CSU has had some great tight ends and it looks like the Rams could be entering another era of tight end excellence. Tight ends coach Joe Cox probably doesn't get enough recognition for his recruiting and coaching efforts, but he's a highly thought of rising star in the business.
The easy answer here is Cam Butler, who is basically a big-bodied receiver.
But my pick is Trey McBride. He only had 89 receiving yards in 2018, but that was as a true freshman. His 48-yard score against Florida was super impressive.
Bobo loves his game and McBride looks to have the combo of strength, speed and athleticism to be a superstar. I think McBride has a huge future at CSU.
The Rams also just signed another great athlete at the position in Holy Family’s Kyle Helbig.
This was a Twitter rumor floating around in some corners this week, but it is just that. Deion Sanders seemed to thoroughly enjoy his visit to CSU, but he’s not about to be hired.
That being said, the recruitment of Shilo Sanders is interesting. The Rams are at least somewhat realistically in the mix for the highly-rated defensive back from Texas because of the fact that they took an official visit to Fort Collins. Also take note, recruiting class of 2021 quarterback Shedeur Sanders (Shilo's brother, a current sophomore) tagged along on the visit.
It still feels like a long shot because of the long offer sheet filled with Power 5’s for Shilo Sanders. The Rams did already sign five defensive backs in December, but they wouldn’t say no if Sanders wants to commit. And who knows, maybe Shedeur is a future signal-caller in Fort Collins.
Barring any late-late surprises, the 2019 coaching staff will be the same as 2018. Bobo suggested as much at the end of the season when he said he wants stability rather than change.
CSU was 114th in the nation in yards allowed per game and 118th in points allowed per game. The defense has been holding the Rams back for years and those numbers better change drastically in a potential make-or-break year for Bobo.
I don’t expect any big scheme changes and all the talk has been about improving talent more than anything. CSU signed seven defensive players in December and will have a minimum of two more in December.
Bobo also thinks moving spring practice up and having the spring game in March will lead to a longer offseason lifting period, leading to bigger, stronger players. We’ll see if it makes a difference.
The defense looked confused and late to lineup often last year. Defensive coordinator John Jancek clearly has work to do to have everyone in sync, and step No .1 will be cutting down on the huge plays allowed. There was also clearly discord among players and staff at times.
Jancek’s Tennessee defense went from No. 94 in the nation in 2013 to No. 37 in 2015. CSU needs to see a significant jump right away.
It’s fair to have a heavy dose of skepticism.
Mediocre is probably a fair description, with one game left in nonconference play (home vs. a good New Mexico State team on Dec. 30) the Rams are 5-7.
I’ve debated with some friends if CSU will hit 12 wins this year to surpass the 11 last season. I still think that’s a safe bet and the Rams should get to about 14-15.
So, I guess it’s all about expectations. If you were hoping for the NCAA tournament this year, it was always going to be a disappointment.
Next year is the earliest that big improvements on the win-loss ledger should come. CSU’s only significant loss from the current roster will be J.D. Paige. With a solid signing class coming in, combined with emerging stars Kendle Moore and Adam Thistlewood and a super strong group of Nico Carvacho, Kris Martin and Anthony Masinton-Bonner there’s a good core for the 2019-20 season.
What we need to see this year? More buy-in as the Eustachy era is swept away. We’ve seen some signs this year of how broken the program and locker room are. Medved has continually fought what he calls “selfish” play.
There are flashes where the team looks pretty solid, then stretches where they seem lost and uninterested. Some consistency in defensive effort and ball-moving offense are the first step, but it will take time to fully turn it around.
In 2019 I am going to all the CSU games. Based on your experience, give me a few recommendations for restaurants in away towns. I need some can't miss places.
I love this and it taps into one of the most fun parts of my job. We usually fly into town the day before a CSU football game. Often there’s work to do before a late-evening dinner where some of the traveling groups can enjoy some down time and we always end up seeing a good group of Rams fans.
CSU’s road games in 2019 are in Fayetteville (at Arkansas), Fresno (at Fresno State), Albuquerque (at New Mexico), Logan (at Utah State) and Laramie (at Wyoming). Fayetteville will be new for all of us, so we’ll be exploring together.
