Had a good conversation with Leon Jackson on Sat. great guy! He let me know we will be getting a NEW Video Board for the south end. It will be the width of the current band that is at the bottom of the small one we have my guess is it triples the size

WE have needed this for ever!

I am really rooting for them to go undefeated and be the first service academy in a NY6 bowl. It would be cool to see too that they could have made a playoff field of 12. I know it’s only halfway but hard not to dream for them

CU Sports Report catches up with Tristan da Silva, Eddie Lampkin, Assane Diop and J'Vonne Hadley at men's basketball media day on Tuesday.

Check out the full sessions below:

I mean can’t say I’m surprised. At least GB waited until he won the Rose Bowl. Sanders will sell a ton though and make a pile. The guy knows how to sell himself win or lose. Maybe we can win two more and then it feels more like a story worth reading right after we get back from a bowl win

With the basketball season around the corner, head coaches Tad Boyle and JR Payne met with reporters Tuesday to discuss their expectations heading into this season for the Colorado men's and women's basketball teams.

Buffs women's basketball is coming into the season ranked 20th in the Associated Press Top 25 poll and 18th in the coaches poll while the men are looking to exceed their fifth-place finish expectations in the Pac-12 preseason media poll. Both coaches talked about their players, recruiting and much more during Tuesday's media day.

Check out the coaches' media availability below:

A look around the country:

The Associated Press has released its preseason top 25 this morning, and the Buffs just missed out on making the cut. CU received 49 points to finish behind only Wisconsin among teams outside the top 25. UCLA is right behind Colorado on the list. Arizona (No. 12) and USC (No. 21) are the only Pac-12 teams represented.

Preseason top-25 opponents include No. 13 Miami (Dec. 10), Arizona (Jan. 4, Feb. 10) and USC (Jan. 13, Feb. 17).

Like Coach Prime, Shedeur has been the best thing to happen to CU for decades. Yes, I could do with a little less self-promotion and showing off his $$$, but I'll live with it as long as he is as much of a gamer that he is and is a good kid overall.

As has been seen, if he is not nearly perfect, CU can't win now. He missed a wide open Travis Hunter that would have put us in position to win and it seemed like he had a bad game. Crazy! He had a great game until that throw and of course the awful decision for the jump ball which he acknowledged was a huge mistake (duh!) All of this is to point to why he has this "Superman Complex" - if he can't make it happen no one can. IMO, besides the OL being atrocious, this is one of the reasons he is the most sacked and hit QB in the country. He holds and holds the ball trying to make the big play opposed to living to see another down. Too many intentional groundings because he holds to long desperate to finds something downfield and just has to try to throw the ball away to no-one after retreating 10+ yards.

How does Shedeur progress? Well, I think we have seen a little in the last two games when he uses his legs quickly when the play is not there. Take the short gain (or even some nice longer runs) opposed to waiting for the big pass play to develop. He's doing that more, so great understanding and maturation. The other part is on the options . . . there have been too many times where he has held onto the ball at the mesh-point instead of handing it off and it creates slow developing runs that are eaten up at the LOS. The more he starts taking some incompletions or short gains to live another play, he will be even that much better . . . and when he finally gets some blocking next year (fingers crosses), damn, is he going to be scary.

When it comes to Lewis, I really scratch my head with a lot of the play calls and I think much of the offense's success is due to Shedeur making incredible plays. I know the OL sucks, but these slow developing run plays have killed us, the lateral runs rarely work, keeping Shedeur in the no-existent pocket are getting him killed. Maybe even throw in a true old-school Hagan to Bienemy/Flannigan option with Edwards? Opposing defenses know that generally get a free rush, so let's see some better scheming.

In any case, most of his play calling is super predictable and if not for Shedeur, I think we are having the same complaints that we had with the last few OCs.

. . . no, not suggesting that should happen here, but I'm with DTown. Deion Sanders has developed a "Cult of Personality" around himself and his team. And it draws media, endorsements, rappers, attention and money. And its great.

But none of those things win football games. Rappers and AFLAC ads can't sit down a squad with a 29-0 lead and coach them to not stop playing. We have defensive coordinator who can't count to 11. A stubborn head coach who overplays a clearly out-of-shape Travis Hunter both ways for 3 hours because he can. And we lose a game because of it. Character and discipline? Try almost 200 yards in penalties. Including a crippling personal foul on 4th down against Travis Hunter.

The Emperors new clothes came off last night. It remains to be seen what's underneath.

Good for us. 😂😂😂😂😂

How non conference scheduling factors in, if it does to TV revenue? OU and UGA were supposed to play this year and they cancelled it because one school wasn’t going to have a return game once OU joined the SEC. That said you would think OU vs UGA would earn significantly more TV revenue for the schools than whatever garbage team they each replaced them with. It seems to be if these major inter conference games have no impact on revenue distribution why would teams schedule them?
