    Nick Saban is retiring from coaching

    I have no sympathy for the Washington Fans, they were totally insufferable when they poached Neuheisel away. Their message boards were horrible to CU. Miami seems to not remember the context of the RN departure. He set up recruiting to have a big final weekend where all of the recruits would...

    Nick Saban is retiring from coaching

    Be real. I am older than all of you and have been on Discord for years.

    NIL: How Does it Work? (Plus transfer rules)

    Sorry but university endowment has little to do with athletic resources. Donations to the athletic department would be a better indicator. It will be interesting to see where CU ranks in 2023 - they ranked 51st in 2022 in athletic budget.

    NIL: How Does it Work? (Plus transfer rules)

    Okay, for the anal retentive, you need an employer to have a CBA with. Is that clear enough?

    NIL: How Does it Work? (Plus transfer rules)

    In order to have a union you have to have an employer. Once college athletes become employees you will see dramatic changes in college sports with a lot of colleges dropping athletics altogether, IMO. Too big of a can of worms. I also see these NIL entities as a big problem with little or no...

    NIL: How Does it Work? (Plus transfer rules)

    I agree. The whole college football landscape is getting out of hand with realignment, NIL (pay for play), etc. When I see Jimbo Fisher walking away with $80 Million for not coaching I have to wonder if there is not a certain amount of donors that turned off by all of this. I know I was...

    NIL: How Does it Work? (Plus transfer rules)

    The whole NIL thing has become a scam. To try to correlate it to any sort of revenue model is insanity. Donors pay into a collective and the money is parsed out to players. From the ringer. The system is out of control.

    How optimistic are you about the 5-year future of CU football?

    I am concerned about the 5 year future. Sanders is a great promoter and has a vision for building a program. One of my concerns is can CU compete in this era of NIL and free spending (a lot of really good programs are in the same boat). I also believe that Sanders should re-evaluate some of...

    How happy are you with the 2023 CU football season overall?

    I was happy with the enthusiasm that returned to CU football fan base, which seemed to on death's door step. Also the increase in donations and ticket sales. I was less happy how the season played out. Stanford game was bad. Many questions going forward.

    2023-24 Coaching Carousel (Fitzgerald out, DC Braun interim at Northwestern)

    From the irony in coaching department. As USC drops out of the rankings two of their former HCs have their teams ranked in the top 10. Steve Sarkisian and Lane Kiffin are both thriving. USC was justified in firing both of them. Both it seems may have rehabilitated and resurrected their...

    Other Games 10/31 - 11/4

    I think Lincoln Riley has been exposed again. He is like the fancy show pony who fades in final turn as things get chippy. At some point in time you have to say that defense is important. Riley does a tremendous job with the offense and QBs but to be a great HC you need to realize all facets...

    Colorado vs. Oregon State - Nov 4 - 8PM, ESPN

    Sometimes there are no quick fixes. Coach Prime has come into Colorado and sold the idea of a quick turnaround, and he has done that to an extent. But you don't always rebuild everything in a single pass. Elite and dominant teams are built in the trenches and CU is lacking there. I am not...

    Colorado vs. Oregon State - Nov 4 - 8PM, ESPN

    Good assistants protect a HC from themselves. Someone should have said something. That was a perplexing offensive sequence that gave OSU 7 points.

    College Football News, Rumor & Humor

    I finally watched the Documentary and came away feeling that he had really learned nothing. He is doing beer shots with his buds in his back yard, and his sister saying he is not ready to do anything with his life. Man, it has been a decade since you were at A&M - time to grow up.

    Colorado v Stanford- October 13, 2023 - 8pm MT, ESPN

    Young team, lots of hype, have not learned how to get back momentum when it has slipped away. The whole team lost focus at half-time including the coaches. Unfortunately turns off like a switch but does not turn back on that way.

    Colorado v USC - September 30, 2023 - 10am MT, FOX

    I have to give this coaching staff a lot of credit. They held up well to a highly-touted USC team. I was concerned about how this year would go in the trenches but although there is a ways to go they are much farther than I thought they would be. The Buffs had been recruiting too many players...

    CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

    CFB playoffs are rethinking the new format and maybe only have the top 5 conferences with bids. So 5 automatic and 7 at large. Direct response to the PAC12 imploding.

    Other Games 9/7 - 9/9

    I have not seen all the teams play and I have not watched USC yet, but I am not sure there is a truly dominate team out there. Maybe Georgia and FSU looked good. Will know more when some of these teams play some competition. I think we may be seeing the results of the transfer portal where...

    Nebraska Game Week - Prime: “This is personal. That’s the message of the week.”

    What are you saying is not true? He never said season ticket holders could not sell there tickets and was only commenting on the size of the secondary market.

    Nebraska Game Week - Prime: “This is personal. That’s the message of the week.”

    I keep seeing the narrative that NU fans take over Folsom. I am not going to argue that NU fans travel well and have a huge contingent but having 50% of the stadium - IMO that has never happened. I have gone to CU-NU games since the early 60s and in my mind they never took over Folsom. I...
