Notary isn’t needed. But an account of a dude at a non-existent newspaper?

There’s plenty of legit stuff out there, but this is basically a made up account.

TCuz

Other than Dodds, anybody else legit saying it’s basically a done deal?

Colorado is probably my 8th pick of the current pac10 but hopefully it leads

I think if Colorado leaves and UW/UO don't see a Big Ten invitation coming, it

moknowssports

Agree. CU will make UO/UW flirt with the BigXII, but not move.

BYUHgrad

Colorado gets you access to 3 others

CougarCanuck76

Probably not an 8th pick when considering 2 that we'd list before them are not

I would place CU higher than 8th...but there are other reasons it matters

His Twitter bio says he's a writer for the Tallahassee journal.

There's a Justin Cohen that's a Doctor in Highlands Ranch, CO; maybe he's the CU

My mom died. Thanks for bringing it up.

Y’all = one dude and the rest of the thread telling him the account is fake.
