Recruiting black athletes outside of the South and places like LA is a problem everywhere.

The things people casually drop into conversation about recruiting a black person that they would never in a million years consider posting about recruiting a white person never ceases to amaze ("Tuscaloosa is a minority white city, this is going to make it a problem for Alabama to recruit Arch Manning").

But casual racial bias aside, this has really never been true. Outside of some moderate regional associations, the best players always have & always will overwhelmingly go where the best programs are. Winning a couple more games a season is about 100x more impactful to 95% of recruits than whether they see a few faces passing on the streets who are of the same skin color as them.

Lincoln NE, Norman OK, Happy Valley PA, Ann Arbor MI, Eugene OR, South Bend IN, Austin TX, Columbus OH, and on and on it goes. Win, and it becomes a background issue real quick.

Also when Colorado had their program rocking in the 90s, black athletes from south central Los Angeles LOVED Boulder. McCartney had tons of Cali recruits.

So again, the idea that no good HS recruits will go to CU is not true.

"So Heather, by December, Colorado will be what?" Greenberg asked her.

"An afterthought, Greeny, with four wins," she responded.

I do not think you appreciate the culture shock for a number of black athletes contemplating leaving the South and picturing 4 years without seasoning.

the tldr for all of you:
Colorado claimed their systems were possibly compromised and Oregon was involved, Colorado's technology vendor confirmed nothing happened, Pac-12 tried to investigate, Colorado backed off the claims without providing any actual information.

Interesting. Wonder who the technology vendor was.

Interesting. Wonder who the technology vendor was.

Word on the street was Big Red Tech based out of Alliance, NE.

And yes, I'm full of shit.

I have an uncle who did twenty years in the Navy and lived all over hell, including seven years in Sicily. Every year on Christmas my mom packaged up a few bottles of DL and sent them to him. That's all he wanted since he couldn't get it anywhere but Nebraska.

Colorado is the biggest brand in college football and arguably in U.S. sports.

They actually believe that, it's so far from being true. Colorado will be a nothing brand by the end of the year.

I actually am highest on CU of anyone on this board. I picked them to go 7-5. I think CU will not fall apart this year and they're better than 99% of what Husker fans think they are.

I just think this is a bad matchup for CU. On the road vs a good team (NU). Plus it's against a DC (Tony White) that absolutely had their number last year.

I personally think White's had this game circled on his calendar all year like Steve Buscemi in Billy Madison. And that's not good for Mr Shedildo.

It still blows my mind that we had eight(!) sacks in that game and still lost.

Not sure what to make of this Puffaloe fan run in I had at the gym yesterday.

Comes up to me and asked if I was from Nebraska.

I said yes and he proceeds to tell me he’s going to the game in LNK and hopes Nebraska kicks the shit out of CU. Said he can’t stand Prime but is a die hard puff fan.

I could have a beer with that guy.
