Going out to Boulder for Thanksgiving and have tickets to the Buffaloes vs. Utes game on Saturday. Colorado has had a good hear so far and has a pretty good coach. Rumor is he is being considered for the head coach at LSU. Any insights on the Colorado Buffaloes that I can take with me?
Buffs probably are not the 10th best team in the country but what McIntyre has done there is remarkable. I don't think people remember what an absolute dumpster fire he inherited from the Hawkins and Embree eras.
And now the same people who swore McIntyre was a bad hire who would never produce a .500 team will swear it's all due to a weak schedule. And the same gasbags who bitched about him not giving a scholarship to the gritty two-star from Smoky Hill High claim that his recruits don't have impressive enough offer sheets.
Frankly I don't see McIntyre leaving this year, but I suppose it could happen. He doesn't seem like a guy who would be wowed by the SEC, but we'll see. He played at Vanderbilt so there might be some regional ties there.
CU-Utah should be a good game. Utes are out of the division title race so they might be flat. But CU lost a couple really good players to injury yesterday and I don't know their status. I might go if I get back to Colorado in time, but not sure about that yet. Have fun and enjoy the game.
