In the post game you could tell Tad was not happy about how the non-con looks. You could also tell he wasn't happy with whoever put it together ultimately (fvck you RG).

Pretty sure that Tad does his own schedule. All sports do, other than football unless it's a negotiated series.
Didn't sound like it in this case. Maybe he was forced into something or had to accomodate some things he didn't want to.
Heard the same thing, I think it was more of upset about the circumstances, but Tad does do his own scheduling.
But that said, Grambling was part of a Pac12-HBCU partnership, Tennessee was the backend of a deal that was made in 2020 by Tad (via Tomlinson/Kim English), then you have your thanksgiving tournament. Tad was able to make it more of a east coast swing, so that's good. But in the end RG had pretty much nothing to do with it.
Maybe the Grambling game? The HBCU matchups happened at the conference level as a Pac 12 thing.Didn't sound like it in this case. Maybe he was forced into something or had to accomodate some things he didn't want to.

WHO would know??? He's the clown who never gets invited to any!!! The reason why is very apparent!

Tad's "system" is just so difficult : Work hard on defense and rebounding, first! Effort counts more than "talent"!
So very, very hard when you have all the "potential" in the world to be a star!!

Occur to you that one of the reasons the rebounding was "off" is because our guys' defense was pushed way out so as to not give up any wide open threes???
Kinda hard to be two places at the same time outsIde of a QUANTUM UNIVERSE.
Either way...Fvck Rick.
The rebounding is going to be a struggle relative to the last few years because you’ve lost one of the best space eating bigs who boxed out as good as anyone in Evan Battey, and a just terrific ball hawk in Jabari Walker. Those two were a dominant rebounding tandem.
That tattoo sure reflects his attitude.

I was thinking about that, too. If there was a way for him to redshirt, it would really set up our front court pipeline.
Nik, get this **** out of here. I don't care if it's factually true. This is something I can yell about involving RG and you're going to let me have this dammit.
Instead of "mom" or his GF, or some cause or person he cares about, Hadley has this:
I thought DeS was 'backing off', giving Hadley more room or something, and I think it effected DeS's output. I think in time, the 2 of them will both be going full speed together.
Looks like Hadley is going to be crucial.
Go Buffs.

Grambling State is the trappiest of trap games. With Tennessee looming, does Tad and team even prep for this game? This is a "get out of here with a dub no matter what" situation to me. Win by 6 or 8 or whatever and stay healthy for Tennessee
Yeah, I'm pretty nervous about this game. 1st game on the road, small arena, raucous crowd, itching to beat a P5 school. We have to pull this win out or it will severly hurt the resume.

AC-12/SWAC LEGACY SERIES: Friday's Colorado-Grambling State game is part of the Pac-12 Conference/Southwest Athletic Conference Legacy Series, an educational and basketball scheduling partnership between the two leagues.
The 2022 edition features six men's and six women's Pac-12 programs beginning a home-and-home series with SWAC institutions. The series began with the Oregon men hosting Florida A&M on Nov. 7, an 80-45 victory for the Ducks.
Colorado will be the first to be a road opponent as the Buffaloes visit Grambling and marks the first time the Tigers have hosted a Power 5 opponent in their history. Grambling will make a return visit to Boulder in 2023-24.
Friday morning, Colorado will tour the Eddie G. Robinson museum near the Grambling campus. The museum is a landmark dedicated to recognizing the contributions of the school's legendary football coach as a source of education and inspiration.

They have Carte'are Gordon who was a very hyped recruit out of St. Louis. Early in HS was considered a top 25 player in his class, fell back to Top 50-75 range by the time he graduated. Went to SLU for a semester and put up 9 points, 4 boards, 2 blocks, and a assist as a true freshman. Then transferred to Depaul never played, went Juco and is now at Grambling.
He had 18 points, 14 boards, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and an assist in his first game at Grambling. He's 6'9 240 should be a good challenge inside for us tonight.
In looking at their guards they are a bunch of seniors. Terrance Lewis was a contributor at Iowa State for a few years and put up 13 in his first game at Grambling.
They return 3 out of their top 5 scorers from last year and got a bunch through the transfer portal. Their first game the transfers seemed to do better than their returners which lends me to think they are pretty improved from last year.
I put absolutely ZERO stock in anything most teams do against typical opening opponents. Not saying Grambling won't be somewhat of a challenge on the road, but you can't count stats against what is basically a D4 opponent (UNT-Dallas) that plays here:
And that's an upgrade from where they have been playing.
