I hope these kids ball out. Not their fault Mel left, or that we hired a box of dryer sheets as a head coach
I don’t blame him for transferring one bit. I also don’t wish him well or good luck and won’t be upset if he doesn’t do much there and is just a guy at Oregon. When money is involved they are no longer amatuers who deserve our respect and praise no matter what because… student athlete
So someone has anger management issues.
I have a similar opinion and I’m not mad. It’s like a free agent in the NFL who left the team who drafted him for a bigger contract with a division rival. I get it, but I will never root for that player to succeed again as a football player in college.
“Not rooting for” is dramatically different between hoping he never plays again and has a meaningless job.
Ha good point. I definitely don’t hope bad things happen in his life. I guess I’m just not someone is going to hope he wins the Thorpe Award so CU looks stupid and won’t really care if he ends up as just a guy at Oregon

Your approach is fair. Others want revenge. Hardens the heart.

You think Gonzo is looking forward to the game in Folsom next November? Circled in green on his calendar already.
Why though? To show the coaches who definitely didn’t want him to transfer that he’s as good as we all know he is?
WTF? Doubt that he has hard feelings about CU. Just recognized his options are much better with Oregon. No ****ing brainer.
I'm not going to cheer for him, he is no longer a Buff.
I can certainly understand him doing it though. I love CU and love the Buffs but frankly if I were a standout HS player and saw what was going on in Boulder it would be hard to turn down other options.
For the guys who are here who came in with the idea of helping build a winner only to see KD take over and kill all hope I can't blame them for going someplace else.
Gonzo is going to get paid enough in the NFL that he can get over feeling bad about going to a rival. To be honest if I were in his situation I would probably do the same thing.

He’s got pride and he’s going to enjoy playing on a team that understands how to win.
Playing for CU was a personal embarrassment.

Lanning will open his eyes to higher level concepts, likely in 3-4 Star system. I bet Oregon ditches boundary and field concepts at CB.
I bet he still has friends on the team that he cares about. He got a better deal. Not really a revenge based decision.
ASU begs to differ.
He’ll miss practicing against our prolific offense day in day out

Didn’t. See. This. One. Coming. Though, instead of “committed” it should say “poached”. Oregon can go duck themselves …

Old people make misrakes too. Threw my back out last fall from all the leaves.

He definitely looked better in Black & Gold. Just saying..."Lets [sic] finish what we started." Lots of thought went into that. LOFL.
I think that most of us have a certain amount of green for which we would willingly abandon the Buffs for a few years.

After Spring football concludes, there will be a team celebration awarding 25 walk-ons with scholarships.
I think it will be at the end of fall camp, not spring practice, but yeah.
We're going to look like an FCS team against half of our opponents next year.
Who will have more scholarship players remaining... Hawaii or Colorado?
