alright!
Now the question is does my gf get vs. at her house? i sure hope so.
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Baylor just tied it up with Texas
I am glad we dont play them this year.
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Sure does
But now I have to figure out where to go watch the OU game. Im in San Fran and ABC has the Penn State game here,
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Pretty surprised
That Michigan is waxing the Gophers in Minnesota
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Irish is down on the field
He said he was right by Ralphie and a bunch of the recruits.
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
how'd he get that hooked up woods?
The Kennel Report - The Sporting News Has Gonzaga #4 this season, Check us out!
Im not sure
He hadnt mentioned anything until he was there.
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
thats cool, big day for recruits I guess
I was totally planning on going to the game cause I thought there was no way it would be on TV, but since it is I decided not to go. I got some crap I have to do this afternoon, so now I can actually get it done. Every time I go down to boulder for a game I end up getting home around 3am :-)
i figured that
I’m really hoping he plays the whole game. some of the things helfrich said this week made me think he might. who knows though…
Hansen and Scott
Lets see what they can do with extended playing time.
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
yeah really
as bad as things have been lately, if scott and hansen have great games I’ll be really happy
damn, we seem to do that so much
on the first play of a series where we should totally know whats going on we get a penalty
He really does look a lot quicker than their D
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
He ran the wrong way in the pocket there
Please make the kick Jameson
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
yeah, our playcalling when we get in enemy territorry is rediculous
bunch of ticky-tack plays on 1st and 2nd down so we get 3rd and long
I like those picks
where do you bet? (if you don’t mind me asking) online or what? I’ve always made money betting on college sports in vegas, but that is the only time I really do it a lot (except small bets with co-workers and stuff). I kind of want to get into it, but it would probably take over my life, so I probably shouldn’t :-)
used to do it online. Now i use a guy that i went to school with. TCU killed me.
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
ive only used sportsbook.com
i never had any issues with em
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Should be tied
Wonder if we’ll attempt a field goal the rest of the game?
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
How's it going?
Seriously what was all that “we’re going to let Scott prove himself” talk?
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Hansen doesn't work
if teams ignore the play fake.
Reverses are gay. Period. End of Story.
Other than that I’m having a pretty good day, really. Can’t complain, I suppose…
Any time, any where, with anyone.
Reverses don’t work, ever.
exactly, they just hate scott it seems
unless he got hurt on the first run of the game and “took himself out of the game”
There's only one guy on the field
for Colorado that you do not the ball at… and Iowa State just did.
Nice stand by the D
If they dont get me some points here im going to lose it.
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Im pretty sure that if I practiced every day I could do a better job than these two
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Still, why rush that?
Just get the football back…
If you’re Kent Riddle, how do you not just resign to save dignity.
that's the thing that pisses me off
i doubt any coaches will be fired this offseason. even thought helfrich and riddle certainly deserve it
Tennessee
Shut out in the first half at home BY WYOMING.
Can it get any worse for them?
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
and how much better would they have been even without the injuries?
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
Great on the right side
I thought Miller and MTM looked like great maulers in the run game.
The left side has been left unchanged, and that’s the worst side. Solder would be best served returning to tight end next year with Givens taking over at LT. Size be damned, Givens is a mauler with plus feet and athleticism
Wow
we needed that one. Im headed to the bar for the rest of the game gents. Have a good one and Go Buffs
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
ok
so i guess we need to go for two every time as well
The Ralphie Report - University of Colorado Athletics
gone for a while
nobody here? well, I’ve never seen such pathetic special teams in my life. I’m gonna crash on the couch and root on the buffs
young cody hawkins… please please leave him in.
The Kennel Report - The Sporting News Has Gonzaga #4 this season, Check us out!
what's up Broncoman...
I think everyone has left the building.
GO BRONCOS!!!

Not much, just trying to find a live feed of the game
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
Not that shocking, I think Tennessee has thrown in the towel
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
I can't get them to do a live stream over the net, very lame!
