Running 2021-22 CFB Thread

Apropos of nothing, but I once interviewed for an assistant SID position at Southern Illinois. I met SID Fred Huff at the convention in St. Louis, he flew me to Carbondale and wined and dined me for a weekend. Our first stop was a booster party. "Watch yourself," he advised. "They're likely to throw us in the pool."

 

Hope enough other Coloradans see Boyle the same as you.

In an era when programs want a big name, a hot name, someone with high-major experience, I thought it was a solid move to simply identify a guy who was getting it done in nearby Greeley and slide him over to Boulder. Seems to be about substance.

For a program to earn a Sweet 16 berth that has only Chauncey Billups and Spencer Dinwiddie to show for most of the last 20-plus years would be a massive boost.

 

Colorado is NOT about college sports. Glad I'm not in Fort Collins over the next couple of days since my alma mater is facing Colorado State in the NIT (but truthfully, the eyes are on Texas as the women have a shot to make a big tournament run).

 

It needs to be said - THE PAC-12 is 4-0-1 in the first round!!!!!! Suck it ACC.

 

I don't think interest in Colorado basketball will increase as long as the Joker is with the Nuggets. The Nuggets will get the attention. and I don't expect many McDonals's All-Americans to show up in Boulder anytime soon.

But Boyle has a good thing going. He consistently fields competitive teams in the Pac 12, something the football team has failed to do. Given the apathy towards college hoops in Colorado and the school's lack of historical success Boyle has one of the safest coaching jobs around. This tournament run will pretty much guarantee him at least a couple more years. If Boyle goes .500 in the conference the school will be happy. After all, this is a school that gave Ricardo Patton 11 years.

 

Doyel says Indy will call Bennett and then move on depending on his answer. Why would he leave UVa, where he won a national title, to go to Indiana which hasn't mattered in decades?

 

Not interchangeable.

 

Is Virginia a football school or a basketball school?
Of course I understand it has had far more success on the court, but the people in my life who went there seem to me to be more interested in the football team.

 

Lacrosse

 

Well put.



The FBS does not want to take a chance on a Gonzaga or a UConn Women's type of team breaking the P5 monopoly. Pretty much that simple.
