... Last weekend, the Buffs traveled to North Texas, coming away with an exciting 41-27 victory over Teas Tech. The win was CU’s fourth consecutive road victory of the season, a feat not accomplished since 1996, and was the fourth straight by two touchdowns or more, a feat not accomplished at CU since ... the undefeated regular season campaign in 1989.
I am pleased to be joined for this review/preview episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we will be giving you our “T.I.P.S.”, our preview for CU’s home game against Utah.
Before we do our preview, though, we will be taking a few minutes to give you our review of the big win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. We will be discussing “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, with, as you might imagine, a fair amount of time spent on “The Good”.
Then, we will move on to the Utes of Utah.
Our format is to give you our “T.I.P.S.” for the game, broken down into categories:
T- Talent - What CU’s opponents are bringing to the game; which matchups may prove crucial;
I - Intangibles - What off the field issues may impact the outcome;
P - Preparation/Schedule - How the calendar and the weather may play a role; and
S - Statistics - Which numbers should Buff fans be on the lookout for in determining the outcome.
After going through our preview, we will each give you our predictions for the game.
So ... How will the Buffs be able to handle the contrast in opponents, going from all offense/no defense Texas Tech, to no offense/all defense Utah? ... Are the Buffs proving immune to outside national media noise, now that the Buffs are ranked and control their own destiny for a berth in the Big 12 title game? ... Are these Buffs a team of destiny, or are they destined to stumble against a Utah team which owned them in the Pac-12?

... Another Big 12 road game, another CU blowout win. A three-point underdog against Arizona, the Buffs started fast, and never looked back in a 34-7 romp over the Wildcats. Don’t look now, but CU is 5-2, one win away from a bowl game for Peggy.

Will the Buffs, late on Saturday night, become bowl-eligible in October for the first time since 2016? ...

... The Buff Nation was treated to a second consecutive late night Folsom Field rally, but, unlike the Baylor game a few weeks ago, which finished with a miracle victory, the Buffs’ comeback could not be sustained against No. 18 Kansas State, with CU falling to the Wildcats, 31-28.

Will the sold out UA Homecoming crowd go home happy, or will the Buffs find their way to win No. 5?

Before we do our preview, though, we will be taking a few minutes - and perhaps a few extra minutes - to break down one of CU’s best games in years, a 48-21 take down of the Central Florida Knights. We will be discussing “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” about the Buffs’ first-ever game against UCF.

So ... Both teams are coming off of big victories, and both teams are coming off of byes ... Which team spent their off-week preparing? ... And which team spent their off-week reading their press clippings? ... Will the Buffs be able to ruin the Homecoming for Dylan Edwards, or will the star CU recruit have the last laugh against his former team? ... Does the Central Florida game represent the ceiling for how well the Buffs can play? ... Or was the stellar effort the new floor? ...

Well, have you come down from Cloud Nine yet? Colorado is 3-1, 1-0 in Big 12 play after an unlikely, if not miraculous, 38-31 overtime win over Baylor.
I am pleased to be joined for this review/preview episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we will be giving you our “T.I.P.S.", our preview for CU’s first ever-game against Central Florida, coming up in Orlando on Fox at 1:30 p.m., MT on Saturday, with the Fox Big Noon Saturday show following the Buffs to Orlando.
Before we do our preview, though, we will be breaking down what was “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” about CU’s overtime win over Baylor. The Buffs were down to their final play, and the final two seconds of the game, before Shedeur Sanders hit LaJohntay Wester for a game-tying 43-yard touchdown. Not to be outdone, CU’s All-Everything Travis Hunter made CU’s next miraculous play just a few minutes later, forcing a fumble at the CU goal line in overtime, preserving the win, and sending some 50,000 Buff fans home happy ... Wet, but happy.
After a few minutes reminiscing about one of the most improbable wins in recent Colorado history, we will move on to the Knights of Central Florida.

So ... Both teams are coming off of come-from-behind wins, with Central Florida overcoming a 28-7 second half deficit to take down TCU. Which team gets the extra boost it will need to claim victory in UCF’s “Bounce House”? ... Can the CU coaching staff devise a way to protect Shedeur Sanders, or is the Buffs’ star quarterback destined to be lost to injury after continued beatings by opposing defenses? ... Will the Buffs be able to build on their two game winning streak, or is CU’s 3-1 record, identical to the Buffs’ record at this point last season, again a high water mark for CU’s chances at a bowl invitation? ...

