This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

a few brief thoughts by jt

1) You aren't even getting the tip of the iceberg on the roster turnover. As an example, New Mexico announced 18 transfers in just yesterday, and New Mexico St signed 29 in Dec and anticipates another 25 or so next week. Complete roster turnover. Colorado St lost about 30 kids and anticipates replacing at least that many; they are following the Notre Dame lead and using the new coaching staff exemption to lose a whole bunch of guys. These are just a few examples; lower level FBS/group of 5 schools are going to have about 50% turnover each year in many cases. Guys moving up, guys moving down for playing time, guys following a coach, etc.

2) Yeah, the Stanford OL were pretty good. Nugent would have really helped us inside. Miller is a really good player.

3) Not sure what you're referring to w/r/t Colorado; they lost a ton of guys in the portal and jettisoned most of their verbal commitments.
