  1. Two people can't report. They went up as a group of 3 to try to create confusion in the Dallas D. 70 claims he didn't say anything, so I bet the ref just picked the guy and declared him as the eligible receiver. Not the right way to handle it, but the Lions should also be aware of the rules.

    None of this is on Dallas, btw. I always get a kick out of other teams screwing something up, getting called on it, and it is always somehow Dallas's fault.

  2. KSA will flood the market like they did in ‘14-15, drive down prices just long enough for most of us to get laid off while a bunch of DUCs are on standby and the remaining skeleton land crews furiously try to extend leases, and then everything will go back to normal in less than a year. 

  3. Boycotting the bowl would be some loser mentality bullshit. If you thought you deserved to be in the playoff, then go prove it. Force the AP and Coaches Polls to throw a couple of 1st place votes to create some controversy. Get yourself into the Preseason Top 5 next year so you’re best positioned to make the expanded playoff, even with a couple of losses.

    Can any math wizards make sense of the rankings below?  If there are 40,581 total accounts, wouldn't the top 10% be account 4,058 and lower?

    I’m assuming that the Rank #1 at 953,399 is either the Jamail Estate or the McCombs Estate. Surprised at the back half of those point ranges, though.

    I have no hope for us making the CFP. 14-1, a Big 12 championship, and a major bowl win will do me juuuuuuuuuust fine.

    One loss season, getting snubbed in the championship game selection, and then going on to win a major bowl game would be 2008 all over again. I’d take that.

    Why in the world does it matter how they got to 4-8?

    He built the team at the same university, then produced a ton of money and 3 additional wins as a result. They were also more competitive.

    Year over year if he changes the entire roster again and gets to 10 wins, who fucking cares if he doesn't keep the same players from the year before?

    this is CFB, not an RPG. you don't get more credit because you used guys from the prior year and they got better. the results are what matters and all we have are those results.

    last year? 1 win. this year? 4 wins.

    if you don't think that's upward momentum in the eyes of the AD, students, donors, coaches, recruits, media and CU fans...idk what to tell you.

    It absolutely matters that it isn't the same roster and you absolutely get credit in the eyes of recruits if a lot of the guys from the prior roster were a part of the improvement. Recruits want to see player development. Why? Because the NFL wants to see player development. They want to see metrics. "RB1 had X amount of yards on Y amount of carries and Z number of touchdowns before Deion. After Deion, there was a 60% improvement in those numbers." That signals to recruits that they might be able to go from 4 star athlete to 1st or 2nd round pick in 3 or more years at Colorado. It tells recruits that Deion can take a bunch of spares from a 1-11 team and start getting them national attention and in the conversation for awards and draft picks in just one or two years and if he can do that for 2 and 3 star spares, just imagine what he can do for 4 and 5 stars. That matters a ton for future recruiting. So, great, CU got one whole year of excitement, money, and attention. But is there longevity there? Can Deion build a program? Going 4-8 with a completely different team doesn't give anyone any idea if he can develop talent. If anything, we saw him fade down the stretch and lose almost all of the early season momentum, as well as a decline in player performance (not to mention having his stars get banged up while losing). And...

    Is he recruiting better than Colorado did before him?  Yes, but with caveats.  He still has more 4 star level guys than they’ve been getting in a typical class recently.  But the momentum is going the wrong direction.  And if he’s only going to sign 10 high school players and turn over 50 roster spots with the portal every year, they aren’t going to be talented or establish any kind of culture and continuity (firing your OC who was your best assistant midseason doesn’t help with that, either). 

    This. "It's Division I football! This ain't IMG Academy." Look at none other than Sark at Texas for an example of how establishing a 5 Star Culture over time helps a program. College football isn't plug and play. It's about establishing and keeping long term momentum. He built a roster of mercenary athletes who wanted immediate results and those athletes and recruiting commits are already jumping ship.

    wait.

    you don't think they showed real progress?

    they went 4-8 after going 1-11 and being one of the absolute worst p5 teams in the country.

    i get shitting on CU and Deion and have myself in this very thread, but come on. no real progress? they lost games by 7, 3, 7, 3 and 6. they also got blown out in some games but last year they lost exactly one game by 7 points or less lol

    The whole “1-11 to 4-8” is pure fool’s gold. He cleared out almost all of the roster and transferred in a bunch of guys. If it was 1-11 to 4-8 with almost the same exact roster, now that’s progress. But this is a brand new 4-8 team. There is no upward momentum to show. Our sample size to evaluate this team is one season, not two. And that one season was bad. Why would 4 and 5 stars serious about winning want to go there?

    I want Sanders to succeed, but all I saw was regression this season. As it turns out, a lot of recruits saw it, too.

    No, it wasn't. Not in the way that Herbie meant. He was aghast that we would consider getting rid of that dumbass Charlie Strong so soon.

    The Steve Patterson era was probably the unhealthiest that the athletic department has been in my lifetime.
