Predictions for RMS

I think that we got rid of cancers such as Steve Fairchild, DC Larry Kerr, Pete Thomas and K Ben DeLine, and WR Matt Yemm.

Improvement will be seen and even with the roster turnover we have more experience than CU does and apparently more top ranked players

Sorry bud, but you don't just snap your fingers and fix the mess someone like Fairhawk left behind in one offseason. McElhawk & Co. have their work cut out for them. You'd best get patient quickly, and that's assuming that your new staff is actually going to improve anything. It's a tall task to get a lowly, irrelevant program to the degree CSU is to be competitive.

And please, continue bragging about Skelton as a reason you're going to be so great this year. Look, great story, he works hard, yada yada yada. But we're not going to fear a walk on who had a couple DII offers.
 
Tonga hasn't been cleared yet, but his transcripts come in tomorrow I believe. Apparently he is doing well in his math class (the only one he needs, but otherwise he's cleared).

a 300lb DL who has never played a snap is better than a 250lb DT like we've had the last few years

Isn't this the clown who was trying to make a case for the sheep based on the experience factor and the value of all the returning starters.

And by the way, CSU could play 2,3,4, or 5 DL, the linebackers are undersized and suck as well.
 
Nope. Ranked in the nation

I read my Phil Steele very regularly, and I know that OMFGasm is dead wrong on this. Colorado has way higher rated players across the board than CSU. I'll try to update later when I have it in front of me.

Much rep awaits the man who shows that once again Gasm is not just being a homer but is instead straight lying.
 
Our OL against their front seven is the worst matchup on the field for CSU and that is really all we need to win by 10-14 points.
 
Actually I wouldn't be surprised to see those guys ranked higher than our players. However, Richburg, Nwoke, and Gillmore were so good they couldn't manage a 1st down for more than 2 quarters against us last year. And that was against an even worse defense
 
I don't really care what any Pundit said. I watched the CU-CSU game closely last year and I could not believe how slow the CSU team was especially on defense. They had one of the easiest schedules in the country last year and went 3-9. Now here is the kicker - they have not really upgraded their talent from last year. If CU looses to CSU, it will have a major impact on Embree's rebuilding...the fans are going to come loose at the seams and I would not blame them. CU should beat them by 2 scores.

They're slow but they look faster because they are also small.:lol:

This is a team that has gone 3-9 three straight years against an MWC schedule and playing mostly FCS or very low BCS level schools OOC. That was with the recruiting boost they had at the start of the Fairchild era. Now those players are gone and they have the low level recruits he got the last 3 years plus the class that Sparkles brought in which was one of the worst in the country.

The few difference makers they had got stupid and thrown out of school.

The only thing I worry about is CU overlooking the sheep, that is the only way that CSU makes it a game.
 
If we lose this game I will lose my **** and will be calling for everyone's head.

:yeahthat:

I don't care how young, inexperienced, or whatever else. We better not be losing to a 3-9 non BCS school with a new coach and on paper much less talent than CU.
 
If we lose to CSU, I'm moving on to basketball season. This will be the earliest I have ever done that.
 
Hard to say until we hear some word from practices and the dreaded "injury report" but as we sit today, on just size, speed and athlete's

I look forward to seeing this

I don't see them scoring 10.

Buffs - 27
Goats - 6

I've also got to run to the store in a few minutes so I'm gonna pick up a mag to expose Gasm's lie(s).
 
Alright, this lamblick expounding on the relative merits and weights of o and d linemen is as valuable as my comentary on Latvian folk dancing's impact on Eurasian wheat futures.

Just for fun, a 300 lb d-lineman carrying 50 lbs of fat will quickly be an o lineman any real program, because he won't have the wheels to hold it down, especially if he doesn't have a decent rotation to spell him.

My 12 year old daughter giggled like an 12 year old girl reading your post. Of course, To be fair, she does know something about college football.

Someone please hit him up in appreciation for Latvian folk dancing smack.

Agree with Nik on the Latvian folk dancing comparison.

Two problems for CSU with the bolded. CSU isn't a real program, if they moved the fat slobs to the O-line they wouldn't have anyone left to line up on defense. The other problem is that you are assuming that they are smart enough to play O-line. You as much as anyone should know that the mental demands of O-line are a whole different ballgame than those of DT.

Considering their choice of schools and the reported issues academically with qualifying/ eligibility I would question their mental aptitude for the O-line. They may not have a choice but to play DT.

I dont disagree with your points, but, you'd be amazed at the intellectual renaissance some d-linemen have when they are moved to the smart side. Maybe it's osmosis, but o-line is the last stop, if they can't hack it there they are out of town on the next thing smoking.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all about some guys waking up mentally when moved. Trouble for these guys is that it has to be there before you can wake it up. It's one thing not to be using it, it's another not to have it to use. :lol:

Clearly not. Read the magazine.

Polk, Major and I think Pericak are the only ranked players from CU.

I find it funny CU fans can't even read
 
CU averaged 108 yds rushing in 2011. This year they have nobody to throw the ball to as of yet. Canty? Spruce?

CU is going to have a hard time scoring, no deep threats. This years offense is going to look like 06.

Still should beat a csu team who's defense will be awful. CU's defense is going to get a huge dose of Nwoke, they should be able to win by 3-7 points.

can someone who is not a CU fan call me and tell me what this says?
