Greetings, Buff fans, from CU at the Game!

 

Where to start?

Normally, the loss of a former starter on the offensive line would rate the biggest headline in early June. But the announcement that senior guard Devin Head is academically ineligible for the fall (effectively ending his CU career) has merited barely a mention this week.

Also new on the website this week:

Head coach Dan Hawkins to become the first CU head coach since Bill McCartney in 1993 to also serve as a position coach. While Coach Mac tutored quarterbacks, Hawkins will look after the wide receivers, grooming Ashley Ambrose, who will take over the position in 2010 ...

The Columbia Tribune rated all 48 non-conference games. Check out which teams will be on a sugar high from consuming too many cupcakes ...

Missouri’s top recruits not bathed in glory

The Tigers had one five-star recruit last February. This fall, he will not be in Columbia. If all goes well, he will be a dominant force - in the Central Valley Conference (a CU at the Game "bravo" if you can tell me the nickname of the College of the Sequoias without looking). The second highest recruit did receive good news this week, though. He avoided felony charges ...
