I actually want CU to beat TCU just to see you have to scramble/backpedal afterwards.
You've got 10,000 "fire Rhule" posts pre-written on tPB for when Nebraska loses to "the worst CFB team in modern history." If Colorado actually wins at TCU in week one, you're gonna have to re-write all 10,000 posts.
I hate CU, but I'm kind of rooting for this scenario just to ruin your straw man narrative.

Why would that make me scramble? I’m the only one on here who has said that i think Colorado might be worth a damn and got torn apart for it. I’ve been called “Deion lover” so if colorado beats TCU it will actually strengthen my narrative!

I've also said that CU could be worth a damn. I think NU fans are crazy delusional thinking our 4-8 program is going to waltz in to a road game and win by 17+ pts.
I like CU to cover the +21 at TCU. If it's CU +8 vs Nebraska I'll take CU to cover that as well.
I actually think Colorado will be decent in the first 3-5 games of the year. I think by NOV their injuries/lack of depth is going to be a problem. But first month I think they'll be decent and will get a surprise win or two (potentially against Nebraska).

I think their lack of practice together under new systems is going to hurt them early in the season and then like you said the lack of depth will hurt them late. I think it is going to be a fantastic trainwreck of a season to watch. I've got their over/under at 1.5. Really don't see any more than 2 wins on their schedule as a possibility. They are going to suck and it's going to be great.

You may end up being right. My point is that NU fans are setting themselves up for a fall if their base level expectations for that game is NU winning by at least 17. It's gonna be a road game w an insane atmosphere. Lot of crazy shit can and probably will happen in that game.
It's not a fact yet that Colorado will be terrible. I think the NU-CU game will be tight, probably a 3-5 pt game.

Will be shocked if they win 3. Doesn't mean Nebraska is going to beat them by 17+ or TCU by 21+. Fully expect Colorado to lose to both though. Got TCU at +19 early.
Every time I see one of the CU videos I try to picture what they would look like without those big padded helmets, I try to give them the benefit of the doubt but there's no way that team doesn't get blown out by 60 in every game.
I do think the padded helmets are a large part of making their players look tiny. But they are probably still not a big team overall. We will find out soon enough how they stack up in real games without the padded helmets. I assume the players dislike the padded helmets, but maybe it is a worthwhile thing to do to protect players.
I know I took (mostly gave but still either way your noggin is getting bounced around) lots of helmet to helmet or similar hits to the head over the years of playing football. 1990's helmet tech was not what it is today. If I had it to do over, knowing what I know now, I would make sure and protect my head more.
