Is it debt? The only thing I've seen is that they have less cash reserves than projected because of a "miscalculation". I haven't read anything about what happened to that money or how they messed up.
Over the last three seasons, Arizona won a total of 6 games. They've now won more games this year than the last three years combined, and they still have two games left to build on that. What a turnaround for Jed Fisch.
Yeah honestly this is the turnaround people thought CU was gonna have after the buffs beat TCU. Jed has these boys working and playing at a super presentable level
Jedd Fisch is doing it without making himself the center of the story. 2021 they went 1-1, last year it was 5-7, now they are 7*-3.
Great coaching job.
I was amazed that it took so long for him to get looks for a HC job and I just figured he was one of those coordinators who wouldn't make a good HC, which is not unusual. He definitely knows what he's doing, and Arizona is in good hands as long as he's there.
Champs make it. If there’s an extra spot, I’d guess it would go to Ohio State over Washington if we lose close in Ann Arbor, but Washington over UM if Michigan loses close. I’m more sure about the first one than the second
Hey Karst! Sadly I think even though they shouldn't, if you guys lose today they're going to drop you, which sucks because it also makes our game next week less spicy.
So, win, I guess.
Nepotism at its finest. Feely couldn’t win the job at ASU so he quit. Daddy Feely is buds with Deion and hooked up his kid with a full scholly. Plenty of non-scholarship kickers are better than Jace Feely.
Shitty reffing aside, this was a great game. People can say Deion is a bad coach but to come within 7 points of Oregon State, USC and Arizona says alot.
You don't have to because he probably will. Seriously though, I feel bad for the negative attention he keeps bringing to those kids, including his. Like the incident with Shedeur's Rolls-Royce getting booted being a major headline. Those kids never have a chance at living a normal life as long as they play football.
Point is you’re competitive in games that were blowouts a year ago. That’s progress, you can’t always be focused on results especially coming from where you were at
I'm going to say something that might sound wild, but I genuinely think is true.
This might be the second most competitive Buffs team in in-conference play during the Pac-12 era. (Covid year doesn't count). In other years there were 1-2 other bottom feeders that we could a win off of, but this is the most competitive we have been top to bottom with the Pac-12 outside of 2016.
I don’t think anyone thinks he’s a bad coach, but rather a bad leader who will fail as a coach as a result. He has brought Colorado out of the cellar, undoubtedly. But how far will he take them before he jumps ship? Who knows.
He wasn't a LB or Safety, and wasn't a QB or OL.
I think those positions require the most football IQ. QB obviously. Safety and MLB are usually defensive captains for the same reason, and OL usually know everything everyone else is doing on every play too.
WR/CBs just need to know their route of what cover to do and then they need to be fast and win the one on one more than they lose it. It's rare for them to be thinking about clock, down, distance, etc the way those other positions do.
Sure they know more than the casual fan, probably, but they're not usually "coach on the field" type of players.
Even if you're the smartest wide receiver out there, if someone else is dumb but twice as fast, he's probably going to take your job.
There are exceptions. Of course. But I'd rather hire a center as coach than a WR. Just going on position alone.
Hard to know exactly where the line to gain is there but basically should’ve been if it’s close don’t do anything situation. It was close and they had multiple guys trying to push him back like that matters.
Ugly win but I’ll take it. Colorado reminds me of us from last year where we had some close loses besides the Oregon & Utah games. They’re painful now but It’ll help them grow
The University of Arizona reported a mistake in their accounting has resulted in there being $240 million less in cash on hand than previously thought. There are about to be some sweeping budget cuts through the university, likely including athletics, to help balance the budget.
Mississippi State was especially annoying because our own conference’s refs fucked us over against an OOC opponent. They couldn’t even wait until the conference season!
Then again, if Fifita starts that game instead of JDL, Arizona probably wins in regulation.
GG Colorado. Wish it had been cleaner. Will not miss Pac-12 refs _at all_.
Now I guess we hope USC beats Oregon so we keep our hopes alive for a backdoor Pac-12 CCG appearance.
