Just keeps winning

1. CU will need to spy their qb. He wants to run. He might get a couple but we have to minimize his effectiveness. I can see DBs left 1v1 tons more this week.
2. I expect them to spread out their front 7 to mitigate our short pass game. This opens up inside runs. We will see if our OL can be effective.
3. Our C and RG didn't play well. Need better there.
4. I'm not sure their secondary can handle Horn, Weaver, Hunter, Edward's et al. The intermediate and deep game could be attractive.
5. They aren't all that scary on O as a whole, but I do think they will want to hold the ball alot, keeping our O off the field. TCU demonstrated they wanted no part of the CU O on their (TCU) last drive.
6. I don't see the shootout we saw last week. Our kids will be pumped to play and we now know Sanders knows how to motivate and push the right buttons.

Just some random things after watching the games.

Scary rumor i'm hearing

Is this continuing under Prime? Always thought it was cool.

Shedeur Sanders, Taijh Alston and Xavier Weaver discuss how personal this game was and coming out with the win.

Apologies, Coach Prime's presser is still uploading 🙃

It’s game day and what a glorious morning in Boulder. Sun coming up. Perfect temps and a win is in the air.

Hitting Spruce up here in North Boulder for coffee and Burrito then off to Folsom. Gotta check out the Big Noon festivities around 7:30 and all the madness. Going to be a great day.
How is everyone else getting their pre game going?

Go Buffs. Let’s shuck some corn

Playing in front of Folsom Field’s largest crowd (53,241), quarterback Shedeur Sanders eventually found his rhythm while the defense applied pressure to send Nebraska packing and giving the Buffs their second victory, 36-14.

More on the game:

If we did not give up that last touchdown it would have been the worst beatdown of NU ever!

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.

What games are you all attending this season?
