The ACC has been shit since BC and Wake went to shit, and VA Tech became mediocre. Getting BC from the Big East right when Matt Ryan came was huge. Miami joined as well but they were already going to shit by then. Once BC, VA Tech and Wake Forest were no longer relevant nationally, FSU and Clemson were the only powerhouses left. FSU became mediocre after winning the title and finally breaking the SEC’s streak, leaving only Clemson to contend nationally from the conference.
@TheRapper10000 - UNC? I'm sorry, what have they proven, exactly? When have they ever been nationally relevant? You got Clemson, obviously, and Virginia Tech. But there's Florida State, Miami, Louisville, hell even NC State historically and currently before UNC.
AtlantaFan21 They have a high ceiling and overall good talent. Fleck is a great coach as a intensity provider and a solid recruiter. He has shown this is a team that needed that little spark to get the flames going; looking back at previous seasons, they keep getting better and better by the year. This 19-20 season being special because of the program reg. season record and they beat a damn good #4 Penn State squad. You can make the argument that this season is their only good season because of the senior class (5 kids drafted), but will see. I still expect big things, especially with returning star players Rashod Bateman (Projected 1st Rounder) and Tanner Morgan returning. Regardless, It’ll be fun watching them.

When they brought him in from Navy I believed athletics were no longer a focal point. This was compounded by how little to no support for their men's basketball team any longer as well.
That 2001 Colorado team was a great argument in favor of a 4-team playoff back in the early 2000s. Despite losing two games early in the season, they were looking as good as anybody in the country after giving Nebraska their only loss of the season and going on to win the conference title game. The fact that the Huskers Advanced to the national championship game after not appearing in their own conference title game ahead of both Colorado and a very good Oregon team was a point of contention for critics of the BCS for many years. That was probably the best 4 team playoff if it would have happened and I would have loved to see how those matchups would have worked out.
Nebraska definitely shouldn't have been in that title game. It was a poor system and reputation got them in. But Oregon did smoke CU in that Fiesta Bowl.

CU diehard here. First off love your channel. This video could be like 3 hours long hahaha. After the 2005 collapse and firing of Barnett it seemed like the institution just abandoned the football program. Even recieving votes to disband the program from within!!!! Each coaching change the coaches would say the same thing that received little to no institutional help and if anything were faced with resistance, I dont think they realized if u dont take care of your football program that even a national power can fall to 1 and 11. Even if they stayed in the big 12 it wouldn't have mattered, it is clear as the eye test that since 2006 CU just flat out does not match up athletically with their competition. Good point about cu not being able to pay thier assistants. Cu has upgraded facilities and uniforms to try and help recruiting but it may be too little to late due to how far they fell. They were huge in the 90s. Itd be like if LSU went 1 and 11 6 years from now. That being said they beat nebraska twice in a row so that always put a smile on buff nation.
Funny enough, as an LSU fan, we were at our lowest point from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s when Colorado football was at its peak. LSU having a losing record (including a 2-9 season) is unfathomable now, but a regular occurrence in that period of LSU football. We had losing seasons 8 out of 11 years from 1989 to 1999 before Nick Saban got things back on track. It’ll be tough for Colorado to compete for national titles in the modern landscape of college football, but I see no reason why y’all can’t be a respectable Pac-12 program like Utah and compete for division titles. Good luck.
Good video; you hit on a lot of the history well. Colorado recently changed the state law regarding assistant coaches. The underwriting had more to do with contracts than actual salaries. They basically couldn't offer contracts, it was a per-year type of thing. The only other thing I would point out is Karl Dorrell will likely be in Boulder for an extended period- his primary residence has been there for years and he was an assistant at CU many moons ago. One of his kids also went to school there, so there is definitely a historical connection. And, his "lack of success" at UCLA could be disputed. He took them to a bowl game each year he was there and was hired in the midst of the Bush and Leinart show in LA.
