Send a text For this preview episode, I am joined by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland. We will be taking you through the 2023 CU campaign, and giving you our game-by-game predictions. Vegas has the over/under for Colorado at 3.5 wins, and the Pac-12 preseason media poll has CU finishing 11th in the conference.

Send a text For this special episode, I am joined by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we divide the podcast into two segments. First, we take a look at “Black Friday” - August 4, 2023 - when the Pac-12, for all intents and purposes, ceased to exist. There were plenty of actors who played a role in the demise of the conference, but it wasn’t until the media deal offered to the schools was found w...

Send a text Welcome to a special episode of the podcast. I am joined by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we discuss CU’s decision to rejoin the Big 12. We address the criticisms of the move, including leaving the AAU-rich “better fit” of the Pac-12 for the “Truck stop conference” of the Big 12, and CU’s audacity to make the move before the Pac-12 media contracts were announced. We then respond t...

Send a text You know that football season is getting close when we start in on our Fall Camp previews. I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we work through a unit-by-unit preview of the Colorado offense.  Our yardstick for success?

When conference fans can expect some answers ... And...

Send a text It’s been almost a full year since USC and UCLA shocked their Pac-12 brethren with the announcement that they would be leaving the conference for the Big Ten in 2024. Which means it’s also been almost a full year that Pac-12 fans have been waiting for the conference to decide on expansion, and to sign new media contracts.  The long wait may soon be over, as it is being reported that on...

That story wou...
