  1. If they can’t cut it, they can’t cut it. That’s their choice. Hard work is the “encouragement.” Sounds like the same kind of encouragement Bo gave his players. He ran off around 70 players. That’s more than Deion ran off. No one criticizes Bo, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irqM7BHhlKc&t=19m5s
  2. First, so what? He transformed the program. According to Deion in an interview with Erin Andrews that aired on Big Noon Kickoff, he only sat down with 20 players and told them there was no future for them at Colorado. The rest quit. When Bo Schembechler arrived at Michigan, he worked his team so hard that there were players walking off the practice field and quitting every day. He hung a sign in the locker room that said, “Those who stay will be champions.” It still hangs there today. He’s revered for it. What’s the difference? Deion didn’t invent the transfer portal. He’s just using it to great effect. Last year is completely relevant when talking about Colorado. He’s the coach and this is his team. Oh, he’s nothing special as a coach, he just brought in good players? Nick Saban says hi. Isn’t that the path most successful coaches travel?
  3. This would be unprecedented. I found this: No speaker has ever been removed in this manner If a resolution were to pass, the House would enter into unchartered waters of making new precedent. Under continuity of Congress procedures enacted after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, there is a list of people who can act as speaker pro tempore in an event where the speakership is vacated. This was created in anticipation of a mass casualty event like a terrorist attack, but it would apply if the speakership is vacated. The irony is that list is written by the sitting speaker — so McCarthy knows who is on the list — and it is kept by the House clerk and only to be made public in the event of a vacancy. https://www.npr.org/2023/09/30/1202713718/kevin-mccarthy-motion-to-vacate-gaetz-house-speaker
  4. I noticed in my grocery store that Reynolds offers regular and recycled aluminum foil. Recycled costs the same, $4.99, as regular for 75 sq ft.
  5. Last year USC beat Colorado 55-17. Diminishing what Deion has already accomplished in such a short time at Colorado by denigrating the teams he’s performed well against is foolhardy. I figured Colorado would score on USC’s shitty defense. I didn’t expect Colorado’s defense to clamp down on USC’s offense as well as they did late in the game. They played them pretty close. You predict that USC will lose 3+ games. 3 games seems about right. They went 11-3 last year and this team seems pretty similar. The rest of the PAC-12 is better this year so USC probably isn’t making the CCG again. Colorado’s next three are at ASU, Stanford, and at UCLA (after a BYE). Do you think they’re likely to do worse than 2-1 in those games? I don’t. They could win them all and be bowl eligible before November. They’re final 4 are OSU (Homecoming), Arizona, at WSU, and at Utah. I’ll bet they’ll win at least 1 of those games. Maybe 2. I think getting to a bowl is virtually guaranteed. Going 7-5 is certainly a possibility and might be likely. Going 8-4 would be beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. You’re talking about a 3-loss USC. Surely you’d have to agree that if Deion turns a 1-win Colorado into a 4-loss team in one season, that would be astounding. 7-5 would be amazing. Just taking them to a bowl in his first year will be a resounding success. I’ll bet he’s got at least one more stunning upset win in him that no one saw coming. Funny thing about football, though, he might also have one stunning loss that no one saw coming too. But so far he’s won every game he’s been favored to win so his next upset loss will be his first. There’s no way to rationalize away what Deion has accomplished in just a matter of months as anything less than a remarkable transformation. Going from a 55-17 loss to a 48-41 loss in one season isn’t something to dismiss out of hand like it didn’t mean anything. But it doesn’t matter what you and I think. It matters what the recruits think. I’ll bet they like what they see. I know yesterday was a big day for recruiting visits. I’ll bet it will be easy to sell them that they’re the missing pieces this team needs and to come to Colorado.
  6. If you’re going that route, it should be “RETSGOBLANDON.”
  7. It’s maddening. Hey, let’s quit doing what’s working!
  8. Are they playing on a beach? Is that sand?
  9. Iowa FG on 4th and a short 1 ties the game at 16-16.
  10. Ugh! I just got off a LONG call with my mom, unable to yell and shout as Duke attempts their comeback.
  11. I see Sparty made another FG. They now lead 6-3 midway through the 2nd qtr.
  12. Duke D holds, pushes ‘em back 5 yds and forces a FG attempt which will come when the 2nd qtr starts.
  13. Flipped back and Duke threw an INT at about their own 25 yd line. Returned to the 13.
  14. ND was about to attempt a 53 yd FG but a false start moved them back so they punted. I switched over to NBC just as the 1st qtr ended still tied in Iowa City and got to see everyone wave at the kids in the hospital. Go kids! Get well.
  15. MSU ties it up at 3-3 in Iowa City. High scoring 1st qtr.
  16. Duke misses the FG wide right. You could see that wasn’t going to make it as soon as he kicked it. 7-0 Papists. Oh shit. McNamara’s hurt.
  17. They capitalize. TD Irish. Also, fuck ND. But no apparent hangover from last week. Let’s see what kind of fight the Dukies put up.
