Most expensive ticket of the week once again is CU, this time for little bro CSU. Gameday, Big Noon Kickoff, First Take, McAfee all doing shows in Boulder this weekend. 60 Minutes also in Boulder for their lead story. Wild shit.
Good for you guys but who gives a fuck about any of that. You could legitimately get ass raped in Eugene and then Deion's whole schtick is just a house of cards.
This is not only very true, but probable.
It's not a schtick. He's a good coach.
I remember arguing with some bonios last year who were trying to claim he was a crappy coach at Jackson State. Even though he was something like 11-2 and 12-1 the last couple of years.
Rick cut in line to get the Colorado job too allegedly
The old fucks like Gary Barnett didn't forget
Most coaches are idiots
But Rick played acoustic guitar and helped people calm the fuck down. Deion seems to have the opposite effect.
Rick was hated until he was faded
He was kind of trumpian in the way people reacted to him. Babs put UW on probation after his first week
Babs bragged at the water cooler every morning in the soup line about her 10-year hiring achievements and failed attempts at chinking Pup's stainless armor.
At the 94 Whammy captain Sapp blew the opening coin toss letting the Huskies receive the first and second half kick off. People forget.
This could be Prime's first miss. Sapp is or was a ridiculously gifted player - people that size should not be able to move and twitch like he could - but he was also undisciplined, unpleasant and didn't need great technique because of his genes. And he's an asshole. I don't see that working out, but whatever.

I think skepticism about his coaching was warranted. He had a massive talent advantage at JSU. MASSIVE. Two of the games he lost were in the HBCU title game on NYD. So when everything was on the line and an opponent had a pulse he lost, twice. That said he’s 2-0 this year when teams have similar talent. He’s got two more games like that against UA and WSU. As I thought he’d win four games this year, if he wins those two, he probably finishes 7-5 and that would be quite impressive and I’ll be a believer. Remember, this isn’t a 1-11 team. That team was told to LEAVE! This is a team with 70 new players. A team that should be better than 1-11 with future NFL players peppered throughout the roster.

TCU and Colorado are simply two mediocre teams with inept defenses.
TCU frittered away about 20 points through its offense's incompetence when presented opportunities.
If I had to bet, after this weekend's meeting of mediocre teams in Boulder, the Buffs will be 1-1.
As good as the rest of your analysis and takes.
I obviously overrated Nebraska when I called them mediocre. And CU gets to play another inept offense this week. Hit the hype machine, Gloria.
I heard CO would win 3 games this year MAX. 5 was out of reach. Care to take that line or did you want to back peddle further?
I doubt I ever said that.
And 3 - 0 after CSU is more than likely. 'Cuz CSU. And they get to play both Arizona schools this year.
Less than 5 -7 seems like an abject failure.
I feel like the goal posts are being moved for Coach Prime. We are talking about a team that was Cal-too-high away from Owen last season, and not a single loss was even close, or close to being close. I've been told it's impossible to compete in P5 first year after a thorough roster ass cleaning. Now we're saying anything less than 5-7 is an abject failure? Well, it would represent a 4 to 6 win improvement over last year, despite said roster turnover.
I don't get it. The guy has turned out to be a semi-serious coach with ambition to get his team to be better. Nobody doubts that when they run into SC, UW and UO that they're going to get their asses kicked at least two out of those three, and lose the other one. But you have to give him a fair standard to beat and not move it around every week he wins.
Surprising they beat TCU. Fortunate to win, but a win is a win. Good for them. But TCU is no better than mediocre.
Nebraska is terrible--can't execute a snap or a handoff without giving the ball to the opposition. At this rate, they might win 3 this year, assuming they beat their 2 remaining non-Power 5 foes.
Colorado State looked pretty awful.
Personally, I never claimed it's impossible to bring in a whole new team and win. It happens in the NFL from time to time. In an era of unlimited free agency, it'll happen in college too.
So he'd be a genius at 5-7?
Not a genius but his OC is a good coach and he gets his guys ready to go. Beating TCU was a win I didn’t think he’d get. Nebraska was always a toss up and CSU is bad. He will be 3-0 after next week but the P12 is tough this year. His team is thin on players. If they stay healthy 6-6 seems on the table. That would be pretty amazing. That defense is bad and thin. I imagine they’ll get worse, not better as the year goes on. The offensive line isn’t great and I’d think his son will take a pounding. 3-9 was my original thought but I’ll think anywhere from 4-8 - 7-5 is on the table depending on injuries.
They will win at least 7. My guess is 8 or 9.
They have 22 good to great CFB players. Do they have 50? Depth and defense are my concerns for 7-9 wins. UW gave up 40 twice last year with a decimated secondary. Colorado was fully healthy when TCU torched them for 42. EWIWBI
Colorado has Travis Hunter. A five star, top 10 freshman CB is third string. Their secondary is better. UW’s defense last year was probably worse.
Smalls is third string. They aren’t deep but they have some talent on defense. Their offense is legit, even with a bad OL. They can get away with it in the PAC 12. I’m glad we aren’t going to Boulder this year. That game would be a dangerous shootout.

Same as why he wears sunglasses all the time - he’s the pitchman for a shades company.
Always be closing.
