When I first heard that Brennan Marion was named offensive coordinator at CU, my first thought was that his offense seems to be a strange fit with Juju Lewis. A key component of the Go-Go offense, after all, has been the triple option. Juju Lewis is primarily a pocket passer. After studying film of the Go-Go offense
First, the bad news: Colorado’s high school recruiting class is ranked 100th nationally. Schools ranked higher than CU include Buffalo, Arkansas State, Kent State, Ohio, Old Dominion and Georgia State.

National signing day is….today????? The earlier date caused it to sneak up on college football fans (and the CU coaching staff?), largely because most of the recruiting class was wrapped up before the season began. If you’re like most CU fans and haven’t paid much attention to recruiting the last few months, the good news is

CU’s football season mercifully came to an end on Saturday in a 24-14 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats.

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

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. George leaves behind a legacy that’s complicated. While there were pluses and

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