Welcome to our much anticipated CU game-by-game season preview. I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are going to give you our predictions for the outcomes of each of CU’s games for the 2024 season.
In the past few years, we have been pretty successful in predicting the outcomes of Buff games, though admittedly during the Karl Dorrell years it didn’t take much expertise to see what was coming. Last year, Brad was right on with his 4-8 prediction, with Neil (6-6) and I (5-7) being slightly more optimistic.
So ... For the 2024 season, there are eight games on the CU schedule for which there is unanimity of opinion as to the forecasted outcome. But for four games ... Nebraska, Central Florida, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State ... there is a split decision.
What are your predictions for CU’s 2024 season? Do they match up with ours? ...

Welcome to our Big 12 Preview podcast!
I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are going to give you our team-by-team look at the Big 12 conference race. With our previews, we project each Big 12 rival’s season, slotting teams into four categories.
– Tier One: A team which is a Big 12 title contender, and a likely Top 25 team nationally;
– Tier Two: A solid team, and a likely bowl participant, but a team with a flaw or two which will prevent them from threatening to win the league;
– Tier Three: A team with bowl aspirations, where the Strive for Six is the main goal, a goal which obtainable if the season plays out as projected; and
– Tier Four: A team going through a rebuilding season. You can squint at the schedule and perhaps find six wins and a bowl bid, but a losing season is the most likely outcome.
So ... How many teams in the Big 12 will likely be out of the bowl picture by the end of September? ... What to make of the messy middle in the most competitive Power Four conference, with any number of teams who could finish with anywhere from four to eight wins? ... Which teams are our picks to play for the Big 12 title? ... And ... of course, where does CU fit in the mix? ...

It’s July, the time for conference media days, and the countdown to fall camp. I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are going to go out on a limb and give you our projected starting lineup for the CU defense and special teams for the 2024 season.
We also take our preview a step further, and discuss how each unit of the defense compares to the rest of the Big 12.
Our criteria:
– Tier One: One of the top four units in the Big 12, capable of taking the Buffs to title contention if the rest of the team is equal to the task;
– Tier Two: 5-8 in the Big 12. A strength, a unit which can help CU to a winning record and a bowl berth;
– Tier Three: 9-12 in the Big 12. A liability, but, if the unit can avoid injury and live up to its potential, can help CU get to a bowl game; and
– Tier Four: 13-16 in the Big 12. A problem area. A unit which might drag CU down to another losing season.
So ... Will the complete overhaul of the CU defensive line be a smashing success? Or ... Will it be a shrug-of-the-shoulders failure? ... Can the deficiencies in the linebacker corps be masked by the upgrades in the rest of defense? ... And, will Travis Hunter, backed by one of the most talented defensive backfields in recent CU history, be able to not only put himself in position for a top draft pick, but also for national post-season awards?

It’s July, which means the college football season is just around the corner. I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are going to go out on a limb and give you our projected starting lineup for the CU offense for the 2024 season.
We also take our preview a step further, and discuss how each unit of the offense compares to the rest of the Big 12.
Our criteria:
– Tier One: One of the top four units in the Big 12, capable of taking the Buffs to title contention if the rest of the team is equally up to the task;

– Tier Four: 13-16 in the Big 12. A problem area. A unit which might drag CU down to another losing season.
So ... Is CU’s completely redone running back room a strength, or a potential weakness? ... Are CU’s wide receivers an elite corps, not only for the Big 12, but nationally? ... And ... Is the rebuilt offensive line, with fresh faces and fresh potential, good enough to carry CU to a winning season? ...

Welcome to our CU Schedule Countdown episode. I am joined for this podcast by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are going to take a stroll through Colorado’s 2024 schedule, ranking the Buffs’ opponents from the easiest game on the calendar ... to the most difficult.
I had thought there would be consensus, at least at the start of our discussion, but, as it turned out, we came up with three different choices for CU’s easiest game, with Baylor, Cincinnati, and North Dakota State being our respective choices.
If possible, I would recommend having the Colorado 2024 schedule at your fingertips as we go through the calendar, or, better yet, make out your own list of easiest to most difficult games, and see if you agree with our choices.
So ... Where do rivalry games on the road against Nebraska and Colorado State fall on our lists? Which game will prove to be the most difficult to win for the Buffs this fall? ... And, once our lists are made, which are the critical 50/50 games in the middle which will ultimately decide CU’s season? ...

So ... Who would make your list of the top CU transfers this off-season, choosing three from the offensive side of the ball, and three from the defense? ... Is the Shilo Sanders bankruptcy cause for concern, or much ado about nothing? ... If the 22% revenue share distribution which has been agreed to (roughly $20 million/year) going to be a hardship on a school like CU, will G-5 schools even have a prayer of competing in the post-House world of college football? ...

