This is another baneful (boorish?) BuffsBlog Buff Bites Blogpost. Ahhh, the BBBBB! There are several things addressed here, ranging from dumb (is that Congressional pressure on CU to add a 16th varsity sport?) to a Deion Sanders’ health update and is that football recruiting momentum? Feel free to read any or all of this post,
The good news is that the greatest tradition in all of college sports resides in Boulder, Colorado. CU’s beloved buffalo mascot, Ralphie has trampled down Folsom Field, leaving black hats and wheezing Ralphie Handlers in her wake, since 1967. About 5 minutes before kickoff, every set of eyes in Folsom Field is glued to the northeast side

C If you’re going to take a “flyer” on a less recruited high school football player, you might as well take a flyer. CU received a commitment last week from linebacker Colby Johnson. Johnson, a 6’2” 195-pounder from Sammamish, Washington, can really run. The Sammamish Sledgehammer has been timed at a 4.53 40-yard dash, which is

Some of the hand-wringing over high school football recruiting can slow down, at least for today. CU received a commitment this afternoon from offensive tackle Xavier Payne. Payne, a 6’7″ 320 pound offensive lineman, was a Florida State commit that decommitted from FSU two weeks ago after an official visit to Boulder. [There are whispers

My answer? Probably none. But that’s a boring post, and there’s a chance that several true freshmen will crack the starting lineup August 28th against Georgia Tech. So, in order of likelihood of starting, we’ve ranked CU’s true freshmen 1 through 12 to see which players are most likely to start from day one. We’ll

TL/DR: Colorado’s frontcourt faces an uphill battle in the Big 12. The Buffaloes lack proven size, rim protection, and physicality inside. Unless returning forward Bangot Dak makes a Tristan da Silva-like leap and Elijah “Post” Malone becomes a steady Big 12 center, CU’s frontcourt could be overmatched. The Buffs are still exploring one more late

CU fans, it’s time we have a tough talk about the state of high school football recruiting. But first, a disclaimer that I’m 99% certain most fans will not remember by the end of this post — this is not a panic post. BuffsBlog is not panicked about the state of the program. In fact,

The Curse of the Bambino (Boston Red Sox). The Curse of the Billy Goat (Chicago Cubs). The Madden Curse (Team Agnostic). Curses are everywhere in sports. These curses can be rooted in events like a fan being ejected with his goat, a team selling a star player, or a player appearing on the cover of a

Yesterday CU got a commitment from 4-star defensive back Preston Ashley. It was considered a bit of a surprise since Ashley is a Mississippi native and his father and uncle both played at Ole Miss. CU will need to continue recruiting Ashely through signing date but the early returns look good. There is an open question as
