Robert Smith just called the Buffs upset over KU on ESPN... I'm feeling pretty good about this one too. I'm not sure what we're planning on doing today at QB, personally I'd like to see Ballenger get in a few series when it matters to see how he performs. I love Cody, I think he's a great kid, and I've defended him before on this blog, but he is playing pretty terrible this year. He seems to

I was just saying to a friend the other day.... "You know what this season is missing, friend that I made up for this story? A Denver Broncos rap song" Then I found this little gem.....I know what some of you are thinking... probably something along the lines of "Wow.

My buddy Mike, who went to CSU, has been emailing a lot this past week saying that he thought CSU would win 72-16. He also mentioned something about another one of our buddies mom being involved in some sort of gang-bang gonzo type video that somehow displayed CSU's dominance of CU. I feel fairly confident that neither of these are true. This is the main problem I have with CSU. I usually could

Haven't been doing a lot of blogging lately... my bad on that one. I've spent the last three weeks locked in a concrete room with no windows or booze as I deftly analyzed every possibility and outcome to better prepare myself for my Fantasy Football drafts.I'll tell you if it was worth it in January.But that is the past my friends, and I am looking to the future.

University of Colorado AD Mike Bohn announced plans yesterday to make Folsom Field into the first zero-waste football stadium in the country. "Our football coach talks about returning the national championship to Boulder," Bohn said on the first day of practice. "We want to be more than good. We want to be innovative.

Whoever said watching a bunch of old dudes playing golf was boring? Yesterday's round at the PGA's US Senior Open in Colorado Springs was right out of a Mountain Dew commercial. There were elderly men attempting to walk a few miles, the record breaking heat.... oh yeah, and there were bears.Right after Hale Irwin missed a par putt on the 12th hole, the bear darted across the fairway of The

Did the Nuggets really just trade Marcus Camby for jack shit? Is this an actual trade or some kind of prank?What the hell are we doing?The best the Nugget brass could come up with for Camby was the rights to swap 2nd round draft picks in 2010 with the LA Clippers.

The free-agency signing period starts tomorrow, and the Nuggets aren't exactly making a lot of noise. We drastically need PG help, and we were targeting Chris Duhon, but unfortunately it looks like Duhon decided he'd rather sign up with the Knicks than come to Denver (kind of a crushing blow to the ego there. One team has Anthony Carter starting at PG, the other has about 17 PG's on the roster

Lineups for the MLB All-Star game were announced yesterday, and once again it was on display just how kick-ass the Class of '95 was for high school sports in Colorado. We f-ing ruled!Roy Halladay (Arvada West, class of '95) and Brad Lidge (Cherry Creek, class of '95) were both picked as reserve pitchers for the game. It's the 2nd All-Star game for Lidge, and the 5th for Halladay, proving again

The Nuggets put all the Carmelo trade talks to rest today by assuring Melo and his agent that he will not be traded any time soon. Hopefully this will put to bed all of the idiotic trade rumors surrounding Carmelo since the Nuggs lost out in the first round of the playoffs again this season. I absolutely cannot believe how much steam these trade rumors have picked up over the past couple of

Now that the NBA season is over and my preseason NBA predictions went horribly wrong, we'll have to deal with yet more verbal fellating of a Boston sporting team.... But I would like to focus on the fellating of on Kevin Garnett. You see, he and the media like to fancy KG as some sort of tough guy, someone you'd never want to engage in a round of fisticuffs. And with all of the screaming,

Today is national signing day for high school recruits and it has been one f-ing outstanding day to be a Buff.Not only did we sign everyone on our commitment list, but we also landed RB Rodney Stewart from Columbus, Ohio and Paul Vigo from New Brunswick, NJ. Stewart is small but runs a 4.4, so he will most likely be used as a return specialist. Vigo is listed as an athlete, I think he'll

Today's the big day in our pursuit of Darrell Scott. Today's the day we send all of the troops into the Scott household (seven coaches in all is what I've heard) and do our best to persuade him to don the Black and Gold, and lead our Buffs to at least three consecutive National Championships. Today could be remembered as one of the greatest days in Colorado Buffalo history when it's all said

The NBA announced the starters for this year's All-Star game last night, and Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson got the starting nod for the Western Conference. How many starters did the amazing Boston Celtics produce? Only one. HAHA! Suck it Boston! I knew we'd eventually beat you in something!It seems very likely that Marcus Camby may get a reserve spot as well, giving the Nuggets 3

The truth behind Nene's recent mysterious health problem came to light yesterday, a testicular tumor.It's unclear as to whether the tumor was cancerous or benign.

In the spirit of the Christmas season, I want to try to refrain from being too negative about the state of the Broncos. So here it goes.....If we lose on Sunday, we will end up with a first round pick in the #8-10 range. That's a pretty good pick!By letting LaDainian Tomlinson run all over our defense, the Broncos helped me win my fantasy title!....... That's all I got to say about that.About

It's been a few weeks since we've posted an update here at Homers. Just some quick thoughts, and I'll have CU update up later.....- I'm still reeling from the revelation that one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history was using steroids. Sure, we all suspected guys like Bonds and Benito Santiago of getting a little help from the juice, but now we find out that Denny Neagle was using????

