I will have to eat crow on Sanders, he's turned them around. Even earlier this season I thought it was going to be same ol. I still don't really want them to win the B12 though because the hype going into their playoff game will be Bronny James level....though at least this one would be earned.

When I think of Deion Sanders, I think of his incredibly long and graceful strides. He would show an extra gear, after you thought he had already shown you his extra gear. Fastest football player ever... with the possible exception of Darrell Green.

He was the fastest man in the NFL at like 40. He was also a All-American in track while in college.

He is the four-time winner of the NFL's Fastest Man competition,[5] and the only undefeated multiple winner in NFL history.[12] Green is rumored to have the fastest recorded 40 yard dash time of 4.09, which he is said to have run consistently in Washington's 1986 training camp. Green was in the news on February 16, 2010, his 50th birthday, for reportedly running a 4.43-second 40-yard dash

He’s just pointing out how wrong some folks were about Deion’s ability to turn around CU’s program.

CU exceeded expectations this season after they were left for dead after barely beating NDSU.

Barring a complete collapse they still make a bowl game, which hasn’t happened in Boulder for quite some time.

They have such an easy schedule and having 2 of the best players in CFB that’s a recipe for success. I’ll be anxious to how things are without Travis Hunter and even Shedeur but ya only play the people on your schedule

For some reason you became defensive when I said that you seemed invested in Deion Sanders/Colorado football's success, and asked why. There was no reason for that. I meant nothing by it. There is nothing wrong with being a fan of either/or both. As a lifelong Cowboys and Braves fan, I loved Deion as an athlete.

I take back that you seem like an ok guy. Cowboys, really BB? Disgusting. Braves are good. Keep it in the ATL and go with the Falcons. They’re never a threat to anyone but themselves.

As a Falcons fan he brought an energy to that team and attention they hadn’t seen. Plus, at the same time, he helped get them to the playoffs (‘91 I believe) and that was quite the accomplishment back then. That was way back when they were an NFC West team with the Rams, the hated Niners and the Aints. Fun times.

As of right now .... the 2024 Dallas Cowboys are the worst home team in NFL history. They are 0-5 in Jerry World, and they have been outscored by an average of 23 points per game. The average score is 37-14 in favor of their opponent, when they have played at home this season.

Cool…so we should wait until they lose some games without those two guys before passing judgment.

That’s just crazy. I lived out in Arlington a couple years and it just so happened the Falcons opened the season in Dallas so I bought tix. This was before the new stadium. The Falcons did win somehow but I was still not happy as I really wanted to see Michael Vick play and he didn’t as he got hurt in preseason. I hope all is well with you BB!

Also, if the Braves had won the 1992 World Series vs the Blue Jays, Deion would have probably been the MVP. He was great in that series.

The ‘92 NLCS is still probably the best series I’ve ever watched. Too bad it didn’t work out against the Jays. The ‘91 WS would’ve taken the cake if it weren’t for damn Jack Morris. That was a great series though. I still have a copy of the paper showing Greg Olson jumping in Smoltz’s arms when they clinched the division going worst to first in ‘91. I grew up in the Atlanta area and loved Dale Murphy (my favorite player as a kid), Bob Horner, Glen Hubbard, etc. and they always sucked until ‘91 changed it all. As a Braves and Falcons fan and Deion playing for both I’ve always liked Neon. Like him or not, what he’s done at Colorado is impressive and they’re exciting. Yes they’ve played an easy schedule but who wouldn’t want to see Hunter and Shedeur go up against someone like Penn State? I’d watch.

Honestly, I'm not sure we could beat them right now. He's done a heckuva job.

I'm pretty sure we would beat CU. They are good for their conference and a legit top 25 team.. but I think people underestimate how competitive SEC football is from top to bottom. Miss State, Vandy, Kentucky, Florida, Arkansas may been Auburn would give all but the top 2 or 3 big12, big10, ACC teams fits.

As a whole the SEC has 60 losses. Only 8 of those came from out of conference. 52 were internal.
Texas lost to ND
LSU to USC
Vandy to GA state<-- bad loss
Arkansas to Oklahoma State
Florida to Miami
Auburn to Cal
Mississippi State to AZ State and Toledo

Of those 8 losses only one was to a BAD team. All of those teams except for Ga State have at least 5 wins and likely go bowling. Only Toledo, Cal and Ga State have not been ranked at some point this year.

The ACC has 17 OOC losses
Big10 has 10 OOC losses
Big12 13 OOC losses

The SEC 5-2 against the ACC. 2-2 against big 12. 3-1 against the Big10. Basically we dominate outside our conference as a group. 2024 College Football Conference Records - topdan.com
