Best of luck. Hope Q kills it tomorrow!
Have fun in Boulder, too. Special little city.
Whatever team he makes don't visit the boards during the year. Especially if your son is the starting QB. Unless that team is undefeated. :gobuffs:

yeah I understand how that works, I'm just as hard on our boys but more so on the coach. He has the talent it's up to him to put the right kids out there. But Q really has a good feeling about CU, loves the area and the people are so nice, it's like night and day from El Paso.

I don't envy the parents of the athletes. I know that personally, my wife and I say things about and to our son (constructive criticism, setting challenges, etc.) that we wouldn't take well if it came from someone else.
I hope that all the parents, families and friends of CU players who read these boards understand that when we fans get on a player that is is coming from a similar place. We care. They're part of the CU family that means a lot to us. It's not the same as criticism that comes from a loved one, but it's also not coming from a hateful place. Our focus may be more on the program results than the individual, but we do come to care deeply about the individual players as people. When you look through posts on the CU message boards, you see us even cheering on guys who built a relationship on the board but signed elsewhere (or transferred out of here) and wishing them the best in their new place. You'll see posts about guys getting a first job away from sports or having success in other aspects of their life. You'll see posts about supporting others directly or through organizations like Buffs4Life when a former CU athlete is in need of a helping hand.
We're certainly not perfect and some fans are assholes. Or drunk. But on balance, I think the overwhelming majority of us come from the right place.
(And the negative stuff would still piss me off way too much if it was my kid. :lol
Thanks Pop for finding us a QB! Did the Tennessee coach ever watch them throw/catch? What is happening with Q's recruitment right now?
Bummed Pop never came back. Seemed like a cool dude with good insight. That Montez is pretty funny though.

Q' is going to be playing QB this year and may actually have a good look at it in the UNM offense. That could end up being a solid fit and he'd be able to do his own thing outside of his hometown while also being at the closest MW school to home. Best wishes to him and Pops on a great fall.

thanks guys
just want to say thanks to you guys for all the good words, he is happy that he will get a chance at QB in that option system. Yale is still trying to get him, they want him to come to the game when they play Army because thats when they are going to have their alumni will be there. Anyway good luck this year guys, I'll be watching them Buffs do their thing... :thumbsup:

Good luck and I'd look closely at that Yale offer. That's tough to turn down in the scope of the next 50+ years.
Also, they're in the process of redoing the library. It looks nice.
Lot of things to balance. The future value of the Yale education and contacts, on the other hand at UNM he will be able to play in front of friends and family much more often.
Great thing is that this young man worked hard enough both on the field and in the classroom that he has the options.
My expectations are that no matter what he chooses things are going to work out well for him.
