Aren't we out Robinson for the 1st Half of CU?

He’s average anyway

In fairness, I'm not sure the talent Coach Prime was able to attract would be interested in Nebraska regardless of who's coaching.

 

Coach Rhule has a difficult job because they have to win while trying to find under recruited talent. Something 90% of programs are trying to do. 

Colorado is more attractive for what reason?

This is why I don’t really have the patience to give Rhule the benefit of the doubt. We are seeing in real time that a team can be turned around in one offseason. Rhule and Sat better pull their heads out of their asses and do something about this offense, like yesterday. 

Colorado is much improved and it’s still a long season also. BUT the BIG difference is Deion wiped out everything that didn’t match the direction he wanted to go and rhule tried to fix our trash and it turned out to be trash again for the most part. We are more spirited but we lack real dudes in critical positions

Everyone knows CU brought in some talented skill guys. But dang their OL has given Sanders lots of time and he is very good with time to throw.  Why does our OL stay mired for years with the hey we need time for the unit to play/gel.  CU pass protection has been very good in game 1.  Will be interesting to see how TCU pressures the QB in second half.

Can’t understand how long of a leash we give guys to keep showing us they can’t play

-Corcoran got beat like a drum.

-Satterfield... So many questions. What happened to TEs? Why did you throw on the first drive in the fourth? And why did you put an RB with fumble issues in on a key drive.

-Why didn't Ervin carry more?

THIS IS THE ONE! 

Is too late to call Casey back lol 

All this debate about Colorado and Ty Robinson makes one play a game

That may be true, but why is he wasting extra energy on Nebraska and the whole "red in the locker room".  To me, it's creating unnecessary noise.

Or….. it’s his biggest traditional rival scheduled and from a time period where he actually understood when the two teams were at their peak within the rivalry. Or should the guy drum up interest with teams that he’ll no longer have a tie to after next season lol

General public: I hate how there is no more tradition in college football 

Huskerboard: Deion doesn’t want to be our friend and we don’t understand it waannnnnn 

This thread is bordering on obsession

It says that CU might be the most talked about most hyped team ever predicted to finish 2nd to last in their conference ever. But you’re right, we already knew this.

Oh you mean like 2019 when we started the year ranked because frost was an offensive guru who was gonna takeover the BIG

The media might be giving Deion a lot of hype, but this says a lot about what they actually expect...

 

I think this is what the majority expected. Idk how this is saying much of anything

Some speaking out about Sanders approach.  Sure am glad we got Rhule and not Sanders.   Rhule walks in with humility and awe of the program.  Sander walks in with an ego bigger than Texas and only in awe of himself it appears.

This whole rhule vs sanders debate has been a case study on fandom. The nature of college sports with the transfer portal and NIL all these things are happening the same way at every school. Just like frost used to “help players find a better situation”. Don’t let coach speak fool you they are all operating the same way business first. 

There is no exact science to program building some schools rarely figure it out and most schools even the ones that have won championships turnover the whole program within a decade. I’d still be surprised if they made a bowl but seeing that team play in real time there wasn’t enough to keep that roster intact. Plus he’s bringing in upperclassmen so that’ll leave room for recruiting going forward 

Buckley is built like a dude

It sure was easy to get the Gabe Ervin kool aid flowing

He had nearly half his yards in three games against pretty unimpressive opponents. He averaged under 200 yards passing in the other seven games he played, which would have been #106 in the nation. 
 

In the month of October (four games) he threw 8 TDs and 8 INTs. Not good. 
 

When not targeting Trey Palmer, he threw 8 TDs and 10 INTs. Also not good. 
 

He racked up some decent stats because he could chuck it deep and let Palmer outrun everyone (once he figured out not to underthrow him by 15 yards). But he also missed a lot of throws badly. 
 

We can do better. 

Of course we can do better. But let’s be honest how often have we. Yes his numbers tanked just like grant when we started playing more capable defensive lines.

And Alabama did that with the SEC for years.

You mean the same time that LSU Auburn and Florida won national championships lol. I think the people on this board only have local channels or something

It’s just different if a B1G team has a similar story

No it’s just the fact that it’s Missouri and probably everything they can ask for. What would encourage them to leave with that resume

I still believe if Mizzou was offered a Big Ten invite they would jump ship.  The only SEC member I think that would do so.  I wonder if the SEC or Big Ten will be the first conference to challenge the ACC GOR?

They’ve been to 6 bowls and won the SEC east twice in 10 years. I think they are ok

Minnesota?! I’ll give you penn state when it comes to moving the needle but come on now. If Michigan falls off a cliff what’s gonna be there story when it comes to the last 50 years of football? One of the Top 5 things in their story will be the loss to app state. I never said they didn’t belong just that Ohio state is carrying and has carried the weight of the conference.

It’s been great to see Missouri and A&M rise to prominence in the SEC.  With all that identity and player development the conference has gained them.  Spot on.

 

we would have been different though right? It wasnt Eichorst or Riley or Frost.  It was just the wrong conference.  Frost would have lit up the SEC because our players would have developed differently.

 

Nevermind, that does sound like I’ve been drinking.

You have to be drinking because your merging my thought and your opinion. My thought is the SEC has a good amount of program and player development. Your opinion that I believe we had the talent or capability as a program to compete now. Idk what you want to be if you scared to play the best and compare us to Missouri and A&M. Of course we’d take our lumps but in hindsight I’d rather the resources of the SEC and the natural rivalries that would exist for us

That's crazy talk.  Ohio State made noise and even though they didn't win the game against Georgia it was a back and forth affair.  Ohio State had Georgia on it's toes.  Joining the SEC wouldn't make our identity any better.

Ohio state is carrying the weight of the entire conference. Crazy talk is basing an entire conferences credibility off of one teams accomplishments. Which conference would have more natiural rivalries that our fan base can get behind? Thank goodness we play that Iowa in game that nobody pays attention to once a year right

Ask OU/TX.

 

Your conference is not easy at all, of course the SEC is slightly harder.  You need to recruit your way out of this mess.  In the SEC you would get a shot at the recruits who desperately want to be seen on ESPN's featured games with UGA et al.  Again this may have been unknown when you became the 12th member of the conference over a decade ago.  At the time Tom Osborne may have thought he got into an exclusive club. 

The Big 10 feels exactly like the Big 12. People keep saying oh the the national championship could’ve been two Big 10 teams but the problem isn’t making the dance and having a chance it’s the fact that the league doesn’t prepare teams to make noise once they are in. The level of play needed to win the conference compared to beating the best of the best is not comparable. IMO in hindsight the SEC would’ve fit us better from an identity standpoint and grooming our players on what it takes to really be successful at that level
