People talk about HCP and nepotism with his sons but overlook the greatest instance of it within the program. SMDH.

Was just curious why he didn’t stay at linebacker coach, but I guess it was too much of a stretch to move Hart. Edge is looking good now right?
VERY GOOD.
I think your blog has been good as well.
The only issue I had with the Ga Tech preview was this:
The Yellowjackets return two excellent guards, but it is a partially rebuilt offensive line. That doesn’t mean bad, but they have to replace both tackles and the center. The incoming center is young, but got some reps last year and looks promising. The tackles are experienced but transfers from lower levels (I think one projected starter was from the Ivy League). I would say both CU and Tech have some question marks at that position group, which makes game 1 unpredictable.

We have 4 or 5 guys I’d feel comfort starting on the edge.
McNeill was Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week 2 of the last 5 weeks of the Big 12 regular season last year. If he can build on that, he'll be an All Big 12-level player.
Two coaches have told me that Barnes has taken a big step forward this year. If he's as good as they say, CU should have 2 really stout 3 techs/tackles. Add in experienced backups like Coleman and Lightfoot and BDS starting to show up, and we should be good.
Of course, we'll find out if this is all smoke and mirrors in about 4 days....

TBH, I'm way more worried about our CBs than I am our LBs or IDL.McNeill was Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week 2 of the last 5 weeks of the Big 12 regular season last year. If he can build on that, he'll be an All Big 12-level player.

This. They will try to ball control the entire game and physically wear CU down. We need to get up early for that to change but expect it to look just like NDSU game from last year. Tech has better athletes all around than NDSU, but I am hoping CU plays less man to man where NDSU gashed CU early in last years game.

Well, I was also worried about our CBs a couple weeks ago, and got a lot of push backs here.
In general, I am way higher on our O than our D this year
I'm not nearly as concerned about CB and think they are going to be solid, if not pretty good, but it's still a downgrade from last year when we had 12 out there and our CB4 was Colton Hood.
McKinney is largely viewed as a top 5 CB prospect for next year's draft. His biggest issue was turning his head and looking for the ball, but he's supposedly been looking really good this camp. I also think Hodge is going to be playing at an All Conference level in the slot.
RJ Johnson has looked pretty good from all accounts, so if Teon Parks has pulled ahead of him and is the other outside CB starter right now, that bodes well. Tyrecus Davis has also looked really good and should be a great backup/rotational guy the slot and Dime packages.

Ugh - CU was so close in that game
Do we have anyone on the team or staff who was there for that game? People get hyped for hilarious stuff
He’s literally the only person on either GT or CU who was there that day.
Schmitty was there
Payback for Rodney’s leg by von miller - just as the immortal JT says what goes around comes around
Amazing.
Parks was a post spring addition so had some ground to make up but he’s got game.
I wouldn’t say easy money. GT is good.
Yep it's going to be a tough battle. Don't know what to expect Friday at all.
