The South Florida transfer spoke after practice today. Expecting him to be one of the more integral pieces on the Buffs' offense this season

Anybody watch his 58 on Sunday? Best round of Golf I've ever seen, had one birdie lip out or could have been a 57.

Lots of content on the way, but here are the pressers with Coach Prime, Shedeur and Shilo and Travis Hunter.

The third and sometimes forgotten member of the Sanders clan at CU spoke today at media day. Some interesting stuff from the graduate student safety, including this...

“This group of guys we’ve got right now, we’ve got some real dogs,” he said. “If we gel together – and we’re starting to gel together right now – it’s definitely something special. We bring an intensity that I don’t think has been seen before here.”

I'd question that last part when talking about a program with a national title and a nearly decade-long run of dominance, but you have to love the confidence

This was a glaring weakness in the Spring game, but we haven't heard a peep since?

These guys can be difference makers in the win/loss column.

Vassett is a stud, with all the speed and athleticism, coverage shoudn't be an issue on kickoffs, or punts.

That leaves the elephant in the room. Do we have a legitimate place kicker?

Go Buffs!

Sorry... Dotson


Kid just rambled for a nice 30 yard TD run for the Chargers. I guess he has an outside chance of playing in the League.

Anyone have any info on him? I see where he is a Buff.

Here is the schedule for 8/18 and 8/19

Reminder the base of this schedule is from Max Prep, I attempted to verify on the schools websites but only about 60% have their schedule on their sites, so if there is a game you want to see I would call the home team schools to verify. The second team listed is considered the home team even if playing in a neutral field.

Friday, August 18
6:00 PM
Monarch vs Boulder - Recht Field
Westminster vs Denver East - All City Stadium

7:00 PM
Taylorsville, UT vs Chatfield - Jeffco Stadium
Pueblo West vs Grand Junction - Stocker Stadium
Ralston Valley vs Mountain Vista - Halftime Help Stadium
Basalt @ Summit
Rangely @ Altamont, UT


Saturday, August 19
1:00 PM
North Fork @ Ignacio
7:00 PM
Arickaree @ Deer Trail

Colorado linebackers coach Andre' Hart sees the potential of his group, and if Colorado were to go to battle right now, Marvin Ham II would have a starting role.

Demouy Kennedy is assimilating well, LaVonta Bentley and Brendan Gant is waiting to be cleared to practice.

Another fun football Friday in the books and Coach Prime covered many topics. Offense, defense, special teams, oh my! Here were my five takeaways from today:

HC Jesse Mahoney: "I think part of me is sad because we will enjoy your time, Pac 12. Part of me is really excited because the Big 12 is a great conference, and it's going to be something new and interesting for us as well. Big 12 was the number one RPI conference last year and have the national champion come out of it. So it's gonna be it's not like it's a step down in any way. It's it's gonna be great volleyball, great competition. And then, you know, I think we have traditionally recruited West of us and I think we can continue to do that as a good as an opportunity I think to to reach into Texas and kind of the Midwest a little bit more. So looking forward to that as well.

Taylor Simpson (Jr., Setter): I would say as someone who grew up in Southern California, the Pac-12 was all I knew growing up I didn't really even think like there were other conferences so that was always the goal for me, I think now going to be a junior and then once we enter the Big 12 I'll be a senior, I'm honestly really excited to finally see some new places. We've been to these places on the west coast a few times, I think from a recruiting perspective, and we've talked about it with Jesse, and our preseason. We're still going to try and play on the west coast as much as possible. So it's a good chunk of our teams from there. But I think a lot of us are actually super excited to see different parts of the nation.

Maya Tabron (Sr., Outside Hitter): I'd second all of that. I think growing up like Taylor said Pac-12 was a conference that I wanted to play in. That playing close to home was really cool because you get to the games, especially Stanford's super close to my home. But I don't necessarily think that changing a conference now if I were a freshman or senior high school right now that I will change my decision. I still think it's amazing school and I would just love the opportunity just to play wherever I can.

Jade Babcock-Chi (Grad, M): I only looked at Pac-12 schools honestly like for soccer. I think that the Pac-12 is one best conferences to be in and I was really adamant that I want to play the Pac-12. I'm really glad that I got to and I only went to the other a few other schools outside impactful but I think it'll definitely be different. Now with all the readjustment conferences, but from my personal experience, like I was really looking forward to playing Pac-12 And I'm still really excited that I'm part of the Pac-12.

Amaya Gonzalez (5th-year, M): Going to college for one thing was just a big deal and was the main goal for me and being able to do that through soccer was a big deal. I originally didn't plan to leave California and gotta say, once I took my visit here at CU, I loved it and it was no hesitation about it. And I think being able to compete in the Pac-12 was just another bonus another benefit to my experience in college.

Not often do you see a former NFL head coach and coordinator working as an quality control analyst for a collegiate program, but for Pat Shurmur, Colorado was the right fit.
