    Some Thoughts from a Friend from the West . . .

    Problem is that thanks to the playoffs, simply winning your conference and going to a New Years Day Bowl game isn't enough anymore. It's all about the playoffs and making sure you get a seat - which means playing a bunch of cupcakes early in the year to make sure your record is unsullied...

    Some Thoughts from a Friend from the West . . .

    . . . I used to post here quite a bit back in the day. Back when, I dunno, CU Football kinda mattered and it was fun to interact with other CFB fans . Even made some friends and clients here. But the conference blew up, NU chose wisely, CU did not, CU began sucking . . . ugh. I found other...

    Anyone know what Fordham runs for offense or defense?

    Expect to see a healthy dose of these guys. Hey, I'm not making fun. CU gets to the play the UNC Fighting McCaffreys this weekend.

    When we stormed Normandy we knew there would be casualties

    This has been a fun (and civil!) discussion. Truly uncharted waters. With California still being locked up like a Tupperware container, it was pretty easy to predict that the PAC 12 was gonna cancel. Last time I looked, the CA schools are all remote learning through the fall - and you can't...

    When we stormed Normandy we knew there would be casualties

    Here's the basic problem: you have a half dozen conferences, each with individual and separate medical advisors, all getting differing opinions. The NCAA (or perhaps a sub-group formed by the major conferences) need a single medical board advising them. Because right now you have about 6...

    When we stormed Normandy we knew there would be casualties

    I appreciate your perspective. But once you get college kids back to campus, put them in dorms, classes, rec centers etc . . . kids are gonna get COVID. It's going to happen. And that sounds like a risk Universities are willing to take given that college age kids are practically immune to...

    When we stormed Normandy we knew there would be casualties

    Holtz isn't wrong. We are at war. We're at war with a virus. It's a multi-front war with the goals being the same: you need to identify the enemy, isolate him, find his weakness and destroy him. Which is what we're trying to do. And the battlefields are hospitals and labs. And just like...

    Big Ten to Try to Play in Spring 2021?

    Seriously, this "Spring Football" thing isn't going to happen. It's appeasement, not an actual plan. Kevin Warren is a political animal with big ambitions, and this decision is the "safest" political decision he can make - to hell with the science and the actual data. And since the PAC 12 is...

    That Was Fun . . .

    Grow up. You wanna examine every tackle with stop action photography? Then every hit is gonna look like the Zapruder film. Jeezus. I could do the same thing to the hit on Jay MacIntyre and your guy would be doing time. You lost. Deal with it.

    That Was Fun . . .

    It hurt like hell, but I'm better now. Had a good orthopedic surgeon.

    That Was Fun . . .

    OL was a concern before the season and remains so. Nebraska was sending the house on every play and was giving CU some looks it hadn't seen before and clearly wasn't prepared for. Like I said, CSU ain't Nebraska. CU's OL doesn't have to be great. Just good enough to give Montez time to throw...

    That Was Fun . . .

    . . . well, a lot less fun for you guys, but that was a big-time college game-day atmosphere that is sorely lacking in the PAC 12. And yeah, it's no fun losing a game where you feel you outplayed the other guy but . . . join the club. We've got jackets. 4 words: Alex Henery in 2008. JJ...

    Man Michigan looks like hot garbage.

    Hi Guys. Nice to have an excuse to talk CFB on CU-Nebraska week. Harbaugh? It's Occams Razor, college football style - the simplest explanation is the right one. He's a freaking weirdo. His style is successful at first and then simply drives his superiors and fanbase bat$%^& after 3-4...

    Gebbia is transferring

    Even so . . . this is the current ecosystem. Players - and especially QB's - want to be showcased for pro scouts from jump street. And they'll cross the street - if not the country - to find a place where that can happen. And they'll do it as often as it takes. Not saying its the kids fault...

    Gebbia is transferring

    Welcome to the new world of QB recruiting. Mommy and Daddy are spending thousands - sometimes tens of thousands - of dollars for private coaching, QB camps, counselors, advisors, you name it . . . in hopes that junior is gonna start. You don't take out a 2nd mortgage on the family home with...
