3 years ago they averaged 49,000 per game when they went 4-8.
Last night they got 52,000. Woohoo. They'll be lucky to finish .500

was in no way expecting WVU to pull that one out yesterday after the Pitt choke job. Glad to be wrong but it's probably going to take 6-7 more wins this year for Brown to keep his job from what I've heard from some connected people. The job's basically Jimbo's after this season if he wants it if the team has a 500-ish finish. The next 3 games are BRUTAL but 2 are at home. The 5 after that are all winnable, even going out to Tuscon.
Personally Hartline (dude deserves a shot at a P5 HC gig) and Dan Mullen are the two names I'd be after, but Jimbo being from Clarksburg is going to get the boosters attention.

Wrong, in 2021 their BIGGEST home crowd was 49k. Their average that year was 46k.
Barely more than the 45k avg when they went 1-11 back in 2012.
Capacity at Folsom Field is 50k. Not sure what number would impress you here?
It’s crazy that Sherrone Moore knew he had Will Johnson coming back and an elite D-Line and didn’t get a QB in the portal. Michigan has one of the best lines in college. They made easy work of USC up front. No issues getting to the QB. Secondary is trash but that’s on Wink. If Moore got a QB they would be one hell of a team to beat. I have zero idea what they see in Orji, this guy couldn’t read a play or defense if his life depended on it. He can’t throw, his first thought is hand it off or run with it.
It’s criminal that Moore has this D and has a RB acting like a QB. Shameful

Yes it has. He’s been a boon to the program. It won’t last, but it still is right now, and the TV audiences reflect that.
Saw someone today with an Eagles hoodie and Colorado hat.
Boon to the program how?
The results aren't better, he has screwed them over for the long term by not recruiting high schoolers and the only PR he does is for himself and his sons.
He will leave this year and Colorado will have not won anything, not competed for anything and been far worse off than when he came in.

Do you think Colorado/Colorado State gets a prime time spot on a broadcast network if literally anybody else was coaching?
How about Baylor/Colorado?
Here’s the secondary market for their game at UCF next week, which sounds like it will be mid afternoon on Fox

For Colorado it makes them money and them valuable and gives them - and their opponents - visibility. I’m not trying to tell you it’s making them a winning program, that will still need to actually happen and I don’t think it will, but it’s obvious that Deion has been a net-positive to date.
Makes them peanuts and for a very short time.
When you look at the long term damage that will happen in the next 5 years when the new guy is trying to recover from the lack of building Deion has done any short term positives now, which are zero, will be lost.
Had they hired a real coach, who built a quality (for Colorado) program that would have had a far bigger and better impact than Deion.

What long term damage? They were a dead program. They sold out season tickets, like, the day he was announced.
They weren't a dead program though, they had one bad year because of Mel Tucker screwing them over. They weren't any worse before that then they are now under Deion.
Now for the next five years they are set up to go back to the low point because Deion hasn't done any recruiting for anything other than to set up Shadeur to put up empty stats. As pointed out already in this thread the tickets sales aren't much better than they were pre-Deion.
The fact the Deion nut huggers can't see the effects that his incompetence will bring once his son is gone shows that like Deion, you have no interest in football and only the fake PR show he is trying to create.
Maybe next Colorado can hire Taylor Swift since football seems to have no place at CU anymore.

Nobody said they were Alabama, also not sure why the COVID season gets thrown out other than to boost you argument.
I think there is a gap between having the circus that Deion brings that screws your program over for years and being great. Sure if the level is Karl Dorrell then it doesn't matter, but there is no reason Colorado can't hire a competent coach and be a good, not great program.
With the roster Deion is leaving behind even a good coach won't be able to get them to compete around .500. That isn't good. Two non-Bowl seasons under Deion doesn't make that worth while.

Ok they were 4-2 in 2020 with no fans. You were the one complaining about rushing the field for a fan base that hasn’t had many chances to do it for the last 20 years.
Nobody did say they were Alabama. They took a calculated risk, and they’re not paying that much either. They’re not in the sphere to get a top coach, and a good hire is definitely getting poached by a bigger school. They took a huge swing.

And they’re still far more relevant than they would be otherwise despite the record. If you’re gonna suck, may as well make some bank.
Where I disagree is that their supposed "relevance" does anything to help them. This is not resulting in them performing better on the field, marginal performance in attendance, and most importantly will have zero impact moving forward.
If this was going to result in them levelling up in either they play or long term success sure then it would be good but they are getting two years of bad football and no long term benefit.
The only people benefitting is Deion selling his brand and Shedeur being over drafted next spring.
