So odd. Must have a better offer somewhere else

will play Rice. Rice is the 5th seed in that region.

I know it is on ESPN+, but might be on another school related stream.

The game is in Waco as Baylor is the 4th seed in that region.

Stole this not mine..I didn't hear broadcast


I’ve been listening to the 850 KOA Sports Zoo with Dave Logan and Alfred Williams, and Dave just said a little birdie told him Prime Time will be the new coach. Alfred then said “as a coach who’s coaching in the state championship game tomorrow with players who will be playing at the next level, I’m sure you do have a little birdie!” Dave then said “If Vegas had odds I would put $1k of my own money that Deion!” I’m not one to circulate hype or rumors, however, I feel this group deserves to know what 2 CU legends just said on the radio today. 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Tad Boyle didn't need much time to think about it Thursday night, saying after the Buffaloes' 60-59 loss to Arizona State that it was one of the “top-five disappointing losses in my 13 years in Colorado."

I really hate this. Like, really bad.

HC Tad Boyle elaborates on the tough loss. "Top-five disappointing losses in my 13 years in Colorado."

KJ Simpson discusses his performance and wanted to take ownership for the loss. Jalen Gabbidon talks about how the game got away from them.

Tad Boyle was pretty open with us after the game while addressing how and why Colorado lost to Arizona State. We've got a full transcript of his comments

@Adam Gorney provides his thoughts on Sanders’ potential at Colorado. I agree South Florida would be a more reasonable route with his relevancy in that area.

Saving Colorado is the ultimate challenge in CFB, but I think Sanders is up for this challenge because 1) it’s a good opportunity for him to expand into the western region and 2) what an incredible resume builder, claiming that you turned around the worst team in the country. Yes there’s a lot to fix with CU’s program, but with his recruiting tactics, leadership and CU’s resources, I think Sanders and Boulder are a successful pairing. He may not get every 4/5 star recruit, but he’ll bring in a quality QB and other talents in order to build for the future.

If Sanders saves CU, he’ll be one of the most lucrative, desired coaches in the nation. He can have his own HGTV show perhaps like flip or flop, where he goes into desperate programs and turns them into nationally relevant teams lol!

Yes there is risk involved with both parties, but the rewards are substantial.

Coming down to the wire here, Sanders has to be coming to Boulder.

Can the Buffs finally put together back-to-back wins tonight? Colorado and ASU share similar numbers in multiple offensive categories, but ASU has one of the best defenses in the Pac-12.

"Our guys know inconsistency is one of our, right now, Achilles heel. We can fix that, but we have to fix it, they have to fix it.”

Dam, the hits just keep coming. This dude could pitch and was the master of the "spitball".

The wonderful and talented singer/keys player for Fleetwood Mac has passed. Seen them many times from the 70' -80's. She was all class, all time. A great loss for Rock Music fans.

We've got another coaching candidate profile up today, with another to follow on Friday. This one: Bronco Mendenhall, who checks off so many of the boxes Colorado should want in its next coach