@@stevenferrel3488 I'm thinking the coach that used to be a TCU. A coach that has an identity and can build a program. Then that coach needs to say what McCartney said. It will take Five years to turn this around!!
1) How can you be a Leafs and Wings fan? 2) One good year? Up until the Hawkins/Embree disaster, the Buffs were Top 20 in all time wins. Yes, 1990 was a long time ago. But this program is a sleeping giant. The ingredients are there - just need the coaching and institutional support to put it all together.
Peter Curtis losing Alfano may hurt, but given the kid’s past, nobody knows how he will handle the competition and pressure of top-level college football? The Buffs need to get a stingy and nasty defense, if they want to stop teams in the PAC-12. Just look at Utah - nothing overly flashy, just a tough-as-nails team that is a sum of its parts! The offensive side of the team is pretty young, and losing Shenault, Brown, and Lynott will sting, but the WR and RB corp have promise. QB is a HUGE question mark. If some of these new kids can come in, step up, and contribute right away, hopefully this will get the Buffs that elusive sixth win, and get back to a bowl game!

@@ChandlerTingle 90s were absolutely terrible. Basically stoops saved the program and while they kind of fell off in the early 2010 they have always been good/elite other than the 90s.
Can you do the rise of Wisconsin football. From being bad for so long to when Barry Alvarez came in and started the rise to now with Paul Chryst having 10 win season basically every year.
As a college football fan from Colorado, it's always sad to see almost all of our schools not do well in football. It's also sad that our best football school is CSU-Pueblo, in D-2. 😕
The year is 2016 I wake up hungover out of a blackout from the night before to 5 missed alarms I'm hungover, I look at my phone to the surprise that my Buffaloes are up 7-0 on #4 Michigan in Michigan team and I rush up stairs. I turn on the TV right as Chidobe Awuzie gets a sack on Speight and Derek McCartney grandson of of our great coach of national title team has put us up 14-0. Holy fucking shit my Buffaloes are back! I am jumping up in joy I text my friend from Michigan saying "SKO BUFFS! your national title hopes end today in week 3" This is the year sure we blew out Colorado State and some FCS team. But Ann Arbor is dead silent we are going to embarass Jim Harabaugh. This is our year we can role throught the Pac12. Sefo Liufau is looking like a god we are up 21-7 in the first quarter and we are rolling. Michigan is coming back but Lindsay is running over guys and they have no answer for Liufau he looks like an NFL QB picking apart their secondary. Our punter and dogshit punt coverage lets them back in the game and we are down 24-21 after a punt block TD and a terible line drive return by Jabrill Peppers. But we are moving the ball on the best defense in the Big 10. Sefo runs to the left gets a frst down tries to get up but is holding his ankle. Oh god no not his lisfranc injury. Sefo is on one leg but refuses to go to the bench. He gets a signal from the bench this has to be a run he can't stand it's a play action he throws the ball 75 yards while taking a huge hit for a touchdown to big play Shay and holy shit we are up 28-24. I am going crazy. And then the camera pans back to Sefo and he is squirming in pain. And just like that it's over, there goes our one shot to be special in the 20 years of me cheering for my school. Montez comes in and gets eaten alive and Michigan wrecks us the rest of the game and we lose 45-28. I am heart broken this was supposed to be the year how can this team be this unlucky, we had the team that year, we had a decent O-line, 3 good recievers, Phillip Lindsay looked like the best secret in all of college football and Sefo. Our secondary has 3 NFL corners and 2 NFL safeties. They end up finishing the year with Montez and a hurt Luifau and stumble into a PAC12 championship game and get destroyed by Washington. If Sefo doesn't get hurt I think we could have got destroyed BAMA in the semi final. But for 30 minutes in 2016 my school looked like the best team in CFB, one day Colorado will win a National again.
