Colorado storming field before game was over

[207 others]

Then pimo1 will post another Gone With the Wind length essay full of semantics about Colorado again. Until then he will have his kleenex and lotion watching their X and Os at 3 in the morning watching Deon NFL clips and ordering Shedeur bobbleheads

Shedeur will be a bust the levels of Ryan Leaf in the NFL too by the way. Hopefully one of my rival teams drafts him.

I agree totally that Deion is not a very good X's and O's coach and id argue that's not as big a deal as some might think. Also, he is exactly what Colorado and college football needs for this transition. He is brash and his moves are setting a roadmap for how things are done (or not done). Most of these guys that have been in coaching for years are not gonna have the balls to hit the portal quite the way he has. he is the crash test dummy and a lot of do's and don'ts will be learned from his time in CO. I don't think he will last there long because no one lasts there long. On average in the modern era average coach is there 3-4 years. They haven't had a long term coach since McCartney left in 95. They do not have a rich history of winning in the TV era, even less in the color TV era. Because they are in Boulder Colorado. NIL changes that because its easier to convince a kid to go play in the snowy mountains of Boulder if he's getting paid to do it. Just a hint the kids that you need to build a winning program are rarely very accustomed to snow and mountains.

Prime will most likely not be anywhere near a hall of fame coach EVER. I do however think his efforts will contribute to how football programs are ran going forward. He will show a lot of things you can do that people think couldn't and he will also prove something you definitely should not do.

How is Deion what college football needs for its transition? Transition to what?

Not just like 1994. That Kordell Stewart play was much farther and even less likely.

 

[hUTch2002]

Whenever CU wins a close home game, they rush the field and act like they just beat a #1 team. They need to live in reality that Deion is and will not be a good coach. No hate towards him, He's just not the guy. And the media needs to cut back on the Buffs getting all the attention.

Eh, it’s just fans having fun. This was basketball but when I was a freshman at UT we rushed the court when we beat Miami OH on a buzzer beater. That’s part of the fun and excitement of sports and Colorado has been bad a long time so there’s nothing wrong with it at all.

No they did this last year just in my opinion, they should calm down by now and know they will never be more than a 6-6 team. But they always get a decent amount of attention just because Deion is there.

So fans can only have fun once every decade? Once a year is too much? Do you know the last time there was excitement around football in Colorado? About 20 years ago. For the last 19 years the benchmark for a good season has been 5 wins in Boulder. Folks are acting like this is a program and fanbase that's been going bowling yearly and Prime came in and dropped the ball. Since 1997 Colorado has ended the season ranked 3 times. They are the equivalent of Vandy except Vandy had been to twice as many bowl games as them since Barnett left and that's even counting the covid bowl colorado played in.

People are seriously discounting how much of a dumpster fire Colorado was until last year. Now its just that fire in a barrel with some hobo's around it.. but guess what that fire serves a purpose. Its warming up some hobo's and maybe just maybe their newly warm hands will allow them to get jobs and not be hobos anymore? I am just saying instead of always trying to find reasons to hate can't we give people credit for what they are accomplishing in context? Nah that would require thinking and logic.

you have a point and I cant argue, I know what it feels like to be hungry fanbase. All I'm saying is that I dont think Deion will get them to winning seasons year in and year out. The guy brings in the 90 players from the portal and when they are 2 and 3 stars, you cant rebuild like that. And he's ranked 79th in recruiting, you just cant rebuild like that. But I do understand your point about the fans.

I disagree and that’s cool that we see it differently. I say enjoy the wins when they happen however you like (the CU fans I mean). Deion is certainly an attention seeker and getter. He does have a couple of really talented players but a lower tier bowl game is likely their ceiling if I had to guess.

100% agree and that's what I'm trying to say, as long he's there they will get attention, but wont be better than an a mid-tier team.

We’re just guessing of course but I agree with that. His son is a talented player though and Hunter is an absolute freak. They might not be world beaters but they are entertaining.

Yes i think Travis could be a Heisman finalist.

I dont think anyone expects that... what they expect him to do is inject some life in the program and he has done it. I am not sure if Prime is cut out to be a P4 head coach. People forget that college football is a business FIRST always has been. Now its just more clear. On the business side Colorado is winning big with Prime. Their name is ringing and apparel is selling. I don't think any coach could have come in and made the turn around he has made there in this period of time.

Colorados recruiting class rankings per On3 only goes back to 2002 but it makes the point.

2022 54
2023 35 Prime

And people wonder why he hit the portal so hard? Colorado is hard to recruit to. Barnett is probably easily the second or third best coach Colorado has ever had. MacIntyre you might remember as DC at Ole Miss and Memphis was a decentish coach also. So compared to most P5/P4 coaches Prime is not very good. Compared to coaches at Colorado the past 25 years he is a hall of fame already with his 7 wins. Context is important.

Just giving the fanbase something to get excitted about, I'm all for that.

I remember the “old” Friday after Thanksgiving games between Nebraska and Colorado. That was always a favorite of mine.

We were a dumpster fire also couple that with sanctions. We got no remorse fk em. 0 fks given about Colorado and the fighting Deion's.

 

[pimo1]

We were a dumpster fire also couple that with sanctions. We got no remorse fk em. 0 fks given about Colorado and the fighting Deion's.

