Interesting perspective

Just had a business meeting with a guy I’ve known and respect for 25 years as a friend and client and a newer acquaintance who I also respect. My friend is a big Michigan booster and the other is an AD for a major P5 power.
We talked business then quantum physics and the power of the mind to create the life you want which we all believe in. This led to Sanders.
They asked how I felt and I said lucky to have the guy and that I admire and respect his success but his antics drive me nuts.

They both invited me to look at it from the power of the mind perspective. As they said no one is perfect and dumb stuff comes out of all of our mouths, especially when we are successful and others see it as boasting. It’s not boasting when you are just stating the obvious to you which is that of course you are successful and there are no limits because you don’t impose any. Calling others out for not getting that isn’t mean you genuinely don’t understand why they choose not to have everything they want because the only reason they don’t is their own fault for not making it so.

Their answer was of course he could potentially have handled the kids leaving better in choice of words but his life, as we all know, has been amazing. Doesn’t drink, doesn’t swear, embraces his own faith without pushing it on others, lives a mindful life and understands the power of the mind to make your life whatever you want. When you look beyond the goofiness that comes out of all our mouths occasionally it really is remarkable.

Guy is going to make mistakes and is going to come off as arrogant but no more so than anyone who is successful and gets it. He isn’t bragging. He is simply saying this is how it is and what I expect of me and anyone I work with or coach because why settle for mediocre.

It really resonated with me as I’ve been accused of a lot of the same stuff and have never cared because those who choose to be mediocre boggle my mind.

Sometimes you need those you respect who have no horse in the game to hold up that mirror.

Lots to chew on, and I’m sure he’ll say something that drives me nuts again but we are very lucky to have the guy. Pretty extraordinary human. Hope he finds a way to get us 6 wins this year. We would be off to the races at that point.

Cool morning conversation and new perspective

Walk-on scholarships?

So isn’t the traditional timing to award any scholarships to walk-ons, at the conclusion of fall camp? And usually done with some fanfare, in front of the team. Haven’t heard if any have been awarded. I thought Charlie Offerdahl and Michael Harrison might potentially be in line to get scholarships. Michael is currently the starter at TE. Anybody have any insight?

PHOTOS: Gameday images of Colorado's victory over TCU

TCU - Final Score Prediction Thread

Everyone each week we will have a winner, The winner is the one who is closest total point to actual score. So example Prediction TCU-38 CU-21, Actual TCU 41- CU 35. So off by 3 points on TCU and 14 points on CU so total points for this prediction would be 17 points. So of course lowest point total wins. A tie goes to the closest to the CU score.

Over Under this week - 60 points
Spread - 21 Points

Guess away!

Deion Sanders' Buffs are here: A new era starts in record-setting fashion

Here's a feature story I wrote on the Buffs' historic game vs. TCU 🦬 I was already very excited for the season, but after seeing what the Buffs did yesterday, I'm all in on this team.

FSU vs lsu

There is the next level in athletes and some say Oregon and USC are even more loaded. Win some games and we could be looking at these kinds of kids in 2024 and 2025. Those are linemen both sides of the ball and why the guys who left saw the writing on the wall and moved on. Good for Roddick for being wanted by FSU. Have to admit I am still shocked.

Expect this game to be a shootout before it’s over

Random Thoughts...

1. Third happiest man in the country besides Deion and Rick George is Brett Yormark. He just won the Conference Commissioner lottery.

2. The PAC 12 is the greatest show on turf ...in it's final year. George Kliavkoff couldn't figure out a way to keep this deal together? Moron. That guy couldn't get a job running a Chuck E Cheese at this point.

3. Deion Sanders stock is skyrocketing. If he goes 3-0...

4. ...The CU Buffs will become the hottest ticket in the state. Anybody gonna watch the Broncos struggle to score 17 points every Sunday? Not me.

Five more Buffs who deserve a share of the spotlight from the win vs. TCU

Of course Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and Dylan Edwards went OFF on Saturday, other Buffs also made an impact on Saturday's W vs. TCU.

Here are the five I highlighted from the matchup:
