This was not our plan.
The kids are all graduating within the next four years. We were going to get an RV. I wanted an Airstream, but I wasn’t sure if the interior would be tall enough for him. I love home improvement projects, so I was going to buy an old one and remodel it. I was going to make a podcast studio in it for him.
We were going to travel. I-5 along the West Coast was first on the list. We both loved the ocean so much. We decided we’d go to every state we hadn’t been to yet...but we’d also go out of our way to drive around Nebraska. We’d go to tailgates at CU. I would install a griddle and make muenster grilled cheese sandwiches for everyone, on sourdough, his favorite, while he covered the game.
He said that even after he retired, he still wanted to interview recruits. He looked forward to not having the daily hustle of getting content up, but he knew in his heart that he would never be able to leave sports. We were going to travel to high schools and go to games. He loved talking to high school coaches, parents, and especially young athletes. I was going to take pictures and videos. We were going to find the athletes who were off the radar, the ones in smaller markets, and give them the spotlight they deserved.
The future now looks so different. It is devastatingly sad, but it is not bleak. Somehow, it never has been. The stories, the pictures, the memories, and the outpouring of love have brought us hope in moments when it feels like my chest is collapsing.
I am glad we didn’t wait until “tomorrow” to fully live life together. I had 3,216 days with him, and we lived life in those days.
We traveled. Even though he deeply loved the Celtics his whole life, he had never been to the Garden. For his 40th birthday, I surprised him with a trip to Boston. A few years later, he surprised me with a trip to my number one bucket list destination, Lisbon.
Starting in 2018, I tried to go to one away game with him every year. I got to accompany him to Washington, Minnesota, Utah, TCU, San Antonio, Nebraska, and West Virginia, and twice to Las Vegas for Media Days. All but one of those games, we lost. I was bummed that my pictures kind of fell to the wayside because most people wouldn’t want to remember those games. But we always said the trips were amazing, aside from the football.
Going to New York to cover the Heisman ceremony was one of his favorite experiences. He was awestruck that he had the opportunity to do that, and I was able to go with him.
He’d go on Yelp and find the best places to eat. Nothing under 4.3 stars, unless there was no other option. We’d finish every single trip with a food ranking. He loved a list and a ranking. He’d find out if there was an art museum for us to go to. That was never something he would have done on his own, but he knew I wanted to. He never rushed me. We’d both go at our own pace, and I was always slower. He would be waiting for me at the end of the floor, on his phone. Texting recruits. Sending a newsletter. Calling a coach. I’d walk over, he’d look up and smile, turn his phone off immediately, and we’d go to the next floor.
Sometimes life would allow us to go on a spontaneous trip, and we did. When they announced that Kansas was playing in the first round of the tournament in Salt Lake City, he said, “You know, I don’t have anything big coming up and the kids aren’t here that weekend… we could actually drive there.”
And we did.
He went with me on a work trip to South Dakota because he hadn’t been there before. I ended up having to drive because that was the week Mel Tucker left. He was on his phone and computer most of the trip, but he put it away so we could go to Mount Rushmore and see all the places from North by Northwest. He loved Hitchcock and old movies.
We drove out to Lawrence, Kansas, to watch a KU basketball game almost every year. I am the Jayhawk, but he appreciated the history and the legacy, and he became a fan too. He loved that I loved sports. In October last year, he spontaneously said maybe we should go to Late Night in the Phog. So we did.
Sometimes we’d just go to an Airbnb in Boulder after a game instead of going home, just so we could experience something new. Or we’d take a weekend to stay in Golden with the kids.
I wanted more days. I wanted more years. But I am so thankful we didn’t wait for the “right” time to enjoy life together. We experienced life together to the fullest, every single one of those days we had.
Please take the trip. Treat yourself to really, really great food. Go to a hotel in your own city. Find somewhere that shows old movies. Go to a museum that maybe isn’t something you would normally seek out. Make time with your friends and family. Tell people you love them often, to the point of too much. Hug them.
We are not promised tomorrow, but we do have today.

On Aug. 2, 2018, the first day of Colorado's fall camp, @adamcm777 asked if I wanted to do an analysis video together.

"We'll see if anyone watches," he said. “If a few hundred people watch maybe we’ll do more.”

More than 1,000 Buffs fans watched that first video. We were blown away, so we kept doing them. For the past 8 years we’ve collaborated on hundreds of videos, and it was a blast to do them after practices, after games, and even on Times Square after a Heisman ceremony.

I don't think either of us could count the amount of times CU fans would come up to us around town, in airports, or in stadiums, to tell us that they watched and enjoyed our videos. It meant a lot to Adam, and it meant a lot to me because we did it for fans and enjoyed interacting with them.

It’s truly an honor that so many Buffs fans associate me with Adam because of those videos. He was a true pro, he was a true friend and I’m forever grateful to have had him in my life.

[Brian Howell @BrianHowell33]

All day, I've been hearing from former CU Buffs coaches and players, current staff & media colleagues, former media colleagues, and fans. The outpouring of love and support for Adam & Liz is a true testament to their character and how many people have been blessed to know them!

[GOC @GocMalual]

Glory to God as I proudly announce my commitment to Colorado. Grateful to Coach Boyle, Coach Tomlinson, and Sean Tribe for their belief in me and for giving me the opportunity to grow and elevate my basketball journey.

[Jake Stevens @JakeStevens7]

Another example of @RickGeorgeCU doing absolutely nothing for CU.

@flovom, hopefully you can do more to support Tad

[Pat Rooney @prooney07]

#CUBuffs coming in last in this poll doesn't surprise me one bit. I've tried to explain to the Fire Tad crowd over the years to be careful what you ask for. Between the arena, lack of NIL & more, hoops coaches don't see Boulder as the opportunity some fans might think.

CSU light years ahead of CU with respect to game environment…

Another example of how terrible @RickGeorgeCU has been for the @CUBuffs.. desperate for a competent AD

[Tyler Ziskin @TZiskBuffs]

Being unable to recruit legitimate talent was not on my Coach Prime bingo card.

There were always staff/coaching ability concerns, but it never even crossed my mind we’d struggle to attract top talent.

It’s far superior to what we had before, but not nearly what I expected.

[Tom Fornelli @TomFornelli]

I won't pretend that it's an easy decision for Lane Kiffin. When he says he's struggled with it, I believe him. The part of the process driving me up the wall is the amount of people pretending that Kiffin is a victim in this situation. He's currently suffering the consequences of his own actions, nobody else's. Every year coaches are presented with opportunities to leave or stay. Nobody else has dragged it out this way. Nobody else has considered leaving his team in the middle of a playoff run. It's a unique situation, not a fundamental flaw in the sport.

[Jake Stevens @JakeStevens7]

“below average” may have been a more accurate description, but if this prevents us from having to pretend this greasy moron positively impacted CU Athletics during a basketball timeout, I’ll take it.

[Colorado Football/Basketball Radio Network @CURadioNetwork]

Very classy from K-State for @RickGeorgeCU!

[Tyler Ziskin @TZiskBuffs]

Tad Boyle. That is all.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

The Big 12 has gotten unexpected mileage out of several teams this week:

Arizona State beat Texas in Maui
TCU beat Florida in San Diego

Building equity.

[Jake Stevens @JakeStevens7]

@TZiskBuffs Just an amazing job by Tad, so much fun!

[Tyler Ziskin @TZiskBuffs]

Which is the case with transfers as well. Most of the best players on this team arrived as freshmen, not out of the portal.

This made sense Year 1 and Year 2.

It’s now Year 4. Transfers are available for two reasons:

They weren’t playing/producing
They are chasing money.