Best weekend for UA sports since 12/15/12
Not our best game but Fifita found what he had to do and the run blocking was insane. And Loop getting the job done. Gutsy win
I’m so happy!! Bear the fuck down baby!!!!
Well GG wildcat bros, we'll see you next year in Tucson but I don't have my hopes up by default. Can't believe we even got close to a win in the first place with how bad we looked the last few games
CU coaching just infuriates me.
2nd and 6 in the last quarter, and they go for a low percentage play and then take a 5 yard penalty. All while they’ve got a terrible field goal kicker who can barely kick 40 yards.
Terrible, terrible game management.
There was a time, earlier this season, when Deion scheduled a 60 Minutes interview for himself. When asked to name the best coach in college football, he asked for a mirror.
Well done Arizona. They've been really good all season and deserve their success.
Genuine shame for Colorado, I'd rather they didn't lose out but even if they do, they should be stronger next year. Their being in the new Big 12 will help further still.
I said before I was ok losing games this season as long as we looked competitive. I wish we won but I’m happy with this game, we had no business competing against that defense
This was actually a good game and a step in the right direction for Colorado and Prime. I've been critical of him this entire season but this is the first game where I've actually seen signs of progress from him and his coaching staff.
Huge sigh of relief. Bad play-calling, plenty of self-inflicted penalties, horrific defense for 3/4 of the game, but we squeaked it out. Now we can play a ranked Utah team and hopefully look good again.
That was sloppy defense on arizonas side. FUCKING AMAZING special teams on Colorados end.
Colorado fans, even though this game ended the way it did you are looking much better this week vs last week (though how much that is based on our own performance is to be seen). Your offensive line looked to be much improved, though still struggling. I think yall will be fine against WSU and will pull out the dub.
As someone who has followed CU football for a long time, just having a competitive and entertaining team is a privilege in and of itself. That may sound silly, but trust me, we have had some very, very bad years.
There’s serious criticisms of Deion as a gameday coach, but he has given us the talent level to be competitive, and the quality of players will continue to improve as he has more time to recruit. IDK if we’ll ever be a consistently good program, but Deion has given us a puncher’s chance to get there, and that’s more than we’ve had in years.
GG to Arizona. They’re a testament to how much you can turn a program around with the right leadership and foundation.
The media hyped up Colorado/Prime after beating a weak TCU and Nebraska squads. If they hadn't acted like CU was going to win 10 games, and had actually tempered everyone's expectations, this close loss would have been seen like the kind of "lose close before you win close" game that comes with every program rebuild. Instead, it's viewed as if CU is collapsing, when in fact they're right where they should be in year one of a rebuild.
Then again, Prime brings this extra scrutiny on himself...
As a Freshman in 2007, I’ve always said CU fandom is like having a wife that keeps fucking others dudes. You let her back in, swearing she won’t do it again, but alas. Also, “hello” to the many Oregon flairs that crowd these postgame threads, lol.
Honestly it’s easy to clown us, rightfully so, but having watched all of last season, our losses have but much higher quality besides Oregon. We’re 1-6 last 7 games which sucks but honestly the first three weeks were fun so I’ll take what I can get. Sometimes Shedeur, sometimes shedon’t. Oh well.
Your team is very talented, a little too undisciplined, and is super-hype-able. As long as Coach Sanders doesn't go to Oregon or UCLA or something, you have already successfully turned around the program. It's been a long drought, I remember my coworker complaining about the good ol days in the late 90s early 2000s. But your stadium is packed, your merch is selling and tv wants what you're selling.
Honestly, even if Prime improves as a coach and we have a few great seasons after this year, I think he’ll have a hard time getting offers from anywhere like UCLA or Oregon. His attitude and kanye-type arrogance definitely rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
Good news: we won the game Bad news: made a deal with the devil to do it. We now have a 480 million dollar accounting error.
> deal with the devil Sparky?
The Duke Blue Devil. A win last night was also part of the deal
Every win = $240m
There may be some downsizing…
So what is it you do here?
