I should have known with how much we struggled in that game last year that it was going to be a long season.

I seem to remember CU had some interest in McElroy and Cumber at one point.
CBS SN? Lame.
Does Cumber’s middle name start with a U? If so, he could go by C.U. Cumber!
Say it every year, but if there was ever a RMS matchup that should be an absolute blowout, this year is it. Talented upperclassmen at just about every level of the defense, an experienced upperclassmen QB, a solid RB group and an extremely talented WR corps. OL is really the only question mark, but assuming we have Lynott back, I'm not as worried about that group for week one.
I agree. And I think if we struggle like last year, we're likely in for another long season.
Our expectations should be high this year. I'm not interested in hearing about the OL excuse. Get it figured out Adams.
I hope McMillan mudholes them the way their Bama transfer did a few years ago.
I believe the best chance CSU had at beating CU was three years ago. The trajectory of the two programs since then has been in opposite directions. This year in particular is setting up to be an epic beat down.
That said, CU often finds a way to **** the bed in this game, so I’ll refrain from making any actual predictions.

I am encouraged by the good reports on Moretti. If he can hold down the LT spot, Haigler at RT Lynott at LG or C, I think CU has a chance to be a bowl team. People keep talking about Purcell, but until I see him in action, or any of the other younger players, I am going to look at these things with a grain of salt. The "best OL we have had around here in years" BS is still ringing in my ears.
Fact is, OL has been a recruiting problem. There just are not enough P12 caliber OL in the program now. Year six of MikMac's run, that is hard to swallow. Pretty much everywhere but OL and TE, CU has P12 talent and depth. Maybe not SC talent and depth, but certainly enough to be a .500 P12 team. IF CU falters, it will be for lack of OL play.
They'll try to connect us to the FBI case with Arizona.

I'm with you. I'd love to see McMillian go off for 150 and Fontenot to peel off another 75.
Can we challenge them to a showcase?
Must have been looking ahead for years now....
Not on my cable line-up. Sucks
I hate having to go to sports bars for Buffs games on obscure channels. It always ends with me annoying the hell out of some poor waitress.
So I can't just show up in your living room with a case of beer and some chips?
Only if they're Kettle Thai Spice chips.

Say what you will about Mac, he generally has the team prepared for the sheep.

He thinks its a rivalry and the biggest game of the year
First part correct, second part suspect.
I hope that Mac 1 get's in his ear about how the Rams are like playing your JV team and that this team needs to be very sharp for the ButtHuskers.
I expect to destroy them and go vanilla and still kill them by a ton even after resting some players, especially Montez if possible.
If we struggle against CSU, then I will be super nervous about the Red Team to our East.

65-22-2.
A win on 8/31 puts CU at a tidy 3:1 W/L ratio.
95-98 was the last 4 game win streak.

She’s probably a CSU grad. She had it coming.
