    You make a great point about CU being relevant again. Colorado should never be down the way they’ve been, for as long as they have been. 

    They have a beautiful campus, a quality brand, okay academic rep, and they’re located in one of the better spots on the map. Colorado the state doesn’t have a ton of talent, but the greater Denver area produces some quality. Then, CU should be pulling plenty from Texas, California, Arizona, KC, STL, and the Pacific northwest. McCartney and then Neuheisel knew this and did this. It’s absurd that they turned most of those spigots off. 

    Agreed, but I think the emergence of Utah has probably lowered their ceiling a bit, at least until Whittingham retires. It offers a similar vibe (mountains, school, ball in the same conference) with a winner. I think they’ve probably siphoned off quite a few kids that would’ve found their way to Boulder…also, losing Prop 48 really hurt them, not to the levels of Nebraska, but it still had a decent impact. Ultimately, I think they’re going to have to “Louisiana” their NIL if they really want to turn this thing around because I don’t think playing it straight with their donor base will do it.

    Texas is likely to have the best season among those four teams.

    Best team? Sure. Best season? Have you seen the hammered dogshit that is Notre Dame’s schedule? Depending on how FSU and USC look with new QBs, there’s a fair chance A&M is the best team they play…and it’s one of only three true road games (first and last with only one road game in between).

    So I watched an ONTexasFootball vid this morning where Gerry dropped some hints that some schools are still doing old style recruiting as opposed to legit NIL. This seemed to be in regards to DT recruits. He appeared to be optimistic that because of this, things might turn around later in the cycle. I’m a little confused as to how cash under the table becomes less lucrative later on unless it’s an Eric Dickerson style double cross. Would be funny if that’s the case.

    Just waiting on the feds to get involved….

    My coworker that looks like Pressly should make it through another Tuesday unpunched. Well done.

    Thank God I don’t work with anybody that looks like Hader.

    Maybe avoid drive thru’s tomorrow just to be safe.

    There are many, many more high achieveing high school grads (1500+ SATs, 4.0 UW GPAs, steller extracurriculars) than there are available slots at the Top 20 or so elite private universities. This has created a market of angry/frustrated parents of these kids who eat up articles like this one from Forbes. What this all means is that if we don't flip Myron Chalres, I am going to do a 3am Clown-Porn-Bombing of this very recruiting board that most of you can't handle.

    I'm not sure how many more days I can watch an outfield of Cabbage/Meyers/Loperfido (insert Chas for any of them on a given day). They may be fine defensively, but way too much swing and miss with that group. 

    Tucker needs to rub some dirt on it and get back on the field sooner rather than later. Or if Tucker's "bruise" is still hurting then give Leon a chance. 

    The potential solution to your swing and miss blues is Pedro Leon? Our Pedro Leon?