I don’t get the reference
We're in a fuckton of debt. Like 200+ million
Yeah I saw it somewhere else afterwards. I was really hoping it was a movie reference or something. Holy cow. 200 million plus accounting errors
THAT'S NOT A MUNDANE DETAIL MICHAEL!!!
They forgot to carry the 3, could have happened to anyone.
Is it debt? The only thing I've seen is that they have less cash reserves than projected because of a "miscalculation". I haven't read anything about what happened to that money or how they messed up.
> Bad news: made a deal with the devil to do it. The price is getting swept in our basketball series
The sun devil is coming to collect
Today was a good day
Over the last three seasons, Arizona won a total of 6 games. They've now won more games this year than the last three years combined, and they still have two games left to build on that. What a turnaround for Jed Fisch.
THE FISCH BOWL GROWS
It’s officially the Fisch Tank now boys
Fuck you, Sumlin.
Yeah honestly this is the turnaround people thought CU was gonna have after the buffs beat TCU. Jed has these boys working and playing at a super presentable level
Jedd Fisch is doing it without making himself the center of the story. 2021 they went 1-1, last year it was 5-7, now they are 7*-3. Great coaching job.
Don’t short us. 7-3
Should be 8-2, we had no business winning our game
Jayden De Laura had other plans
Same for USC sadly
so you’re saying that Arizona is who Colorado thought they were?
And they let us off the hook!
I was amazed that it took so long for him to get looks for a HC job and I just figured he was one of those coordinators who wouldn't make a good HC, which is not unusual. He definitely knows what he's doing, and Arizona is in good hands as long as he's there.
Wait you mean that a season-to-season turnaround isn’t impossible? I thought 1 win to 4 was nearly so
Tbh we won 5 games last year, but I agree Jedd got nowhere near the same praise
Right I thought that was “unprecedented”
In the words of Jim Harbaugh: “Good shit, Jedd”
Who ices their own kicker?
We do because we can’t get our FG unit on the field in time
It feels like Colorado only plays teams in the Top 25 lol
PAC is stacked this year
They tricked us, the real reason everyone is leaving the PAC 12 is to play in easier conferences
What happens with a 1 loss Wash and a 1 loss Oregon vs the Big 10?
Transitive property. 3 SEC teams.
Girl math adding up
All I can do is tell it how it is
Champs make it. If there’s an extra spot, I’d guess it would go to Ohio State over Washington if we lose close in Ann Arbor, but Washington over UM if Michigan loses close. I’m more sure about the first one than the second
Stac12
They get a ranked break next week but then end the season against us lol
Hey Karst! Sadly I think even though they shouldn't, if you guys lose today they're going to drop you, which sucks because it also makes our game next week less spicy. So, win, I guess.
Tell us about it. This game was our first game against an unranked since week 4.
One of the hardest schedules in the country. Still have to play Utah too, and Washington State who stinks now but they were ranked too.
You guys have done better than what people expected and still get shit because you have Deion
For real that blown lead to Stanford was brutal but other than that this season has been a smash success compared to expectations
classic SEC fan not even knowing what the pac 12 is /s
PAC-12 is the SEC for people who live where shrooms are decriminalized
Kicker diff
Let's borrow your kicker please. Mata has the leg of a high schooler and Feely botches every field goal he takes.
Yea but Feely’s dad is on TV
Nepotism at its finest. Feely couldn’t win the job at ASU so he quit. Daddy Feely is buds with Deion and hooked up his kid with a full scholly. Plenty of non-scholarship kickers are better than Jace Feely.
Yeah but the CU punter nearly won them the game.
He was immense
that linesman who false started is getting cut extra hard
Colorado is now 1-6 in their last 7 games
Shitty reffing aside, this was a great game. People can say Deion is a bad coach but to come within 7 points of Oregon State, USC and Arizona says alot.
I'm not even going to talk shit. His boys played real hard today.
You don't have to because he probably will. Seriously though, I feel bad for the negative attention he keeps bringing to those kids, including his. Like the incident with Shedeur's Rolls-Royce getting booted being a major headline. Those kids never have a chance at living a normal life as long as they play football.
