How many walk ons do we have? 3 isn't an unusual number of scholarship QBs in the Spring, I don't think.
Don’t you dare forget about drew Carter!!!!! /s
I didn't. Shedeur, Carter and only 1 of the freshmen is an EE, right?
OH I thought both freshman were on campus nvm
This,
Make it something even non-football fans enjoy enough that they want to come back next year.
Also the more you can show off the various programs from all over the university the more you make those departments feel like they are valued by athletics and the fans.
Give people the opportunity to brag about what they are doing and they feel good about themselves and those who gave them the opportunity to make what they are doing known.
Do it right and it makes a great event for the school to use to invite prospective students to come and visit the school.

Lots of great ideas from all you derelicts.
Which Junta member is tasked with collecting the thots and emailing them to RG?

Don't know if he is coming back but last season we had Colton Allen on the roster as a walk-on QB, Fr from Highlands Ranch.
Should still be enough QBs to run a spring game though. You put them in a green jersey and don't let them be tackled. The throws won't be any more than they make in a full practice.
I've always liked the idea of taking the opportunity to make a game of it. These players love to play the game. They work hard all off-season then some will get little playing time in the regular season. Give them a chance to go out and have fun competing.

Is Willie Taggart’s son a PWO at qb?
3-4 on scholarship plus 1-2 walk-ons would be typical (at least pre-portal typical). There are an almost unbelievable number of throws to be made daily in an efficient, well structured practice. They will need 2-3 walk-ons just to absorb the workload.
There used to be rules about walk-ons and when they could join/participate. I’m not sure what those are now.
The projected starters should not participate in any actual tackling and blocking. If it were me, the Buffs shouldn’t even wear pads in the spring. Practices should be limited to half speed walk throughs. It’s important that the players are healthy for the regular season.

SIAP, one of the first week videos from Coach Prime's office was a phone call with Kordell Stewart where it was stated he was needed on campus for the Spring Game. It can be non-contact flag football for all I care. Some of you are seriously underestimating the hype that game will generate, whatever form it takes or who comes.
Right now his focus is on recruiting the top players in the nation and he is killing it. How many weeks do you think he needs to convince 30K fans to come for a recruiting trip and party on a Saturday afternoon in spring from as far away as the Springs or Grand Junction to get a live taste? 1? 3 days?
He hasn't even tried yet and We Coming. Folsom is going to be a teaser to Nub fans of what they are in store for and it will be glorious!

(a) that’s disrespectful to the women and (b) it’s impossible or at least illegal I’d have to assume.
hearing April 22nd might be a good day for a sackygate...
I've never understood the idea that competitive athletes should not compete in anything athletic outside of a controlled practice or game. If they're not playing pickup basketball games or flag football or kickball or whatever, I wouldn't want them on my team. Athletes enjoy doing athletic stuff to compete or challenge themselves or just to have fun & show off. If that's not part of their nature, there's an issue. And, yes, sometimes they'll get injured doing that stuff but you've got to accept that risk if you want them to be athletes.
ya playball aka LC said April 22
Haha I’m just guessing. That account has been an insider through multiple coaching changeswait... Playball is LC???
I could still hit the extra points ( better than the Dallas kicker for sure) I may have a 50+ left in me as well
I see this as far more likely than me being able to hold pass pro for more than a second or two.
I was trying to decipher who it might be when 247 was talking about it yesterday. LC never crossed my mind because most CU fans have **** on him since KD was hired and he still came back to post every so often, although not as frequently I don’t think
To be honest, your job was always way tougher then mine!

Since CP mentioned that, I can't get the image of Snoop in a chariot being pulled by Ralphie out of my head.
I seem to recall a Spring Game back in the 80s that involved alums playing against players, or maybe it was just an alum vs alum game. Am I just confabulating my memories? Ak.
Didn't the Cone brothers play ? I remember paper snow cone cups taped to the top of their helmets.
There was at least one that was players vs. alums. That was back when we had a bunch more fairly young alums who were good enough players to not get blown away. The players still mostly dominated but it was competitive other than lots of alums discovering that pulled muscles, bumps and bruises, etc. hurt more as they got older.
The Cone brothers played as did a bunch of other notable guys. IIRC some of the players on the line got a rude shock when Leon White showed up in his full pro wrestling, steroid pumped up glory. He could move a lot due to his knee (same one that shortened his time in the NFL) but some big kids discovered what it was like being thrown around.
That would have been the right time period, definitely. I wish I remembered the snow cone hats. Brilliant.
Sweet. Great memories guys. That's the essence of what stuck in my head. I remember being with my Dad and him commenting about some of the older guys being in no shape to play a real football game. We were laughing watching some of the guys run around having fun. As I recall, there were actually some "older" guys "playing," but they were probably in their 30's(?). I almost vaguely remember the Leon White appearance.
Funny. Looking back, I can't imagine who thought that was a good idea--beyond the mere marketing of it--and no way that would happen now.