Albuquerque: El Pinto, the Frontier (right by campus, great for breakfast or late night), Cervantes. Needless to say, green chile is a must.
Fresno: Dog House Grill (right by the Save Mart Center).
Logan: Beehive Grill for dinner, Angie’s Restaurant for a very big breakfast.
I’m sure there’s somewhere to eat in Laramie, I just don’t know it. That’s a drive-in, drive-out game for me.
As far as things to do, we don’t get much time to be a tourist. In New Mexico, I’ve gone hiking in the Sandia Mountains east of the city. Old Town Albuquerque is also worth checking out.
Both times I’ve covered games in Logan, the fall colors were coming in. It made a great drive, once up from Salt Lake and once in from Fort Collins. Hopefully the timing will work out for that again in 2019. The stadium is also one of the most gorgeous settings in the conference.
I haven’t had a trip to Fayetteville or Fresno yet myself, so I’ll be eager to explore as well.
If you've ever taken a psychology course, you'll have heard of Phineas Gage, the man who survived having a railroad tie driven through his skull. It sounds like a one-of-a-kind thing, but a Brazilian construction worker just survived a similar injury.
Eduardo Leite, the 24-year-old construction worker with a hell of a lot of luck, fell off the fifth floor of a building under construction and landed on a 1.8m iron bar that pierced both his hard hat and the back of his skull, popping out right between his eyes. Even after getting the new hole in his head, Leite remained conscious and lucid, eventually telling doctors what had happened to him.
He was taken to the operating room, his skull was opened, they examined the brain and the surgeon decided to pull the metal bar out from the front in the same direction it entered the brain ... Today, he continues well, with few complaints for a five-hour-long surgery. He says he feels little pain.

Tony Romo is expected to start Sunday for the Dallas Cowboys after missing seven games because of a broken collarbone, sources close to the quarterback told NFL Media's Desmond Purnell on Monday.
Romo is eligible to return this week, but coach Jason Garrett stopped short of saying whether he would play against the Miami Dolphins.
"We'll take his situation day-by-day." Garrett said of Romo's status.
The coach added Romo will have a standard week, which usually means sitting out Wednesday followed by practice on Thursday and Friday before traveling to Miami to face the Dolphins.
The Cowboys have until Saturday afternoon to activate Romo off the injured reserve/designated to return list.
Even with Garrett downplaying Romo's return, we'd be shocked if the quarterback missed another week. Romo himself told fans Monday that there's a "pretty good chance" he'll be under center against the Dolphins.
The Cowboys have been a disaster without Romo, losing seven straight games to fall to 2-7. Still, Dallas is miraculously just two games back in loss column in the woeful NFC East. There is no doubting that Jerry Jones believes with Romo back on the field his team still has a chance to pull off an winning streak and become the first team under the current playoff format to reach the postseason after starting 2-7.
My guest blogger this week is Mrs. Cecelia Carmenates, a library media specialist with Fairfax County Public Schools. Over the years we have been able work with teachers and students in our school to integrate literacy and technology in meaningful and creative ways.
Ah fall. The crisp air, the leaves of orange and gold, and the beginning of a new school year. As the buses start rolling and the students return to our hallways, I remember how eager I was as I child to get back to school. What new adventures awaited me, what new friends would I make, what new teachers would I meet, and what new things I would learn? The anticipation kept me awake those last weeks of summer.
As educators, we are familiar with the excitement and anticipation that fills our schools as a new year begins. Maybe we even feel a little of it ourselves. Certainly most of us return each year with the best of intentions to make this year a little better, do something a little different. So this year, as a part of those intentions, why not pay a visit to your school librarian?
Some of you may be good friends with your librarian and some may not even know who your librarian is. No matter where you fall in this spectrum, I encourage you to engage in a conversation with your librarian this year. They might just hold the magic ingredient in your recipe for something new this year.
We know the curriculum; our collection is built around it. We can match the best resources to your lessons. Forward us a copy of your assignments; we can suggest ways that will produce better work in less time and make both you and your students' lives easier. You might have a condition that unwittingly puts a roadblock on your students' path to success.
For example, you may require they use a book for an assignment on famous American scientist. Unbeknownst to you, your school library doesn't have biographies on several of the scientists on your list. Students start coming to you whining that there are no books on said scientist. They can't find anything!