We’re going to have a little fun with this episode, one which we are calling the “Pet Peeves Bracket Challenge”. I am joined by Neil Langland, and we are going to run through a Sweet Sixteen of college football annoyances, working our way towards a signature Pet Peeve.
If you are not driving while listening to this episode, I recommend taking a pen and a piece of paper, so you can pick your own winners, and come up with your own Final Four and ultimate champion Pet Peeve.
So ... Which bothers you most as a college football fan: Your team going from the shotgun on fourth-and-inches? ... Or ... Throwing a six-yard completion on third-and-seven? ... Which is more annoying: The useless between quarters coach interviews? ... Or ... Your team fooling no one by trying to draw the opposition offside on a fourth-and-two at the 42-yard line?
If you enjoy this episode, let us know your most frustrating Pet Peeves, and we’ll put them up for review on a future episode.
For now, which of our Sweet Sixteen Pet Peeves will be crowned champion? ...

This is Stuart Whitehair, publisher and editor for the CU at the Game website, and your host for the CU at the Game podcast.
Welcome to our May Mailbag edition. I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger, and we go through your questions about college football in general, and your Colorado Buffaloes in particular.
Included in this mailbag episode ...
- An article in The Athletic took Coach Prime and CU to task for dismantling the roster they inherited, quoting unhappy players who left the program. But looking at where the castoffs landed, can an argument be made that Colorado did what was necessary, considering the status of the roster?;
- Even if the roster moves were justified, should Coach Prime and Shedeur Sanders have keep quiet, instead of instigating a firestorm on social media?;
- At every opportunity, Coach Prime indicates that he loves CU and Boulder, and has no intentions of leaving after the 2024 season. Are you convinced Deion Sanders will be CU’s head coach in 2025?;
- What are your feelings about the current state of the roster? Did CU fill the holes in the lineup along the offensive and defensive lines, and at linebacker?;
- If the House case will take some $2.7 billion dollars to settle, will CU be able to one of the programs able to withstand the financial burden of remaining in the top tier of college football?; and
- (A really good question, when you stop to think about it) ... If you had the choice between being a fan of a perennial contender (e.g., Ohio State; Georgia) or a team which is usually average, but occasionally jumps into the national spotlight (e.g., CU in 2016; TCU in 2022), which program would you choose to support?

Welcome to our Spring Game recap. I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are here to discuss all that transpired on a soggy Folsom Field on Saturday.
We will first turn our attention to each unit on the team, and how they fared in the glorified scrimmage, before turning our attention to which units are most in need of bolstering over the next few weeks as the Transfer Portal shifts from the out-go to the in-come. We finish our discussion by taking a look at what Buff fans can expect in the next few weeks and months as Spring, 2024, shifts to issues for the summer of 2024.
So ... Do we know anymore about the backups at quarterback to Shedeur Sanders? ... Is the completely rebuilt offensive line a significant upgrade to the porous 2023 model? ... Or, is there still plenty of work to be done before CU has a Big 12 quality offensive line? ... Will Coach Prime and his coaching staff be able to piece together a solid running back room? ... Or, will this unit be a liability come fall? ... Is the Buff defense ready for Prime Time? ... Or, are there still holes to be filled on the defensive roster between now and August 29th?

This is Stuart Whitehair, publisher and editor for the CU at the Game website, and your host for the CU at the Game podcast.
Spring has arrived on the calendar, as well as on the practice fields at the University of Colorado. I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are here to discuss the ins and outs of CU football this April.
[Program Note ... During the off-season, a new episode of the podcast is posted every other Friday. In two weeks, however, CU will be conducting its Spring Game. As a result, we will be waiting a extra few days to post. The Spring Game recap podcast will be up on the CU at the Game website on Sunday, April 28th, and available at your favorite podcast sites on Monday, April 29th].
While your Buffs have been engaged in the first few weeks of spring practices, Coach Prime has added three new players to the Recruiting Class of 2024. CU is bringing in two new cornerbacks and a very, very under-the-radar offensive lineman, coming to Boulder from the NFL Academy in England ... by way of Austria and Egypt.
CU has also added new two members to its coaching staff. Both have NFL experience and ties to Coach Prime, but it’s the hiring of graduate assistant Warren Sapp which has created - at least in the mind of one local sportswriter - controversy in his hiring.
Not willing to leave news on the field alone, we also discuss what news of note we have been able to filter out through the process stories which are all too commonplace this time of year.
So ... Is Coach Prime to be praised for bringing in freshman recruits to develop - after being criticized for not doing so on Signing Day? Or ... Are these potentially wasted scholarships with the Transfer Portal about to reopen? ... Is the hiring of Warren Sapp a coup, with CU’s defensive line benefitting from the experience of a Hall-of-Famer? Or ... Is the hire a disaster in the making from a former player who has a history of legal issues - and no coaching experience? ... And ... Are the stories we are hearing about promising true freshman a sign of how much depth is being developed on the roster? Or ... Are stories about freshmen doing well a sign that the Buff Nation may be disappointed this fall with yet another rebuilding season?
