The outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, but glad I got to fly out to Colorado from NC to meet my dad for some needed father-son time.

Maybe Charlotte should pause this project …

Construction on the Charlotte 49ers stadium is coming along. The $70M project is expected to be completed ahead of the 2027 football season.

Here's what a clearly quite frustrated (he used "very" 5-6 times in a row to describe his frustration level with defensive performance) said after Colorado State's loss to UTSA coloradoan.com/story/sports/…

Here's a look at what Jim Mora said after CSU's loss to UTSA, including thoughts on the defense, K'saan Farrar's performance and more.

How do you score 45 points and lose by 14? It has never been more clear that Tyson Summers doesn’t have what it takes to be the defensive coordinator at Colorado State. He shouldn’t have that title Monday.

RJ Vick is the best receiver no one outside of Colorado is talking about.

Nice adjustment by Tracy and the offensive play calling this second half. Need defense to match. CSU back down only by 7.

Complete incompetence by Tyson Summers and the CSU defense in the first half. Inexcusable. At the same time, Pryce Tracy has called a poor game offensively. Jim Mora did not get his team prepared for UTSA, and it’s hard to watch.

Yep, just turned the TV off. Officially giving up on Tyson Summers. It’s one thing to have bad tackling and give up 21 points against ranked BYU. Doing it against UTSA after a 14-0 start is just flat out incompetency.

90 rush yards allowed in 6 minutes. CSU passing defense has been pretty good this year but this is so brutal against the run.

Tyson Summers’ approach to stopping the run encapsulated by UTSA’s first play from scrimmage 🤦🏻‍♂️

One. Last. Run. Head Coach Steve Alford will close an illustrious 36-year coaching career, including eight years at the Wolf Pack 🐺 helm, following the 2026-27 season. The final run begins Nov. 2 at Lawlor! READ ➡️ nevadawolfpack.com/news/2026… #BattleBorn | #PackParty

Shoutout to Sean Tynan. He’s got perhaps the best tailgate vehicle around—a 1977 GMC CSU Rams motor home, and he’s always one of the first in the parking lot on game days.

Jacksonville needs to admit this is Trevor Lawrence’s ceiling. He’s a perfectly above average NFL QB who will keep you in the AFC South chase but nothing more. As a Jaguars fan, I was over it last year. Still am.

As bad as the Panthers’ defense was last week, they showed an incredible bounce-back in Atlanta. Are the Falcons using their 3rd and 4th QB options? Yes, but holding an NFL team to 3 points should never be overlooked.

No kidding Devin Lloyd just got a pick-6 just as I sent this tweet. 2 INTs (including pick 6), tipped pass to force another INT, sack and 2 tackles for loss. One of the best LB games in recent memory.

Genuinely love the way Colorado State’s backups are in there and still fighting with BYU’s.
