Look--if were actually competing with Colorado for any players, I could totally see your point. I was looking at it from Oregon's perspective (and even spent some money on FFS to help him out) by letting him know if I were him would he should be going after. It just so happens 1--only 1 of the players that I mentioned was being pursued by Colorado and Co was over extended in terms of geography and it weighed heavily in Oregon's favor. That's why I brought it up.
I can swear that there was no bias or prejudice against Colorado. I wish the guy luck, he's got quite an uphill battle. You have recruited with an A+ prestige, you know a C+ doesn't even factor into it--it's not on the same level. I'll be the first guy to hope that Aegms actually gets Colorado competitive again. That's what this game is about, competition, not domination. Check the CC for the Big 12. I believe the folks here in the MWC were concerned that Markshir had checked out and even said that wasn't a good thing.
If you aren't looking at the whole picture, you aren't seeing it all.
