Um Kyle,
Is the video of FORREST West or Derrick WEBB?
It is nice to see the Big 12 is dishing out $130 million, my question is how are they dishing it out. Is this for all sports? Is it based on television apperances? Is football> mens bball> womens bball > baseball > volleyball? A little more information on how this works would be nice. More money on the top line sounds good, but if CU gets a smaller percent of the new money this may put us further behind schools with larger revenue/endowment streams.
He called the end around at the 2 yard line, which lost 4 yards to the six. It was on second down after we had gained 4 yards by running up the middle. aTm couldn't stop us from running up the middle and they new it. He finally learned in the NU game on 4th and 1 from the 4, and we ran up the middle and scored a TD.
Helfrich always seemed to call the "cute" play instead of letting the players make a play. He wanted to win because of the "great" play call. I hope the spring game plays were more of what Kiesau has in store for the Buffs next year.
I am excited about Kiesau and the future. Good luck Helfrich in the PAC-10, but I really like how this will work out for the Buffs!
Cody was 6-7...we beat NU and lost the bowl game. We were close to being 9-4 if you remember. We were a Hugh Charles fumble away from having the lead & win over KU at home. The ISU game we should have won, and a bowl game were we almost came back and won. Improve the o-line, running game, and if Cody steps up from that level of play we can get to 9-4 or even 10-3
Morgantown will really set the tone for the season. The mountainers are replacing 4 of 5 o-linement, a star QB who was a leader for the team, and all 3 LBs. That being said the new QB looks to be more of a traditional passer, and a bit more acurate thrower. WV will be at home, and they still have Noel Devine, which on a stand alone basis could make life hell for the Buffs. I like our chances though.
I upgraded my seats this year, and am looking forward to the games from a better vantage point. When October rolls around, it the Buffs are 4-1, and the Broncos are 1-4, there could be a bit more interest in the action in Boulder. Economically it makes more sense, the best seats at Folsom are $58, the worst seats at Mile High are $50.
On defense we saw a lot of positives as well. The D-line did better than initially expected. They really held their blocks, and Will Pericka was able to apply some pleasure. I was impressed with how well Will pushed into the back field, and drew double teams. Curtis Cunningham did not play on Saturday. The linebackers were all over the place on Saturday. Most of us felt going into the game they would be a strength in the fall, and if the spring game is any indication that will happen. They did a great job filling holes, avoiding blocks, and blitzing in a way that wasn’t obvious to the o-line (or me in the stands). We will also add Major to the mix in the fall, since he sat out the spring game. The secondary was good, Jimmy Smith will be great, and there will be a good number of CB’s once Perkins and Brown are better. It did seem the safeties played a little lower key than usual. I guess they wanted to keep their teammates health.
We were missing Tau, MTM, & Behrens, all three who have seen time at LG. The running backs all looked good. From Sumler hitting the hole hard and fast to Scott moving the pile 4 yards after a 3 yard carry the RB’s will be good & deep in the Fall. The TE’s played and blocked well, and when the Wallace & Deehan get more experience they will be true weapons in the pass game. The WR were the one place that needs help, but we all knew that. The two scholarship guys did well, and Scotty watched on the sideline. On Smiths long catch from Hansen you saw the two communicate at the line before the play, which was good to see.