The level of the fire isn't even comparable. Tennessee has won less than 5 games once since 1978 we have never won less than 4 since 1925. Colorado has had 12 seasons of 4 or less losses since 2000 2 of those were 1 win 2 were 2 2 were 3 that's 6. The last time Tennessee won only 3 games was 1924 when college seasons were 8 games. At our very worst this last little over a decade.... We have missed 9 bowl games since 1981...Colorado has missed 15 since 2006. to get to 15 for UT you'd have to go back to 1964.

You are comparing apples to rotten potatoes here. Our bad string was first-world problems. We were the rich trust fund kid whos dad refused to pay for our coke a few months. Colorado is the poor kid who has to share the same pair of shoes with his 3 brothers. We are returning to the promised land...Colorado fans would be hard to convice there is such a thing.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Colorado blows you just said so yourself. Frankly who gives a sh1t about Deion and his kids ? The man is an attention whore and Shadeur give me a damn break, is no where near the player they make him out to be. Sure he looks good playing Baylor and that weak schedule. All you have to do is look at Grayson McCall for a comparable. He could be a better athlete and he has some talent but he isn't a first rd pick. There are much better qb's that out there.

 

[Dudleys87]

No one is gonna give Shedur credit for being able to perform at a dang near heisman level playing 6 vs 16? I mean at thus point its clear Colorados Oline is not on their side. Has a QB ever in history gotten sacked 8 times in a game and brought those results? Forget winning the fact that kid is ambulatory and sane is amazing. Dude has been hit and sacked more the last 2 years than most conferences.

If colorados oline was at least bad they would be a dangerous team. Instead they are so beyond bad they are like extra dlinemen. This shows that the other members of that offense are that good they can overcome that crap.

As i have said all year Colorado is a bowl team and they are improving. People are so focused on hating on prime they are ignoring that the team is improving. That being said no idea what comes next year..without Shedur no idea how this works and unless something drastically changes with the oline no QB in their right mind goes there.

It might have a lot to do with knowing they get nothing while being told everyone has to earn their way. Mean while his own son gets to isolate himself from the team by playing his own song rather the the fight song. No one can wear hoodies to team meeting or be on a phone but his son is in a hoodie and sweats and is on his phone laughing.

Would you block for someone that only cares about himself and when things don’t work out he throws you under the bus?

I could have sworn football is a team sport…

Please stop listening to fake news... that story about the song is not true.

Son or not if you are that kid on any team with any coach you let him wear his hoodie and you know it. The arguments you make are ridiculous.

You act like he is making things up. This dude is taking historically high numbers of sacks. He started complaining after like the 3rd concussion. Folks need to start actually following teams instead of stories. I have been following this team since JState. They tried the Kumbaya crap.. it didn't work. Shedur Sanders has put up Heisman numbers for 2 years IN SPITE of his offensive line. Sanders took 52 sacks last year (his backup took another 4). He was hit over 200 times. Thats like once every 2 drop backs. he threw for 27 TD's and probably took a hit on 20 of those. Watch this and talk to me.



Yes football is a team sport and when one unit isn't pulling their weight they get put to task. letting your QB get sacked over 5 times a game is not ok on any planet. And lets get the facts straight.. the throwing Olinemen under bus happened AFTER the Nebraska game when he got sacked 6 freaking times. So far this online is on pace to give up even more sacks. Than last year.. they have given up 16 already in 4 games (8 vs baylor) and haven't even hit the meat of their schedule. On top of that he made a statement of common sense. If you want to call this him throwing the Oline under the bus gawd bless ya. How many times did Raiola get touched was his statement. Given his history and how he puts his body on the line EVERY snap he gets to say that and if any other QB said that after that none of you would have an issue. Context and FACTS are important sir.

The good news is: Aranda might be a candidate at UF if Battle

What about Aranda for Tennessee DC if Banks gets a HG gig?

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

What about Aranda for Tennessee DC if Banks gets a HG gig?

I don't think Aranda would step down in the SEC, though I might be wrong. If Baylor buys him out I look for him to take a position coach NFL spot..... linebackers or something. I'm not 100% on Aranda, which is why it wouldn't break my heart if UF hired him at HC.

I'm hoping Banks stays a year or two more, wins a Natty with Heupel, then he'll be hard to keep.

 

[pimo1]

Soooooo crickets from the prime haters club? 14 point underdogs win by 27. Like I said their one problem has been their Oline. Their oline finally plays a decent game they finally show a semblance of a rushing game and bam. Colorado will make a bowl game. UCF was probably one of the best teams on their schedule this year. The Ranked teams left on their schedule are all overrated. They have a bye week to rest and build on this win.

Prime will never be a hall of fame coach but he is what Colorado and college football need right now.

 

[LouderVol]

I will own it, Colorado looked far better than I thought they would against UCF. but watching the game it still felt like a 3 person show. I still stand by my assessment they aren't a "team" they are just a collection of individuals who just so happen to be playing for Deion.

UCF had a big play where the CU defender just absolutely took himself out of the play after being the closest person after the catch. There was a lot more standing around and watching than I would call a "swarming" defense. top rusher had less than 50 yards. aside from Sanders getting beat up and Hunter playing 150 snaps there doesn't seem to be anyone going out there to lay it on the line. seemed like any time there was a chance for a big moment CU didn't come thru.

I still think they have a long road ahead of them.
