I didn't write bare minimum, I wrote 'what is asked'. There's a difference.

What was asked was not to go 1 - 11 and to care.

Some players, as Coach Prime said, "never flinched" when he told the old team they sucked and weren't trying. Those few players stayed, earned their spots, and are playing.

I’d say getting the #2 ranked player to Jackson…plus the audience watching each week speaks for itself. Getting kids like Boo Carter on campus while they are committed to a school line Tennessee is another step in the right direction.

Todays game is now recruiting the portal, we don’t have to like it, it’s just how it is.

He currently has the #75 ranked class. Get real. The audience watching each week? What the hell?

Real is talking about Deion on a Tennessee message board. Audience? How many Colorado games have you watched prior to this year. He can be 75 all day, recruiting HS kids is part of it not the only way.

Just hosted the #1 2025 recruit.

If you know anything about Deion he’s never humbled..this was expected by everyone who wasn’t on the Prime Train. The person who needs to be humbled the most is his kid, wearing a $10k watch during warmups is ridiculous.

It was expected by those of us that enjoy what he's doing but are classified as being on the "Prime train" by his haters just because we don't hate on him.

His shtick is getting old fast. He intimated in an interview the reason opposing coaches are calling him out is his race. He left room to deny that’s what he said by saying to the interviewer you know why they are calling me out and you can say it. So he didn’t say it directly because he wanted to be able to back out if the comment. I hate to tell him but he’s not the first black coach or even the first black coach at a major university. Race has nothing to do with opposing coaches calling him out. It’s because his shtick is getting old.

Their "audience" does not have jack $hit to do with my point. Deion has not proven himself to even be an adequate recruiter.

Recruiting high school talent effectively is the only way to sustain success for any significant duration of time. There is no model for building a successful college football program with nothing but transfers.

... and if you are calling someone a good recruiter only from who they get visits from, rather than who they actually sign, then there wasn't a better recruiter from 2013 to 2017 than Butch Jones.

Your argument is complete nonsense.

It is not hating to be skeptical of the job that Deion is actually doing for Colorado. Mike MacIntyre went 10-4 at Colorado in 2016 .... I will be shocked if Deion ever even does that well.

Of course, the race card would eventually be played. That was predictable.

I don't get all the Prime hate here. He's harmless until he isn't. He's at Colorado. You have a mute button on your TV.

He's bringing in money for the area. He's getting people who don't watch football to talk about football. He's annoying but he's not my hero or my problem.

I see him like Taylor Swift. She shows up at football game and suddenly kids who don't think about football are finding out who Travis Kelce is and maybe buying some merch and vice versa. I listened to a few bars of a Swift song....... and like Deion, she's harmless. They say she writes her own songs and the kids like her and she's getting rich. Good for her. If she can hang around 60 years, she can look like Keith Richards.

Fads come and go. I didn't hate on pet rocks and I can't hate on Deion. I care about the same about them.

You don’t think HS kids watch college football? College game day when Colorado has had coverage each weekend? He’s created a buzz and he’s created excitement…look how many times you’ve commented on it. If Colorado is talked about of tv, Twitter etc that means another program is not. There is an old model and then there is the now model that is being created with the portal and NIL in all sports.

Well, Prime had them believing....... Now he has to guide them through being humbled.

Oregon was just better in every facet of the game.

That's going to happen to Colorado more times than not in conference play this year.

TCU win helped accelerate the hype. Oregon and USC back to back brings back reality of what Lanning was saying the “Cinderella story” is over.

There is a perception, which you seem to have bought into, that Deion is doing something special for Colorado right now ... but is he really?

In 2016, Mike MacIntyre (who would eventually be fired), went 10-4 with a 41-38 road win over Oregon. They also beat Colorado State convincingly. They didn't play either TCU or Nebraska that year. At one point in the 2016 season, Colorado was ranked as high as #9 in the country. What Deion is doing right now, is not unprecedented at Colorado. I think it is being overblown, because he is such a great former player, and he has such a flamboyant personality.

Yes, and here's where it gets difficult for Deion. He's always just been the guy that suited up and made it happen. Coaching is very different. You have to build a culture, he's created a narrative, now we will see if he can build the culture.

I'm still undecided whether I think he's going to be successful...... I'm not even sure he's serious about the coaching angle right now. Part of me believes he's just getting his kids attention and draft status for the NFL.

Either way you have to respect the guys ability to generate buzz and promote.

College football is all about money now. Deion is bringing the money to the area and to the school. He's probably brought more revenue to the Denver/Boulder area than any previous CO coach.

Follow the money. He's successful. He's a pain to listen to for me but he's getting the job done. The job at CO, at any school, is no longer to bring a Natty but to generate revenue. It's a business. He's an ass but he's good for business.

I didn’t say he’s doing anything except bringing exposure to the program, from audience to future players from HS to portal taking notice. I’ve stated he’s a coach in name. No reason to bring up MacIntrye, Barnett, Neuheisel or McCartney those coaches didn’t take over a 1 win team in the playoff era.

LOL. You are deflecting from the results on the football and the recruiting trail. All of that instant revenue is short lived, unless there is sustained success on the field.

10M viewers watching the Oregon game, 9.3M the week before. Probably 10.5+M this weekend.
