@TheC - I am almost as big a UCONN women’s basketball/ Stewart fan as you, but I am curious of your thoughts as to her play in the Finals.

Welcome back Bob, that was a long trip. I was getting worried about you.

We are not winning. My point is we still would not have won with Sully at QB. It would not be enough to overcome lopsided losses. In fact, my belief is Lausch is better.

Heaven help us if Sully gets in and plays well against the Cats this week. Feral will get on the pulpit and give us a Joel Osteen homily on how NU ran off the best QB we had.

Lausch is already better than Wright, is young, and is improving. His ceiling may prove to be higher than Sullivan's; we'll see. I'm not going to turn it into a session to bad-mouth Lausch. I'm cheering for him to continue his growth.

Unless you play or work for the program, you are not in position to judge its "culture." How do you know what the culture inside the program is beyond a few sound bites? A distinct culture that ejects individuals who have different values is not necessarily a bad culture. Strong, distinctive cultures can be hallmarks of high functioning organizations. It does not have to be all-inclusive to be "good."

If you liken it to “The U” culture, it did not seem to foster sustained success or fan base for Miami.

The first name I thought of was Jason ‘White Chocolate’ Williams. Just seems like a very free-flowing and unique player for NU.

Kid's moves are impressive. With a couple of seasons gaining strenght, I can envision not only a B1G player, but also a star.

I'm a fan of Coach Prime, but I can see how others are put off by his bravado. But I don't see how one can credibly argue that he has been bad for Colorado and Colorado football. More applicants and more donor support is real currency in higher education.

And if the Buffs flatline after Coach Prime leaves, that's more on the AD and administration than Sanders. In this brave new world, no coach is a lifer any more.

In rewatching the game I was more upset with the five yard penalty on the prior play than I was on the play call on the fumble on the drop back. How many friggin times this year is the OL or tight end going to move at absolutely the worst moment? I don't know what was going through Braun's mind at the time but I bet he was really pissed and he went brain dead.

My father, a CU alum, was born 96 years ago today. He was a CU season ticket holder for maybe 60 years. He died of COVID-19 in 2020 which was a tragedy aside from the fact that it spared him from the Coach Prime era.

Sorry for your loss. I'm curious as to whether the majority of older (60+) CU alumni are anti-prime because he's flashy and represents a new world of NIL college football or if they are happy to be relevant. Colorado is ranked and is 5-2 for the first time since 2005. Donations are up across the board so I'm assuming a good chunk is the latter but I'm sure there's a good percentage of older alumni who would appreciate a more conservative Jim Tressell sweater-vest or a Dabo Swinney (no portal) approach. In other words, how much of the anti-prime sentiment is generational?

If you were sitting with multiple millions in the bank at fifty five, faced with a job description completely different from the one you signed up for, loved and were excellent at, why would you feel any great need to work at the new job? Why not take a step back, perhaps coach at a lower Division school or, alternatively, do something completely different like tending bar in the Bahamas?

This makes sense, but bailing on the kids you recruited, and presumably made promises to, two weeks before the season starts is still a low-rent move.
