Thanksgiving is a day for gratitude, mashed potatoes, and pretending your family isn’t one snarky comment away from reenacting the Pac-12 breakup in real time. And like every modern American family, mine expresses its love the only way we know how: by communicating entirely through a chaotic group chat, even when we’re sitting in the […]
Happy Thanksgiving From the Most Unhinged CU Group Chat on Earth Read More »
CU has a roster construction problem. You want proof? CU ranks 108th nationally in scoring offense, 107th in scoring defense, 107th in yards per play, and 108th in yards per play allowed. Woof. Is there help on the way? CU is ranked 95th nationally in high school recruiting for the 2026 class. Georgia State, UMass, Buffalo, Toledo, etc. are all ranked higher
I like to think of it as self-preservation. I don’t like to watch things that are designed to make me feel too much. My favorite teams’ playoff games? Can’t do it live. The anxiety, the dread, the stomach-churning sense that everything is about to go wrong — I can’t do it. I skip it. I wait for the final score. If

Rick George announced yesterday that he is retiring as Athletic Director at CU and moving into a newly invented role as AD Emeritus where he will participate in “revenue generating initiatives for the athletic department.” In big-time college sports, it’s always about the money.

In an era where college football head coaches are paid $10m, players wear chains that cost more than an average worker makes in a year, and young men preach loyalty from their third transfer portal stop, sometimes it’s worth reminding yourself what the game used to feel like. That’s how I found myself in Grand
BuffsBlogBite: Offensive Shake-Up Change are happening on the offensive side of the football for Colorado. This will be week #2 that Brett Bartalone will be calling plays for the Buffs after he made his play calling debut last week. More critically, however, is that two separate sources have told us that CU has materially simplified

Growing up in Colorado, I learned early that fall weekends are a two-act performance. First comes Saturday in Boulder. Ralphie runs, Buffaloes Buffaloes Go CU (wink), Big Jim nearly fighting with opposing fans, and the best view in sports. Then on Sunday, everything shifts to Denver. The South Stands, the Orange Crush, and the knock-off horse that runs

The King is Dead The Kaidon Salter era at Colorado is dead. Teams have realized that Salter doesn’t handle pressure. He’s just not processing the field quickly enough to counter the blitz. As a result, opponents are bringing five and six pass rushers on every play, and CU hasn’t been able to effectively adjust. Why? There are
“Dad, I’m so sorry.” I could barely hear my daughter through her sobs. “What’s up, babe?” She was gasping for air. “I’m so sorry I’m so sorry.” After she caught her breath, the words came. “I wrecked my car.” The first instinct after a car crash like the CU vs. Utah game is to want to tear it

With the season officially just past the half-way point, it’s time for BuffsBlog to hand out some hardware for mid-season superlatives. This season has been a roller-coaster for the Buffs. The good news is that it’s clear that CU can beat every team it plays the rest of this season. The bad news is that it’s equally clear
