Coming your way with big minds, big dreams

Hey, back with you after a Merry Christmas in TheTruth's neighborhood. Hope you and your's had an equally blessed holiday.

So, have a question, if I may?

Is it progress in one's life if I finally kicked the egg nog habit? Maybe having to spike it to just make it palatable became too much.

No big dinners, no big gatherings, just an intimate day, just what matters.

Now that I've written my Hallmark card to you, here's the skinny on the week...interviews coming on Colorado football and basketball. Spoke to Adam Munsterteiger of BuffStampede.com today, will run alongside Andrew Friedman of BuffaloSportsNews.net on Wednesday and then post their comments in a day.

Also Wednesday, I hope to be able to grab some time with Mike DeCourcy of TheSportingNews.com, a senior writer for that publication.

Munsterteiger and Friedman will share some recruiting insight and DeCourcy will do what he does best, talk college basketball, including an angle on the Colorado coaching search.

DriveBy Notes...was surfing the internet and came across a picture that showed Denver Nuggets' assistant and former Metro State College coach Mike Dunlap talking to Allen Iverson on the bench, which triggered a thought.

What kind of recruiting pitch Dunlap could give a prep or junior college player if he applied and was chosen to be the next head coach at Colorado?

Won at Metro, won big, as in national titles. Worked with Carmelo Anthony and Iverson and even Marcus Camby on a daily basis. Saw other professional players up close and personal. Coached alongside George Karl and has NBA contacts.

Think a recruit might listen closely and with look with big eyes while Dunlap spoke, maybe believe in his "sell?"

Hey, just looking at the clouds, dreaming.

That's where it all starts.

For now, the Black and Gold Breakdown Endorsed List includes Mark Few and Mark Turgeon. Dunlap is also mighty intriguing.
