Proctor kind of stunk the whole year. Better at seasons end for sure.

Stating the obvious, being able to run when they want to and stop the run when they need to will be key. I have no idea what to expect from the OL but I’d be happy if they were better at run blocking than pass blocking. Using the run to set up the pass wouldn’t be bad at all.
Just based on the practice on Friday, that's totally the case. Even Seaton had some great plays in the running game.

Keeler actually wrote a somewhat positive article about the Buffs' open practice in Denver.

Awesome! I will most certainly not be reading it!
Theoretically, if he gets more clicks on the positive articles, there is less incentive to be a cvnty writer 99% of the time
Not sure where to put this, but HOW FVCKING STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO HOLD A CONCERT ON YOUR HOME FIELD LESS THAN 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE FIRST GAME??!!
Holy sh!t. It’s not as if the turf isnt always trashed by mid October every season anyway, our “braintrust” needs to speed up the process?
I’m at a loss.

I’m at a loss.
i heard on DNVR that they're replacing the whole turf after the concert. so, maybe not as bad as you think?
That feels like a quick turnaround for full turf replacement but I also don’t know ****
Take it to the pet peeve thread.
Is a week and a half enough time to let new turf settle?
i'm no expert, but it's longer than frequently is provided. should be starting to root, especially with our solid grounds crew.
the concert was scheduled long before they moved the game from saturday to thursday so i'd guess the grounds folks would be happier with 2 weeks but okay with 10 days. payoff of the concert and being the only game on ESPN on a thursday night is worth it (assuming travis or 2 don't get injured)
Not with our crew.
I fully expect to see chunks flying up everywhere next Thursday.
Is this according to your extensive knowledge of turf management?
I was at the concert last night and thought of poor Ryan the turf guy.
truth, kids these days don't know how to handle their liquor on a thursday night in august
Watching so many crappy Soccer field remakes has me worried, but they have already likely stripped it and installed the new field, hopefully with thick turf rolles that can grow together in 10 days.
Not the absolute best plan of attack this close to the game, but gotta trust em

1000 chunks?
Frankly, less need.
In the past, sports media was the only access point for info on teams, really. I would read any article because there was not that much out there. But it was rarely very good. Now it’s just about getting clicks, so the role of some media is simply looking for problems to magnify for that purpose.
Usually takes two weeks, but the sod won't be 4'×2' rolls either
So much for our speed advantage. That sh!t will be coming up in chunks. Chunks, baby!
It’ll be fine. There will also be 3.5 weeks after the NDSU game before the second home game. The amount of money made on the concert likely made it worth it
I was kind of hoping that we'd just accept the post-concert turf for game one and then re-sod. But Ryan and the team are professionals, they know what they're doing.
