Call me a negative Nancy, but going to Dallas in crazy Texas heat to play a Top 20 team coming off a championship appearance while youre introducing a new staff, new scheme and entirely new team doesn't inspire a ton of confidence in me for Saturday.

I'm bullish for the program, but tempering emotions for Saturday

I'm sure many Buffs fans appreciate your efforts to drive the line to +22.

That's kind of where I am. But excited and hopeful for the trajectory of our program!

Game time it should be 88 then get closer to 100 by the end of the game. A fast start by the Buffs would be essential in this case.

Of the 113 total players on the roster (including walk ons) there are 57 players from TX, FL, GA, AL, LA, MS, NC, MO, TN and KY and the vast majority of the projected starters, along with most back ups are among that group. The heat and humidity is being overplayed.

Why isn't anyone talking about the altitude advantage that CU players have? Conditioning should not be an issue for our team, while it very well could be for week one TCU.

You are in full season mode already!
 
Sounds like Ham and Bentley are probable LB starters with Kennedy as the rotational/cover package LB. Surprising, not going to lie. Really thought Kennedy was like the guy, but is suppose Ham emerging like this is great news. Will be interesting to see how quickly Mitchell can get up to speed and really bolster depth there

Also sounds like “Nickel” is essentially base defense

 
Hey, look! Another computer model that doesn’t know what to do with Shedeur. He comes in at #60.


In fairness, we was in the top 5 of underrated QBs.

No. 60 Shedeur Sanders, Colorado: Sanders has a lot to prove, but he has NFL arm talent and regardless of the level, throwing 40 touchdowns and 3,700 yards in a season — even in the FCS — should land a quarterback dozens of spots higher.

Probably bc altitude hasn’t helped for almost 20 years.

The biggest gaps I see between TCU fans and Colorado fans.

TCU fans

1. Coaching- Prime and his staff might as well be amateur hour at the Apollo. Don't know what you gonna get. Whereas Sonny who recently won NCOY is goated to them. While I don't have any issues with them feeling that way about Dykes, agree or not, he's been elite for them so far. But Prime been special at JSU and he's changed the culture at CU. While I'll give Dykes the clear edge, CU staff is better than TCU who just lost an offensive guru in Garrett Riley. The rest of their coaches are meh and while Briles is productive, he's not exactly great at his job.

2. 2 - Sanders has improved to them this week compared to previous weeks where he was ass to them but now he's just a mid QB from the SWAC. They really have no ****ing clue.

3. Trenches - TCU fans really think they got the 90s Cowboys in the trenches. In reality, they have a good OL. Two proven players who their coaches think will be studs this year. A underrated transfer from JSU in Willis Patrick who I wanted at CU. Their coaches feel they are 8 deep. 5 others not mention being decent at worse. That's a really deep OL compared to the rest of the nation. They are also the largest OL in the nation.

CU probably has the best draft prospect potentially in Tank. Van Wells has NFL upside. Savion is like Josh Newton was for them last year. Productive G5 guy who could make a major jump. Obviously Wiley, Beebe, and Bailey are just decent players with a mean streak and high Football IQ. Not gonna make people scared but they aren't scrubs. They are just as productive as the guys TCU expects to play on the OL. CU as the tallest starting tackles averaging 6'8.5. This is not a bad line. They may have some athletic issues with the guards but they have a lot of experience and football IQ to make up for it.

Defensively, Damonic might as well be Suh to these fools when he's like a poor man's Bear Alexander. A less talent flash guy with upside. Whereas, who's Cokes. Who's Payne. Who's Bishop Thomas. Who's Domminick and many of these defensive players were also recruited by TCU but they couldn't land them. I bet if Cokes was on TCU, they wouldn't stop raving about him. They just don't know. That's the biggest thing. Are CU trenches great, no. Is it going to be in the top 10 at the end of the season, unlikely. But it's not terrible. It's not much worse than TCU offensively and defensively, they are better. Size don't equal ability.

4. We know how nasty Antonio is.
We know how nasty Xavier is
We know how nasty Jimmy is.
We know how nasty Travis is.

These are all studs or potential studs.

To TCU, these are just okay WRs. What we know, they don't and the stats aren't elite for any of the 4 which I will give to TCU.

We also know Gaines, Dawson, Cooper, and Hopkins can really play and Gaines was highly productive at JSU. We know Ellis and Mathis got game too.

This is where we differ. This isn't just our best room, but this room has four NFL day 1 or 2 WRs within the next two draft classes. They just don't know.

5. Depth - TCU has more depth. That's a fact. Their coaches believe their depth is 2.5 deep when last year it was 2 to 1.5 depending on the position. This year's CU are 2.5 to 1 depending on the position. Obviously the gap between our tackles to our backups is massive. But safeties, WRs, RBs, and ST is stacked. Depth could be a major issue for CU if injuries happen but for now, they good

When comparing CU fans to any other fanbase, failing to address the way Colorado fans embrace being the assholes seems an oversight.