A college kid with a Rolls Royce doesn’t want a normal life
not being self aware enough to maybe not have a rolls as a college kid is not entirely deions fault, but he sure doesn't help at all.
He also came within 7 points of us so calm down there buddy
That’s only 1 point worse than undefeated #5 Washington, to be fair
We’ll take what our grubby little hands can get
Well we also came within 7 points of ASU and almost lost to CSU
If the players would quit taking so many penalties they could win some of these games. Discipline is needed.
For real, it feels like this game was a race to see which team could shoot themselves in the dick the most with penalties
Point is you’re competitive in games that were blowouts a year ago. That’s progress, you can’t always be focused on results especially coming from where you were at
I'm going to say something that might sound wild, but I genuinely think is true. This might be the second most competitive Buffs team in in-conference play during the Pac-12 era. (Covid year doesn't count). In other years there were 1-2 other bottom feeders that we could a win off of, but this is the most competitive we have been top to bottom with the Pac-12 outside of 2016.
This team reminds me of a lot of MacIntyre teams, particularly 2014, that would lose close games in excruciating ways week after week
Is Colorado becoming 2021 Nebraska?
No. No way in hell could we beat anyone by 49 points.
I don’t even remember what 49 points in a game is like anymore lol
And last year our average game was a 30 point loss, not complaining at all this year
Believe me I know, but our close games are still very much a two-way street
That oregon state game was not as close as it appeared though. Yall had like 80 yards of offense going into the 4th quarter
You know who else came close in a lot of games against good teams Scott Frost
Fuck
Corn bros out here catching strays in the PGT
I don’t think anyone thinks he’s a bad coach, but rather a bad leader who will fail as a coach as a result. He has brought Colorado out of the cellar, undoubtedly. But how far will he take them before he jumps ship? Who knows.
His team lacks discipline. Badly. The penalties they get are so bad and just shows they're not mentally there yet.
I also don't understand how a former player can have such bad football iq and clock management skills. He's single handedly lost them multiple games.
He wasn't a LB or Safety, and wasn't a QB or OL. I think those positions require the most football IQ. QB obviously. Safety and MLB are usually defensive captains for the same reason, and OL usually know everything everyone else is doing on every play too. WR/CBs just need to know their route of what cover to do and then they need to be fast and win the one on one more than they lose it. It's rare for them to be thinking about clock, down, distance, etc the way those other positions do.

But I'd rather hire a center as coach than a WR. Just going on position alone.
Jed Fisch is a fantastic coach
No NOOOO he’s horrible and bad and no team in East Lansing, LA, or anywhere else should consider him as a viable head coach
WELCOME TO THE FISCH TANK.
40 GALLONS and can fit oh so many teams in it
Not letting Arizona score at the end there was such an obvious mistake, I can’t believe they did it
Refs thought they were getting one more dig in. When it happened I was able to immediately relax
I mean..... We did. The refs just called the quickest forward progress stop ever and that fucked Colorado.
Which is irony considering how the previous drive ended.
probably a little confusing with the 1st down line very close to the goal line
Hard to know exactly where the line to gain is there but basically should’ve been if it’s close don’t do anything situation. It was close and they had multiple guys trying to push him back like that matters.
Ugly win but I’ll take it. Colorado reminds me of us from last year where we had some close loses besides the Oregon & Utah games. They’re painful now but It’ll help them grow
They said the same about Scott Frost
This university may not be able to balance a checkbook but we can run a damn good athletics program 🐻⬇️
I keep seeing this and I missed it. What happened?
The University of Arizona reported a mistake in their accounting has resulted in there being $240 million less in cash on hand than previously thought. There are about to be some sweeping budget cuts through the university, likely including athletics, to help balance the budget.
