Hope does let you know you are alive when it inevitably fades into heartbreak and disappointment.Man, I loved watching that video. And who knows, maybe @Darth Snow will end up being correct at the end of the day about the pending doom. But hope is a good thing in life, bitch.
I am not seeing any drop really. I have sold the NDSU, Cincinnati and KSt games. 2 Seats for each in sec 105 Row 42 on the aisle and I have netted $2700 after fees for those 6 tickets. Paid for my season tix essentially and I am going to the Baylor game as well as the OkSt game. Still have the Utah tix on the site for sale but plenty of time for those to sell as well.looking at my social media feeds and seeing a lot of advertising for single game tickets. also noting the lack of posts re: dynamic pricing driving ticket prices over $400 -- I'm assuming tickets are moving much slower this year than last.
first, if anyone has data confirming or contradicting my assumption, TIA for posting. I haven't counted dots on the sales page.
however, assuming I'm correct about tickets not selling like they did last year, I'm guessing the following factors in relative order of significance:
1. the shiny newness of the Sanders' era hit it's peak last year
2. the schedule is just not as attractive (no NU, and fans don't like the XII teams as much as the Pac 12 teams)
3. last year's results, especially the second half of the season, caused casual fans to check out a bit
4. Broncos fans are more engaged this year than last and local sports fans' entertainment dollars and time are going to the NFL
thoughts?
Pretty wild how much bigger the team is today compared to last year and the previous 10 years.
Looks like Tyler Brown got some reps at C.
You know that’s 12 players, right?Offensive 1s
X Sheppard
Y Wester
Z Hunter
A Horn
H Hart
RB Rolling 5 at the moment
RT Benson
RG Brown
C Zilinkas
LG Mayes
LT Seaton
QB Some new guy
The NCAA is REALLY apathetic these days.You know that’s 12 players, right?
Yes. Accounts for different personnel packages. Day one showed us using both 10 and 11, so I included the TE.You know that’s 12 players, right?
It has the chance to be elite with the overall talent and Shedeur.WR is crowded.
Hunter, Sheppard, Wester and Horn is a nasty starting 4 and that doesn’t even include Omarion Miller who has the talent to be WR2, Baby TO, Terrell Timmons who has proven himself at the P5 level, and then blue chips Drelon Miller and Kam Mikell. Throw in Kaleb Mathis who would have probably been a starter on any CU team of the past 20 years, and this is probably the deepest and most talented position group CU has had since the Barnett years.
Simply loaded. Should take some pressure off Travis tooWR is crowded.

WRs are an impressive group, last years group was very good.It has the chance to be elite with the overall talent and Shedeur.
Last year it seemed all the WR's were same stature and ability wise (outside of Travis). Shephard, Baby TO, and Timmons gives them those big bodied receivers they didn't have last year.
When your QB is going to throw for over 3,500 yards, a lot of guys get to eat.Crowded is poor loser wordage.
Loaded is true winning diction.
100%Need to be able to run the ball, too. I’m excited to see how the ground game progresses with safeties and LBs unable to crowd the LOS.
That and it never hurts a QB to be able to hand the ball off a couple times, not worry about getting hit or reading a defense, and then come up to the line at 3rd and 3.100%
Beyond all the situational benefits, if defenses have to put an extra guy in the box or cheat up a safety while respecting play action then Shedeur is going to be like he's playing a video game on easy mode.
Dang that comes off his hand really nicely. Ziiiippp...
Wearing #35 if you watch the practice videos.
Shedeur to Sheppard
I don’t remember being deep at receiver during the Barnett years. I remember having like one beast and one speedster per season.WR is crowded.

I was just more referring to any position group. I feel like we were deep at RB, LB and DB during the Barnett years. There were some good WR corps but nothing consistently deep/good.I don’t remember being deep at receiver during the Barnett years. I remember having like one beast and one speedster per season.
He and Mikell going to be studs
