How’d this pan out, Kentucky?

Wtf? lol. UK trying so hard to be tough. Doing that **** is just asking for a fight to break out. Shoot, it almost did.. Spraggins was ready to throw down.

Should have just bowled over one of those idiots. What are they going to say? I stood in their way when they tried to run onto the field and they ran me over? Duh, that’s what happens MF.

I don't think there is a conspiracy against UT, but it is an objective mathematical fact that something is amiss.

I get the sentiment, but did this statistical analysis run prior to this season?

Our opponents last year were #1 most penalized in the entire country (8.5/game). And far away #1 vs conference opponents (9.5/game).

This is where folks lose me. They point out one, but not the clear other.

Fwiw our opponents this season are 100th most penalized. Almost a quarter of teams are still unhappier. Not quite the anomaly some would make it out to be.

Thoughts about Colorado's recruiting for 2024?

Prime said "We comin' ", but the recruiting ain't coming yet.

They need a massive upgrade in the offensive line.

#67 in the nation. 10 commits. Three 4*, six 3*.
Is one spot below Colorado St, ranked #66 with 17 recruits.

Is it a severe lack of NIL money due to being an insignificant program for the past 30 years since McCartney left as HC?

A flaw in the philosophy of wholesale roster turnover with the portal?

Deion's lack of recruiting base and recruiting relationships (and lack of ability to sell the vision)?

Over-emphasis on skill players and not trench players scaring away recruits?

Recruits seeing through the smoke and mirrors?

Deion is smoke and mirrors on top of being Deion first in all things. Don't know that many kids will want to play for him after watching him not even try to coach up the players he fell in on and now throwing the ones he brought with him under the bus.

Some of our guys did that and the Kentucky players just stepped out the way.

I also loved the interview he was giving after they were about 4 games into the season. The interviewer asked him a question about a specific player (by the kid's last name). Deion had no clue who he was talking about. The kid was Colorado's starting center, the kid that was snapping the ball to Deion's very own son and protecting him every single play of the season.

Spraggins is that guy, I don't think they really wanted any of him either. So they thought it was smart to piss off the team they have beat 7 times in my lifetime (I'm 47).......in no way was that intimidating.

Did the coaches think that was a good idea to let them do that?

Tex Schramm was one of my patients way back.
He wasn’t a fan of jerry jones because of how jones fired Landry.

Jerry handled it badly..but it was time for Tom Landry to retire..loved him as a lifelong Cowboys fan...but the game had surpassed him...
