Chiefs don't play in Kansas there shooter :)

Yeah they will make a bowl he has remarkably improved them for sure

It's weird how you're expected to worship Deion or you're a hater.

Which was a horrible call since the receiver was looking at the defender, not advancing towards him, and the defender was looking right at him at contact.

I'm only rooting for them because they are coming to the Big 12.

They are going to lose by 50 next week in Eugene.

Deion is a fraud. People forget he used taxpayer money to fund his phoney high school “prime prep” several years ago to support his reality show and it absolutely failed and a lot of low income kids got ****ed over.

Kid can play. He’s basically putting the whole team on his shoulders at times

Safe to say the Colorado to PAC-12 experiment was a failure. At least they are coming back home to the Big 12 (Successor to the Big 8) where they belong. Deion Sanders has had a Mahomes-esque effect on Colorado on and off the field.

Mahomes-esque? LMMFAO :hmmm:

There are other things at play here.

Even PMII was run down for calling him Deion. It's wearing on people nerves, and fast.

I mean a lot of the top recruits want to play for him...

A lot of those kids that were at Jackson State and moved to Colorado with him were high end division 1 talent, they seem to be viewed differently because they went to a HBCU but it was because of Deion.

If he pulls top 10 recruiting classes, which I think he can, it will get really interesting.

What's not to like about Deion?

That he's using the transfer portal and NIL to his advantage?

What he's doing is pretty awesome. I don't think Colorado will win more than 7-8 games, but that's still a big achievement.

I think he can be a serious contender in 2-3 years.

That or some team is gonna throw a butt load of money at him to be the HC knowing kids wanna play for him.

As a Kansas fan and alum, I was horrified to see the Colorado fans storm the field after winning. Act like you’ve been there before.

It'd have to be a school that's like the SEC equivalent of Colorado in the Big 10 or SEC-irrelevant for 20-30 years while being embarrassing on the field and has nothing to lose with hiring someone as unconventional as Deion.

Unless he has a pipeline of his own children still coming up, this is going to end abruptly.

This is why I don't go to Colorado University concerts

Anyone catch "Prime Jr" poking that DE in the eye during the game? That isn't going to go over well with his Dad.

Keep winning, get to talk shit. Almost lost to a nobody like Colorado State, careful, you're about to lose your shit talking license.

I quit watching CU football during Neuheisel. I may have to pick it up again.

I had no idea Travis Hunter was related to Deion.

They haven't tho

I like to think he yelled captain insano shows no mercy as he did that.

He's doing everything I thought Frost would do LMAO

Oregon will bring them back to earth no doubt.

That was something.

They do have medications for delusions.;)

I am not one to follow College Football, but I have to say I had a good laugh when seeing the score today after all the self promotion of their head coach, ROFLROFL

They damn sure did. Ass kicked bad. Sanders boy got taught he is much.

No doubt but I think Deion knows he doesn't have the upper echelon D1 trench players needed but that will change in the next year or two for sure.

Sheduer is very talented. But in a team sport it doesn’t matter how good your QB is when the fatties are over matched it’s lights out. (See SB 55)

Correct.

He has been saying for a while now that he is 7-8 "dawgs" short of where the team needs to be.

I thought the Oregon coach's comments at halftime were precious. It was along the lines of (the score was 35-0 Oregon) "We're not done yet. I hope everyone is watching this game, since they've been watching them (the Buffs) so much this season" or words to that effect. Buffs ran into a buzz saw after 3 weeks of ultra hype and playing against teams who are sub par to say the least. These teams like Oregon are going to curb stomp them hard to prove a point. That number 14 ranking was a joke.

Coach Prime ain't shit when the real teams start playing. Lord, that was an ass kicking...

Meh, I haven't paid attention a ton to what Deion has said or whatever, but don't know why people get worked up about it... he might learn lessons in not getting other teams worked up, but he's also taken one of the worst football programs in recent years, beat a ranked team, went 3-0.... and they were 20 point underdogs yesterday; despite anything he said to get his team motivated, everyone knew where they stood.

