One thing ive noticed since p-12 play has started is HCTB may actually prove that an old dog can learn new tricks. Initially because of injuries and hopefully now due to results, he has greatly shortened the bench. This has driven me crazy for years, the constant line-change metality that built nothing but mediocrity. I may be reading too much into it but its shaking out that the top 6 or 7 guys are getting PT and that is fantastic! When the top 7 are a healthy disilva, simpson, williams, lambkin, obrien, hadley and either hammond or ruffin we will have something. When we start dipping deeper we struggle because the rest of the guys need time to develop or simply dont have what it takes. That top 8 though can play with anybody as they will show when AZ comes to town (if all are healthy). Not sure if i want Hammond or Ruffin to be #7 but hopefully 1 of the two can take the 7th spot with authority in the next few weeks while the other assumes a seat on the bench.

HCTB has always been a play 9 or 10 guys type of coach which IMO kills any chance for chemistry and rythm to get developed. TO boot, we have at least 3 NBA guys in that group and there are only a few teams in America that can say that. I think HCTB knows his time is now, And finally he's throwing the chips to the middle of the table. Let the top 7 guys play, get Disilva fully healthy and please keep the rest of the group healthy and lets see what developes. THis team has a chance to do something so the time for being a players coach is not now.

NIce to see the WBB tteam stepping up too. THe UCLA game was disappointing, and exposed some real rebounding issues and maybe a player or two short to make real noise but you have to love the heart and fearlessness of that team. Gotta Love what HCJRP has done and they can certianly make noise at the ladies dance from the sheer effort they put forth every night.

Also, dont sleep on the ski team. The momentum is building and the team has all the parts needed for a skiing Natty championship in MArch on their home snow in Steamboat. Need to stay healthy and get the international members back to the USofA and we can and should re-establish ski dominance in Boulder.

Loved listening to him on Saturday’s and Sunday’s.

Phillips asked if 40 bowl games can survive “probably not. We need to watch that …. It could damage CFB”. The pundits have said this for several years. There are going to be less bowls each year for a few years. Where do we end up? When does it start?

Caparelli who makes his living off bowls “history says it’s the right number”. I’m going to bet Phillips and Sankey win this one

More public acknowledgement that TP and early recruiting are going to get tweaked and moved.

The rest is just a fun read but those two are notable as once again the powers that he are sending signals.

On ESPN right now. Man, listening to Scott Drew in the huddle is pretty cool. This guy is as good as a coach as there is out there. The players were locked-in when he was talking to them. UT is taking to them a bit early up 31-25 with about 10m to go in the first half. Texas has some dam good talent too. Also, the Moody Center in Austin is an amazing facility I and hope to catch a game or concert there asap. Any of you Austin guys been seen this place?

Buffs looking for the home sweep of the Oregon schools today against Oregon State. CU will have to play this one without J'Vonne Hadley, who was banged up against Oregon and will sit today, will get an update from Tad postgame.

Starters for CU:
KJ Simpson
Cody Williams
Luke O'Brien
Tristan da Silva
Eddie Lampkin Jr.

For Oregon State:
Jordan Pope (leading scorer: 17.4 PPG)
Dexter Akanno
Justin Rochelin
Thomas Ndong
Tyler Bilodeau

I'm not shocked, but that does help me realize why we didn't get some of these big names in the portal. Many of them hit the portal to go to a specific team. Jayden Proctor hit the portal to go to Iowa. Was never going anywhere else. Lance Heard hit the portal to go to Tennessee. He was never going anywhere else. Cayden Green hit the portal to go to Missouri. He was never going anywhere else. I think the Washington players hit the portal to follow DeBoer to Alabama.

I think we got who we could get. I think we did well to get who we got without tampering (which apparently isn't really a rule).

First top 5 matchup, men's or women's, in CU Events Center history tonight as UCLA comes to town to take on the Buffs. Colorado currently the only unbeaten team in Pac-12 play, so looking to cement their place at the top of the league tonight. Sara-Rose Smith still out with a concussion, everyone else ready to go for the Buffs.

Regular starters for JR Payne:
Jaylyn Sherrod
Maddie Nolan
Frida Formann
Quay Miller
Aaronette Vonleh

For UCLA:
Kiki Rice (12.9p, 5.4r, 5.9a)
Londynn Jones (13.3p)
Charisma Osborne (14.1p, 5.3r, 4.5a)
Angela Dugalic (8.8p, 6.8r)
Lauren Betts (15.6p, 8.6r)

Apparently he’s the OC, Jason Phillips moved to WR coach and Bartolome TE

wow

Hey everyone! Buffs in a near must-win, or as close as you can get on January 18, against Pac-12 leading Oregon. Harrison Carrington isn't dressed for the Buffs but appears everyone else is healthy and ready to go. Ducks look like they're getting Nate Bittle (wrist, hasn't skated since Nov. 17) back, after they got N'Faly Dante back last weekend.

Starters for the Buffs:
KJ Simpson
J'Vonne Hadley
Cody Williams
Tristan da Silva
Eddie Lampkin Jr.

For Oregon:
Jackson Shelstead (leading scorer: 14.6 PPG)
Brennan Rigsby
Jermaine Couisnard
Kwame Evans Jr.
N'Faly Dante

A report that Herman Smith “committed” from the TP. Safety from Idaho State that played at JSU under Prime.

Noticed that Shedeur and Shilo were not visible in the team meeting. Now seeing vids everywhere that they were in Paris as part of the LV fashion show. I guess the way they are bringing in LV is by literally bringing in the LV.

Just not the best look when two of the best players on the team (coach's sons) are not there when the rest of the team is required to be so they can do a fashion show in Paris. Just not good leadership when this team is trying to preach doing everything the "right way."
