I woke to early on vacation here in the Philippines, so I decided to look at how many tickets, and what the prices are like on the secondary market for the N home opener. There’s thousands of tickets from 180-2,200 in price. CU wants to play big time college football this kind of shit can’t continue to happen! I understand most of us could sell this game, and pay for the entire season worth of tickets and more, but if it’s 30% red on Sept. 9 that’s just pathetic!

TCU at number five. That's good right?

I just scanned the current roster and not a surprise to most on this board, we have 12 OL (2 freshmen) and 5 (yes 5) DL. Its not surprising that our worst 2 positions for many of the most recent years also have the fewest numbers as most the prior guys are gone and talent on the DL is hard to find. None of the OLB seem to have the size required for a DE role but im not close enough to the roster or familiar enough with the players to know. Obviously those numbers have to change prior to fall camp right? You cant even run a 2 deep with those numbers on the DL and the OL is 3 injuries away from not having a 2-deep not to mention a scout team? We could get 3 OL guys dinged up in the first week.

Does anyone have inside intel on the plan for this? Can one of the moderators ask a coach about this lack of depth and how they intend to address it? Does anyone know if the transfer portal is still open and for how long

Four-star 2024 point guard Trent Perry took a visit to Boulder last September and Colorado’s coaching staff has remained one of Perry’s close contacts since then.

The MWC and the Big 12 have for at least 5 years had an alliance were they use the same group of officials. Looks like they have added the AAC (kind if interesting with the Big 12 adding three former members) and the D1AA Southland.

Prior to Deion Sanders' hiring at Colorado, nine other head coaches over the past 30 years went directly from the FCS to the Power Five. How those other coaches did making that transition is potentially instructive when looking at how Sanders might do in Boulder

As an information geek this hurts. This could affect information that I have provided in the past.

GK and the merry men might be hard at work luring away a non watched team in a market that could care less about college football to masterfully backfill USC and get that reported 70mm a school from Apple.

Or maybe they are headed to the BIG X 😂😂😂😂. Either way no movement can possibly happen in the next 7 years or so I’m told so maybe it’s a head take.

I love this stuff

Inspiration From #CoachPrime (@Deion Sanders)
Some people love him, and some people hate him…He certainly has a high social messaging profile. He writes a lot of uplifting messages. I recently read one of his twitter messages that struck home to me.
He tweeted, “Why do the majority of us focus on what we don't have instead of what we have? What we have is oftentimes what we need & what we want is oftentimes the catalyst of causing u to lose your focus. Don't allow a want to cause u to forfeit what u already have.”
Recently I have been feeling out of control about almost everything in my life…my cancer treatment, my extreme fatigue and my effort to get my new business up and running. Coach Prime’s tweet helped me refocus on what is important in my life. I have a wonderful wife who loves and supports me in any way she can. I have many friends, met and unmet who pray and support me and offer donations as they can. In my time of need, God lifts me up and restores my spirit.
Please say a prayer for my continued healing in body and spirit. To donate an amount, no matter how small, will help cover the medical expenses not paid by my insurance. Please click the link:
Blessings to all!

New coaching staff getting it done at Stanford on the recruiting trail.

18 kids in two weeks and six 4 star kids, including an Elite QB.

Colorado TE target Kylan Fox came to Los Angeles this weekend instead of taking his previously planned visit to Boulder. I talked to him at the OT7 passing tournament, and he said he simply didn’t want to worry about recruiting this weekend and wanted to be a high school kid with his friends.

It’s not a totally bad sign for the Buffs, but he is set to take an OV to Florida State next week still. He tells me he plans on making an official visit to CU for the Colorado State game.

His plan is still to announce a commitment in July, so we’ll see what happens. I don’t believe he’ll be announcing in favor of CU as it stands now but I do get the sense he is serious about taking that visit to Colorado during the season.

The U19 team coached by Boyle and featuring Buffs freshman Cody Williams went 5-2 in the tournament, losing to France and Turkey

The roster has faced critiques that it didn't feature some of the best players who could have joined it. After breaking it down a bit, it's a hard point to argue against
