TIME TO FIX FOOTBALL, CU FOOTBALL NOTES, AND CFB REALIGNMENT
A Bill to Fix College Sports? There’s a movement afoot in congress to Try to Fix College Sports. This edition of the Try to Fix College Sports bill seems relatively benign: A framework of a bill is expected to include three main concepts: [By way of background/reminder, the House settlement creates an effective salary cap of about

BUFFSBLOG BITES: BIG RECRUITING WEEKEND, NEW TRANSFER, AND HOOPS NOTES
Biggest High School Recruiting Weekend This Decade? For those that read my most recent recruiting updates, you’ll know that I’ve been bullish on early recruiting results. For more, check out: https://buffsblog.com/colorado-buffaloes-high-school-recruiting-board-defense-version-one/ for the defensive board and https://buffsblog.com/cu-buffs-high-school-offensive-recruiting-hot-board-version-2-0/ for the offensive board.

DEALING WITH ROSTER MATH: WHO’S UP NEXT?
I became a corporate lawyer in part because I didn’t want to have to do “the maths.” When I was unsuccessful with actual maths avoidance, I needed to sprinkle in something more interesting — so I would sprinkle in sports. At CU, I took a maths class called QRMS and my final project involved calculating the percentage likelihood

GRADING THE DEFENSE AND SPECIAL TEAMS UNITS AFTER THE SPRING GAME – AN Xs AND Os BREAKDOWN
[Editor’s note: After writing this post, and immediately prior to the closing of the spring transfer portal for non-graduates, CB Colton Hood and his brother, RB Brendon Hood, entered the transfer portal. Inexplicably, sources have told me that Brandon Hood was asked to leave and so he and his brother, Colton, both jumped into the
WHAT IN THE HELL IS THE NFL THINKING? ON SHEDEUR SANDERS
Tonight I was at a small concert at Little Horse in Louisville trying to focus on listening to the spacy jazz music of PrairieWolf — but my phone wouldn’t leave me alone. “He’s not been drafted yet!” “We’re through the 2nd round and no Sheduer.” “Jalen FUCKING Milroe has been drafted – but not Sanders!”

BUFFSBLOG BITES: NEXT MAN UP AFTER ZACK OWENS DEPARTURE AND BASKETBALL NOTES
#75 Zack Owens is hitting the transfer portal. I audibly groaned when reading the news that offensive guard Zack Owens is entering the transfer portal. The former 4-star Clemson recruit, now 345 pounds (down from 375), was a star in the spring game. He was a devastating run blocker and surprised with his ability to get

GRADING THE OFFENSE IN THE CU SPRING GAME AND Xs AND Os ANALYSIS
It’s difficult to put too much stake into a spring game. Players are constantly rotated, and a great play against the 2s on defense is probably not as valuable from an evaluation standpoint as a great play against the 1s on defense. Still, we’ve graded the tape of the Spring Game and have a breakdown of the

BUFFSBLOG SPRING GAME NOTES AND TRANSFER UPDATE – AND IS CU NOW THE BIGGEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY?
We attended the Spring Game on Saturday and will have a full UFR (Upon Further Review) / strategies and tape breakdown of the game later this week. In the meantime, though, we wanted to give you our primary takeaway from the game: CU IS THE BIGGEST COLLEGE TEAM WE’VE EVER SEEN. By now, you probably
