Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah, both of the NFL network, discussed their early evals of our QB#2. He was measured at 6’1 1/4”, 198 lbs this spring. They complimented his arm abilities to both drive and layer his throws, field vision and pocket calmness. They thought he needed to work on his movement in the pocket, and that he should have thrown away a few more passes instead of taking sacks. These 2 are friends of Deion also. Worth a listen.

RIP JIm " Moose" Barrows - former Buff Skier from 60's

"Moose was a legendary Buffalo, remaining close to the program to his last days," as stated by Richard ROkos. Moose is maybe the most internationally known Buff ever, after falling in the 68 Olympics in Grenoble, France and becoming a legendary figure on ABC Wide World of Sports as part of their introductory piece evey weekend for many years, symbolizing "the agony of defeat" . There is only pride of accomplishment and perseverence for this great multi-discipline skier. He was a great Buffalo, sking in the mid-60's for the Buffs and cheering the team to a National title in Steamboat, his home town, last March. He died at 80 on July 3, 2024.

SP+ for teams after moving

Interesting article but it’s behind a pay wall. Breaks down how each time might do with the move based on their SP+ projections.

Oregon, UT, UU, UA, SMU all projected to do pretty well.

Most of us more fighting for a bowl and about the same issues as last year

One thing that floored me - CU the 13 years before the PAC averaged 6.0 wins per year. 13 years in the PAC 3.8 wins per year. That’s a rough 26 year run. It’s been a very very long time since we have been good. We are climbing a big hill. Need that bowl this year.


OT - I feel like I'm walking a health tightrope

Dear Supporters and Buff Friends,

I wanted to give you all an update on my cancer journey and share how things have been going lately.

Recently, I had my scans reviewed and faced some tough decisions about my treatment. They hit the pause button on my infusions and suggested I take a breather. So, I've been trying to listen to my body, and understand what it needs during this difficult time.

The anniversary of my diagnosis brings up a lot of emotions and fear. Fast forward to my appointment on June 24th, where I got some answers and a lot of confusing medical jargon. Apparently, pausing treatment could impact the clinical trial statistics.

A suggestion was made to administer a double dose every six weeks, but that’s not feasible as handling a single dose is already challenging. Due to the acquisition of Atrium Health by another company, continuing treatment with any changes would be nearly impossible. My insurance provider, UHC, would also have to determine if they will cover the $77,000 dollar cost every three weeks, which is doubtful.

On a positive note, my blood work is looking a bit better, likely due to the six-week break. I’ve had genome testing done and will soon know if there are still cancer cells circulating in my body. Dr. P thinks there might be.

Diane and I escaped to the mountains for a two-day break to celebrate a wedding anniversary that we weren’t certain would take place because of the advanced state of my chronic disease. A highlight of our trip was a personal tour of the Carlton Art Gallery by the owner, Toni, who gave us the back story on many of the works of art. We bonded over a captivating painting of a tenacious calf named Rosie. At her birth, she was unresponsive. Amazingly, the next morning she was very much alive and suckling her mother’s milk. Lesson learned…don’t let life’s curveballs keep you down. I pray that, like Rosie, I can do the same as I channel her resilient spirit.

My next infusion is scheduled for July 15th. Hopefully, I will have the results of the genome study by then.

Lately, I’ve been feeling grumpy, irritated and itchy post-infusion, something Diane pointed out. It’s a constant battle between quality and quantity of life.

I feel like I’m on a tightrope, but I remain hopeful and grateful for you, my personal cheering squad.

Thank you for standing by me through this journey. If you can spare any support, whether it’s a donation or just a good joke to lift my spirits, please do so. Click here

With all my love and gratitude, Craig Brown – Shoulder To Shoulder - (NCBuff)
