The Deion Sanders effect at Colorado

Love him or hate him, he’s been unreal for Colorado and CFB overall. Program was dead in the water for years…. Combined record of 5-19 the last two seasons before coach Prime arrived. Amazing turnaround in just a short time..


Today's Presser - Anticipation

Will we get something to be excited about?

Or are we destined to walk away with the knowledge we never get the 20-30 minutes of our life back?

These press conferences lately....painful to say the least.

It kind of feels like the moment the doctor tells you he is worried about your enlarged prostate. Then he says we'll know more after my new German PA does her exploration. You know the kind of person I am talking about. She will be lady who looks and acts like a Gestapo Storm Trooper or weighs 350 lbs and walks down the hall looking like a bag of monkeys fighting to get out of a sack.

I am also reminded of the first verse of the classic song from Carly Simon, Anticipation

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasin' after some finer day

Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

Crystal Ball - Oklahoma State

Thought this was worth starting another discussion (apologies if excessive and obviously feel free to merge into "Next Years Line Up")

He has Oklahoma State 3rd with 83 points. Willie's Crystal Ball points by place so while it does bake in bonus, it's a conservative estimate. For example, Dustin Plott scores 15 for getting 3rd (1.5 total bonus) But if he records a tech and 2 majors on his way to 3rd, he's at 17.

He has

Spratley 5
Hughes R12
Jamison R12
Young R12
Travis 0-2 or 1-2 (he only awards if he has R16, aka winning 2 matches at least)
Amine 6
Hamiti 3
Plott 3
Surber 0-2 or 1-2 (like Travis)
Hendrickson 2

IMO these are pretty bearish if anything. Amine has placed 4th twice in deeper 165s and I believe will be rejuvenated. I think giving 3 R12 from 133 to 149 is kind of hedging for one AA in that group (since thats 12 points awarded so that is 2 lower AAs or 1 mid AA) so I actually don't think that's an odd projection (even though it looks weird)

Big thing I am shocked by is predicting the eventual 197 starter to not be R16 when it's either a guy who has been R16 and beaten Elam and has given Buchanan all he wanted (Surber) or is a super college ready stud freshman (Merrill) and they're getting their butts beat by David Taylor all day and night.

MALOSville

Says the team that just paid over $1m a year for their coach, bought Hamiti and Hendrickson in the portal (also their 2 best guys) and will end up paying more for Lockett than they think if they want to keep him.

And Penn State started this money game by paying recruits AFTER they graduated through their RTC.

Iowa is just adjusting like everyone else. But, I agree, their method is not sustainable. They need to show they can recruit out of high school as well. I think they realize this and are working a lot harder on their recruitment game.

Workout Routine to Increase Explosiveness

Has anyone ever heard of either guys?
