Time to find out who the next coach is. Need to get the new coach hired so he can start putting together his staff. RG get off your butt , and get this done.

If RG was in any other industry he’d be fired with cause months ago.

Line is UW by 31 pts.
Over under is 64.


CU - 17
Fuzzy Huskies - 45

Got the chance yesterday to talk with Quinn Perry for a bit not only about his season, but his background as a rugby player. For those who don't know, Perry played for several US youth national rugby teams before deciding to pursue football as his primary sport

A pretty cool and interesting path

Nothing came easy for Colorado as they lost 54-7 to the Washington Huskies.

Here's what interim head coach Mike Sanford said after the game.

Not sure if anyone wants to read this, but in case you do...

Awesome rivalry Saturday across CFB. I have the USC/UCLA game on, really enjoyed Baylor and TCU and Oklahoma is up 28-0 over OSU after the first quarter. For Colorado tonight is business as usual, another difficult matchup with the Huskies coming off their big win against Oregon.

Deion Smith operating at full capacity this week. Him and Alex Fontenot should be sharing the snaps, but in Darian Hagan fashion, he will run whoever is having the better day. "I try to get them [the RB group] in there and rotate him a little bit and then go with the hot hand."

I expect to see more action from Montana Lemonious-Craig this game. He only had three targets against USC due to difficult coverages on him.

Gonna be another long game, but what do you hope to see out of Colorado this evening?

I'm predicting Washington 42, Colorado 20. Craig has Washington 45, Colorado 13.

I Hate Washington! Sko Buffs!

1) CU Points - 17.5

The last I read he was having a bout with the flu and did not play in Grambling game.
Anyone know the situation with him at this time?

It is a D2 playoff game

Kind of a wacky college football schedule today. I have some interest in Wisky vs. the Corn this morning, and maybe Texas/Kansas, but most of the action I’m interested in happens this evening. Of course, the Buffs at 7:00. Could be brutal. Utah vs. Oregon should be a fantastic matchup, but it kicks off half way through the CU game. I’d like to see if Wyoming can give Boise some trouble, and CSU plays Air Force, all happening in the evening.

Thoughts?

is a great listen. Sanford is open, engaging and clearly loves coaching this team. Guy really loves CU-Boulder and has some interesting things to say about what it needs to do to get competitive. Too bad he got thrown into the deep end of the schedule without much on the roster.

I wish there was a way to keep him on staff in some capacity after the season. Regardless, I'll be rooting for him hard wherever he ends up.

If you took away future NFL contacts at other schools and the other Ivy vs Ivy games, you have to think the players in that game will have the highest average post college football career saleries of any game playd today.

I decided to put it on as one of my 7 games in this window I am watching.

This includes some current interims but 94 current HC's first year at their school was between 2018 to 2022. Coaches do not stay long by either their choice or by the schools.

Great to see that cheatin' SOB Sean Miller and his Xavier boys go down at home against the Indiana Hoosiers, 81-79. I have to say though, the dude can coach.
Also been watching Michigan State/Nova and neither team is ranked. Now that's different. It's strange not seeing Jay Wright on the bench for Nova and hope that new coach Kyle Neptune can keep it going. Always like Nova.

Let's see if the Buffs fare any better today. Tip off is in a few minutes, so post any comments, observations and questions here

Hello All,

Now that the Buff Football team is down to it's final two games for the 2022 season, I'd like to take a moment and get a couple of things off my chest. First, I have nothing but respect and appreciation for every player that chooses to sign a letter Of Intent to play Football at CU. I know these young men work hard 12 months a year. Nothing I write in this post is pointed directly at any specific player, for now. If and when CU is paying out significant money via NIL deals, this will quickly change. At that time I will consider those players making a living playing college football to be be professional athletes, thus open to the same type of analysis professional athletes receive from fans & the media. I can't think of a single Buff Football player that isn't in favor of using these, "prime years" to make money. Fair enough, welcome to the ,"other side of that coin". Full Disclosure : I have only heard, or read, what a few players think of NIL. Those I know about are in favor of a robust NIL presence at CU. I have not heard any player speak of the negative consequences such a presence MIGHT cause.

Second, CU Football will likely be awful next year ( 2023 ). It is beyond clear that the last 5 years of horrific recruiting has left CU with a barren cupboard. The Buffs have not established a go-to QB, RB, TE, or Offensive line. The Buffs do have some young talent at WR, but without a solid O-Line and an above average QB, it might be hard to hang-on to CU's talented group of young receivers. Sadly, CU's Defense might be worse off than their Offense. Every single position group on CU's defense needs a massive infusion of talent. Buff Defensive Backs appear to be only slightly below average. D-Line & Linebackers are among the weakest units in the PAC-12. These guys have had to adjust to multiple position coaches, new defensive schemes, and playing from behind in roughly 80% of their games over the past 2 years. Not an excuse, just a fact. Frankly, neither the O-line, QBs, D-Line, & LBs have the talent to be good in a G5 Conference in my opinion.

