I played an actual game on it in HS. Like playing on concrete, tackled a guy and it jarred me landing on him, can't imagine what it felt like for him. And the turf burns were brutal.

Last year Colorado was 82nd in total offense, 99th in ypp, dead last in the nation in rushing ypg AND ypc (I know it's about sacks), 64th in 3rd down conversion %, 67th in plays over 10 yards, 85th in plays over 20 yards, 110th in TFL allowed, 132nd(of 133) in sacks allowed, and 60th in scoring.

I don't give a damn about last year, especially against a ****ing FCS team
You raise an interesting point. Changing behavior and performance without materially changing personnel and culture and leadership can be quite difficult. CU has worked to improve on all fronts.
Your wife’s inability to stop ****ing her dealer for meth is an example of personnel and culture issues. Perhaps leave the trailer and be productive— maybe it will help with your personal development. And those around you…
No ****, we can look up the lines too.
Awww that's mean. This is the first time Vegas has put odds on his team and he is just excited and wanted to share.
Probably true. Somehow I work with about half of the NDSU fan base and they keep asking me about my thoughts on the spread. Ironically, Passerby is probably someone I am currently supervising. Get back to work!
I’m not sure I understand the tenor of this post.
Sounds somewhat excited, but has been talking **** on the Buffs at 9.5 the last few days. I’m confused.
Thank you for your interest in CU football. Your team on ESPN in a prime time slot must be a special moment. Enjoy!
When I see the team doing Fitness or Conditioning Cool Downs on the game field this past week, that makes me a bit irked. I have been a part of building various sports complexes and doing just repetitive running and conditioning and other things on a perfect game field, especially stopping or starting on end lines, yard lines, or other places causes that damage. There is no need to do that, and coaches sometimes just need to consider where to do cool downs or other things, preferably off the ends or just not on the field, but it still looks pretty awesome, and Prime complimented it, so let's goooooo
All major sports must play on grass, as much as I love Artificial Turf, big time competition must be on grass. Intensive training is best done on good artificial turf, but nothing beats grass for big events and player safety.
God I sound more like a boomer every day

You play good, they pay good
Had a chance to watch some of the NDSU vs Arizona game from 2022. There's a few things I'd suggest Buff fans buckle in for.
(1) their offensive line will be very good. It's always very good. OL is the one position where I don't give a crap about star-ratings and recruiting valuation. Coaching, development, synchronization/teamwork, scheme, weight-program etc are major major factors. They will be VERY good up front. They will test our DL, where we have a ton of new faces and we will undoubtedly make mistakes.
(2) Their talent level will be higher than most CU fans will expect. They will have speed and athletes. They won't blink or be shy of the bright lights.
I think NDSU will score points and run the ball. Their QB will be efficient and is a threat to run as well as throw. Could start in the Big12.
Their defense will be tested on the edges but will be strong up the middle.
This is going to be a tough test as an opener with so many new and moving pieces. NDSU will be sound and well coached, very discplined and surprisingly talented.

I’m not a gambler, but what I find amusing is - CU spread vs #2 FCS was the same but now exceeds #17 Ok St vs #1 FCS team…same weekend.
In 1994, #8 CU opened the season against northeast louisiana. we were all apoplectic because CU only lead 7-3 at the end of the first quarter. CU went on to win 48-13.
learnings?
1. this is not the same ndsu team or coaching staff as the one that has dominated at the lower level. CU is not the same talent level as the 94 team but is the most talented team we have had in at least 20 years.
2. openers like this do and should give a power conference team a heart flutter but the historical odds are stacked greatly against the upset here.
3. believe. we have an nfl qb and enough weapons and that should more than easily cover any early season mistakes.

2022 is ancient history & UA was not a good team in 2022
Yes, but I can’t disagree with anything @buffaholic wrote. NDSU is a better football team than both CSU and Stanford from last year. I hope the team comes ready to play.

It costs more to buy the BISON points. SDSU also pays more on the money. There is more confidence in the BISON than the jackrabbits, they aren't giving the BISON points away, but both teams are seen as giant killers. The Jacks just not quit as much. Why? They haven’t won in the FBS and OKS would be the pre-season favorite in the MVFC.
its a similar game to this one but the gamblers feel that starting the season OK State is perceived to be better than Co
definitely take the Jacks and the points but go 3 on the points for every 1 on the money if you are also going to play the money line for the upset. Take the under (54.5) we have the game 28-22 Jacks.

- Coaching turnover
- Portal turnover
- Injuries
CU also didn't have dudes like Green, Hayes, Okunlola, Nwanwko, & Buell on the DL...no guys like Hodge/McKinney opposite of Hunter.

They are a great football team but they never beat me. I don’t play football, heck I hardly watch it. I just study statistics and draw conclusions from the results. Right now SDSU is a 2 pt pre-season favorite over NDSU 28-26
Yeah we can tell.
You still haven't answer the production question I asked you earlier.
