Fun read. He picks GT and it makes sense. In the end though we still get to claim a title and that works for me

Good interview to get to know Tyler Brown.

Morning, everyone. Is it a little early to be talking about the NCAA Tournament resume of a 9-6 team? Maybe. But with the loss to Cal, Colorado now has four losses to Quad Three or Quad Four teams. The Buffs will have plenty of time to recover, but just two months into the season, their path to the Big Dance is already a pretty treacherous one. That's a lot of bad losses with only so many opportunities for Quad One wins left

Has our DC been finalized? Is he in Boulder?

Happy New Year, everyone! It's been a little while -- I took some time off for the holidays -- but I'm your point person for CU-Cal basketball coverage tonight. The Bears might be the worst Power Five team in the country this season at 1-13, but we've seen the Buffs blow it against some inferior opponents this season

Starters for tonight

Simpson
Clifford
Hadley
da Silva
Lovering

Follow along and comment, if you're not watching the CFP/aren't too many beers deep

Any news on this? I think it might be a long shot, but maybe? You know. The old, "So you're telling me there's a chance!" take.

Saw there's already been a thread discussing this -- and apologies on the delay...Nikki is on vacation and I was out and about as the news broke -- but here's a story on Cole Becker's entry into the transfer portal He was one of the players I thought was absolutely worth keeping around if that's what Deion wanted, but after Mata's commitment last week, it seemed like the writing was on the wall

This one hurts.

One of our few bright spots last year.

Was unable to watch. Glad to see KJ come through in clutch. I expected him to against ASU, and he did not. He's our one player who can really take over a game, if needed. Maybe Da Silva. Do you think this team has what it takes to make a run and possibly make it to tourney? Disappointed in Wright and Gabbidon so far. Does not look like they can elevate their games to P12 level

Baaaahaha!

We all agree Pedo State should have been burned to the ground, right?
GO UTES!

Yay?...or nay?

Kid is balling out. He could sure use some help.

Went to the grocery store today in Atlanta. I wasn't there more than 20 minutes and 2 folks commented on my hat / Coach Prime. Know it's small and DS was a big deal in ATL when he played for Falcons and Braves, but still nice to see some recognition. If he can show improvement on the field and his unique style doesn't clash too much with CU...sky is the limit for him and the Buffs IMO.

Not sure if they have guys out training for the draft or what, but he's getting both a shot to play and the ball. Talented player and looks to be one of their main targets next season.

Arias has experienced a lot of adversity throughout his life. He was always a very kind and humble person. Arias switched to special teams about midway through the season significantly limiting his targets, but his contributions on the special teams unit had NFL scouts putting a pin in his name. I spoke with assistant WR coach Brandon Gibson during the season about Arias' shot at going pro and he said he could really capitalize on special teams. Good luck to him!

Jim Harbaugh has done an absolutely spectacular job with the Michigan Wolverines the past two seasons, humiliating the Ohio State Buckeyes in back-to-back seasons and guiding the Wolverines to back-to-back appearances in the College Football Playoff. This year, he became the third Big Ten Coach of the Year in Michigan football history.

At the end of last season, he briefly flirted with the Minnesota Vikings’ head coaching position, but decided to return to Michigan. News broke on Sunday afternoon that Harbaugh is officially being courted by the Denver Broncos, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. Denver has interest in speaking with him about their head coaching position, which is currently open after they fired first year head coach Nathaniel Hackett six days ago.

That’s huge news and it’ll surely be closely monitored by Michigan Wolverines’ fans across the country. There’s no question that losing Harbaugh would not only be a devastating blow to the Wolverines’ program, but to the game of college football as a whole. We’ll have to wait and see what happens, because Harbaugh has always had a very strong fascination with the NFL and the lure of trying to win a Super Bowl.

The Broncos are looking for a proven commodity as their head football coach and Harbaugh certainly fits the criteria. He’s proven over the years that he can win at an elite level both in college and the National Football League.

When the coach is talking about pushing the guys past what they are comfortable with. And Brewster is shoving guys yelling “MF’er”. There are dudes who look at him like they want to fight. That is what we want to see.