I know I have been boring everyone with these recruiting posts for roughly 3 years now. It is so abundantly clear that CU has a lack of competitive talent. On average this year, including the 1 OT win, CU is losing by a ten game average of 26 points per game. Yep, 26 points. Points forged 157. Points allowed 417. In an amazing display of awful coaching throughout CU's ranks, the Buffs have managed to avoid getting any better as the season moves forward. I can only imagine how discouraging it must be as a player to know your team is out manned every game. ADRG sat by and watched as every returning starter that had transfer talent left the Buffs last year. As some on this board have suggested, it's possible ADRG also thought the Buffs "MIGHT" get better through attrition. NO, No, no, no, no. 2021 Buff Football was really bad. Subtract the 6 best returning players from that team and convince me it's going to be better this year. Please.

If ever there was a time to clean house, this is it. CU tried the "baby steps" approach with HCMM. There isn't time to take small steps. ADRG also has to stop planning for failure and stop allowing his coaches to self-impose limitations. Oh no, what if the HC decides to move on ? Well Rick, put in place a nice, competitive contract, find a way to stress recruiting and go get the very best candidate CU can afford. Here is a free tip, any Head Coach that revives CU Football will be a hot candidate for other HC jobs. They should be. Try to plan for that and set aside some money in case you want to try and keep the guy. Nothing could have prepared CU for the Midnight fiasco. Forget that ever happened and go get the Buffs a guy that can recruit, coach, and identify the staff he can win with. And please, find a Head Coach that will tell the fan base what he expects from the University, his staff, recruits, players, and the fan base. Find a guy that can keep CU football alive most of the year and it will be easier to raise money. Any way we cut this cookie, we are starting from about as low as a program can get. I think ADRG knows the type of man he needs at CU's helm. Make it so Rick.

I posted this a few hours ago, shortly after the game ended, but in case you didn't come across it, here's a rundown of Colorado's loss to UMass today

The regents could block the Big Ten move, or do nothing​

The University of California Board of Regents is expected to finalize its position on UCLA’s planned departure to the Big Ten when it meets Thursday morning in San Francisco.

Probably.

Guessing along with the board is risky business, but all signs indicate the months-long review is nearing a conclusion.

The regents are scheduled to discuss UCLA’s move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten in the summer of 2024 during a closed session on the UCSF campus, then take action during an open session at 10:15 a.m., according to the agenda posted on the regents’ website.


The executive summary of the action item reads as follows:

“In the final months of 2022, UCLA will begin planning for its athletics programs in 2024, including recruitment of student-athletes and scheduling of competitions. Following the Board’s noticed open session discussion and to provide clarity on UCLA’s conference membership, the Board of Regents will take action on UCLA’s agreement to join the Big Ten in 2024. Recommendation language will be developed to reflect the Board’s consensus during its open session discussion.”

There are at least three potential outcomes:

— The board could block UCLA’s move using regental authority that was confirmed by general counsel Charlie Robinson during an August meeting.

— The regents could allow the move to proceed as planned but attach a penalty, or subsidy, to compensate Cal’s athletic department for a decline in Pac-12 revenue resulting from UCLA’s departure.


— The regents could, after months of bluster and discussion, wipe their hands of the matter and let the Bruins enter the Big Ten unencumbered.

One unknown, at least to the general public, is the degree to which California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who oversees the board, is willing to fight the move.

Any attempt to reverse UCLA’s decision could carry legal entanglements because of the Big Ten’s new media rights deal, which was announced in August and includes UCLA’s membership.

Also unclear is whether the regents will, in fact, make the ultimate decision.

It’s possible that the board declines to wield authority unilaterally and instead issues a recommendation to UCLA chancellor Gene Block.

Asked if the board would vote on the matter, a spokesperson for the regents offered the following statement:

“This (agenda) notice includes topics for potential action and discussion by the UC Regents, but does not require them to pursue said action or discussion if scheduling needs change or they elect not to do so.”

The regents also published a nine-page report on UCLA’s move that features important context:

— A survey of 600 UCLA athletes revealed that 35 percent said joining the Big Ten would be a good idea, seven percent said it would be a bad idea, 38 percent needed more information and 20 percent had no opinion.

Per the report:

“Respondents who thought the proposed move was a good idea believed additional revenues would support all sports teams and athletes and provide better competitive opportunities and national exposure.

“Respondents seeking more information wanted to know if or how additional revenue would support teams beyond football and basketball, along with plans to mitigate travel impacts and missed instruction.”

— The Bruins expect to spend approximately $10 million annually to meet the demands of life in the Big Ten. The expenses include chartered flights and increased nutritional and academic support.
