Only thing better is watching transplants slip, slide, or hide from the snow and ice when they find their Subarus aren’t tanks or that keeping their pickups on the road requires some knowledge and skill.

I got a call from my former Californian neighbor when she slid off her driveway a couple days ago - it literally took ten seconds to get her unstuck.

This announcement stuff is way out of hand.

When OU is curb stomping KU next fall I am sure this will be delicious.
 
He’s ranked 1,370 in the nation why the **** is he doing elaborate signing day reveals? I’ve never even heard of this kid until day.

This town used to get 6-10 inches of snow and not miss a beat. No school closures nothing....everyone just went to work. Now, its like the apocalypse every time it snows. Thankfully global warming has ended the snow, here in the front range so we don’t have to worry about much. Now we just have skin cancer

I was talking about this yesterday. We never once had a snow day, not once in my whole life. The only time they closed the county down was when it snowed 2’ in 2003 and I was on “spring” break!! I was pissed.

We’re the same age. Did you not go to CU during that epic 2006 fall semester where they cancelled finals? I looked like a genius amongst my friends because I had two kegerators ready to go.

Hahaha ****, I meant more K-12 but damn. Wasn’t it like December 14th or something? I kind of spaced that day, they closed down the whole campus. I took the bus from Westminster and it was a **** show, I never made it. If I remember correctly a few days later it was a massive snowstorm and I was working at Colorado mills mall at pac sun and it came so ****ing fast in the middle of the day and they closed the mall mid-day and my roommate gave me a ride there because my car was in the shop and I was ****ing STUCK in the blizzard freezing my ****ing ass off waiting for an RTD bus because he couldn’t drive his camaro down there. I ended up having to go to market street station and my sister picked me up downtown at like 10:30 at night and I left the mall at like 2. Worst day of my life, lol, cars were stuck all over the highway.

All the big snowstorms when I was growing up hit on a Friday almost without fail.

Well, shoot. Here I was thinking I’d jog your memory about some good snow days. It was like 3 or 4 different blizzards over a 3 week span I think. There were definitely people that got screwed by not being able to raise a grade with finals being canceled.

Just the third class among the top 45 this decade and 6th to finish in that threshold since 2005... yet we have people already doubting MT's recruiting o_O.

Calm down, nobody is doubting him. But 45 is 45, are we supposed to jump for joy over that? That’s how you create goal posts, “oh well it was his 1st class so 45 is great!!” What comes after that? “Oh well it’s just his 1st season and he hasn’t gotten “his” players yet.” “It’s just his 2nd class and when he gets all his players in place we’ll improve and start landing top 25 classes!!!”

I think he can do it but I’m ****ing sick of talking about it. Somebody just ****ing do it. If Tennessee can land players that are almost 100’s there’s no reason we can’t, they’re SO BAD!

I've seen all sorts of kicking and screaming over the boards about how we didn't finish strong. Fact of the matter is he had 8 weeks to not only sell our program to new recruits but also reaffirm the kids that were already committed. Let's not pretend these kids view CU as a national powerhouse that should sell itself. I still don't really understand how we convinced Ham to flip, commit and sign so quickly.

You’re putting words in my mouth now. I know what the coach is up against and if you’re here enough I’ve said this on numerous occasions about the hurdles we have with recruiting. But MT said this is a no excuses program so no excuses. I agree with you, I think we finished fine all things considered. I have hope for the future but it’s still an average class, C grade. MT did the talking and so I’m going to go off that, time to see the results. I think we’re all just sick of hope, we want some ****ing results.

Put in context. In a normal year, this is a C class. In a transition year, it’s actually highly regarded as a very good class, in context.

Exactly. If you take a look at other transition classes I think we did very well.

14. Ohio State
32. North Carolina
45. Colorado
48. West Virginia
51. Georgia Tech
60. Maryland
62. Kansas State
65. Kansas
67. Texas Tech
73. Louisville

Well enough to beat USC? That's the goal correct?

“Put in context.” It’s as if nobody actually reads anything anyone else says around here. I like the class and you can “put it in context” if that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. But, I’ll just stick to reality that we have to be better to get better. Tucker understands this, he came from Georgia and understands the importance.

Good pieces here, some good players, large lineman, there’s stuff to like. But it still isn’t even close to where we have to be transition class or not.