I don't know which is worse. Hiring continual incompetency, or firing competency to only get incompetency that nearly destroys a program? Still, I think Nebraska and Colorado should be continual out of conference rivals yearly as the two back to back losses suck, but little brother needs some wins here and there.
2nd comment: I actually saw Sal Aunese play against Colorado State (the team my dad had season tickets for) and remember his passing as well as the slight scandal around his son, that whole 'out of wedlock' nonsense. Anyhow, super cool to see the kid grew up to be a coach and OH GOD I'M GETTING OLD.
5:57 Fun fact about that Iowa State game. There was a tornado warning in the area and they tried to have everyone move to Hilton Coliseum, but not everyone went because why would they, it's only a tornado. This delayed they game and Iowa State would go on to win in one of their first top 25 wins ever. Earlier in 1991 there was a blizzard before and during the game, with Colorado only winning 17-14.
The fact that college football didn’t have a national championship until very recently is insane it would be cool to see that 1990 Colorado buffaloes and Georgia Tech team play a game also you should make a comeback of Oregon football
As a Colorado fan, this is an excellent recap. Jon Embree era was the worst time to be a buffs fan. Getting blown out by Fresno State is a metaphor of how truly abysmal the program became. Future isn't looking too bright either but I'm always optimistic.
I went to middle school with Mel tuckers kid Christian back when he worked with ua. I didn’t even know his dad was a football coach back then lmao. He’s jumped around so much in the past couple years it’s kinda crazy.
I grew up starting Colorado pewee and proceeding thru high school football in the 90s-00s and the Buffs performance forever solidified my desire to attend CU. I even attended Coach Mac's religious events with my church. We as Coloradoan's (yes even honest Aggies) were 100% sold on the Buffs defending the state against the nation. It has been my biggest source of despair to see CU put such strangleholds on the football program, and in undergrad I did work with the football program in helping our student-athletes remain academically eligible. I met lots of great guys on the program, still keep in touch with a few as they have moved on into their greater adult life journeys. It is at this point in time that I think that the higher powers that be at CU are intentionally trying to sink the program by imposing strictures on the football program that are totally counter productive. You mentioned a few of them already so I won't repeat those. Instead of being able to road trip to virtually all Buffs games (in BIG 12), now we have to fly everywhere to not spend forever in a car... which is vastly more expensive, football is controlled violence which is mostly a male domain... which current social and political ideologies revile against so often you don't see much support for the football team anymore beyond the campus, and I can go on. I am a twice CU alumnus and love my school unconditionally despite all its flaws. It's amazing how many great strides the school system has made in the past two decades... except in football, which despite everyone's beliefs, electrifies the hearts and minds of many far more than any other athletic competition. It really puts a cloud over things moving into the future because the true reforms to become competitive again simply isn't happening. Thank you for this analysis Mr. Adams.
I don’t think they need to win national championships because they aren’t Alabama. But, they do need to be competitive again, and Deion has a chance to do that. Specifically, I’m talking conference championships, playoff appearances (12 team playoff), and 10 win seasons.
McCarthy is one reason why I want to coach. He believed in building up the player not tearing them down. We need more coaches like him. Coaches don’t stay long enough in programs to even see guys they recruited graduate.
Barnett was a cancer, but the fact that some of the other West Coast teams got the athletes out there, and better, is something else. When Colorado was falling, Pete Carroll was just getting started.
The University of Utah is not CU's "cross state rival." We Utah football fans don't give two shits about them, except that the PAC-12 always schedules them for the last game of the season in an effort to create an artificial rivalry. They came into the PAC on Utah's coattails because the conference needed to add two teams, and BYU, whom the PAC actually wanted, didn't meet the academic standards of the conference. So they picked another team from the Mountain Time Zone, even though they sucked. But despite Utah's relative geographic proximity to Colorado, the teams didn't play each other prior to their induction into the PAC (Utah used to play Colorado St. when they were in the MWC), so we don't have any real connection to them.
