Not a word was spoken during this beautiful piece...because no words were necessary. What a moment. Forever grateful I was there to witness his long awaited return to IU, which we all knew was also his goodbye.

CSU played better Saturday in Boulder. Now it’s time to be better.

We deserve that from Colorado State.

CSU was the laughing stock of college football a week ago. Everyone outside of Fort Collins thought Jay Norvell was a joke. ESPN did a lazy week of coverage, and a somehow lazier GameDay where all they did was talk about hats and glasses.

Turns out, Jay Norvell can coach. He showed he could coach so well, he out-coached Deion Sanders for most of the game (except, unfortunately, the most critical junctures), and no one in the national media has muttered CSU’s coach’s name since.

The national narrative around CSU football has shifted. No longer is this program a joke. Now it’s worse.

“CSU it’s dirty.”

And after what we witnessed Saturday night in Boulder, can you blame anyone who views CSU that way?

CSU played dirty. There’s no way around it.

It’s been two days. I’ve slept on this a lot and tried to see it any other way, but I can’t. Even as a graduate. Even as someone who stayed up until almost 3 a.m. hoping to see his alma mater finally beat its rival. It’s not subjective to say CSU played dirty on defense.

I’m not talking about Mo Kamara’s two late hits on Shedeur Sanders — those were reckless, not dirty. But the barrage of unsportsmanlikes, the pushing of CU players’ helmets into the dirt after the whistle (and the list goes on …), that was dirty.

And Henry Blackburn? He was head hunting.

There’s no defending the threats Blackburn and his family have reportedly received in the aftermath. There’s also no defending the hit he hospitalized Travis Hunter with. He could have had an easy interception and helped his team but he aimed for pain instead. That’s not football.

No one outside of Colorado is going to remember next week that CSU almost knocked off Coach Prime and the Buffs. They will remember that hit LeBron James was tweeting about, the one that’s circulating all over X, Instagram and TikTok. And for CSU, that’s worse than being laughed at for a week on ESPN.

Joe Parker has told me before that social media isn’t real life, and fans shouldn’t pay too much attention to it. He’s not entirely wrong. But what Parker, Norvell and CSU need to understand is that for most high school and college kids — the people you want to reach in recruiting and the portal to build this program — nothing feels more real than social media. That video clip is not going away. Nor is the discourse. Norvell was wrong to deflect when asked about it Saturday.

If they don’t address it this week, that will only strengthen the narrative.

CSU should suspend Henry Blackburn for at least one game. Don’t end the senior’s career, but there needs to be a message sent that this kind of play won’t be tolerated, and let it be a teaching opportunity.

The leap CSU made from Game 1 to 2 was outstanding and should give any fan hope for the rest of the season. But we should also hope for our university to be represented in a way we can be proud of, win or lose.

We need to be better.

Two days ago the NYT posted an investigation into politicians trading stocks

They found that 81 Democrats & 101 Republicans filed up to 3,700 trades and $100M in possible volume

Many had 100% winners, with some perfectly timed

Here’s examples of just how good they were

@coachdelrio @RapSheet Jake, this is why, as a youth football coaching legend, I forbid my assistants from talking to the media. In fact, I forbid them from talking at all unless they ask me for permission to speak. Your free speech “rights” end the second you step on my field.