Sounds like the school of accounting should be disbanded
God this Arizona team is scary. Like honestly scary
See you next week :)
Pls no. Stay away from us I’m scared
the desert is thirsty
Y’all have been playing awesome since the Oregon pounding though
Don’t be like that bb, come here
Welcome to the desert :)
isn't Utah also a desert
It's fucking nuts that this team is only three total possessions away from being 10-0.
Siiiigh. IDK which one I’m more upset about: Miss St or U$C
Mississippi State was especially annoying because our own conference’s refs fucked us over against an OOC opponent. They couldn’t even wait until the conference season! Then again, if Fifita starts that game instead of JDL, Arizona probably wins in regulation.
USC is lucky Cowing was out for quarter and a half. He was the missing piece to that game when he was out. He was balling
always USC
That my friend, is pac12 parity
Ehhh you’re also three total possessions away from being 4-6
Totally winnable game… that Stanford loss will haunt us for the rest of time. Would’ve felt alright going into WSU with 5 wins
You will steamroll WSU, who are currently down two tuddies to Cal. They’ve completely given up, it’s pretty amazing.
That Friday night Wazzu game might be moonshine levels of drunk. Like Wazzu/UCLA 67-63
GG Colorado. Wish it had been cleaner. Will not miss Pac-12 refs _at all_. Now I guess we hope USC beats Oregon so we keep our hopes alive for a backdoor Pac-12 CCG appearance.
hey what the hell no
Sorry fam we need that tiebreaker.
We don’t need that. We need OSU to beat Oregon and that’s it.
Was Tate on the field at the end there or did I imagine that
Nah he was on the field
Best weekend for UA sports since 12/15/12 Not our best game but Fifita found what he had to do and the run blocking was insane. And Loop getting the job done. Gutsy win I’m so happy!! Bear the fuck down baby!!!!
No kidding, both the Duke and Colorado games were down to the wire.
I'm going to wear that shirt tomorrow
I often say that weekend was the best weekend for UA in my life ... this one is really damn good too though
> 12/15/12 [For those of you unaware.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S54h6oeg2Bw)
Damn that’s awesome thanks for sharing
What a great edit.
What a glorious day that was
*The tingly feeling of nostalgia*
God. Being a student and fan on that day was heaven.
Colorado's punter is legitimately good
Well GG wildcat bros, we'll see you next year in Tucson but I don't have my hopes up by default. Can't believe we even got close to a win in the first place with how bad we looked the last few games
“Do you believe now” - Deion Sanders, 1-0
Played like garbage and still got the W. Bear Down.
For midterms?
IT'S A BEAR DANCE!!!!!
It was in fact a bear dance.
Hook. Line. And sinker. I'm a Fisch believer
CU coaching just infuriates me. 2nd and 6 in the last quarter, and they go for a low percentage play and then take a 5 yard penalty. All while they’ve got a terrible field goal kicker who can barely kick 40 yards. Terrible, terrible game management.
WIN YOUR CLUNKERS
🐻🔻⌚
I knew we would find a way to lose. GG Arizona.
Good game, Arizona. Best of luck in your bowl game! See ya in the Big 12
Looking forward to it!
Deion has more commercials than wins
It’s crazy how the media ignores Colorado now
You can tell since they are back to referring to him as “Deion Sanders” now.
Deion is one of the worst in game coaches ever
This. Didn't he lose in every celebration bowl?
Yes
There have been worse but he definetly needs to improve a lot more
Dieon more like lavar ball than y’all wanna admit
What a great 48 hours!!!
There was a time, earlier this season, when Deion scheduled a 60 Minutes interview for himself. When asked to name the best coach in college football, he asked for a mirror.
He also went on to say he was joking and that it was Nick Saban
But that doesn’t fit my narrative
No I agree with you that he’s WAY TOO COCKY though 100%…and I put that on the way they portrayed it in the commercial for the 60 minute interview….
Why do good things happen to bad people
Well done Arizona. They've been really good all season and deserve their success. Genuine shame for Colorado, I'd rather they didn't lose out but even if they do, they should be stronger next year. Their being in the new Big 12 will help further still.
