Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 Troy Finnegan and I taking the bye week to recap the Buffs' wins vs. the Bearcats, talk Julian Lewis and Carde Smith's visit and how Boyle and the Buffs look ahead of their first game on Nov. 4.

We finally have a competitive team and our world class mascot is almost 4 hooves up. I am seriously embarrassed as Ralphie can barely muster a speed walk when the gates open to lead the team onto the field. Im not sure if the poor animal is too doped up from legal weed or simply is not thriving in her current role but someone seriouly needs to figure this out. WIth NAtional TV audiences and 5 star athletes in the stands we need to find a BUffalo that will pull 5 handlers around the feld like rag dolls as we used to see. We need opposing teams to stay fearfully off the field and the trailer to shake like an 8.0 quake is happening at the base of the foothills, when Ralphie puts down the landing gear.

This smells like government over-reach by PETA or possibly its just your run of the mill " bad hire" but it needs to be corrected ASAP. Anybody know who we can email to register a complaint

This season's version of Shedeur Sanders is much more mature than last season.

Things he was seen doing recently:

1) Helping Injured Sam King off the field.

2) Consoling teammate Hank Zilinskas for being taken out of the game for bad snaps - welcoming Cash Cleveland out for his first snaps as a Buff.

3) Visiting local schools and speaking to the kids.

4) On the field - I think he has been especially selfless in executing the offense - sometimes even performing RPO elements - and promoting the run game.


I prefer this version of Shedeur - instead of the one calling out his Dad's rivals at games - or showing the watch to opposing team fans.

Bama takes a second loss but is by no means out. When have you ever been able to say that ? The product is so good right now in all the leagues. Especially the P2 and B12.
We may not be a dominate conference or likely be able to hang in the playoff but it’s fun and interesting football. If we were in the P2 we would just take a weekly pummeling for the admin and a few key AD folks to make more. Now, while unlikely, we can dream of a chance at a confercne championship game appearance
I’m loving college football with the playoff. Thought I wouldn’t. Boy was I wrong

Just finished a movie with the kids. FWIW Wild Robot is a good one for the family. Anyways, reading the box score this looks worth watching second half. UNLV D holding the Heisman front runner down and both QBs having decent overall games.

Anyone watching and have mor story line ?

Just coming accross the news feeds. Multiple first rounds picks plus players and other picks. Great day for the Broncos. I'd rather have Wilson than Rogers. Denver still has draft picks left plus a strong roster already in place and a good defense. Great news for Bronco fans.
