“We were the best-conditioned football team,” Tucker said after sending CU fans into rapturous joy. “Our team is built in the weight room.”
Yes - he did it in just 1 year, something Frost witnessed in the TO years and claims he is doing, but have yet to see any evidence of it in year 2.“We were the best-conditioned football team,” Tucker said after sending CU fans into rapturous joy. “Our team is built in the weight room.”
Was only able to watch the 4th but could immediately tell our D was tired. You have to live here (25 minutes from Boulder) to know how the sun setting in the West will beat the heck out of you in the afternoon. I could see it on the players faces. It’s been hot as hell here lately and today was no exception. That’s the only advantage I can see him saying as “best conditioned”....
It’s pretty simple really. They practice at altitude. They’re bodies are used to it. There’s a reason that Mile High has generally been a substantial home field advantage for the Broncos.
That absolutely can’t be, just ask @huskerbaseball13. He clearly states in another thread that that’s just an excuse.Was only able to watch the 4th but could immediately tell our D was tired.

Just a guess, but with that advantage, there will still be several teams that beat Colorado this year.It’s pretty simple really. They practice at altitude. They’re bodies are used to it. There’s a reason that Mile High has generally been a substantial home field advantage for the Broncos.

Remind me again... 4-8 and 4-8 the last 2 years... we should have no trouble beating everyone in our path, right?Yep, it’s either an excuse or we are poorly conditioned. Nebraska was on the field just as much as Colorado.
Remind me again...what’s Colorado’s record at home over the last decade? I’ll wait.

Depth is getting a lot better but true statement. It will get tough later in the year when the DBs get injured and there just aren't any more guys to turn to. The other side of the coin is that our young guys on the lines will be a lot better later in the year, so it may offset what we lose elsewhere. Thankfully for us, we get Stanford, USC, and Washington all at home. I suspect we'll beat at least 1 of the 3, 2 if we're competing for the division title.That is most certainly true. To be honest I think catching Colorado later in the season is best. Not a lot of depth in that program. They do have a top tier receiving core but otherwise that is definitely a game that we should have won. Sh!t happens!
This isn't the 90s anymore. Every D-I program has a Strength & Conditioning program/staff that is as good or better than ours.
You have to have great players who are difference-makers on the field. We don't have many of them and we're not recruiting enough of them.
that is correct. and the media feeds into it because, like the national media, they are trying to sell commercials and fans eat that up. the media has been doing it (building the hype every year in the preseason) in Nebraska since the 60's the fans eat it up, and the dissatisfaction comes out just as it is right now on this board,This isn't the 90s anymore.

5 or 6 actually.Just a guess, but with that advantage, there will still be several teams that beat Colorado this year.
