it's the first game. Young kids, weird...
  7. USC hires Mike Bohn to replace Lynn Swann as AD

    That's right, I forgot about the Dunlap thing. Who knows how things might've turned out if Dunlap was hired, but my point at the time (loudly, on the other message board) was this: Can't we do a national search? There ARE good basketball coaches who don't live along friggin' I-25, believe it...
  8. USC hires Mike Bohn to replace Lynn Swann as AD

    If folks think Bohn did some stellar job with CU basketball, a history lesson is in order. Yes he hired Tad Boyle, but at the time that was a stretch. He bumbled and stumbled all the way to somehow getting Tad here. He failed in his handling of Ricardo Patton's final season (2006-07)...
  9. Official Buffs vs. USC Game Thread

    Are you guys really talking about officiating? Because I just got back from that 3 hours of Folsom Fun, and I saw: A confused, ineffective defensive scheme that was outmatched and outplayed on the line ... on every single play. An offense that KNOWS its defense is confused, ineffective, and...
  10. Montez sucks...time to move on...

    Not sure what his argument will be for remaining the starter, other than nobody else being ready. Sitting him down might also light a fire under Steven too. USC is looking really good right now, so the USC game is looking like a mismatch, plain and simple. Maybe coming off the bench is what...
  11. Montez sucks...time to move on...

    Fair enough but coaches own a lot of that too. I recognize that he's had 3 OC's in his 5 years here, but is he on #3 because he dragged them down, or that not one of those guys got him to play up to potential? I've never heard him described as especially interested in extra film room time, so...
  12. Montez sucks...time to move on...

    Not disagreeing with any of the above judgments on the young man, but it is worth pointing out that he rarely has a fully-formed pocked from which to throw. Announcers puke on their ties over guys who have all day to throw, but let's see how good they play with no protection. The next level...
  13. Official Buffs @ Oregon Game Thread

    Huard, like many broadcasters, sees football through the lens of a guy who has never blocked anyone (successfully) in his life. I get that this was a Duck celebration night, but what about calling out his formal rivals for playing their starters in the 4th quarter, up by 6 scores? When and if...
  14. Official Buffs @ Oregon Game Thread

    Miserable game any way you look at it, but here's what I saw: Open UO receivers on their first drive, and I mean OPEN. That is scheme and preparation. Coaches own that. A big spread out zone - really? Just challenge your young DB's to cover guys. Montez did not have time, but he showed...
  15. It's Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame Day!!!!!

    Last time we lost at home: Buffs went on the road against a top 25 team. Montez played (IMO) his best game as a Buff. We played 4 quarters of tough football, and won. This is different - depleted defense, yeah yeah. But is the P12 North that good? I have yet to see such evidence. On our...
  16. Oct 11 - Colorado @ Oregon

    I haven't posted here in a long time - really like the format, probably not new but it's new to me. So ... is there some unspoken code that Shenault won't play? Whatever a Core Muscle injury is, 3 weeks for a 21 year old seems enough to be back. Since we don't really need him (that much) on...
  17. Denver Post Editorial: Time to fire Mike Bohn

    Ok let me clarify: I'm just very disappointed that they settled on the guy in the first place. To me was very far from the profile of our next coach. To your point, sure, I can see why they were blind-sided. It's unfortunate that it happened but I hope we're smart enough to avoid being...
  18. Denver Post Editorial: Time to fire Mike Bohn

    This is the part that perplexes me. How could they have seen Butch Jones as a "sure thing" hire? Yes he's a fine coach, but we all know that's only part of the formula here. Did he show a burning fire to coach at CU? Did he rebuild a faded power into relevance? Does he know anything about...
  19. Denver Post Editorial: Time to fire Mike Bohn

    It's not a hangin' offense to lose your first choice. But what is another black mark on Bohn's resume is that it's known by everyone that we were turned down. Now, whichever coach takes this job is seen as our second or third choice. The dog and pony show we put on for Jones just didn't...
  20. Denver Post Editorial: Time to fire Mike Bohn

    Thanks for your candor. Your comment about having no Plan B is what has infuriated me the most about how "coaching searches" are conducted. They aren't searches at all, which is why we're in this predicament. The Jones experience is embarrassing. We're a better program with higher...