Whatever he's doing is clearly working, and just like Kansas last year, it's not like they're going from shittiest ever to consistent world beaters in a matter of a season. Deion knows that just like everyone else.

Welcome back to Earth.

Agreed. Seems like some folks just don't like Deion, which is fine. I could care less about Colorado football but I can recognize a good coaching job when I see one. He has already tripled their win total from last year. He could lose out and this is still a better season. Oregon is really good. Everyone knew (probably even Deion) that the Ducks were gonna kick their ass. I think the Kansas comp is a good one. Colorado will probably win 6-7 games and make a lower tier bowl. Good for them.

How many 60 min interviews and prime time fluff pieces did the rest of the country have to see about Kansas? The opposing coach's clicks and wins line was pretty spot on.

I missed where Kansas hired a coach from a HBCU who in turn brought a bunch of HBCU players to a Division I school and was successful?

While personally fulfilling to see, a “loud” blowout just adds to the brand Deion is building

He’ll have all the dawgs he needs next season

No idea, but is it really any different than the Chargers hype every season, everything Tom Brady, and all the other examples of sports media latching onto hype, no matter how manufactured? :shrug:

Not to say it wasn't an extreme example, I don't watch all that shit for exactly that reason.

Regardless of the media taking it and running out of control with it, he's done a great job so far.

A 1-11 record last year. Even god almighty couldn't beat a legit top 10 team, a contender for the championship on their home turf in game 4 of his first season.

I agree. Next year he will land more top recruits and the best players in the portal.

I mean, it definitely doesn’t help to have a heisman caliber player on both sides of the ball out. A healthy Travis hunter maybe turns this from a humiliating blowout to a big loss. Which sounds like the same thing but it’s quite a bit different

I went to MU and despise the Gayhawks, you ****ing idiot.

Now we're getting to the good part.

In an attempt to not get thread banned or moved to DC I'll just say some of us expected the NFL HOF'er we've watched for years to be better than average at his job and to have some level of success. Treating him and his success as normal and expected instead of some kind of disney story line is a complement to him and his players. Fluffing it as more or less based on anything other than the actual performance seems to indicate a motive or belief.

3-0 isn't actual performance? Taking Jackson State - a perennial loser - to multiple bowl games after his arrival - isn't performance? Who has the motive or belief here?

:spock:

All he said is he went to school there.

I get the dislike of Deion and the attention he draws, but the school estimates that he's drawn roughly $90m of free advertising value this year from all the attention. Like it or not, he's doing a fantastic job of elevating the school's brand.

I don’t think we really know what his coaching style is. I’m a firm believer that in NCAA FB and MBB, it’s much, much less about X’s/O’s and way more about talent acquisition.

He’s getting talent. In the wide hash mark game of CFB, that can carry you a long way.

Whether you like me of hate me, I'm getting your attention.

/David Lee Roth.

This is CP.

AND you presumed he was KU fan.

funny but unnecessary.

;)

Mizzou beat a 15th ranked k-state team and didn't end up in the rankings for it.

No, Colorado didn't deserve their ranking and that's EXACTY why people are/were rooting against them.

I love Sanders and his approach. I don't think he's even that shameless self-promoter (many do it for him). But the sports media was in a rush to skip 2/3 of the 'hero's journey' and run straight to him slaying dragons.

This Deion is who he always has been and that can rub some the wrong way. The beat down yesterday was expected as the gap in talent between Oregon and Colorado is vast. They have gone from a 1-11 team to a 3-1 team so far. Sure his name and their victory over TCU contributed to their ranking, but he can coach and has them playing better than their talent should be. Will he ultimately make Colorado relevant from a wins perspective? Time will tell, but let’s see what he can do with more talent.

On a prayer 61 yard FG at the end of the game. Colorado basically led TCU the whole game and then traded go ahead 4th Q TD's before CU held them on Downs and won the game.