Dorral had a couple good seasons at UCLA when he had MJD(Maurice Jones-Drew)! What it was is that UCLA had higher expectations back then after being a top program for a few decades. Remember they almost went to the BCS championship in 1998 but lost their final game against Miami in a game that was rescheduled to their last game because of a Hurricane. That program has gone downhill since 2005 and that is probably another video you can do. The downfall of UCLA football
I'm sure this is because I was born in '97 but I had no clue Colorado was ever that good. And it blew my mind when I first found out they had a Heisman winner in Rashaan Salaam, which was a name I didn't even recognize. It's like everything about this program flew under the radar for me, maybe because they haven't been very good since the 90s.
TAM is the only school that left and is doing better. However they still haven't played in the SEC title game let alone the CFP. Missouri won 2 SEC division titles but only because all the other schools except Alabama and LSU were down otherwise they are a perennial 6-6 team. Funny fact CU has only played in 2 bowl games since joining the Pac 12. Both were against Big 12 teams and CU got blown out in both of them. Colorado, Nebraska, and Missouri will never fully escape their Big 12 roots.
How much of a dagger is it going to be when their arch rival Nebraska rolls into boulder and thumps them in game two after they lose to TCU in game one?
The fall of UConn basketball should be a good idea. Calhoun had that program goated, then Kevin Ollie came in and profited off Calhoun’s players to another title win and you haven’t heard a thing from them since
Wait, wait, wait. At 5:19 you said 2001 was the only bright spot for Gary Barnett at CU? He won 2 more BIG 12 North Championships and was named BIG 12 coach of the year in 2004.
If Dorrell is successful at Colorado it would take a lot for him to leave. He had already built a home in Boulder last year to put down permanent roots in one location for his family. This was well before the recent coaching changes.
Lol you know what? I respect Mr. Tingle for not getting mad but continuing to post the video idea in the comments for a whole year. And he was calm EVERY TIME 🤣
Colorado was illegal recruiting in the 1990s decade and the coach packed it in and they never recover since. They had players on their teams had scholarships before and came back to college football to played for Colorado. They had 22-27 years olds on the 1990"s teams were facing against 18-21 year olds.
Crazy to think that the Buffs used to be very good, considering they only have one winning season since 2006. Other programs, like Nebraska and Miami, have fallen off from their prime too, but they haven’t had it as bad as CU.

Peter Curtis losing Alfano may hurt, but given the kid’s past, nobody knows how he will handle the competition and pressure of top-level college football? The Buffs need to get a stingy and nasty defense, if they want to stop teams in the PAC-12. Just look at Utah - nothing overly flashy, just a tough-as-nails team that is a sum of its parts!
The offensive side of the team is pretty young, and losing Shenault, Brown, and Lynott will sting, but the WR and RB corp have promise. QB is a HUGE question mark. If some of these new kids can come in, step up, and contribute right away, hopefully this will get the Buffs that elusive sixth win, and get back to a bowl game!
Day 1 of telling Cole to do the rise of the Oklahoma Sooners (like so he sees)
Edit: you could do downfall as well but they were in the CFP last year so I’m pretty sure it would be rise
oh no lol
Ceedub Productions haven’t they all always been good?
@@ChandlerTingle 90s were absolutely terrible. Basically stoops saved the program and while they kind of fell off in the early 2010 they have always been good/elite other than the 90s.
Love it cole. I guess i know what i need to do if i ever want you to do a video topic!
You need to do a video and look at how schools have been affected by conference realignment. I feel like there is a correlation in all of this.
Deion & Ralphie coming at you
Can you do the rise of Wisconsin football. From being bad for so long to when Barry Alvarez came in and started the rise to now with Paul Chryst having 10 win season basically every year.
