Been a while since I got on the site, computers broken and just figured out how to get a decent browser for my phone
Was going to make a fanpost later but what you guys think of any chance mike comes to boulder with kyle as the HC?
The last OC from houston to go back to college(Calhoun) worked out for everyone

Welcome back
It would be nice, but I would be very very surprised if it was anything but conjuncture at this point. I would love to see it happen but I’m certainly not getting my hopes up.

One more thing
Anyone who lives in CO has to get up to the CEC whenever they can.
The tix are dirt cheap and Jeff needs to know there is a fanbase for the buffs, even tho we don’t have the $$ for facilities he was promised he may not bolt when he gets a chance

I'm gonna get to at least a few games this year
Will be nice to watch an improved Buffs hoops team. Plus, it’s cheaper than taking the kids to a movie.

Got ya.
I thought Baylor was supposed to be pretty good and ISU wouldnt be. Tech has the most experience in the conference and they still suck
