Did they seriously tell you that? Wow
It will be nice if/when The Athletic picks up CU coverage. I have to assume they're working on it, as they've nearly filled out all their pro-sports staff.
I just think it is going to take sustained success by the Buffs AND people in the Denver/Metro area are going to need to really show a natural interest in it. The media will come around.

Some good stuff on the Ralphie Report but no one comments on it. Sad because the Rockies, Broncos and Nuggets sites kill.
So the Buffs need to be top 10 out of 110++ D1A programs to get talked about and yet the Broncos are in the bottom 10 of NFL teams and that's all they talk about. Interesting bar he has set there.
By the way, I made the tragic error of assuming the Raiders were good because of how well they played early against the Broncos. The Broncos came back and won, so then (logic) the Broncos were pretty solid this year in my mind.
Nope. They're both ****ty.

I think they'd like to talk about CU more, but ratings is what drives their content so all Broncos all the time. Personally I'm ok with Mike Evans not talking about CU Football cause he's really really really really bad at it.
Mike Evans is awful with everything. I remember he had some hot takes on the Avs last season and I ended up mixing it up with him on Twitter. And he has an annoying voice. One of the primary drivers as to why I don't listen to The Fan anymore.
Yep, they said if I had nothing positive to contribute to stop texting...
Said I was positive DBag was a complete ****ing idiot
They said to stop texting...I said no...
Called the show a couple times also, they wouldn't put me on...
called them chicken ****s and said I would continue to text then.
Holy **** man. Get a grip.

The vast majority of local sports media can feast on a bag of ___s. I’d much rather draw the attention of national sports media — and that’s about to happen.
Yeah this is the rub. We all want the local media to start talking about the Buffs, but none of them really know much about the Buffs. Nobody that frequents AllBuffs would be satisfied with any amount of Buffs coverage from The Fan because it'd be the most dry, basic, and uneducated commentary. The Denver Post ran an article on CU's offense in preseason, and didn't even mention Shenault. That's the kind of coverage we're asking for more of, tbh, so I'll just stick to reading AllBuffs, 247, and the guys like Klatt and other CFB analysts who know what they're talking about.
They are getting asked about the Buffs now. What we need to make sure of is that the "experts" they talk to actually know anything. Klatt's a great guest and representative. McChesney and Logan are alums that stay connected, but they both have opinions that are influenced heavily by prep football and wanting to see local players get scholarship opportunities at CU. The worst is when they turn to guys like Alfred Williams as the "expert". If you don't visit the team or coaches and don't pay much attention to college football, you are not an expert on the Buffs simply because you played for them 25 years ago. The positive here, though, is a guy like Alfred can quickly make himself an expert with the access he would have -- and he will if he keeps getting asked the questions and talking Buffs is important for his job.

Totally checks out, raising a family means no movies for 19 years.
I would love for Alfred to get back into the know with the Buffs and really ramp up his talk about them on the radio. Love him or hate him, he drives that show (which is the highest rated sports show in the market) because of his personality. Chad Brown is the closest thing this market has to a Buffs expert. He is fully engaged with the college game as he calls them for P12N. He should be the main resource on that station when discussing Buffs and let the other idots learn.
For sure on Brown. Likewise, but to a lesser extent, Bloom stays connected and also continues to work in CFB media. He's a solid expert interview for any of these shows if/when they want to talk CFB and Buffs.
Clough does his research which is a big step compared to some of the others on the station. I disagree with some of his thoughts on college football and he is clearly a CSU fan but he uses logic and connections when talking about the CU football and basketball programs. I think Zach Bye is the only one outside or Alfred to go up to Boulder and see a football game this year though which is absolutely crazy if you ask me, he is the newest one and has no connections to the state.
Already did. Heard that as well. So damn irritating, and Rick Lewis tries to at least be intelligent and fair when discussing football.
Oh FFS.

Rick Lewis is a clown. I'm still confused as to what his qualifications to be the color guy on 850 KOA......
I used this excuse for having never seen Step Brothers. I'm not kidding when I say I never even heard of the movie. Sure enough, it came out when my oldest was 4 and my youngest 1. Everyone laughed at me. I did go back and watch it within the next month. It was reasonably funny, but not as good as they made it out to be.
Just remember, don't be obsessed with your desires Danny. The Zen philosopher, Basho, once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.'
Primarily, he has good chemistry with Dave Logan. He played football in high school, a bit in college, and some a semi pro fashion so he has a pretty good idea of what is going on.
Not crazy at all. To someone new to the Denver sports scene, the current state of affairs with the all-consuming Broncos focus with so little attention paid to everything else is what's crazy. It's absolutely bizarre.
To put it in perspective, here's a hypothetical. Let's say that this week 2 things happen: 1) Undefeated & ranked Buffs win at USC; and, 2) Backup player on Broncos is placed on IR and someone gets promoted from the practice squad to fill the 53. Which do you think will get more air time and inches of print in the Denver sports media?
