Through the first quarter, I’m not impressed. Some of the play designs have promise, but execution isn’t there. QB numbers are solid (Ward 7/10, Mateer 5/6), but it feels overly scripted.
Hoping they settle in better as it goes on, maybe it gets more organic.

Just wait....
Perhaps it was part of the deal sc made? You know, bring in the refs we already have in our back pocket if you want us?

So, this is going to be a fascinating development in Boulder.

In what has been regarded as the greatest “TEAM” sport ever. Can you construct in a short amount of time a winning football program/formula with transfers and high-level talent?

This approach has not been able to take hold in the NFL despite years and years of Free Agency. The closest all-in roster construct attempt was with the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles and their "DREAM TEAM" attempt.

You could say once Bill Snyder got things somewhat into a plug-N-play flow at K-State, he was doing this type of constructing with JUCO kids’ year-in-year out.

The loaded-up 5-Star rosters in Lexington hasn't done a lot in college hoops over the last 10yrs.

This is going to be very interesting watch and challenge some of the foundation principles of building a winner in the sport of Big Time College Football.

Aaron Rogers to the Jets for picks

GB gives the Jets Rogers, their #15 pick and a 5th rounder (#170)

GB gets the Jets #13, #42, #207, and a 2nd rounder in 2024...which turns into a 1st rounder if Rogers plays 65% of their downs.

Not convinced Rogers has enough football in him to be worth that, but if they made a good deal they wouldn't be the Jets.

As opposed to 3,000 last year.

Anyone going? I am heading to Snohomish for a track meet today, but have to admit, I would probably skip it. Not sure if it’s all the transferring , NIL or I am just getting old but I can’t really get excited about driving to Pullman for a scrimmage.

I stumbled across Concrete Blonde some years ago. Johnette Napolitano had a helluva voice. I liked the guitar player too.

Play by Play announcer for Baseball, when we stream on Pac-12 Plus, (no broadcast TV).

It's not Chaz.

It's not Greg Heister.

This guy, (right now on game 3 at home against Santa Clara).....this guy NEVER, EVER SAYS HIS NAME!

Why do I ask?

He's a true professional.

For baseball, I personally like him better than Chaz and Heister. Heister is good for basketball.....but this guy, who is he? He's not even listed in the WSU Baseball Staff Directory. I've been listening to him since the start of the season.

And....what's up with never saying your name? Never. Crazy.

Anyone know?

What's he doing here? He can easily work the minors, IMO.

Perhaps he prefers to be private, never says his own name?!

Olines looked more athletic . I am wondering how the senior transfer Christy N is feeling about being second team with just his senior year left .

The kid who surprised me on the oline was Lester the walk-on. He will get a scholie and he will play at some point at wsu . Nice pick up .

Wr as a group look like huge upgrade. Smithson looks to be pressing . Nunally has made strides.

Rb will be fine .

I think corner is in good shape. I was surprised by the play of the linebackers . I thought they would be further along.

D tackles may be a season long concern . As will nickle and a safety position .

The official site only has 3 minutes or so. This dude does a good job and worth a look-see on his channel

Clearly

So I’m flipping through the channels and land on the Memphis/Birmingham game. Two names I recognize immediately pop up—Ted Haley and Skip Holtz. So I dig through the the rosters and it’s got some big names: Kevin Sumlin, Mike Riley, Todd Haley

So I look for Cougs.

NJ Generals: Destiny Vaeao, Shalom Luani

That’s it. Lots of Oregon and USC players.

Looks like the Buffalo has woken up, Colorado will no longer be an easy win. Many said Colorado spent too much money for Deon, well he is already paying dividends. to quote a famous line Field of Dreams " Build it and they will come"

Colorado football sold out for the first time in 27 years.

Sounds like they would buy the Pac-12 networks and/or use them to operate things.

Apple would then sell game rights to "linear" partners, like Fox or ESPN or maybe even CW.

Ok, WTF is wrong with this country of ours? Within a week, black kid gets shot for knocking on the wrong door. White 20 year old girl gets killed because they drove up the wrong road. 4 kids (and counting) killed at a sweet 16 party. Now two cheerleaders get shot because one of them opened the door to the wrong car.

Just today, two women got into a fistfight at my local dog park because one dog was humping the other and the humpee owner kicked the humper.

We are so f-ed up as a nation.

In the portal. Too bad, thought he showed some real flashes last year and was hoping he would be a solid contributor this year.

Everyone should watch this one. It makes you think......

Slow news time for the Cougs right now, it seems. Mainly posting this for this one reason ... look at the quotes near the end, when Fitterer starts talking about how the team "nutritionally can do some things to educate" Young. You really think in today's day and age, a prospect like Young doesn't know about nutrition or didn't get all he could handle on the topic from Saban and Bama? Even your everyday gym bro knows about how to eat to put on muscle. It's all rationalization, not that Young may not turn out to be great at the NFL level. I'd rather have Stroud. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/36226200/panthers-gm-says-told-anybody-no-1-pick

Staff continuing to persue players. Now a D2 All American coming for a visit. 6-7 205 Wing out of Sacremento.

CCAA player of the year.

Portal (hit ‘No thanks’ if you don’t want to input your email address)

Conzano has yet another good article out. Net of -22 players for the Cougs. What does that mean to the roster? Aside from the obvious.

First team all-american PG (CSI) who had an undefeated season was in for a visit. His first official visit at D1. He is from Alaska. Big time scorer shooting 40% from 3, 50% field and 90% from the line.

Staff continues to recruit.

Don't drink it, so doesn't really matter to me. However one key to expanding your market is, first of all don't alienate your current customers. We can debate if they are right or wrong, but their marketing person does not understand a lot of their customer base. Time will tell, but it doesn't look good in week one.

OK so this is nuts. Tulare lake (wherever the hell that is) was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi before the farmers. etc. drained it dry and turned the lakebed into farmland? WTH? Now it's back and they are freaking out? Reap what you sow, I say. Thank Gawd wee have the Snake and Columbia running through our state.
