[Highlander]

this is cool but someone needs to get Dad a CU t-shirt.

I’d like to watch a game there…

Good to know Cleveland won’t need a NIL package.

Special teams balled out.

Agreed. And also, for the love of all that is holy, For next season, Prime needs to find a kid who can consistently get his kickoffs out of the end zone like every other team in the country.

It might be Stoyanovich. He could progress from occasionally in the end zone to frequenting the end zone.

Either way, the improvement in kick coverage week to week after Baylor is so encouraging. Last year left real questions about the staff being able to make a team better as a season goes on. So far, the in season growth has been great for this team in a lot of areas.

On the plus side, we are having open kicking tryouts on Monday like ASU is.

I'm impressed with the team. We've seen remarkable progress thru the season, year over year, and obviously from where we were before Prime.

I don't think we are playoff bound as the big12 has some really good teams this year, but I think we will be nipping at the heels.

I look forward to the rest of the season, our first bowl of the Prime era, and to next year.

Good lord, man! Have we learned nothing through the years?!?

Gotta bookmark that post to remember who to blame should things go south.

I just texted my friend to ask him how big a leg his daughter has.

Pole dancing is great for core and leg strength and flexibility.

Is being StripperU finally going to play off?

I think you meant, “pay off” and yes, it has for years. Mostly in ones.

Benson and Mayers coming in has been huge

I had to leave at the end of the 1Q and listen on the radio and loosely watch the second half at a friends house. Did they come in for Harden and Houston on the right side?

I hope you provided some explanation.

Coming from you that question might be concerning.

Hey - I've known that girl since birth, so ew. In a general sense though, she's a sophomore at ASU, so it's good chance that many on this board could be caught ogling some of her classmates.

 

[Alfred91]

Again?

Goddammit.

How many of you guys think Prime was reminding Fifita that he will have an open spot at QB next year in their brief conversation on the CU sideline today?

As a backup that would be just fine.

 

[Birch1]

Agreed. And also, for the love of all that is holy, For next season, Prime needs to find a kid who can consistently get his kickoffs out of the end zone like every other team in the country.

Working on it it seems.

Legit question, are we more mentally and physically tough on the road?

Yes. Lots of distractions at home these days. Personally, I would prefer we put a moratorium on celebrity attendance for a while.

We've officially been jaybirded. It was nice while it lasted.

 

[Da Lama]

Just watched the highlights. This D is pretty damn good. We made the plays necessary on O to put it away but the hero is the D. Good damn week of football

Yeah, and can we acknowledge that K-State is pretty frickin' good?

 

[Uncle Ken]

We've officially been jaybirded. It was nice while it lasted.

All those seasons with five wins and no bowl. The B_Walk and the Oregon State game. mother****er.

 

[ahoelsken]

IMO, the huge, enormous, gargantuan difference in this team is we are DRAMATICALLY more physical than we have been since at least 2016. We upped our game after the KSU loss and physically dominated Arizona, just like we did UCF. 3 straight road wins for the first time since 1996. That’s great coaching.

Prime has turned this program around in 1 1/2 years. We’re seriously dangerous at the skilled positions with an elite group of receivers. And we’re getting more physical by the week. And Prime made one of the best DC hires in the country.

It’s extraordinarily impressive, we can’t pay Prime enough to stay at CU.

Give both him and Livingston raises. Livingston should be one of the highest paid DCs in the game next year.

 

[Da Lama]

Two things can be true at the same time.
Prime has done great things for this program. And he plays daddy ball.

Quick quiz: One of these things is not like the other. One is a successful merit-based pairing. The other is not.

A) Dan Hawkins and Cody Hawkins
B) Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders

Random question. What is the reason we line up spread and then shift on all the extra points? Is it just to set up a fake if we ever wanted to?

I think so? We actually pulled the fake last year and got it.

They did a lot of shuffling. At first Benson was in at RT, then later at RG and Houston back at RT. I only noticed Mayers at LG, seems like he was there a lot, but in that early substitution with Benson at RT I didn't catch who was RG.

My presumption was it doesn’t let the defense line up properly to try to block the kick

They are intentionally kicking short