As a college football fan from Colorado, it's always sad to see almost all of our schools not do well in football. It's also sad that our best football school is CSU-Pueblo, in D-2. 😕
The year is 2016 I wake up hungover out of a blackout from the night before to 5 missed alarms I'm hungover, I look at my phone to the surprise that my Buffaloes are up 7-0 on #4 Michigan in Michigan team and I rush up stairs. I turn on the TV right as Chidobe Awuzie gets a sack on Speight and Derek McCartney grandson of of our great coach of national title team has put us up 14-0. Holy fucking shit my Buffaloes are back! I am jumping up in joy I text my friend from Michigan saying "SKO BUFFS! your national title hopes end today in week 3" This is the year sure we blew out Colorado State and some FCS team. But Ann Arbor is dead silent we are going to embarass Jim Harabaugh. This is our year we can role throught the Pac12. Sefo Liufau is looking like a god we are up 21-7 in the first quarter and we are rolling. Michigan is coming back but Lindsay is running over guys and they have no answer for Liufau he looks like an NFL QB picking apart their secondary. Our punter and dogshit punt coverage lets them back in the game and we are down 24-21 after a punt block TD and a terible line drive return by Jabrill Peppers. But we are moving the ball on the best defense in the Big 10. Sefo runs to the left gets a frst down tries to get up but is holding his ankle. Oh god no not his lisfranc injury. Sefo is on one leg but refuses to go to the bench. He gets a signal from the bench this has to be a run he can't stand it's a play action he throws the ball 75 yards while taking a huge hit for a touchdown to big play Shay and holy shit we are up 28-24. I am going crazy. And then the camera pans back to Sefo and he is squirming in pain. And just like that it's over, there goes our one shot to be special in the 20 years of me cheering for my school. Montez comes in and gets eaten alive and Michigan wrecks us the rest of the game and we lose 45-28. I am heart broken this was supposed to be the year how can this team be this unlucky, we had the team that year, we had a decent O-line, 3 good recievers, Phillip Lindsay looked like the best secret in all of college football and Sefo. Our secondary has 3 NFL corners and 2 NFL safeties. They end up finishing the year with Montez and a hurt Luifau and stumble into a PAC12 championship game and get destroyed by Washington. If Sefo doesn't get hurt I think we could have got destroyed BAMA in the semi final. But for 30 minutes in 2016 my school looked like the best team in CFB, one day Colorado will win a National again.
As a CSU student and a Nebraska fan, I really enjoyed this video
Idea: The rise of the Milwaukee Bucks
The rise of Giannis = The rise of the Bucks
Yes
They drafted Giannis who turned into a Demigod. The end.
Blaise Khris Middleton has entered the chat and Bledsoe and they made great moves along the way
I don't know which is worse. Hiring continual incompetency, or firing competency to only get incompetency that nearly destroys a program? Still, I think Nebraska and Colorado should be continual out of conference rivals yearly as the two back to back losses suck, but little brother needs some wins here and there.
And then, they started 2020 4-0 and ranked #21 in the CFP
Anybody here after they just hired PRIMETIME!
“There are no transfer portals in the real world.” -Mel Tucker. Two days later Mel Tucker leaves...
For a better cause lol
2nd comment: I actually saw Sal Aunese play against Colorado State (the team my dad had season tickets for) and remember his passing as well as the slight scandal around his son, that whole 'out of wedlock' nonsense. Anyhow, super cool to see the kid grew up to be a coach and OH GOD I'M GETTING OLD.
The phoenix of CU football is sbout to rise from the ashes!
5:57 Fun fact about that Iowa State game. There was a tornado warning in the area and they tried to have everyone move to Hilton Coliseum, but not everyone went because why would they, it's only a tornado. This delayed they game and Iowa State would go on to win in one of their first top 25 wins ever. Earlier in 1991 there was a blizzard before and during the game, with Colorado only winning 17-14.
The fact that college football didn’t have a national championship until very recently is insane it would be cool to see that 1990 Colorado buffaloes and Georgia Tech team play a game also you should make a comeback of Oregon football
As a Colorado fan, this is an excellent recap. Jon Embree era was the worst time to be a buffs fan. Getting blown out by Fresno State is a metaphor of how truly abysmal the program became. Future isn't looking too bright either but I'm always optimistic.
