--Looks like the Ex-Buffs armed robbery duo will be charged today. Its a sad story but at the same time, very embarrassing for the program especially since it happened in Boulder near the campus. The team has a lot to prove to the CU administration and staff to gain its credibility back in terms of being thought of as "good citizens." I know its not fair but once again, that is the expectations around playing Division 1 football.
--On a funny note, if anyone listened to the Herd this morning on ESPN radio, he was commenting on college football players committing crimes and the success level of their respective teams after the dismissal of Alabama LB Jimmy Johns for selling drugs. The Herd jokingly said something to the effect of "Bama is now a national title contender. Just look at all of the championship contenders like FSU, Florida, Ohio State, LSU...they all have off the field issues. Duke and Vanderbilt no off the field incidents and they aren't competing for anything." Under this logic, Colorado is a couple more arrests away from making it to the big time.
--Former Colorado Basketball star, Richard Roby is highlighted in a rivals.com article, if you have access, discussing his desire to play in the NBA. Roby, since getting injured in the NBA pre-draft camp, has fallen off of many draft boards and looks to be heading for Europe. The NBA draft is coming up Thursday night.
--Speaking of rivals.com, they are counting down the 2008 College Football pre-season rankings from the bottom up. They are currently on #37 with Florida State taking that spot. No sign of the Buffs yet which is a good thing as they continue to get respect on a National level. I probably jinxed them with the post and they will show up as #36. They can't go much longer with that ridiculous schedule.
--Former Buffs WR, Dusty Sprague has been added to the Colorado Crush (AFL) practice squad in preparation for the upcoming playoffs.
--We need football so this blog doesn't turn into a CU blog about Track & Field. On that note, two Buffs on the Track & Field team are going to compete in the U.S. Trials.
--67 days until kickoff at Mile High Stadium
