HEADS UP: I will be traveling for the next week to see a long-time HS Buddy in Vermont and my son in Portland Maine. It may cause some spottiness in my publishing the NewsStand.

Wondering why nothing has been posted about it. Lots of content other places and I know media was allowed to watch. What happened?

Owens is helping Coach Prime especially with Travis Hunter and some of the other talented receivers.

"Everyone's gonna eat. Everyone.”

Buffs' defensive front has stepped up collectively this fall camp and DEs Nick Willliams is hoping to get them in peak condition:

Numbers from Sports TV ratings

Maine transfer OLB Khairi Manns met with the media today. He's coming along well, but the biggest element he's getting acclimated to now is the elevation. ⬇️

The WCC is Gonzaga's conference which now without BYU (34,390 students) is totally made up of small (10,000 or less students) religious affiliated schools on the west coast. None of the schools have a scholarship football programs.

The South Florida transfer spoke after practice today. Expecting him to be one of the more integral pieces on the Buffs' offense this season

Anybody watch his 58 on Sunday? Best round of Golf I've ever seen, had one birdie lip out or could have been a 57.

Lots of content on the way, but here are the pressers with Coach Prime, Shedeur and Shilo and Travis Hunter.

WR coach Brett Bartolone is "living the frickin dream" with a variety of talent and depth in his room.

More on how the WRs are coming along:

Coach Prime has boasted about the talent that is Dylan Edwards. I caught up with him to discuss his game and more.

More on his progress this fall camp:

One of the Buffs' most exciting groups is coming together well, and Monday wide receivers coach Brett Bartolone and receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. detailed their progress and more entering Week 3 of fall training camp at Colorado.

And the Sooners begin to schedule like an SEC team should

The third and sometimes forgotten member of the Sanders clan at CU spoke today at media day. Some interesting stuff from the graduate student safety, including this...

“This group of guys we’ve got right now, we’ve got some real dogs,” he said. “If we gel together – and we’re starting to gel together right now – it’s definitely something special. We bring an intensity that I don’t think has been seen before here.”

I'd question that last part when talking about a program with a national title and a nearly decade-long run of dominance, but you have to love the confidence

This was a glaring weakness in the Spring game, but we haven't heard a peep since?

These guys can be difference makers in the win/loss column.

Vassett is a stud, with all the speed and athleticism, coverage shoudn't be an issue on kickoffs, or punts.

That leaves the elephant in the room. Do we have a legitimate place kicker?

Go Buffs!

Sorry... Dotson


Kid just rambled for a nice 30 yard TD run for the Chargers. I guess he has an outside chance of playing in the League.

Anyone have any info on him? I see where he is a Buff.

Here is the schedule for 8/18 and 8/19

Reminder the base of this schedule is from Max Prep, I attempted to verify on the schools websites but only about 60% have their schedule on their sites, so if there is a game you want to see I would call the home team schools to verify. The second team listed is considered the home team even if playing in a neutral field.

Friday, August 18
6:00 PM
Monarch vs Boulder - Recht Field
Westminster vs Denver East - All City Stadium

7:00 PM
Taylorsville, UT vs Chatfield - Jeffco Stadium
Pueblo West vs Grand Junction - Stocker Stadium
Ralston Valley vs Mountain Vista - Halftime Help Stadium
Basalt @ Summit
Rangely @ Altamont, UT


Saturday, August 19
1:00 PM
North Fork @ Ignacio
7:00 PM
Arickaree @ Deer Trail

Colorado linebackers coach Andre' Hart sees the potential of his group, and if Colorado were to go to battle right now, Marvin Ham II would have a starting role.

Demouy Kennedy is assimilating well, LaVonta Bentley and Brendan Gant is waiting to be cleared to practice.
