    He did well at a 1-AA program. He could be like most of the coaches there over the past 20 years and fail or leverage 7-5 into some SEC or ACC job. The guy was a prima donna asshole 30 years ago, but maybe he'll do well. I preferred watching him on NFL N over the woke corporate dreck on ESPN for my NFL lowlights.

    A couple things:

    We have a new President who is serious about football. Hasn't been that way since Gordon Gee was here in the late 80s. There are increased resources being devoted, transfer issues being fixed and a serious splash hire.

    Deion is hardly the soft player type if you've listened to him at all at his time at Jackson State.

    Jackson State

    Deion will flame out in spectacular fashion at Colorado. Pretty confident in that. Another sizzle guy that will win a ton in the off-season and create a soft culture by coddling guys that otherwise wouldn’t give Colorado a sniff.

    I don't think he coddles guys.
    I’m probably wrong here, basically in full LIPO mode though. If Deion wins the way he is trying to win at CU it will be a total one of one move and unlike anything seen before in CFB. That’s where my initial skepticism came from and still kinda resides. But, he’s obviously a force of nature in certain regards and has a name and resume that is as unique as any we’ve seen before. Yet, my semi-old school football mindset is screaming that he wants to take shortcuts that rarely get rewarded.

    EWIWBI post of the day I know.

    Kansas at Arrowhead much more of a challenge than Utah at this point.

    Even if Buff can't beat Ute, it's hard to avert one's glance at improved Buff. That program was dead on its feet and as we? all know, that can go on for fucking decades. Bottom line is that Buff is winning, it's relevant and is in a position to recruit. Fan base is activated and behind it and the school and administration follows.

    It's really simple. They're better. Much better.

    I was looking back at some of the posts on this thread. The idea that Sanders is this immature guy who doesn't know how to act, is using everybody and an ego-driven diva, blah blah blah, then then overlooking all of those things about coaches like Saban (a fucking massive diva), Kelly and others when it's super obvious, is staggering.

    @ntxduck @Kaepsknee let's go.