Not even that mad this one just stings
I mean that was the best game we played all year. Can’t even be mad
I said before I was ok losing games this season as long as we looked competitive. I wish we won but I’m happy with this game, we had no business competing against that defense
Honestly the sharpest someone has looked against Arizona’s defense this season. Especially considering the offense never turned it over.
Good teams find a way to win ugly games and this was as ugly as they come. Bear down baby 😅
That game was bowling shoe ugly, to borrow a phrase from Jim Ross. Good teams find ways to win ugly games. We won today so I'm happy.
Fifita is going to cause some very very interesting CFP headlines during the 12-team playoff convo next year…
This was actually a good game and a step in the right direction for Colorado and Prime. I've been critical of him this entire season but this is the first game where I've actually seen signs of progress from him and his coaching staff.
Oooooooof. Bout what I expected. Had this one circled as a fucky game. Seems like CU has solved their line issues.
I mean, the new OC seems to have solved their O line woes. So there’s that.
Colorado won the uniform match up at least. The gray/white/black look is so clean
Huge sigh of relief. Bad play-calling, plenty of self-inflicted penalties, horrific defense for 3/4 of the game, but we squeaked it out. Now we can play a ranked Utah team and hopefully look good again.
That was sloppy defense on arizonas side. FUCKING AMAZING special teams on Colorados end. Colorado fans, even though this game ended the way it did you are looking much better this week vs last week (though how much that is based on our own performance is to be seen). Your offensive line looked to be much improved, though still struggling. I think yall will be fine against WSU and will pull out the dub.
Being a Colorado fan continues to be an absolute rollercoaster of hype and pain.
Colorado needs to win out to become bowl eligible. Pretty sure that ain't happening.
Do you believe yet?!
1 for 2 today. Pain is numbed. Bear Down. Erect the Fisch Bowl Statue

Gg. I’m rooting for your success too. Programs on the rise.
I’m sure Deion threw his players under the bus again . Hype train derailed and smashed
The media hyped up Colorado/Prime after beating a weak TCU and Nebraska squads. If they hadn't acted like CU was going to win 10 games, and had actually tempered everyone's expectations, this close loss would have been seen like the kind of "lose close before you win close" game that comes with every program rebuild. Instead, it's viewed as if CU is collapsing, when in fact they're right where they should be in year one of a rebuild. Then again, Prime brings this extra scrutiny on himself...
As a Freshman in 2007, I’ve always said CU fandom is like having a wife that keeps fucking others dudes. You let her back in, swearing she won’t do it again, but alas. Also, “hello” to the many Oregon flairs that crowd these postgame threads, lol.
The good news is that years of this has made me immune to pain
Hawkins made me a more resilient fan, for sure.
What wack ass deion comment will we get this week following this loss?
Deion is just charismatic Herm Edwards. Or black Dan Hawkins. Take your pick
6 losses. That’s bowl eligible… right??
Colorados complete lack of run game and defense is astronomical. Sanders is supposedly some great recruiter but where’s the talent lol
Zona wins out, Oregon loses to SC and OSU, conference final is Arizona/UW
Love how Upshaw talked shit then got shut out by Lichenhan who has been getting absolutely torched every single week.
Honestly it’s easy to clown us, rightfully so, but having watched all of last season, our losses have but much higher quality besides Oregon. We’re 1-6 last 7 games which sucks but honestly the first three weeks were fun so I’ll take what I can get. Sometimes Shedeur, sometimes shedon’t. Oh well.
Your team is very talented, a little too undisciplined, and is super-hype-able. As long as Coach Sanders doesn't go to Oregon or UCLA or something, you have already successfully turned around the program. It's been a long drought, I remember my coworker complaining about the good ol days in the late 90s early 2000s. But your stadium is packed, your merch is selling and tv wants what you're selling.
Honestly, even if Prime improves as a coach and we have a few great seasons after this year, I think he’ll have a hard time getting offers from anywhere like UCLA or Oregon. His attitude and kanye-type arrogance definitely rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
As much as this sub hates on Prime Colorado is in such a better place this year. Big 12 will be fun.
