I've noticed this too. Additionally, the lack of an opponent look-alike thread is another strong indicator some of us have stopped drinking the Kool Aid.

and next comes disproportionate interest in basketball from members that don't seem all that into hoops during the actual season.
This loss was a kick in the nuts, not because we lost, but because how we lost, and what we think that reveals.
I'm struggling to get excited for this weekend's game, and once again hate myself for wasting energy on college football at all.
But I also know I can't quit this team and this sport, so I just get dragged through it.

Shiloh will not be getting drafted...not on ability at least.
my relationship with sports has changed a lot since moving to Colorado.
I was much more fanatical a decade ago.
Today, I still love the live game experience, the energy, the pageantry, the crowds, all of it. But my desire to watch sports on TV has decreased sigfnicantly. And I don't follow recruiting or drafts or trades. I don't keep up with other teams in the same division / conference / league. I don't know much about my teams' rosters past a handful of star players (e.g. I honestly don't know who is starting at QB for Green Bay this week -- 15 years ago I could name 75% of the two deep by number, position and where they went to college).
My goal as a fan is to find the *right* balance to where I can still passionately enjoy gameday, still feel elation over the big wins, and not care all much about the losses. Allbuffs seems to support this "lightweight fandom" for CU athletics, at least for me.

Not first round like he was projected a year or two ago but he still has a decent shot to be drafted as long as he bounces back as expected from his injury.

Shilo Sanders has his eyes on the NFL. When can the Colorado defensive back enter the NFL Draft?

Shiloh was NEVER considered anywhere near a first rounder, man.Not first round like he was projected a year or two ago but he still has a decent shot to be drafted as long as he bounces back as expected from his injury.

Fact is...our defense is better with him off the field.

Admittedly, I'm just going off of media reports through the years. From the linked article above - "
Will Shilo Sanders be drafted?
There were times that Sanders had a chance to be the third Buffalo drafted in the first round in 2025, joining Shedeur and star two-way player Travis Hunter. Shilo has yet to maintain his teammates' success and has fallen down draft boards."He seems like a solid player though so curious why you guys feel better off without him?
General consensus is that he takes bad angles and plays a little out of control emotionally. He can be a late hit liability.
I really like Shilo the person and he's a good player. But the defense doesn't suffer when he's not in.
Fun guy, really not that great of a Safety overall
Surprised how the boys did not get Prime's olympic speed
I wanna love him, but I actually do think we will be better without him for now

I hate to say it, but Feldman definitely made some good points.
I think Prime's job will be easier without Travis, Shedeur and Shilo, actually.

I think so too…but will he see it that way and adjust is the biggest question mark.
It’s going to take a GRIND to make it to the playoffs without them and, honestly, there’s nothing that I’ve seen from Coach Prime, so far, that shows me that he’s up to the challenge or has any plans beyond this year.
I know Coach Prime put in a lot of work as a player, but I’ve seen like a quarter of that effort from him as a coach…and it’s starting to become increasingly alarming.
He also doesn’t take constructive criticism well and just puts anybody that questions him into the “hater box.”
l do a lot of analysis for my work, and all of that combined is really not looking good for the Buffs, IMO.
It’s about time that Coach Prime starts showing improvement as a coach, or he will deservingly go down as a complete failure and laughing stock.
You are so deep
It feels like Eisen is covering for Prime.

No chance Prime is here next year unless Julian Lewis flips to CU
Is it game day yet?
Who knows?
Yes, he will be in a broadcast booth somewhere.
Can you at least spell Shilo’s name correctly? At this point it feels like you’re doing it on purpose for some reason
Feldman makes good points for sure, but it starts to ring hollow when he compares CU’s talent level and depth to Ohio State and Alabama as a way to downplay CU. Maybe compare them to Arizona, Kansas State, Wisconsin, Florida, and other upper middle class programs.
The cupboard is a bit bare for next year and he and the recruiting staff have their work cut out for them in both the portal and HS recruiting. Feldman definitely makes a good point about the grind of coaching and wondering if his motivation will still be there post Shedeur and Shilo.
But to your point, if the fire is still there to coach, I agree that he could be better without his sons on the team.
FIFY.

I don't know bare the cupboard is.
4 starting o linemen return.
Mikell, Miller, Miller Timmons, Russell all back at receiver.
Hayden, Welch Augustave all back.
Obviously QB is a valid concern...which is why we need Lewis...or spending a butt load on a transfer.
On defense, Okunlola, Thomas, Barnes, Wiggins, Walker, Webb-Walker, McCoy and McNeill all back
Hill-Green back at LB
McKinney, Stoutmire, Riley, Hood, RJ Johnson back at DB
A good coaching staff can do a lot with a foundation of those guys.
