Goodbye to Romance College Football
Anything specific you have on the MWC as they enter game week for the first time?
I mentioned elsewhere that Colorado State has been through a lot of turmoil this offseason. After they hired Steve Addazio as their new HC, there were reports and complaints of racial abuse and lax coronavirus protocols (or even intimidation over taking the virus seriously). The football team issued their own statement in support of Addazio denying any allegations, but sources then said that it did not represent the sentiment of the entire team. A law firm was hired to investigate, Addazio and assistant coaches were cleared with local and Denver media questioning the objectivity of the investigators and the lack of availability to address the issues and transparency into the actual investigation. Couple this rocky coaching transition with a covid outbreak and poor air quality the result of one of Colorado's largest wildfires in history just over the ridge from Fort Collins (Cameron Fire) that has caused canceling some outdoor pracitces and scrimmages and it would be an understatement to say their prep for the season has been less tough. And they opened a 20 point favorite.
Just saying, not sure how that impacts things. On paper, CSU looks to have a really strong roster while their opponent, New Mexico, has a less than stellar roster and is also undergoing a coaching transition (ArzSt DC Danny Gonzales is HC and Rocky Long is back as DC).
So anyway, I have some time today and my Monday obession is Mountain West football. I post anything of interest I come across. You can read up on the CSU offseason stuff, it's a doozy. Please post anything you have. I'm am very interested to hear anything from people in California that might have insight to SDSt, Fresno, San Jose State. I think California, like Colorado, had some strict coronavirus restrictions that limited anything related to football practice for most of the year.