Two days before the big game and I don't have much pre-game analysis outside of that. Nebraska sucks, I hate them. I was thinking of writing something about the keys to the game. How we needed to establish the run and push the pink shirts around, get pressure on Joe Ganz and force him to make mistakes, how we need Kevin Eberhart to not miss a field goal inside 40 yards....But none of it

Here we are, nearly 1/10th into the NBA season, and like all of the big websites (ESPN, CBSSportsline, NBA.com, etc) I think it's time for us to do an NBA season recap.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, the Nuggets enter a season with a legitimate shot at contending for a championship. We’ve got all the ingredients... star power, good supporting cast, ability to score running or

Tony Kornheiser is going to have lockjaw in the morning.After spending the last four hours verbally and mentally fellating Brett Favre, ESPN got what they wanted and I felt like vomitting all over my flat screen. What they got was the dramatic overtime touchdown pass by Brett Favre to win the game and hours of mancrush material for Tony Kornheiser and the rest of the staff at ESPN. Seriously, I

The Buffs have landed Jon Major! Major had said he would announce his decision on Saturday, and at 1:09am in the morning he sent an email to rivals.com indicating that he is now a Colorado Buffalo.This Buff recruiting class is quickly developing into something exciting, and with Coach Hawkins getting the top in-state player the last two years over the national powerhouses, it's a sign that things

I don't really know what to expect out of tomorrow's game against Texas Tech. This year's team has been fairly inconsistent and tough to get a good read on. I guess that's to be expected out of a team that plays with more freshman than your average Girls Gone Wild DVD. On one hand, we haven't exactly been successful with pass oriented teams this season. Even Baylor was able to rack up huge

After my rant last night about the ticket process, I have now settled down a bit and am getting excited for the series to start. We all need to do this. The thing with the tickets sucked, but now we're over it. Let's remember that we are now in the World Series and get behind our boys. So, with pretty much the entire world picking the Red Sox in the series, here are some reasons why the Rox

Colorado received a commitment yesterday from 4* Running Back Ray Polk from Phoenix, Arizona. Polk is 6'0", about 200 lbs, runs a 4.47 x 40 and is the 11th ranked RB in the country according to Rivals.com. This is a huge signing for us. With Polk, Sumler, Lockridge, and PT Gates (the top Juco RB in the nation last year) enrolling in January, we are loaded with young talent at the RB position. And

As the lucky Colo"rad"o t-shirt looks to make it 4 for 4 this weekend, here are some thoughts from last week's game against Baylor and tomorrow's big game against K-State:- First of all, how retarded is the Big 12 TV contract? It is so unbelievably stupid that the local channels weren't allowed to pick up last week's game against Baylor. Sure it seems disappointing at first, but look at some of

I know it's popular in the blogiverse to rip ESPN. Lord knows I've taken my shots at them in the past. But when it comes down to it, we all watch ESPN constantly.

There are quite a few theories out there about the turnaround taking place with the football program up in Boulder. Some people think that Coach Hawkins has infused his players with his will to win. Others think that the outstanding play of our young freshman, and their continuous development is the reason. Some think that it is due to our staunch defense and their ability to shut down some of

I don't know what to make of our beloved Donks right now. They seem dominant, but then leave us screaming at the TV at the end of every game as we pull a win out of our ass. It has been completely frustrating. So what's the problem? I don't know.

It's time for it to happen. I've been waiting for too long. For the past 6 years, CU has had nothing but bad publicity nationwide. There was the recruiting scandal, the rape accusations followed by the Katie Hnieda's book, the Big 12 title game blowouts, the student section being thrown out of the Nebraska game, Montana State, 70-3.....But nothing positive. Sure we won some Big 12 North titles,

Yes, I took a week off due to my anniversary, but I really didn't have a feeling one way or another last weekend anyhow.Frankly, after watching my Tivo'd version of the ASU/CU debacle, I can see why I had no feeling.

It is a turning point of a great comeback story. Say what you will about the Mighty Buffaloes of Colorado or the Big 12 North, but things haven’t been this good in a long while in Boulder.

With college football firing up this weekend, I was trying to find a legitimate way to make a prediction on how my beloved CU Buffs would fare this year. We are coming off one of the worst seasons in college football history, and I can't bear the thought of suffering through something like that again. So I turned to someone who's been getting me through football seasons since I was in college. My

A lot has been made about the recent revelation that Travis Henry has been spreading his seed throughout the South to the tune of 9 kids by nine different women. It's also become known that he is something of a deadbeat dad, often falling behind on child support payments while spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on cars and bling.

