Man I’m sure glad I deleted my Reddit account so no one can dig up all my anti-coach prime comments on there

One thing you can't say is that was a boring game.

Side note: I love we're doing game threads on Lemmy!

I hate that I want the buffs to win this

[–] nurple 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ain’t no defense being played on that there field

Fantastic game. As a Jayhawk, I’m looking forward to Colorado coming home to the Big 12.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 5 points 1 year ago

Ok, this Colorado team isn't just hype. That was a great opening drive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TCU will finish in the bottom half of the Big XII this year.

[–] TORFdot0 2 points 1 year ago

Either Colorado hit a Homerun with Prime or TCU is in trouble

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 4 points 1 year ago

WOW! Interception in the endzone. The Buffs are for real!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The CU defense held up longer than I thought, but they seem to be roughly who we expected. The CU offense is coming together much quicker than I thought, I'll admit it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Well... CU marches the whole length of the field to draw first blood. Did not expect that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

CUs offense is really impressive. If they go up by two scores right off the bat that could be huge.

[–] TORFdot0 4 points 1 year ago

The offense in this game is like a heavyweight bout. Can’t believe that Prime is already got the buffs rolling on offense. Sean Lewis was a really good hire and I thought he’d be a P5 head coach by now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This game is much more exciting than I expected.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Man I don't want to turn away, but I have to pick up a pizza to get back before the 3:30 games... Should have ordered delivery

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

oof, well you win some you loose some. Good drive for the cavs

edit: wrong game thread but you get the idea

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well, that happened. 'Scuse me, between my alma mater on Thursday and my wife's alma mater, also my local team for the last two decades....

I think I have kerosene to go drink. Worst part of this is now I actually need Colorado to be legitimately good all year so this doesn't look as bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can’t believe how well he’s still playing after over 100 snaps. Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up the whole season without being injured

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Boy, the whole Big Noon Kickoff show was basically a Colorado show... It would be hilarious if TCU absolutely crushes the Buffs

Blocked FG!!!

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 3 points 1 year ago

Good Block by TCU

[–] MrCyan 3 points 1 year ago

Buffs living up to the hype.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For Colorado this is already a massive improvement over last year. I feel they will be top tier in the next three years. Just in time for my own kid to start going there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I feel like I was higher than consensus on Colorado coming into the season but this is still way better than I predicted. Granted, TCU could just be way worse than expected, but this is still great for Colorado. Should be an exciting future for the Big 12

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Granted, TCU could just be way worse than expected

What was expected from them? They certainly shouldn't be #17 in the AP poll. They lost so many guys. The only thing really going for them is if you think Sonny Dykes is really good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah they definitely just have a legacy rank based on making the NCG last year, realistically they shouldn’t have been ranked. But they were still expected to be top half of the Big 12.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hunter is wild

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Still better tackling than USC.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Coach Prime!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

With these lead changes, this game has become much more exciting than I anticipated

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Score: 24-21

Gus Johnson: Looks like we got an old-fashioned Big XII game

This isn't even the final form of Big XII football. Just wait until triple overtime...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are we still getting post-game coverage when the game went over? They need to switch the broadcast to the Texas game already

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 2 points 1 year ago

They knew what everyone is going to talk about all week.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can’t believe how quickly this cobbled-together team is looking like the real deal. I never would’ve imagined them doing this good. And I don’t think TCU looks bad either, other than Morris.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 2 points 1 year ago

So, does Colorado now have two Heisman contenders on it? I think so.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 2 points 1 year ago

The hype is for real.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 year ago

Some backyard football here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hate to say it, but I think Deion is the real deal, at least going from this game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Just walks into the end zone. Not great D by the Buffs there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Have family in town and haven't been able to pay attention like I might have liked. Probably the best thing for my blood pressure.

Nice return! Go Frogs!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Feels like TCU really needed that field goal. Momentum is all with CU still.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

OK, maybe this fumble will bring the momentum TCU's way

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A catch in with that coverage is straight up impressive yo

edit: well...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Last team to have the ball is going to win this. Both defenses are out of gas
