I usually wear some sort of Buff gear. I recently had some sinus surgery and my doctors saw my Ralphie cap with my clothes during Pre-Op. They instantly commented positively about Coach Prime. Strangers that I pass on the street or in a restaurant act the same way. It's so great to be a Buff right now!!

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

Can't make the game Sunday I have a 60th birthday party to go to...
I'm pretty sure they'll be plenty of seats but ours are pretty dang good.
I believe I can transfer electronically so just let me know 1st come 1st serve

There are bowl games happening already. Sitting with 4 buddies. Two played ball. Not one of us knew. Lol

How many kids are going to portal out of a free education?

Who knows where Sanders and Colorado will be in 2024...dominating the Pac-10 perhaps? Wonder how George Kliavkoff will rally the rest of the Pac-12(10) remaining members?

Man, this dude does not like Colorado. It's not like he said anything really untrue in his facts, but his opinion is simply hatred. The hardest P5 rebuild? Really? A harder build than Kansas, or Iowa State, or Northwestern, or Viginia Tech? Come on brother. This isn't a tough rebuild. The University has made changes to how it supports the football team. Yes, the past 17 years was difficult because the University leadership didn't support it. But it just took the purse strings to open and a little transfer credit update and BOOM! Look what's happening! It's only been a week!

It's easy to recruit to Colorado. It's a University with a strong history of success, including a National Championship, Conference Championship, Heisman Trophy winner, etc. Colorado has top notch facilities, a great fan base, and one of the most beautiful campuses in the country.

Deion Sanders and his staff are making it VERY clear they want him:

"They’ve made it clear that I’m their top priority," Coleman said.

North Alabama and Colorado have never played each other, but after crushing CSU by 28-points last week, the Buffs are looking to take a similar approach against tonight's unfamiliar opponent.

#16 UCLA travels to Baltimore to face the #20 Terps, tip @7 pm on FS1.
I want to see how the Bruins are playing right now and this will be a tough test on the road against a veru good Marlyland team.

were to have moved along from this world sooner... could they have landed CP?

They will play defending champs Ferris State in McKinney, Texas (McKinney ISD Stadium) next Saturday at 11:00 AM on ESPNU

Good stuff:
LAS VEGAS — Last week, commissioner George Kliavkoff indicated the Pac-12’s ongoing, all-important media rights negotiations would not be resolved until early in 2023.

On Wednesday, he offered an explanation for the timing.

Speaking at a college athletics forum hosted by the Sports Business Journal, Kliavkoff said the conference is waiting for resolution on UCLA’s planned move to the Big Ten.

The University of California Board of Regents was expected to decide whether to approve or rescind the move last month. Instead, the regents pushed back their decision to Dec. 14.


Kliavkoff said it wouldn’t make sense to finalize a media rights deal without knowing if the Bruins will be allowed to proceed with their departure in the summer of 2024.

If UCLA remains in the Pac-12, the league’s valuation would increase substantially by creating access to the Los Angeles media market for interested network partners.

Once the regents issue a decision next week, the holiday season will make finalizing a media deal impossible.

“The media (business) takes the second half of December off,” Kliavkoff said.

There has been no change to the process, he added. Once a media rights deal is reached with the networks, the conference will ask its schools to sign a grant-of-rights agreement. Then comes a decision on expansion.


“There’s no rush, and no need for a rush,” Kliavkoff said. “We are the last Power Five conference with our rights available for the next eight years.”

Kliavkoff also suggested that by waiting, the conference was able to add a football coach before consummating the media rights deal: Deion Sanders, the sports icon, was hired by Colorado last weekend and generated instant attention for the CU program.

“He absolutely adds value (for the conference),” Kliavkoff said.

The good, the bad, the past and the future:
