According to Sanders conversation the other day, today is when he is supposed to announce who the new defensive coordinator is going to be. Fingers crossed we get a good one.

But Sapp also has another history, involving violence against women, that has raised concerns in Colorado at the same time, leading to questions about his hiring there and how the university would address it after a previous scandal there led to pledges of no tolerance for domestic violence.

My wife, Diane and I tested positive for Covid two days ago. She was prescribed Paxlovid; however, due to blood thinners, I am not a candidate. So, I was sent home with the advice of getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated and making sure to call 911 if I find myself having difficulty breathing. I hope it doesn't come to that!
Please send good thoughts and prayers our way. Thank you in advance.

Love this story. Let’s just keep it going. Lots of tough games coming up and a chance to keep moving up.

@Matt Moreno Can we find out if any EE or TP players are on campus and starting the Spring semester with the team?

Thanks

Would be very cool if those first picks held true. Would be in the most elite of company.

If so, great replacement in my opinion. Has done an amazing job in Arizona. I would feel bad for Arizona, but I hate Arizona.

Aside from picking up a new coach they have to deal with a lot of players leaving for the NFL and likely the transfer portal.

They lose Penix and now Rogers is transferring too. Top WR, top RB and a slew of defensive players all leaving for one reason or another.

Even if the coach stayed this was going to be a tougher year. Now it seems they could be looking at a couple year climb back up.

Who is the new coach ?
What does everyone see for them this year?
How long until they can compete for the BIG?

Amazing how things can change so much in one week

I was looking at Jerry Palms NCAA bracket and currently he has Denver in as a 15th seed against Arizona.

They went 15-17 (6-12 in the Summit) last year, this year they are 11-7 (2-1 in the Summit). One Saturday they beat South Dakota St 99-80 at home. They have never been to the D1 NCAA tourney. Interesting not is that first place school in the Summit St. Thomas is not eligible for the NCAA tourney as they are in a transition period from moving up from D3. Nebraska-Omaha is second in the conference.

Don’t know who else got out but man it was deep and warm today. Yesterday’s winds died by 10:30 and it was a powder day at Vail.
First face shots (small but it felt good to eat snow while gliding through the bowls) of the year.

Who else got out? Where did you go?

@SoCo Buff where was your crew?

Buffs looking for another marquee win today in Boulder against No. 8 Stanford. Sara-Rose Smith has a mild concussion and will miss her second straight game, so look for more Bri McLeod in her absence.

Usual starters for the Buffs:
Jaylyn Sherrod
Maddie Nolan
Frida Formann
Quay Miller
Aaronette Vonleh

For Stanford:
Talana Lepolo
Elena Bosgana
Hannah Jump
Kiki Iriafen (17.1 PPG)
Cameron Brink (17.9 PPG, 11 RPG)

I hate this move. Never like to see the Canes get better and this kid is good.

Devin Rispress is joining from FAMU- looks like something part of recruiting? Any info, because nothing says big-time, like bringing a recruiter from FAMU?

DP: FB - Keeler: Deion Sanders’ recruiting made Nick Saban look like a dinosaur. But until CU Buffs find their Lane Kiffin or Steve Sarkisian, Coach Prime won’t sniff College Football Playoff (Sanders’ mantra is that enough Jimmies and Joes from the portal will make Xs and Os immaterial. That works a heck of a lot better at the Power 5 level if you’ve got six Travis Hunters, as Saban so often did, instead of CU’s one.)

Let's get the W Buffs. Enough messing around. Let's start a win streak.
Oh, and congrats to WSU who just knocked off Zona in Pullman 73-70.
Yes, it can be done!
