Scouting Colorado

You're "worried" that the fans aren't taking Colorado seriously enough?
Who gives a fuck what the fans take seriously or not. It has 0.0% relevance on the outcome of the game.

I worry that the $6.00 hot dogs served at the concession stands won't be tasty enough for us to earn the coveted "3 Star" rating from Yelp.

We all have worries.

 

I worry they will fall. That's practically inevitable

Step back from the edge, son!

Can't wait for the tailgate !!!!

and then some!  Take it to the bank.  We will have scored 4 TDs before the buffs know what hit them.  They haven't faced anything close to what we will bring.

I watched the CU CSU game. CSU is a terrible team. CU will have trouble stopping our running game. This is B1G and not PAC12. I expect a heave dose of Smith with a play action. This will be a Butt game as I don't see them matching well in the middle. On Defense we are going to see the adjustment from last game. They will be better than CFU but we should win comfortably.

I watched a bit of the second game in between other games and most of the first half of the first half of their CSU game waiting for another to start. They look good. Big oline, a qb that was accurate and made good decisions and pretty fast skill guys. In fact this is the first game I'm a little hesitant if I will take Michigan to cover. But that might be because I thought they had close to the same talent as their instate rival and that cost me money. Lol Btw, I think you meant to say you were worried about Stribling getting off blocks.

So the 2015 iteration of the Buffaloes who had a few mortal victories in an average Pac 12 inbetween getting curb stomped by ASU, Oregon, WSU and losing to fucking Hawaii should worry US? Come on now, even when they were good in the 90's they need a miracle to not go 0-3 against us. You're saying our team loaded with NFL talent QBs Harbaugh is going to lay an egg vs them? Come on

Vegas is rarely 20 pts off on the spread ... we should be fine.

misleading title. I thought there would be some sort of critical analysis. just more snowflakes.

"they look like an honest to goodness P5 team." Colorado is a P5 team. The sky is not falling. In fact, far from it. The competition isn't going to stay cupcakes the whole season. Colorado is more like a bran muffin. Nom nom nom.

The non-conference schedule is fantastic for UM.  Get the freshman opportunities to view how the spread is run in college early, and everyone a chance to learn how Brown approaches defending it.  Do it now, early.  Work out the kinks and get ready for Indiana and OSU with little to no risk of a loss.  Blow a coverage, they score, and fine.  You work on it during the week, and let our offense pummel their crappy defense to cover for the mistake. 

I for one am very excited with how this season is shaping up.  After just two weeks, the teams that pose a real threat are Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, and OSU.  Yes, disrespekt to MSU, but they are garbage.  Of those, only Indiana and OSU's spread offenses match up favorably against our defense.  Iowa and Wisconsin want to trade punches, which I would suggest favors us.

So get these games in against UCF and CU... get a feel for what you might see against Indiana and OSU.  Things are shaping up very, very well for UM to make the playoff.

and people here just don't want to believe this but Colorado is a good football team, they are probably better then Penn State. People just look at the last few years and figure well they sucked then so they will always suck.

Coach Mac is doing a good job there and is in his 4th season. His starters are all pretty much Juniors and Seniors and have all been growing and improving together. They have some decent talent on both sides of the ball and Leavitt is a very good DC. This is not going to be an easy game.  CU in the last couple of years have lost heart break games to the likes of Oregon, Utah, UCLA all games they should've won, but lost at the end of the game because of a bad turnover.

They have come out this year and blown out two, not very good teams, much like we have done so it's still hard to tell how good either team is going to be. But, you can't just look at Colorado and say well they sucked last year, so they will again this year. Teams do improve and their improvements have been slow and steady the last couple of years. They will make a bowl game this year and I hope we are healthy and ready to play this week, because this is our first test of the season.

I expect UM to win, but anyone thinking we are going to just blow them out are going to be in for a surprise.