In talking to your librarian you discover the school does have access to an electronic reference book with information on every scientist on your list. Plus, it's electronic so more than one student has access to it, no fighting over the Marie Curie biography.
Requiring students to find a current events article relating to math? Perhaps your librarian can suggest a periodicals database. Not only will your students find results quickly, they will more likely be on their reading level and they will be developing crucial 21st century skills like searching, retrieving and evaluating information from an online source.
Or perhaps your students need images from World War II for a poster or PowerPoint. If you leave it up to them, they will most likely do a Google image search. Not only are some of those images copyright protected, some are not at all appropriate for children.
Why not talk to your librarian. Most likely they will know here you can find images that are school appropriate and can be used without violating copyright law.
Remember, we spend the library budget on print and electronic materials that support your curriculum; we want you and your students to use them!
Not only do we know the curriculum; we know what the other teachers are teaching. Tell the librarian what you're planning; they might suggest that you talk to a teacher who did a fantastically successful lesson on that very same topic. They might point out that the Art teacher was just mentioning that he wanted to do a project that ties into the Social Studies unit you've been working on. Doing a poetry unit, the librarian and drama teacher are hosting a poetry slam; maybe you can give extra credit to your students who participate. Remember the school is a community of learners; teachers need to be an example of that ideal.
Librarians can be a very good connection in the school because we work with every grade and every subject.
Aside from curriculum and connections, we love to collaborate. Whether it's your rookie year or you're a vintage teacher, the school librarian simply wants to help you.
Contrary to some stereotypes, we are people people. We don't go into librarianship for the glitz and glamour, we do it because we love to help people find the information they need and because we love to promote literacy in anyway we can. We also love to learn. If we don't know the answer, we will find someone who does.
Budget cuts have you doing more with less; perhaps you often wish you had an assistant. Well, school librarians are teachers too. Not only do we have our master's degree in information science but we have taken graduate courses in education in order to be licensed educators.
Let us give you a hand! If you've got students who don't seem to be getting the material, and students who got it 2 weeks ago, why not talk to the librarian about an enrichment lesson. Librarians can work with a group of students on a project enhancing your curriculum while you work with your students who need a little more help.
Want to do something a little more than just the standard book report? Librarians love to talk about books and they're doing it in a wide variety of formats like blogs, wikis, and podcasts. Getting ready for a big research unit, include the librarian in your planning, we love to scour the Internet for reliable websites and create subject based pathfinders. There's one less thing for you to do.
So, once you've got your classroom routines down and the first hints of autumn arrive, think about touching base with your librarian this year, I bet they can come up with at least one way to make this year different, and a little better even if it's just that you discovered we have the best coffeemaker in the building.
Remember, we become librarians because we like to help people, and school librarians like to help teachers teach and students learn.
We want to be a part of the game so put us in coach, we're ready to play!
New Overwatch hero Orisa didn't start life as a quadrupedal robot. In the early stages of Blizzard's work — before any art had been created — she appeared in-game as a "Goth" skin Zarya carrying Bastion's turret machine gun.
The unholy mash-up was a lot of fun to play with, Blizzard realized. Thus, the blueprint for Orisa — an African robot built by an 11-year-old prodigy — was born.
This newly released video peers behind the scenes at Orisa's creation, from her early days as a Zarya/Bastion lovechild to later revelations about the type of character she is within the Overwatch fiction and how her abilities fit in alongside the game's current lineup of tanks.
The video also confirms a release date: Orisa will leave the PTR behind and join the ranks of Overwatch heroes on all platforms — PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One — on March 21.
She looked me straight in the eye. Without even a moment’s hesitation she said it.
“Then why did he?” I asked. She had no answer.
We were sitting in the green room for the Fox News Outnumbered Overtime show. She is a Democrat strategist and makes her living largely helping Democrats get elected. I’ve seen how hard the life of a political consultant can be, and I have no desire to ever leave talk radio to pursue it.
We were about to go discuss our differing perspectives on North Korea. She sees the President as “acting erratic” and “being temperamental.” My argument is that the back and forth he’s dished out to North Korea’s leader is part of how he has redefined the rules of the Presidency. A man who drives a hard bargain, and one who is committed to causing America to win. By the end of our segment she admitted that she’s pulling for him to strike the grand deal that removes nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula and makes the world safer.