Mizzou was a 3.5 point favorite.
TCU was a 21 point favorite.

if you can't tell the difference in the games....

All of those celebrities showing up to watch Colorado barely beat Colorado State while being a heavy favorite was a pretty cringey moment

Why is that cringy? Just because you don't have celebrity friends to support you - I swear people are so salty.

I think what Deion is doing at Colorado is impressive and if they win 7 or 8 games he should be recognized nationally with different Coach of the Year awards.

However, that doesn't mean the team deserves the rankings/recognition they've gotten. Beating TCU was a nice win, though in all honesty, there shouldn't be rankings until like mid-October as everything is based off the previous season and not the current year.

Colorado is a good story to follow given the nature how Sanders is structuring their roster via a new and unconventional path.

Doesn't mean they're a good team (yet). Their defense is atrocious. They'll be good in 1-2 years.

I don't think Colorado should be ranked (see point above) but there's a style difference between beating a Power 5 team at home by 3 vs winning by 3 on the road against a Power 5 team.

You're the one doing all the assuming and white knighting here. Just go ahead and "bless his heart" while you're at it.

He's a HOF player turned coach with tools to be semi successful. So far he's used his tools to do a decent job of recruiting and then beat a few shit teams, including TCU, and lost to a boss. It's ok to leave it at that without the qualifier or turning the work into a Disney story. They might even get a few more wins if the media would do the same, but that doesn't pull the right strings so it will be what it will be and they'll wear a target for it.

.... and no, I don't believe I've ever met stevieray, but I assume it'd be a good experience if I ever did.

ALL of this.

It doesn't. Oregon murders them either way.

K-State was a far more intact team coming into the season than TCU, though. K-State is still a team that I think ends the season ranked in the top 20 (hell, I think they'll end the season ahead of Mizzou). They're a good football team.

TCU was a god football team in 2022 and a much lesser version of that in 2023. I watched both games and K-State played a very good game and got beat by Mizzou playing a slightly better one. The Colorado game was just TCU not knowing what it is without their Heisman finalist QB in Week 1 and they played like it. They weren't nearly the opponent in that game that K-State was.

And beyond that, you don't 'earn' a top 20 ranking through beating a team in Week 1 after winning 2 games the season prior. And those losses from Colorado last year weren't close - they were getting dog-walked by every team they played. That ranking was a gift born of hype and a hot game by their QB. And when they damn near lost to Colorado State and then got absolutely massacred this weekend, that was clearly proven. That's a 2 man show - that's not a top 25 football team and anyone viewing that through an objective lens would've recognized that.

When USC trucks them next week (and they will) then I suspect you'll see the 'hate' dial down and people who would've otherwise rooted for Sanders will start doing so again.

I want to see him do well because I like the message he puts out there and for all the 'new school' social media stuff, he still brings a very no nonsense, old-school foundation to his approach on dealing with college players (see: kids). I respect the hell out of that.

But I'm not interested in giving him a free pass.

I know it's easy to dunk on Colorado this week. Oregon agrees

Lol

We taking bets this thread dies within the next few weeks?

ROFL

Colorado isn't in the same league as Oregon and SC, did anyone think they'd be in those games?

That defense is tuurrbl

They probably need a few more celebrities on the sidelines. That seems to help.

Maybe give the players more sunglasses?

Doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

How are you defining "competitive"?

Uh I dunno at this rate SC is gonna put 50+ on them. Oregon didn't do that.

By scoring once in the first half vs 0 last week?

I only needed to watch the first half last week. Similar games. (IMO)

And I’m not trying to be a contrarian here. I like both Sanders’. Coach and QB.

Oregon's D is much better than USC's.

Buffs were a cute story, but story time is over for this year. Maybe Prime will field a D1 team next year.

And he called me dumb lol

Denverodo is so bad ROFL lulz at people that thought Sanders is an NFL QB

Nice drive
