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 […]

[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
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!”

#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

Still, we’ve graded the tape of the Spring Game and have a breakdown of the

[Editor’s note: This post was going to run on Monday. However, after the Spring Game this afternoon, Jay Gardenhire announced that he was going to enter the tranfser portal. Gardenhire must have heard that this post was going to run and so he decided to transfer so that we wouldn’t publish the post and he

Xavier Hill was on the Outland Trophy watch list last season. This past week I published “What We’re Hearing About the Offense” and “What We’re Hearing About the Defense” to detail how the team is looking in spring practice. Those posts are going to be obsolete in another month or two. Deion Sanders, Transfer Portal Savant,

On Monday, CU announced it will retire two jersey numbers during the spring game: Travis Hunter’s No. 12 and Shedeur Sanders’ No. 2. And when the news broke, one thought came to mind— What’s the rush? Look, I get it. Fathers are biologically wired to hype their kids. I say this as the guy in

This is a follow-up to our earlier article about what we’re hearing about the offense this spring. For that article, check out: Under the Deion Sanders regime, there’s a tight lid on information out of the Champions Center. One source of information is the “CU Sponsored State Media,” ie Well-Off Media, Reach the People Media and Uncle

The CU football staff finally put out the new spring roster (or, as we call it, the PHONEBOOK) and we here at BuffsBlog couldn’t be more excited! This is part 2 of our over-analysis — for part 1 (where we look at all the freshman and transfers), check out: Now, for a few quick reminders: First,