That 2001 team was so much fun to watch! Their style of play was pure unadulterated power football at it's finest!
Great Video Cole! And congrats Chandler! You came true! I love your videos! I can't wait for the next one!
I went to middle school with Mel tuckers kid Christian back when he worked with ua. I didn’t even know his dad was a football coach back then lmao. He’s jumped around so much in the past couple years it’s kinda crazy.
I grew up starting Colorado pewee and proceeding thru high school football in the 90s-00s and the Buffs performance forever solidified my desire to attend CU. I even attended Coach Mac's religious events with my church. We as Coloradoan's (yes even honest Aggies) were 100% sold on the Buffs defending the state against the nation. It has been my biggest source of despair to see CU put such strangleholds on the football program, and in undergrad I did work with the football program in helping our student-athletes remain academically eligible. I met lots of great guys on the program, still keep in touch with a few as they have moved on into their greater adult life journeys. It is at this point in time that I think that the higher powers that be at CU are intentionally trying to sink the program by imposing strictures on the football program that are totally counter productive. You mentioned a few of them already so I won't repeat those. Instead of being able to road trip to virtually all Buffs games (in BIG 12), now we have to fly everywhere to not spend forever in a car... which is vastly more expensive, football is controlled violence which is mostly a male domain... which current social and political ideologies revile against so often you don't see much support for the football team anymore beyond the campus, and I can go on. I am a twice CU alumnus and love my school unconditionally despite all its flaws. It's amazing how many great strides the school system has made in the past two decades... except in football, which despite everyone's beliefs, electrifies the hearts and minds of many far more than any other athletic competition. It really puts a cloud over things moving into the future because the true reforms to become competitive again simply isn't happening. Thank you for this analysis Mr. Adams.
Well now y’all got Coach Prime. I bet you’re excited
“Unlike Nebraska, it seems like there are not brighter days ahead for this program.”
FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS TODAY
This warmed a Husker fan’s heart lmao
I don’t think they need to win national championships because they aren’t Alabama. But, they do need to be competitive again, and Deion has a chance to do that. Specifically, I’m talking conference championships, playoff appearances (12 team playoff), and 10 win seasons.
Best series on TH-cam Lowkey!!
You should do an update on the team
McCarthy is one reason why I want to coach. He believed in building up the player not tearing them down. We need more coaches like him. Coaches don’t stay long enough in programs to even see guys they recruited graduate.
Barnett was a cancer, but the fact that some of the other West Coast teams got the athletes out there, and better, is something else. When Colorado was falling, Pete Carroll was just getting started.
Michigan State fan here, excited for the future, obviously gonna take a few years but it seems like we are going in the right direction
Just wait until your head coach darts for a SEC school.
As a Buffs fan I do not know how they will do this year with Montez and Laviska Shenault going to the nfl
The University of Utah is not CU's "cross state rival." We Utah football fans don't give two shits about them, except that the PAC-12 always schedules them for the last game of the season in an effort to create an artificial rivalry. They came into the PAC on Utah's coattails because the conference needed to add two teams, and BYU, whom the PAC actually wanted, didn't meet the academic standards of the conference. So they picked another team from the Mountain Time Zone, even though they sucked. But despite Utah's relative geographic proximity to Colorado, the teams didn't play each other prior to their induction into the PAC (Utah used to play Colorado St. when they were in the MWC), so we don't have any real connection to them.
Interesting. Never knew this. Thank you so much.