The Nuggets signed free agent point guard Chucky Atkins on Monday to replace Steve Blake, who recently signed with Portland. Details of the Atkins deal haven't been released, but if the Rashard Lewis deal is any sort of guideline, than we are probably paying Chucky in the ballpark of $11 million per year. I will never understand how the Orlando Magic decided that Rashard Lewis was worth twice as

In just another example of the level of retarded incompetence that is the NCAA, they have announced that the University of Colorado will be placed on 2 years probation, and lose a total of one scholarship per year for the next three years for undercharging walk-ons for meals. How much did they undercharge you ask? Roughly $6 per meal. Granted it was over the period of 6 years and ended up being

Hi Friends -In case you haven't noticed, I am either a notorious liar about when I'm going to post a blog, or I'm just lazy. It's the latter. I swear.I just watched OUR Colorado Rockies beat the Yankees for the second night in a row marking their 5th straight series win, and their ninth straight without losing.

After spending the off-season in free-agency, weighing all of his options and narrowing down his list of teams, former CU Buff standout running back "6 Touchdown" Chris Brown is going to sign with the.... Tennessee Titans.... again. They agreed to terms on a new 1 year contract last night. It seems kind of weird to me that someone would re-sign with the team that decided not to renew their

Well it's been a while. But that's what happens when former teammates come to visit. And when it's someone of Charlie Melvin's stature and notoriety, all you can do is take a few days off work, let your family know that you love them, tell your liver to suck it up, and let loose.

I never thought I'd say this in my life as an NBA fan.... but I just wish the season would end. I don't care who wins anymore, I hate both teams equally, I just want this awful display of basketball to be over. The playoff system is flawed. Granted, we've never been in a situation in my lifetime where the talent level was so drastically different between Conferences, but it has become

Dear Spurs Fans,First of all congratulations on reaching the NBA Finals again! It must be really exciting to be a fan of such a great team. Tonight, as you inevitably work your way towards your 4th title in 8 years, I want you to tell you two things:1.) Your team is one of the greatest basketball teams of all-time, and...2.) Everyone else in the nation hates them.I know what you're thinking. "No

During this extremely dull time to be a sportsfan in Colorado, we have some news from Boulder this week.The biggest news was the unveiling of the new football duds. Now don't get me wrong, I loved the CU uniforms, but I have always been a big fan of the uniform change. It has proven to be a successful way to harbor some good luck to your favorite team, especially here in Colorado. It is a little

You Know It's Amazing, a couple weeks ago, there was a poll on AM950 The Fan's website, and I saw the voting results and just had to comment. Here is the question they asked: Which school has had the best basketball team in the past 10 years? The choices were the 4 division one schools in Colorado. Air Force, Colorado, CSU, and DU.Air Force received 60% of the vote? Are you kidding me? Best

So Kobe wants out of LA.... or he doesn't.... or wait, yes he does. Nope. He doesn't. Whatever is going on there he is obviously unhappy and may have made things too awkward and difficult for him to stay in LA. If that's the case than the Kobe trade sweepstakes is about to begin.

Ever since the lottery took place last night, all I've heard is one of two things:1) Everyone has been laughing at the Grizzlies and Celtics for blatantly tanking and then ending up with the worst possible selections. It's a little thing called the Sports Gods making sure everything balances out. It's the same powers that make a guy miss a free throw after a phantom foul call. You don't want

Since the last writing, they handled the Reds with ease and had a shot at taking two straight series on the road, but snatched away defeat from the jaws of victory again.I mentioned in the first SOR of the year that, as much as I didn't dislike Hurdle as the rest of the Rox faithful, I do think he

Welcome back to the second edition of You Know It's Amazing! It has been awhile but I guess that's what a busy family and work life will get ya... I've caught bits and pieces of things in the sport world and here's what I have to say about that.I'm now fully convinced that the Nuggets point shaved in that game against the Kings. I mean seriously, they still won the game but just didn't cover.

That Spurs series made me sick. Literally. I got the flu during the Nuggets collapse Game 5. What happened? How could we only score 11 points in one quarter? In short, AI happened. The Answer, from the old Philly days, showed up to lead Denver to another first round playoff loss. AI couldn't figure out what was wrong, how he could miss so many "easy" shots. It was obvious to everyone but him.

I know this has nothing to do with anything Colorado, but I've gotta say that the Spurs vs. Suns game was one of the most hysterical things I have seen in sports in a while. There was so much going on during this game. It may have something to do with the fact that my hatred for the Spurs has reached a point where I find them almost comical. But here are a few of the things that we're killing

Hi Friends,Luckily for me, and perhaps for all of you, the droves of Colorado Homers that will soon read our blogs with regularity (count yourselves as the lucky few that were onboard early) are still in the process of forming. My last State of the Rockies was very unhomer-like following the Nugs loss and another disappointing effort by the Boys in Purple. I certainly will not guarantee that

I really didn't want to step on Brainz toes but I have to get this off my chest.....I hate the San Antonio Spurs.This stems from much more than my love of the Nuggets. Even if the Nuggets never played the Spurs I would still hate them. The Spurs are the most boring team in the NBA. Don't get me wrong, they are a very good team, but they are abhorrently boring. They don't have a single player that

With all that went wrong for the Nuggets yesterday, and don't be fooled by anyone we played absolutely awful in the first half of last nights game, we still had a chance to win the game at the end, down only three points with a minute left.