But her words in our pre-segment chat hung in the air and on the back of my mind for days.
Is it possible that Democrats, Resisters & Never-Trumpers actually believe he doesn’t love his country?
Given the idealogical differences Trump opposers have with Trump supporters it’s probably an idea that gets lost. Yet answer yourself a few questions. Why does he rail on government corruption? Why does he insist on an American first foreign policy? Why does he push the idea of punishing countries who have disrupted our ability to produce our goods? Why does he desire to see NFL players respect the anthem and flag? Why does he want Constitutional judges on our nation’s courts? Why does he want everyone in America to have a job, lower taxes, and more income?
You can disagree with his strategies to arrive at any number of goals, but of the goals he’s stated, the intent he’s aiming at, how can any of it be defined as anything other than someone who’s attempting to help his country be it’s best?
Unlike the vast majority of past presidents—and possibly all of them—Trump is the guy who on day one as President began living a life below the norms of what he had already achieved. His bedroom is smaller. His plane is worse. His schedule is more demanding. His time now belongs to the people—instead of himself. As a titan of industry he never needed to worry his head about the things he now must focus on around the clock.
He has lost over $800,000,000 in personal net worth in his first sixteen months. Nearly every President before him began to gain net worth, and nearly all of them left office far more wealthy than they entered it. This is especially true of Democrats Clinton and Obama.
So why take them on?
His popularity as a TV boss that “fired” people for performing badly on individual episodes is but a distant memory now that he’s had to fire, demote, excoriate, and purge members of government who were and possibly are committing crimes against “we the people."
And he’s had to do all of it against a backdrop of a steady, but evidence free meme of being accused of using foreign powers to help him win the election.
An election—as a non-politician—he nearly didn’t even run in.
What are his major themes? A safer America, a more prosperous America, a greater America.
Again many, maybe even fifty percent of the country may disagree with his methods, but how does one not agree with his aims?
I myself had significant reservations about President Trump as a candidate. I disliked the level of street fight he would sink to—to win. I was then and am now offended at the revelations of the Access Hollywood bus. And I more or less believe that in his past life President Trump might not have been the moral example I want my sons to see.
However history is replete with men who find dignity, even nobility, in serving at a time and place when they have no reason to. It shapes them. It changes them.
To see a President who understood and could articulate the need for greater protections for people of faith, and to have faithfully moved the nation towards that goal, when he himself doesn’t appear to be a man of great outward displays or practice of faith is remarkable.
To see him surround himself with patriotic, even Godly, influences in some of his closest and most important advisory roles is to admit that he is serious in his endeavors and earnest in his desired outcomes.
I think Trump was no more and no less a sinner (when taking office) than any of our Presidents have ever been.
But if he truly was the ego-driven, self-inflating, internally focused narcissist that others of our Presidents have been, the solution for him would’ve been to never run at all.
He just had better things to do.
“If he doesn’t why does he serve her so earnestly?"
KHAR: A senior local leader of PML-N, Nawabzada Mohammad Anis Khan, quit the party here on Tuesday as protest against the senior leadership for ignoring the tribal areas in development projects and announced to join PPP.
Mr Anis is also a relative of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz MNA Shahabuddin Khan and remained associated with the party for over a decade. He made the announcement while talking to mediapersons at his residence in Inayat Kallay town.
He said that he had attached great expectations to PML-N to give special attention to the tribal areas when it came into power in 2013 general elections, but its central leadership ignored the tribal areas in development schemes.
Mr Anis also castigated PML-N leader Amir Muqam for not visiting any tribal agency during the past four and a half years. Local PPP workers welcomed him in the party.
POLIO DRIVE POSTPONED: Polio volunteers in Bajaur Agency on Tuesday criticised the health department for sudden postponement of the anti-polio campaign, which was to start in the agency from Feb 12, and appealed to the authorities to give them wages for the drive.
According to the field officer, Dr Abdur Rahman, the drive has been postponed in Malakand division till further orders due to security reasons.
Talking to mediapersons here, scores of volunteers from remote areas said that the local health department did not inform them on time about the postponement of the anti-polio drive. They said that most of them knew about the postponement when they visited the office of agency surgeon.