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
So I missed the game up to this point, how have we looked
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
defense has been ok
hansen played the entire first half. horrible playcalling. 2 missed field goals of about 30 yards. we had great field position, should be way ahead. same story…
Holy crap...I can't believe this game was on TV the whole time and I was missing in.
I let the wife watch “Shopgirl”….man I’m a dolt.
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:10 PM MST up reply actions
I didn't expect anyone to carry this game nationally
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
Man...if you're QB stands in there to deliver a throw when he knows he's going to git hit,
then that WR HAS to Catch that ball!
GO BRONCOS!!!
some
the first half was weird. we didn’t throw at all, but the playcalling was still lame. quite a bit offset-I, but when when got into the redzone we stalled every time
That TE play had to be a pick play, I can't believe no one would account for him.
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
Man, I really winder who the hell is going to be the QB next year
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
i don't know
i thought maybe hansen, but they didn’t run any passing plays whatsoever first half. can he throw or not? who knows…
Is this thing on?
Can they hear me in the back?
We will not lose this game! (channeling Mike Clark).
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
no huddle can work wonders!
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:29 PM MST up reply actions
off topic...
but how about that Wesley Woodyard character. I think we may have found the real deal there. I wonder if he can play MLB?
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:31 PM MST up reply actions
rookie SAM for the Broncos...
…played against the Browns due to DJ William’s injury and played a MONSTER game!
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:34 PM MST up reply actions
ahh...
that was a good game, saw the second half. broncos must be the only team on the planet to have more injuries than the buffs
I think he is too small unless they get some monster DT to keep him clean
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
Al was a small MLB too.
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:35 PM MST up reply actions
Yeah...
…but it’s the attitude that really makes the difference. I think we found a gamer in Woodyard.
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:37 PM MST up reply actions
I agree, I think you move him to the strong side, and draft a MLB
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
He is a WILL...not a SAM.
My mistake.
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:40 PM MST up reply actions
if you'd watched the first half you wouldn't be that surprised
two missed 30 yard field goals, missed extra point, general sucking
maybe it's a good thing 'Shopgirl' was on...
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:38 PM MST up reply actions
Hey Colorado
Where are the guys who run this thing? I need to know how things are in my favorite blue state?
irish is at the game, woodrow went to a sports bar or something
I love it that we are offically a blue state now, awesome!
don't tell him...
but my dog’s name is Woodrow.
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:38 PM MST up reply actions
Gotcha
Figured I’d make a splash knowing with some certainty that I’m the only guy logged in from Auckland.
WTF was that Hawkins? OMG, more thrusting on my part is needed.
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
They need to slow it down now...
don’t want to give the ball back with two minutes left.
GO BRONCOS!!!
So I take it we will not attempt another FG the rest of the season.
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
So what did the Buffs do with Hawkins, that kid is not the Hawkins I know.
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
Still got 1:30...
Did the announcer just imply that Dan Hawkins is getting layed tonight?
GO BRONCOS!!!
That was clearly a delay of game...
Iowa State may try to have that reviewed. Can they?
GO BRONCOS!!!
too late now...
thinking about it…I think it’d cause a 10 sec run off anyway so there wouldn’t be a point.
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:54 PM MST up reply actions
Does the 10 sec run off apply to college? Or only NFL?
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:57 PM MST up reply actions
I don't think it would matter, they would run the clock for the penalty.
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
our dad gum guys
shut up with the “we’re so young” crap coach. that game was pathetic, thank god we on, I still bleed black and gold, but please, what a mess our team is
Makes it more exciting.
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:56 PM MST up reply actions
yeah...
thank you…it was fun.
You should swing by MHR sometime if you’re a Broncos fan too.
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Nov 8, 2008 2:58 PM MST up reply actions
No problem, that was a fun one, looks like I tuned in for the best quarter
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
nice...
you guys have a good one…good win by the Buffs (their all good wins)
GO BRONCOS!!!
