We would have heard by now if she was going. Its such a hassle to get her out of state.I know it doesn't happen often, but I'm really hoping Ralphie makes the trip.
she went to Georgia several years ago, and this is MUCH closer.

It’s gonna be to hot And the hassle associated with it.
Ok- so I couldn't let this go and actually looked into it. I used the official Utah depth chart released this week and DNVR's projected starters for CU, comparing height and weight. Takeaways:
- On the edges of the lines (Tackles and EDGE positions) CU compares favorably with Utah.
- On the interior positions of the lines CU gives up a significant size advantage to Utah in terms of weight
- Running back/LB/WR positions are a significant size advantage to Utah
- Defensive backfield is pretty much a wash (except for Cormani, who is 165 and much smaller than all the other corners
- Overall, CU is roughly as tall as Utah, but much lighter than Utah.
I heard this as well. Are we really that small. I know we’d like to have a few more 300 pounders on the lines, but I didn’t think overall team size was that much of an issue.
'What do I have to do?' Inside the phone calls that helped shape Coach Prime
When Deion Sanders decided to get into college coaching, he leaned on Mickey Andrews, 81, his former defensive coordinator at Florida State.

Just different style. We are much faster than Utah. You can't just compare the size for skill positions.
Interior positions of the lines is much bigger problem IMO.
To the mystique, yes. Mystique is just reputation BS anyway.
The casual fan only knows Prime for the flash and the commercials.
Those of us paying attention know that CP knows how to build a foundation based on hard work and competition.
If the Buffs get embarrassed it will be used as a motivational tool by CP and the coaching staff of proven winners.
Also, the players who don’t perform will either step up or be replaced.
This is now a put up or shut up program. Full stop.
Average OL is 6'-4" 302lb nationwide at the FBS level.
Colorado is listed an average of 6'-4" 296lbs.
Colorado is listed an average of 6'-4" 296lbs.
Except that Coach Lew's offense calls for those OLs to be on the move a lot and also go fast at altitude. I'd like more size, but it's a very different offensive concept from Utah which wants its OL & RBs to wear teams down.
True. OL and skill positions, size is more related to your offensive style. That said, I think the size of DL is a legit concern.
The DL has me thinking we need to score points and get opponents into passing mode.
Average FBS DL: 6'-3" 270lbs
Average CU DL: 6'-3" 277lbs
Average CU DL: 6'-3" 277lbs
10-15 pounds between players is a minimal difference when you're at this level. A 6-2 280lb DT who is stronger, has a low center, and is quicker can absolutely destroy a 6-4 315 OL who plays tall and stiff. The era of road graders ruling the LOS is dying.
They also view the DL as athletes that need to play at a high pace and run to the ball on every play. They are athletic and long, and built well to hold up against fast paced no huddle offenses like USC, UO, and UCLA. A bad matchup for us will be teams like UTAH, but if we can get points on the board early and often, that will play to our strengths.

Those late 80s thru the 90s FSU defenses were so damn scary.
Mickey Andrews the GOAT
Yeah. As cool as it would be to have her there on opening week, you just can't get any more fitting than Coach Prime running out behind Ralphie for the first time at Folsom against Nebraska on the prime time slot on national TV. Almost too good to be true.
Yeah. The OCs & QB Coaches got most of the career hype from that time at FSU, but Andrews was the man. Consistently elite run defense and seemed to have an All American DB every year.
If the standard is going to be the 455 lb kid TCU brought in this year than Georgia is small compared to TCU.Just looking at the starting OL/DL, TCU looks to be much bigger there than CU too.
