One year ago today, Colorado hired Karl Dorrell: The inside story of a courtship that required just one conversation
One year later, the relationship seems preordained. Karl Dorrell has instilled his brand of calm and cool into a Colorado football program that was in dire need of both — a program that had been ditched by its head coach, a program that was forever one win short, that had a fragile roster and lacked momentum and was consumed by uncertainty as the pandemic descended and society lurched to the edge. One year later, the skeptics have been silenced. Unflappable as the Flatirons, Dorrell provided instant stability, kept the roster intact, managed his staff, navigated the local health restrictions, demanded accountability, identified a quarterback, guided the Buffaloes to unexpected success and was named the 2020 Pac-12 Coach of the Year. “He has done everything I thought he would do, and he has been exactly who I thought he was,’’ Colorado athletic director Rick George said recently as he reflected on the process that led to Dorrell being named head coach on Feb. 23, 2020. “We … [Read more...] about One year ago today, Colorado hired Karl Dorrell: The inside story of a courtship that required just one conversation

Destiny 2’s Witch Queen expansion delayed, but weapon sunsetting is being scrapped
In June 2020, Bungie said the next Destiny 2 expansion, The Witch Queen, would be out sometime in 2021—later clarified to late in the year . Today, however, the studio said that, for multiple reasons, it has decided to push the expansion into early 2022 . Bungie said that the Witch Queen expansion will be "unlike anything we’ve ever attempted before, with characters, arcs, heroes and villains that persist over multiple future releases." Those future releases, which will include an additional unannounced expansion to follow Lightfall, will also wrap up the Light and Darkness Saga that began with the launch of the original Destiny in 2014. It's going to be a pretty big deal, in other words, and Bungie expects Witch Queen to set the table. "As we’ve been developing The Witch Queen, we realized that we needed this release to be the first of many moments crucial to the story of Destiny," assistant game director Joe "Joegoroth" Blackburn explained.
