I always figured that was an actual thing but had never seen the hard data, as Hesston would say. I was going to make a joke about all the heroin addicts in Ohio but there is nothing funny about that and I don't blame an Ohio an for escaping their reality to make fun of Harbaugh, because they have a real shitty reality.

Dude, shut your dumbass up. Yeah he had a booger in his nose. Who hasn't? He didn't eat it. He put his finger to his lip to act like he was chewing his nail because he realized there is always a camera on him and it would make national news. Get a life instead of come onto the blog of a team you envy. Dimwit!

Some people are very addictive nail biters. They just can't help themselves at all. Lebron James is an intense nail biter. You'll see him sitting on the bench gnawing away at his fingers like he's trying to give himself a manicure. Whatever he needed done to his nails, he could've got done before the game. That's just a nervous tension release. Jim Harbaugh is a nail biter. I've seen him on the sideline before with his finger in his mouth and biting on his nails. It created an awkward moment yesterday. Move on.

Yeah. ESPN loves to replay the worst things that have happened to us for, in many cases, no good reason. Imagine when they have a decent reason.

How many times did you hear "remember what happened the last time Michigan was ranked number 5?" Then they actually played the damn clip!

Get ready for at least one replay of Kordell on each of game day, pre game, and during the game.

CU alum,lives in Boulder and follows the team closely. His view is that CUs offense is better than last year and will put up points, against the mediocre and average teams but will struggle against top tier defenses. Their D is kind of meh. Take that for what it's worth

Well so far they've destroyed their two opponents, but neither of those were good teams. Colorado State was a 7-6 Mountain West team last year who struggled to beat a bad UTSA team this week, and Idaho State went 2-9 in FCS last year. So they've done what they've needed to do so far, but we still don't know much about how good they are.

Colorado went 4-9 last year including a loss at Hawaii. The fact that this year they not only beat CSU, but destroyed them, to me implies that CU this year is a lot better than their 4-9 record last year.

I think their QB, Sefo Liufau, is the first real QB test we'll see this year. He only threw 9 TDs to 6 picks last year in 10+ games, but two years ago he threw 28 TDs to 15 picks and as a freshman, he threw 12 TDs to 8 picks in 8 games. This year he's thrown 3 TDs so far with no INTs and good efficiency numbers.

It seems to me like Liufau is the first QB we'll face who could actually do real damage in the air. That being said, I don't really expect him to. He seems turnover prone as a thrower, which Brown should be able to take advantage of, and even without Lewis we have two very good corners he has to throw against.

So basically, we don't know how good they are, but this should be our first test through the air this season. I could definitely see CU having some success through the air at times, but if we are as good as we hope, we should still beat them by 20+.

I watched a little bit vs CSU, it looked like Liufau was very composed in the pocket and was able to multitask on several targets until one broke open and then make the throw.  Basically with time to throw, picked the defense apart.

The difference at least on that phase of the game will be Michigan's DL + whatever The Blitz Doc has cooked up, if we are playing the QB like Brown's face in the camera then its going to be a long game for their offense.  I don't expect them to get much going on the ground.

I hope Jourdan Lewis is able to get healthy soon without compromising the rest of his season.  Miss that guy knocking down passes.  While teams said they weren't afraid to throw against him due to lack of interceptions, I'll take the equivalent of "loss of down" alll day long!!

If you're looking purely at 'atmosphere' and a Colorado college game, go to one at Air Force. It's insane and the tailgating is off the chains ..unexpectedly Folsom Field is an awesome stadium with some of the best site lines anywhere but being smack on campus, much of the pregame is on the Hill at bars or down on Pearl St downtown. A few years ago after joining the Pac12, CU (re)opened some beer gardens, which is not bad. CU is heading in the right direction as a program but it's been a slow turnaround

They seem like a team that could win 6-7 games and make a bowl game. Definitely the best team we'll have played thus far but still a team that we should handle. I'm thinking a 34-10 type of game where they compete with us for a half only for us to pull away late.
