Stuart
of CUattheGame.com did piece on Buff Super Bowl Trivia. I only got about 3.5 out
of the 10 questions, but of the total possible 17 answers I did get half or 8.5
(if I take .5 if for the 3rd choice on #10) and I should have gotten
two more with the Pittsburgh guy! How did you do? http://www.cuatthegame.com/2013/colorado-daily-6/
A
few more Colorado football notes since kickoff isn't until forever:
CU Recruiting: The number of verbal
commitments is 17 and counting?
Some
clarity has come out around indecisive three-star prospect CB Chidobe Awuzie’s
“busy and confusing week”: He was visited last Monday night by Mike Leach and
some other Wazzu coaches who “pressured” him into committing to their “last
scholarship”, but he immediately de-committed Tuesday morning. Supposedly, there has also been interest from
Wisconsin and Oregon St. He told Brett
Sobleski of ESPN that he is “leaning to Colorado” but I am not sure exactly
when that was. Awuzie met with Buff
coaches Tuesday night and said that he would decide over the weekend and notify
coaches, but will not announce his decision until Wednesday. He sounds very confident and wants to be
clear that he is not egotistic, but just wanted to make the right decision for
himself and then make a formal announcement at his school and “let everyone get
excited.” Well, at least we get a little drama and anticipation with Signing
Day. Here’s Adam M’s full story via
Ralphie Report: http://www.ralphiereport.com/buffaloes-football-recruiting/2013/2/1/3939664/san-jose-cornerback-chidobe-awuzie-college-decision-saturday
Still
no official word either from S Tedric Thompson, who was reportedly deciding
between the Buffs, Fresno St. and Minnesota.
However, the Fresno Bee reported that he had committed to Fresno St.,
possibly even from his visit to Minnesota (read: not sure which weekend he
visited Boulder but doesn’t really like the cold?).
WR
Coach (and recruiting coordinator
according to CUBuffs.com) Troy Walters tweeted that he went to LA from
Southeast Houston to “finish this recruiting season off right”.
Stuart
of CUattheGame.com did a piece on the greyshirts (WR Jeff Thomas, DE Derek
McCartney, LB Addison Gilliam via SJSU) and the one early enrollee (Markus
Reid) who are already on campus and will be practicing in January. I am not sure why he left off OL Gerald Kough,
but he did include returning-from-school-suspension walk-on WR Austin Vincent:
Coaches
are also working on the 2014 class as Adam M. from Rivals reported that Mike
MacIntyre and two other CU coaches (Lindgren and Walters?) have gone and
watched HS junior QB Morgan Mahalak throw in Kentfield, CA. Former QB coach had already been recruiting
him previously.
Adam
also did a piece on WR/TE Jason Gaines, almost-brother to QB Shane Dillon, who
is attending JC and hopes to join his friend in Boulder next January.
Other Program Notes: Andy LaRussa was originally listed as one
of the San Jose coaches following MacIntyre to Colorado, but then was not
included when they announced most of the staff.
Now it appears he is indeed the “corners” coach as Adam M. of Rivals
reported that LaRussa and Charles Clark (Safeties coach) visited Awuzie. That would leave only a “special teams
coordinator” slot vacant on the coaching staff.
Weird.
Tom
Kensler of the Post received a glowing endorsement of Mike MacIntyre in an
email from a San Jose fan/booster: http://blogs.denverpost.com/colleges/2013/01/31/passing-email-letter-colorado-coach-macintyre-san-jose-st-supporter/26635/
Keenan
Canty tweeted out Friday morning “Workouts was serious this morning”.
Go
Buffs!
Happy 50th Anniversary to Judy and Bob Dippo, long-time Buff
faithful, season ticket holders who have rarely missed a home game in over
forty years at Folsom Field!
