Stuart and Brad take a look at how CU's revised schedule could play out, along with discussions of CU's Recruiting Class (Quarterback recruit finally in the fold!) and the possible impacts of the #WeAreUnited movement.

(No right answer to the last question, but it does make for an interesting topic).

In the second Road Trip segment, Stuart and Brad reminisce about their first trip to Husky Stadium in Seattle, coming during Colorado's run to an undefeated regular season in 1989.

The Huskies, ranked 21st in the nation, were sympathetic to the Buffs' loss, but had their own plans about how the 1989 season should enfold.
