Nintendo is going to have a far bigger fight this time around as you have the Steam Deck and other PC gaming handhelds.  I have a Legion Go and I love that thing dearly.  The Steam Deck launched in 2022 and has been a big hit and then you have the other Windows 11 based PC gaming handhelds.  The recent CES show in Las Vegas did show some new PC gaming handhelds but they are not the true next generation ones because they are still using LPDDR5 RAM and the NS2 (Nintendo Switch 2) will be using that.  We are about a year or two away from the faster & more powerful DDR6 RAM being sold at retail.  Xbox and Playstation are working on handhelds and I think those will have the LPDDR6 RAM.  Those handhelds are definitely going to be more powerful than the Xbox Series S.

What Nintendo must do is have a strong output of first party games.

The NS2 is just a more powerful NS1 and I will never forget how amped I was for the NS1 when it was unveiled.

Sorry to hear about your situation.  Best wishes for you going forward.

My 71 year old father and I are discussing attending some UW home football games next season so I have some questions:

1. When do you expect the Wyoming (and MWC schedule to be released)?  When does single game tickets usually go on sale?

2. Where would the best seats for a 71 & soon 72 year old person?  He might have issues falling down.

3. When does the spring game typically happen?  That would be a good way to check the stadium out before purchasing tickets.

4. Do you think the Utah game will sell out quickly?  I could see us attending the UNI game.

5. How much would it usually cost to park and where would the best place to be to park (especially my father's age)?

I really hope Boise State gets the opportunity to shut your loud mouth coach and fan base up one of these days. Would be glorious watching the tears flow in Boulder. 

More like laughter.

Barry Sanders set the record in 11 games and back then, defenses in the Big 8 were more built towards stopping the running game.  If Sanders were playing today, no doubt he goes over 3K rushing yards.

Jeanty had a fantastic season but putting him in the same sentence as Sanders is a non-starter.

Didn't they just lose badly to a team that didn't have a first round bye?  Are you grounded?

Get lost.

Penalty that took away a touchdown hurt too.  They just had too many mistakes. 

Just followed the game online but those mistakes were indeed brutal.  Good teams in playoff games have games like that.

Two missed FGs and those turnovers…ouch that had to hurt and I don’t think BSU hurt any future G5 CFP team hopes.  No question BSU deserved that first round bye.

NM

Would have been great for CFB if BSU advanced to the next round.

Buffs had a 53.48 lead at home against no 3 Iowa State after overcoming a 12 point defiect in the second half but couldn't pull out the win.  Buffs travel to Arizona State for a game this Saturday....can't stand their head coach.

Speaking of OSU's Alan Bowman...

Oklahoma State QB Alan Bowman gets 7th year of eligibility - ESPN

But...

Oklahoma State QB Alan Bowman declares for NFL draft after 7 college seasons

Saw that Issac Wilson withdrew his name from the portal and will be staying at Utah.  I think it's safe to say that Rising won't be back at Utah LOL.

Still a great season for the Buffs.  Can’t wait to see the QB competition in the spring and summer.

Guess Colorado is taking Southwest Airlines home. 

Deservedly so.

After Cam Ward sat out the second half of the Iowa State-Miami bowl game, it’s great to see both Buff stars still playing despite the score.

Well all I can say is BYU showed up to play.  Hope we are better prepared when BYU visits Boulder next season.

Not the way I hoped the season would end but it’s much better than two years ago and also last season.

It took Deion and Hunter to get me to do something I never thought would happen … cheer for BYU. Lol

Surely you won’t regret saying this the next day?

Welp...BYU up 20-0 at the half.  Hopefully the Buffs show up in the second half...just like some games this year.

Coach Prime said it best...the Buffs are still at the River Walk.

BYU needs a new OC.

So does CU.

Sheduer sure does take a lot of monster sacks.  Time and time again over the past two seasons he thinks he can pull a rabbit out of his hat and holds onto the ball way too long killing drives and taking his team out of FG position.  Granted, sometimes he does indeed pull a rabbit from his hat but this bad habit had better change on Sundays if he's going to make a go of the NFL.

That is what I don't like about Sheduer and the sad thing is that he is still the #1 QB on the draft board by the experts.  Guess the 2025 QB class is junk.

Aren’t these two teams in the same conference?

Yes.

Former Pac-12 teams still have to take the Pac-12 bowl slots and CU is the one using that Pac-12 bowl slot.  Think it repeats itself for one more season.  Not a fan of that but whatever.

Buffs kicker (who probably ate too much during the break) misses a FG!

BYU 10-0.

😑

Huge play by Travis Hunter...that's why he won the Heisman.
