I am so thankful to be given another opportunity to play football at another amazing university. With that I am excited to announce my commitment to Colorado State.

Good for him and good luck Patrick.

CSU first game is against Colorado Friday night on Aug 31.

Good. The Buffs can lose to POB's new team that night then come to Lincoln and lose again the following weekend.

Doesn’t he have to sit a year

Yes.

Doesn’t he have to sit a year

Would this be one of those situations that when a new coach comes in w/ a completely different system, you could transfer and not sit out? Or maybe it's one of those situations where I think I know something but I don't have a clue. Probably the latter, that's what my wife would say.

Good for him. CSU is a great school. Fort Collins great city. Best of luck POB

I think that is the new proposed rule. Don't think it has been implemented (or approved?) yet.

Always had a soft spot in my heart for CSU, I hope he kills it there.

Agreed. CSU has always been one of my favorite non-husker teams.

Hope he has a successful career

If you are comparing him to Tanner Lee, TL still had to sit out a year, he just got an extra year added onto his eligibility

Maybe he will take along CSU's favorite BB coach.

Go Rams!

Colorado is rebuilding mode again, after falling to 5-7 in 2017.

They do have a returning QB. They beat Colorado State 17-3 last year.

Colorado State needs to break in a new QB coming off Mike Babo's fourth season. Offense is down for the Rams.

Colorado isn't Oregon State, like last year's season opener for the Rams, where they beat the Beavers 58-27.

In 2016, the Buffaloes played in their first Pac 12 title game. Though, coach Mike MacIntyre has had some off the field issues in his staff.

They won 10 games in 2016 for the first time, since 2001. Nebraska is certainly the program that appears to be on the stronger trajectory, than Colorado.

The Buffaloes open with 2 games away from Folson Field, then three straight at home. An 0-2 start isn't good for momentum.

Beat an improving Cal team last year 44-28. But, only 4 starters are back on offense, while 7 return on defense, along with both kickers.

Colorado State is only 4 and 4 on offense and defense.

Good luck Pat!! Only the best!

Colorado sucks

Love Foco. I live in south Denver and want to move up there. I can come down every weekend and stay with friends. Choice City Butcher and Deli is almost worth moving there alone.
