CU 2009 Offseason Thread

[rockrules40]

I expect B-Lock to be a huge part of this offense this year... B-Lock is the man!

[Brody Epic]

Also, Brody...how do you feel about Ray Carter transferring in? It looks like you got some pretty good young talent back there...will he start when he's eligible? Or do you think these guys will come in and play well?

Would you agree with my assessment of CSU? I watched only a couple games and those were some guys that stood out to me.

Yeah, I would agree. The Rick Brewer loss is absolutely devastating IMO, we are already very unproven in the Front 7. I believe we will be able to get production on the ground with a strong OL. But the fact they were are breaking in a new QB, First Start ever, at Folsom in a crazy atmosphere makes me nervous. I am on Rivals, do you use the same handle on there?

[Brody Epic]

STR8, I also agree about Pat White, but that is going to be a very very difficult game to win on the road. If CU gets out of the OOC at 4-0 you could be looking at a Cotton Bowl type bowl game, possibly. The Carter transfer, well I am very excited, he has some injury history, so really hoping he can stay healthy and contribute in '10

i think our linebackers are well suited to play the 3-4 but our linemen are not right for it at all. we don't have anyone that can play nose tackle, and where is kasa going to fit in? i think we have defensive tackles that are well suited for 4-3 but not the 3-4. but we don't have good defensive ends for the 4-3. i don't see our front 7 meshing well for either the 4-3 or the 3-4 because of this.

your breakdown of every game was impressive though. you really did your research on other teams' key losses and strengths and weaknesses

Kasa has the size to play a 3-4 end, and providing Nuckols gets in...there ya go

Sisson is a great LB for you guys though, was very surprised to see he had the type of season he did last year. I use str8jacket08 and post sparingly though. I just like the info and reading the MB sometimes is funny

We'll see, It all depends on if we can stay healthy or not. The first couple games absolutely messed up our whole season last year. That's good about Carter, I was kinda surprised to see he chose you guys, no offense intended.

Tight end Kyle Slavin from Colorado committed to CU today.

[ChefBoyRD]

And QB Brett Nottingham, who we thought was a cu lean, has gone to Slick Ricky's program.

[str8jacket]

Shaun Simon is ineligible for the upcoming season

[str8jacket]

NR Nick Hirschman, QB is the Buffaloes 4th commit of the season.

[ChefBoyRD]

Shaun Simon is ineligible for the upcoming season

Seems like a nice kid who really wants to play for CU. Hope he gets it together to play soon. He's apparently only a couple of classes away.

[DrunkPanda]

he was expected to redshirt anyway so it's not a big deal. although him deciding to "take it easy" with the schoolwork at the end of his senior season might be a problem. hope he doesn't decide to take it easy with school once he gets into CU

They offered him a gray shirt, and he didnt sound like he wanted to do that.

(Quote to self)

Scratch this, he plans on gray shirting

Im starting to get really excited for the RMS Str8. Are you going to the game? I will be there tailgating with some CU Friends in the KitWest parking lot. I think I am also going to play in the RMS Golf Tourney at Glenmoor the week before the game.

I've been excited since the Nebraska game

And yeah, we've got season tickets so I'll be at every game this year. Plan on going to a couple away games as well.

I'll be tailgaiting too
