Say what you want, but sumo's know leverage and hand fighting. Good for him.

True, but wrestlers rarely, if ever, make good football players. When they try, they tend to quit in a week or two. It's a different game once they put those pads on.

I hope he gets a lot of plays.

I always hated blocking stubby strong guys, hard to get leverage, but I imagine this cat won’t have the lateral speed to be much more than a speed bump until he acclimates. Altitude will also ride his back for a while.

That’s my fear with 6’8” tackles.

You should have other fears. Can I recommend clowns?

Not mutually exclusive.

That’s a girl scout cookie.

By far my favorite. ****ers crush my diet every year

UGH! My daughter is a Girl Scout. I don’t even want to hear Girl Scout and cookie used in the same sentence until February 2024…

So does my wife. But she can’t play football.

And she's Japanese!

They looked terrible. Their starting QB went out late and the backup looked better (albeit in garbage time.)

We should win by 4+ TD’s

 

[dio]

I have felt that they should have a big step forward this year after the recruiting has picked up.

I won't shed a tear if they blow chunks

 

[ladyblaise]

Maybe their coach should have rode statues and did restaurant reviews.

Or maybe it was ridiculous tryna make a great coach look ridiculous.

Media is feeling kinda dumb today.

I would feel bad for them, but remember clearly how they ran their mouths for years in the early 2000s oh nooooo, anway

I think they're in financial hardship after that period during which they made a booster their AD and he spent well beyond their means. Now they're treating football like CU did all those years. Got to be an institutional issue, because Norvell won at Nevada and is a good coach.

BVP running his mouth = curse of the Billy goat.

I thought all they needed was a shiny new on campus stadium and their problems would be over.

Hey ladyblaise !! Great to see you here.

Seeing various tweets speculating that the CSU game might be picked up by ESPN for Game Day broadcast.

That seems odd that ESPN would come to Boulder for a game against CSU but maybe ESPN is trying to get in on the Prime/CU hype with Fox getting CU's first 2 games on Big Noon.

Did you mean the USC game??

Has TV been decided for SC and Oregon? Have to think both ESPN and Fox are fighting over them hard right now

No to the question and I'm sure you're right about those 2 networks fighting over those games
