00:00I'm judged on a different scale.

00:09My wins are totally different than your wins.

00:12Your wins, you're just judging football.

00:16That's why I have to start out and give you education and academics and so forth.

00:20I have to give you those things so you understand there's a greater scope.

00:23I can't win nine games and our GPA suffers.

00:29Our GPA can't be high, but we lose another eight games.

00:34We can't not go and grab high school players and you got a bunch of guys in the portal,

00:40out of the portal that's getting incarcerated.

00:42My wins are different.

00:43We have to win in every area.

00:46That's the way we're judged.

00:47And I'm cool with that because we come a little different.

00:53And I think that's fair from Dion, although I would say that as long as the grade point

00:57averages are all acceptable and the Buffaloes win nine games, I don't think you're going

01:02to hear any complaining based on the season that Colorado had last year.

01:06They were on pace to win nine, 10 games and they ended up losing eight, as he said there.

01:11So we'll see.

01:16And we'll see.

01:17We'll see how Colorado does this.