Dorral had a couple good seasons at UCLA when he had MJD(Maurice Jones-Drew)! What it was is that UCLA had higher expectations back then after being a top program for a few decades. Remember they almost went to the BCS championship in 1998 but lost their final game against Miami in a game that was rescheduled to their last game because of a Hurricane. That program has gone downhill since 2005 and that is probably another video you can do. The downfall of UCLA football
Hey bro I know basketball isn’t really your thing but could you do a downfall of wake forest basketball
Do the Downfall of The New England Patriots
The rise of Iowa State football
Go Hawks
Go clones
Go Vandy
I’m a CU alumni and it’s crazy how bad we are at football. I was there in 2012 to witness that season as well
I'm sure this is because I was born in '97 but I had no clue Colorado was ever that good. And it blew my mind when I first found out they had a Heisman winner in Rashaan Salaam, which was a name I didn't even recognize. It's like everything about this program flew under the radar for me, maybe because they haven't been very good since the 90s.
The fact that the downfalls of both Colorado and Nebraska came after they left the Big XII can't be a coincidence. Can it?
TAM is the only school that left and is doing better. However they still haven't played in the SEC title game let alone the CFP. Missouri won 2 SEC division titles but only because all the other schools except Alabama and LSU were down otherwise they are a perennial 6-6 team. Funny fact CU has only played in 2 bowl games since joining the Pac 12. Both were against Big 12 teams and CU got blown out in both of them. Colorado, Nebraska, and Missouri will never fully escape their Big 12 roots.
Remember when power 5 teams used to run the triple option.
Don’t the service academies and Georgia tech still run it?
Tech isn’t
Can u do a video about the Marshall University plane crash and how they rebuilt their program? That would be awesome!
In one word, YES
You better get ready to make a video about the comeback.
How much of a dagger is it going to be when their arch rival Nebraska rolls into boulder and thumps them in game two after they lose to TCU in game one?
As someone who will probably be going to CU after high school I sure hope we start winning again
Love the vids
Can you do the downfall of BYU Football? This vid made me sub btw.
The fall of UConn basketball should be a good idea. Calhoun had that program goated, then Kevin Ollie came in and profited off Calhoun’s players to another title win and you haven’t heard a thing from them since
Even with the Alamo Bowl beatdown, CU found themselves a QB. I expect them to finally return back to relevance soon.
Yeah this video didn’t age well
Well...Hopefully Dion Sanders can turn the program around.
Can you do a video on Wisconsin and how we haven’t got a national championship even though we have been close.
Wait, wait, wait. At 5:19 you said 2001 was the only bright spot for Gary Barnett at CU? He won 2 more BIG 12 North Championships and was named BIG 12 coach of the year in 2004.
and he recruited a pack of rapists!
now its prime time
Hopefully CU Boulder can make a comeback. Great video Cole!
Welcome back CU...back to relevance, but more important back to dominance!!
Do the rise of Wisconsin football or Basketball
Go 🦡!
If Dorrell is successful at Colorado it would take a lot for him to leave. He had already built a home in Boulder last year to put down permanent roots in one location for his family. This was well before the recent coaching changes.
They stopped being able to recruit SoCal, the downfall of Colorado coincided with the rise of USC.
I’m sending this to my cousin who’s on the team!!! Don’t be suprised if your voice is playing on the 📺 TV!!!
It's Prime Time !! We here !! Go Buffs
Lol you know what? I respect Mr. Tingle for not getting mad but continuing to post the video idea in the comments for a whole year. And he was calm EVERY TIME 🤣
Colorado was illegal recruiting in the 1990s decade and the coach packed it in and they never recover since. They had players on their teams had scholarships before and came back to college football to played for Colorado. They had 22-27 years olds on the 1990"s teams were facing against 18-21 year olds.
I agree my man, that’s a damn good 30 for 30. Pony Excess is probably my favorite, but there’s no bad one at all, especially CFB ones.
Crazy to think that the Buffs used to be very good, considering they only have one winning season since 2006. Other programs, like Nebraska and Miami, have fallen off from their prime too, but they haven’t had it as bad as CU.
*Can you please do a video on Ryan day/Lincoln Riley*
New hope for colorado
