THe time is now to make some moves in MBB. WIth all the great news in Football lets not forget about the mess that is MBB. We need to use this momentum to get HCTB to think creatively and make some changes to provide adequate funding to find solid players for our open positions. We need a big guy badly and those guys arent cheap if even available, so we'll need committed $$$ to strike quickly when something is available. Job one is building a roster for next year before its too late. The portal will have lots of new additions over the next couple weeks and we need to aggressively act.

Saturday:
3)Texas Tech (Big 12) vs 1) Florida (SEC) – 4:09 PM – TBS
2) Alabama (SEC) vs 1) Duke (ACC) – 6:49 PM TBS

Sunday:
2) Tennessee (SEC) vs 1) Houston (Big 12)– 10:20 AM CBS
2) Michigan State (Big 10) vs 1) Auburn (SEC) – 1:05 PM CBS

Colorado and Syracuse have both filed paperwork that, if approved, would allow joint practices and the scrimmage at Folsom Field on April 19.

Deion Sanders today has received a contract extension that will keep him leading the Buffs through the 2029 season. The extension comes with a raise in base salary for the upcoming season to $10 million that will make him the highest-paid coach in the Big 12 and one of the 10 highest-paid coaches in college football.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to continue building something special here at Colorado," Sanders said in a press release. "We've just scratched the surface of what this program can be. It's not just about football; it's about developing young men who are ready to take on the world. I'm committed to bringing greatness to this university, on and off the field. We've got work to do, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here, making history with these incredible players and this passionate fan base. Lastly, anybody got at least a five-bedroom home with acreage for sale?"

The 2024 Valero Alamo Bowl featuring No. 17 BYU and No. 23 Colorado generated a total economic impact of $59 million for San Antonio and brought 44,909 visitors to town, according to a report conducted by Economic Analytics Consulting, LLC.

The impact is the second highest total in the event’s history behind the $73.7 million impact from the 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl between Texas A&M and Penn State.

The 2024 report also indicated an average length of stay of 2.6 days with 30.5% of the out-of-state guests making their first visit to San Antonio.

For the final year of its current conference agreements, the Valero Alamo Bowl will again feature a matchup between the first choice from the following two 12-team pools after the College Football Playoff field is selected:

Big 12 Conference Pool – Baylor, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, and West Virginia.
Pac-12/Former Pac-12 Pool – Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Utah, Washington, and Washington State

Slow Buff day. I’ve been hearing a lot of talk on sports radio about Shedeur’s stock dropping, maybe he’ll fall out of first round, etc. People, including some local guys, are saying Deion is scaring teams away, he’s not athletic enough, he doesn’t have the requisite arm strength he has a bad attitude, etc. I’ve watched every game the kid has played over the last two years. I’ve never heard a complaint from any of his teammates about him, never saw a throw he couldn’t make, saw a high level of escapability if not speed . . . I did not watch much of Cam Ward, but I see SS as a top 5 pick if not the #1 QB in the class. What’s your take?

Conferences left:
SEC (7) – record for the most in the sweet 16 – ACC had the previous high of 6
Alabama
Florida
Arkansas
Auburn
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Kentucky

Big Ten (4)
Maryland
Michigan State
Michigan
Purdue

Big 12 (4)
Arizona
BYU
Houston
Texas Tech

ACC (1)
Duke

We already know the Ga Tech game already. The Big 12 as we know already released theirs. The SEC does not Friday games outside of the first weekend and Thanksgiving weekend. So the last P4 to announce is the Big 10, last year they had Friday games all but one weekend. I think when the Big 10 announces we will get a better idea of the Ga Tech game.

Ben Franklin once wisely said, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” For me, these words carry a deeper meaning. After five years of battling a rare form of cancer, I am still here—thanks to the incredible generosity of so many kind-hearted souls and the life-saving miracle drug, Keytruda. At 83 years old, I am humbled and grateful to still be living a relatively full life.

But alongside this miracle comes an unavoidable "tax"—the staggering cost of my Medicare copays. These include expenses for surgeries, CT scans, and vital medications. For instance, I recently received a hospital bill for $2,368.22, adding to an already challenging outstanding balance of $5,478.10. My wife and I live on a fixed monthly income of $4,921.00 from our Social Security benefits, which must cover everything—rent, utilities, food, and medical expenses.

Your support has been—and continues to be—my lifeline. Without it, meeting these mounting financial demands would be impossible. An example that highlights this struggle is my need for a critical blood thinner, Xarelto, due to my pacemaker. When I attempted to renew it recently, I was faced with an overwhelming cost of nearly $2,000 for a 90-day supply—far more than I had ever paid. After numerous phone calls, I managed to reduce the cost to $141, but such challenges are becoming a constant in my life.

I am reaching out, once again, to ask for your compassion and support. Your generosity and my committed medical team has been instrumental in my ability to fight this disease, and I pray that together, as a team, we can continue to overcome the hurdles ahead.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being my angels. May you and your loved ones be richly blessed.

With gratitude, Craig Brown (NCBuff)

Just coming accross the news feeds. Multiple first rounds picks plus players and other picks. Great day for the Broncos. I'd rather have Wilson than Rogers. Denver still has draft picks left plus a strong roster already in place and a good defense. Great news for Bronco fans.
