With so many new faces learning the system at Colorado next year, hopefully that bodes well for us in game 1.
Yeah, how does everyone feel about this? They’ll have a completely new roster. No Sanders boys, no Travis Hunter, losing a ton of pieces, but reloading with some talented guys I’m sure. Their intake is currently ranked 25th overall on 247 (we’re 21st). Will Deion be there? I don’t see him getting an NFL offer. If his boys aren’t there, will he be as invested? If he does bail, that roster will flip back to Colorado status quo quicker than you say fifth down.

I wish we’d open with a cupcake for a change. Colorado was one when we scheduled this.

Never underestimate the NFL. There will be some musical chairs after Black Monday.
Someone may take a chance.

Irvin wants Sanders on the cowboys and so does Jones. They will just have to figure out what that looks like. Daddy Ball is coming to the nfl
Sanders has so much more power in college with transfers and recruiting. In the NFL, you are limited by both the draft and the salary cap. Obviously money may talk but I think it would be a mistake for him.

What Irvin wants is meaningless. Jones likes to be The Man in Dallas. Not likely he hires a Coach that would overshadow him.

Does he want Deion coaching, or does he want his son throwing?

Are they a package deal?

(I rolled my eyes at the sideline interviews of “Coach Prime”. Why not “Coach Sanders”?)

Me and you are a package deal. If I go to another site, I'm taking you with me. But only if they call you 'slug'..

I should probably add that I find it stupid for them to call him Coach 'Prime'.

But imho that's them clout chasing. And displaying the general lack of journalistic integrity these networks are now known for.

They don't wanna tell the story, they wanna be part of it.

I don't think there's any way that he's forcing or even asking them to do that.

Dafuq is he gonna do, forbid them from airing the game?

It’s how he refers to himself in the third person, how all the reporters and ESPN people refer to him, and it’s what’s on his hat and big gold necklace.

I I’m out in Colorado this week, and he’s everywhere as “Coach Prime”. Players are in car commercials.

If I remember correctly, doesn't Coach Saban call him Coach Prime in the AFLAC commercials?

Let me thinly slice this hair to make it clear what I'm responding to.

My guy forensic seemed to suggest the BSPN folks calling him prime was an indication of narcissistic behavior.

I'm saying thats BSPN showing their usual lack of journalistic professionalism. I don't think he makes them call him that. I think they're doing it on the own so sound like they're 'down'.

I definitely agree him referring to himself that way is strange and clearly ego-driven.
