Colorado Buffoons…

[The Ols]

If I hear one more time that Prime’s kid took a big hit and got knocked out last night I’m going to lose my mind…
He quit…he quit on his teammates AND his Dad.
He didn’t get hit…bad snap and he fell down…then the theatrics. He won’t play another down in CFB and won’t play in the NFL…not being that soft.
So go drive your Rolls Royce , if the boot’s off yet, back to your palace in Boulder where you resided for 4 months and never went to class…pack up your crap…and follow Daddy wherever he goes next to ruin 50-60 kids lives…but Travis Hunter…punk!!!! Slammed a kids head on a table last night…
THIS is what’s wrong w/CFB…
EDIT: Sorry, but what I watched last night was a joke…sandlot football…and they got crushed!!!

Deion Sanders is not a real coach. He’s a personality, an actor, a promoter. He’s also a clown. It’s no surprise his players act the way they do.

When Colorado hired Deion Sanders, I had no problem with it. While we can argue the fine points of "how many black coaches should be hired in college football," the reality is there IS a shortage of OPPORTUNITIES for many black coaches. I figured, "Look, if he's good, he's not gonna be in Boulder very long, and if he fails, he's gonna head back to an HBCU." He's a good salesman - of himself - and for those who don't know, let's just say Boulder is less than 2% black and there has been a long-running problem with an undercurrent of racism in that city (not the kind with signs but the "we'll just make you feel unwelcome and ignore you and you'll leave" all while pretending that doesn't exist).

Then he came on and scraped by with a win over a TCU team that was touted as "wow, this team made the playoffs last year." Yeah, and they began the year at #17, which is where you rank "teams who had a good year last year that we think will be terrible this year."

Then he had his postgame presser and sent out the Bat signal to get his buddies on board, and the usual suspects complied:

“We’re doing things that have never been done, and that makes people uncomfortable. When you see a confident Black man sitting up here talking his talk, walking his walk, coaching 75% African Americans in the locker room, that’s kind of threatening. Oh, they don’t like that.”

Bear in mind almost NOBODY nowadays looks at any team and says, "Well, I used to like them but now since they have a black coach, I hate them."

DEION made it about himself.
DEION made it about race.
DEION is the one who imagines he can see in everyone's mind and know their attitude.

Nobody else did that.

And he did it to lather himself with protection in case things went wrong - which, of course they did. Pundit after pundit tore into everyone who said, "You know, he needs to do more than win one football game before he starts this" with the always subtle, "Any criticism of Deion Sanders is based solely on race and nothing else."

I understand that Deion's CU team beat Nebraska this year, but Matt Ruhle's team plays in a tougher conference with a better record at this point of the season - and would likely win a rematch between the two schools.

I'm not rooting against him because of his race, I'm rooting against him because he's a narcissistic twit.

I did not see the play and cannot find a replay. That said, Shedeur Sanders has been hammered this season and played through several injuries. I do not accept the statement that he abandoned his teammates.

Say whatever you want about Deion. He wants to be polarizing, and the hate is a part of that. But the son is not the father.

 

[Tidelines]

Some people had him down as Saban's replacement.

Yes - a point we all need to remember.
Thx for this, B1G.

Tell us how you really feel

Motivation lasts just as long as one is being motivated.

Inspiration can last a lifetime.

I think the Buffs were MOTIVATED at the beginning of the season but the rhetoric gets tiresome. Plus they can't protect their QB and as the losses mount, the questioning begins.

We need places like Colorado to become relevant again so that college football doesn't just become an "east of the Mississippi + Texas" thing. There's a very good chance that happens. given the demise of the PAC.

as coach saban (and others) always say, everyone wants to win. getting from wanting to doing is where it gets challenging.

He quit last night…I appreciate what you’re saying, but the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree here.

A charismatic black man in a sport dominated by young black men, yea crazy idea.

I was in that boat, because he spoke a lot of the same aspects of being a champion that Saban does. The reality is that it’s become obvious it’s only talk.

The biggest detractor is that Prime has already cracked under the pressure at Colorado.

 

[Bazza]

Why in the world would anyone watch football last night when they could have watched this?!?

 

[Redwood Forrest]

I really like Virginia Cavilers HC. He has not made it about himself.

 

[BamaBoySince89]

I guess I drank some of the kool-aid when it came to Prime, but his first season is a train wreck. If he could have gotten the “Hollywood” mentality out of his players, they would at worst been bowl eligible.

But he is who he is, and they pick up the flashiness but definitely don’t pick up the football side at all.

God forbid!

Basketball or football…because the latter is not a very good coach

 

[Tidewater]

The jury, in my view, is still out. Lots of folks wanted Sanders to do well and when he and his team defeated TCU, many thought we were off to the races.
He might, yet, do well. Any team that replaces the number of players Sanders replaced is going to have difficulties. Coach Saban went 7-6 his first year. He had to clear out some dead wood and bring in a bunch of his players, but his second year he was 12-2.
Next year's record will tell a lot about Sanders as a coach I should think.

That’s going to depend if he’s in to developing players or just going and grabbing the new shiny thing from the portal.

He developed players at Jax State

All true. The great thing about sports is that sports don't care whether you are a feel good story. You put up or shut up.
If Sanders goes 12-2 next year, rises to #2 in the polls, and loses a heart-breaker conference championship game, folks will be right to notice the improvement.
We'll see.
