I was out at Pac-12 men's basketball media day today in Las Vegas where Tad Boyle, KJ Simpson and Tristan da Silva represented the Buffs. Here's the main stage interview session for Colorado plus the two breakout sessions providing some additional insight into this year's team. As you can hear at the end of the conversation with Boyle he was cut short for other obligations but Simpson and da Silva provided plenty of good information about CU's team heading into the upcoming season. They also react to being selected to finish fifth in the Pac-12 by conference media.

With the active rotation linebackers coach Andre' Hart has in place, LaVonta Bentley has been off and on, but at Arizona State, Bentley turned it on.

More on how Bentley is doing:

We only had one prediction for an ASU win...

We had 2 close predictions.

@rward had CU -32 ASU -26 for 7 point difference
But the winner with 6 points difference is
@Buff Fan42 with CU 33 ASU 24 for 6 points

Congrats @Buff Fan42

Looking for 2 tickets that won’t require a 2nd mortgage.

Bush league act IMO. I'm pretty sure PT would be livid if an opposing star did the same in Folsom. I can think of a few past Sun Devils that would have ripped that watch and the arm with it off of SS for this stunt.

Colorado was able to get back on track with a win against ASU, and now the attention turns to this Friday's game with Stanford.

I highlight the notable topics discussed by Deion Sanders during Tuesday's media availability.

Is there an eligibility chart anywhere? With all of the transfers, the COVID year, etc., would love to know how many years some of these upperclassmen have left to play. Thanks

Winner this week was BuffFan42 with 9 correct picks! The next best pick was 6. He's moving up on the outside!

Every answer this week was Under. I think that may be the first time ever.

Pick results are first, then below is a list of where everyone stands with their correct weekly picks in parenthesis. This is how I will show it each week, instead of a separate list for weekly vs overall standings.

If you think I made a mistake let me know asap.

1) CU Points - 35.5 - Under (27)
2) ASU Points 26.5 - Under (24)
3) CU Passing Yds - 387.5 - Under (239)

9) Catch's & Tackles by Omarions - 11.5 - Under (8)
10) CU Time of Possession - 32.15 - Under (25.2)

This is nothing but a cheap shot and everyone is talking about SS going to student section. The running back from ASU Cam Skattebo needs to be suspended!!!

Depth, at least on D, has been stronger than I would have anticipated. We have been pretty banged up in the secondary, but have managed to find serviceable replacements every week. One thing I noticed last night was that we had the depth on D to bring in quite a few fresh players late in the game. Given our history of not playing well in the Tempe heat, this was probably a great strategy. ASU was really banged up late and they did not have an advantage over us with the heat like I remember in previous years. Not so much on O, but we are being forced to develop some depth on the O Line due to injuries.

Also, physically, we seemed to beat ASU up a bit late.

I really find it funny after all of the years of endless debate over recruiting star rankings, that 3 star corner Carter Stoutmire seems to have been given significantly more playing time than 5 star Cormani McClain. Maybe it's just because he works harder and / or is just more mature at this point.

Does Javon Antonio look a bit awkward to anyone else but me? God knows I appreciate his contribution last night and Prime was saying he is a great, hard working kid. He basically tripped over his own feet on the long reception on the final drive. He just looks sort of slow and clumsy to me.

Little basketball before we get back to football for the week! Check out my story on senior wing Luke O'Brien ⬇️
