Colorado vs Colorado State

Pretty tough picking for you lately Deno. It is almost as if you have lost your ability to pick games. That Jets game really was another one that exposed you. Now sure how you recover from some of those really bad picks.

Weren't you the guy that picked TCU over Colorado?

Someone should print your picks on toilet paper so I can wipe my ass with them.

Do me a favor, go over to my thread about NFL Starts Tonight, now check out my plays.

Ended up 21-7 and it's all there.

Who took Colorado to beat TCU give me a name, dude NOBODY had Colorado beating TCU .

Why was TCU favored by 21?

There were probably only about 10 of those 28 games where there was much doubt about who would win and you went 3-7 in those games. It cannot get much worse so maybe you can turn it around.

Been doing this since the early 60's, always end up winning TONS of football games this will be no different.

Many times winning pick um contests.

What 10 games you talking about? Think you are BSing.

This will be fun.

Who can forget?

Neon Deno Sanders, that's who rookie.

NCAA football, gotta love it. So many schools so many players, who has heard of Blufton, how about Elon? NAIA, DivII, DivIII, hell all those JC's.

Thing about the college game is a loss is huge, massive so we get more drama than we see in the NFL knowing 4-5 losses can still get a team in the playoffs. A loss not devastating like it is in the college game.

The bad thing about the college game is that LSU vs Grambling thing, that needs to stop. Betting lines of 40 points, hell some so bad ....no line. Has to stop.

The best example of dominance ever seen in football.

Back in the 40's an all black HS in Tennessee, went undefeated for a few seasons, the first season they were unscored on, think about that. While pretty amazing not as amazing as this.......no opponet passed the 50 yard line all season. That is hard to buy I know but very true.

Getting back to Blufton. Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion was considered to be the fast payer in the young AFL he was a Bills WR, yep......out of Blufton. Where is Blufton?

Nobody here took Colorado to beat TCU, who takes a 21 point dawg on the road? Make that......NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You rookies don’t get it

Watching football isn’t about “picks” - it’s about imagining what all those big buff men would do to you. thinking about being on the bottom of a big naked pile of them. Sheeeeeeeesh.

Who has ever seen an NAIA game?

These teams should absolutely be playing each other each year and if I had my way I’d put them in the same conference.

I traveled to some track meets with Early Thomas back in the 1980s. He played for CSU and was a cornerback for the Jets in their 1969 Super Bowl win. He was running about 50 flat for 400 in his 40s, which was very competitive back then. Came back to Colorado after his pro career and worked for CSU, and did a lot of youth coaching, and was involved with the community.

CSU beat CU in 1958 and the Buffs refused to play them for 25 years. The series was resurrected in 1983, and it's usually CU's game to lose. The have played at Mile High's 75,000 -80,000 seat stadium and it's usually a sell out. They stopped a few years ago but good to have the game back.

CU will roll CSU this year. It wasn’t always that way.

I am a bit confused... is your "gets no bigger than this" reference to a CU CSU game that if it were not for Deion very few would care about and that would be on CBSSN or is it about the Hail Mary pass to beat Michigan?

If it is the latter, what does it have to do with the CU-CSU game?

I'll take your answer off air.

It's a reference to BBC. When you can't be at Motel 6, watching men roll around on the football field is the next best thing.

Bradlee Van Pelt is my favorite college football player of all time. ESPN and ESPN2 used to have a lot of Mountain West games on back in the day and CSU got a ton of airtime. Watching Van Pelt run over defenses and lower his shoulder and talk trash made him one of the most exciting players to watch. He had an excellent arm too and could wreck opposition in a number of ways. He only cared about winning and laying a beating on other teams. I was really bummed when he finally graduated and I feel CSU football has not been respected since.

I actually had colorado over tcu straight up for 1k. Why? I know Prime is him and was on board from day 1. Kicking myself that I didn't bet more actually. I hammered them for 10k vs nebraska and I'm taking them to cover the 3tds against Colo State and that's because Colo State sucks now.
