This is something new that Rivals tried out last week with great success, where they have the national staff doing a live "podcast" -- for lack of a better term -- during a big national game. Colorado-Nebraska is one of the two games being featured this week. Should be fun to follow along with. More info here:

Wanted to get this out since it is a short week, but haven't yet compiled the week one picks (Sorry I was partying too much). I'll get it out later today.

Several four-star prospects have taken to social media today to announce upcoming visits with the Buffs. Here's a look at the notables who have done so so far today.

My sister in law who is part of my season tickets . Thought she was buying an extra CSU ticket was sold a USC ticket. Does anybody have an extra CSU ticket or would be willing to trade. We all graduated in 1989 and have been season ticket holders since then. Appreciate any help

Anticipation couldn't be higher for the Buffs' home opener against Nebraska, and here five storylines to watch heading into Saturday ⬇️

Do you see any chance the Buffs come out flat or overconfident? I don’t see it. I don’t think Nebraska can score enough points, even against our questionable defense. I also don’t see them being able to shut us down. I think Shedeur and the WRs will easily find the holes in the zone and I think we run it better

I don't care about any other game this year, we will win 5-6 more and who ever they are against I could care less. Love to beat USC finally but all that matters not without this win!

Sorry just so fired up for Sat!

There is a report (or graphic) out there today that 2025 five-star QB Bryce Underwood will be at Colorado this weekend for the Nebraska game.

After checking with two sources, that is not the case as far as I understand. Underwood will be at Colorado for the USC game though on Sept. 30 as Michigan and LSU are among the favorites but the Buffs could move up very quickly if that visit goes well.

- national media coverage like we haven’t seen in 20 years
- pundits picking CU
- local radio I am told also talking positively about us
- sold out stadium
- hype off the charts

Normal note: The base for the schedule is from MaxPrep, I did attempt to verify with the schools sites, but was only able to do so for 60% of the games. Call the schools or check their sites again if there is a game you want to go to.

Colorado State and USC have sold out, bringing the total number of complete sellouts this season to four with Nebraska and Stanford as well.

It’s the 7th time in CU history that Colorado has completely sold out four or more games and the first time since the 1996 season.

Four-star 2024 athlete Kamron Mikell will be one of the official visitors on campus for the Buffs this weekend. The Georgia native previously visited Boulder during the spring, and he quickly set up his official visit for a return to Colorado. That will happen this weekend, and the Buffs continue to sit in good position with the versatile two-way athlete.

"Just really enjoyed it last time and wanted to come back," he said. "I’m just ready to have a good time and watch them progress to be a good team."

Five players to watch, key matchups and more.

Here are all the details on the Colorado-Nebraska matchup:

What about these 2 running backs? From previous comments, these are larger backs and may be useful particularly against strong defenses like NU. Anybody know of the timeline when we may see these guys?

Any updates on uniform selection for this wknd

Morning. I’m flying back to Colorado this evening and will look at my Venmo on the plane. Just a reminder. If you haven’t paid yet it’s 25.00 and you can just venmo me. Please include your screen name in the notes if possible. Just makes it easier for me.
If you have paid let me know and I’ll try to match it up. @brian-midtbo

Great to see both of them receive this promotion. They've both been dedicated members of Boyle's staff for a very long-time. Bill Cartun has been with MBB since 2010 and Zach Ruebesam was a student manager from 2012-2016 and is entering his third season with the Buffs staff.

Per the release: The NCAA voted in January to increase the number of allowable coaches in men’s and women’s basketball from three to five. The updated rule allows for two more coaches to engage in coaching activities and provide skill instruction on the court. The additions are still not allowed to recruit off campus as that number remains at four with the head coach and three assistants.

Coach Cartun and coach Ruebesam will maintain the bulk of their current duties with the program, but the change allows them to be active with the players in a coaching role.

“It never ceases to amaze me how long it takes for the NCAA to recognize situations like this and how long it takes them to react and do the right thing,” Boyle said. “This is an easy rule change; doesn’t cost any more money. Their titles change and their responsibilities might change a little bit but it makes our players better, and it helps our coaches and their professional development.”

2.5 point favorite..against kNu
Big swing...
