Guess the hype is gone from Coach Prima Deion

Did subprime keep receipts on all the no-shows?
i don't think that's a decision Deion can even make.FWIW, per ESPN.
Deion has 'work to do,' won't follow sons to NFL
Colorado coach Deion Sanders reiterated his commitment to the program following Saturday's spring game, saying he had no plans to leave to follow his sons to the NFL and that he has "work to do" with the Buffaloes.www.espn.com
his college game is entirely predicated on building a massive talent advantage.
guys like Urban Meyer couldn't hack it in the NFL because the playing field is pretty close to level, except for the QB position.
I watched some of their spring game, wasn't pretty. I think it may be a rougher year for the sanders crew than last season.
In other words they love to talk shit behind the safety of a computer screen, but in person they're buddy buddy to not get beat the crap out of.
Tragic as our weather was, 99% of us were not affected. 100% of CU fans were.
I happen to be in the thick of that storm and had to drive over 4hrs out of my way to get around it. If we had the same weather for ours, our attendance would have been similar. Deion gives us plenty of reasons to laugh at him...this ain't one. The fact 28K people showed up was impressive. Forecasters were scaring the shit out of people starting 24hrs before that game. Interatate was down to one lane 6hrs before the game...an addl 1-2' of snow was predicted by some....if you're going to hold tbat against people then have at it.
Having said all that, I totally agree with you about CU fans....and Deion. I gave him plenty of grace to now but i'm all out. Dude is as weird as it gets and I think his time at CU will be considered a huge disappointment.
I mtn bike in the Rockies a lot. I've yet to ever meet an asshole. I'm also wondering how many mtn bikers in Colorado are football fans and participate on message boards. My guess is about nill.
Um...28k tickets were sold. Even the denver post said about 14k showed.
Hope they suck but they do have a very good, experienced qb and we just hope Raiola will be ready when he is fair game to be hit. But our defense should be superior even if the offense sucks again.
South Denver got 6" of snow. It's stunning they drew 28,000. That would be around 15th nationally.
It will be different if we can actually score points. The defense didn’t start breaking down until having to go back out there after how many turnovers by our offense. In fact they actually played well the first half sacking Shedur at least a half dozen times.
I don’t know about “prime ski season”—I think Breck and A Bay are still open, but the weather wasn’t great.
Except they didn’t according to the Denver post… only half showed up, around 14k.
The thing is…you can always go skiing. There’s only one Spring game.
That’s the funny thing about Pascals comment, It is not prime skiing season. He’s just making excuses for one of his favorite teams.
cu continues to leak serious talent. so i'm not confident one way or the other on sanders particularly when he loses his son and the other dude. and the league did him no favors scheduling: uofa, oSu, ku, utah, ucf, and k-state. that's four to six losses. but cu does have the b12 championship game scheduled and sanders said he wasn't impressed with the league, so who knows? the game at lincoln will foretell.

Sping game attendance scoreboard baby!!! YES!!!!
Hopefully we can beat em on the scoreboard that matters this season.
Listen man, I'm really not appreciating your fair-mindedness right now.
Please list my my top ten great know-it-all.
The culture on here isn't about counter arguments because apparently that skill is non-existent. Instead create strawmen.
You're clearly a puff fan in hiding. You've been waiting for this moment to reveal your true colors!
Maybe the Raiders will hire him so he can continue to coddle his boy in Vegas.
I defer to 123456. It is worth thinking about. It's easy to get along with your signal-caller when he is a relative. We'll see how he manages QB egos from here on out.
Looks like CU's record was a product of playing a weak conference schedule.
Their schedule next year is pure garbage too. Anyone who thinks the Big12 is anywhere near as difficult as the Big10 and SEC is on crack.
Has he ever not promoted his brand above anything else?
Can’t replace Travis Hunter. Tough to replace Shedeur right away. Has a 5 star qb coming but man it won’t be easy for a freshman.
Which ever GM drafts Shaduer will be fired by years end.
Yes. I think Shaduer is overrated.
If I were a GM I’d be in my coaches and owners ears saying we don’t need to take a QB in the 1st round. It’s an anemic QB class, let’s save some money, maybe grab a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round if the right guy is available. Otherwise let’s hold off on QB till next year and build the team up at other positions. And then hope they listen to you…
I don't think the hype is going anywhere.
Last night's game contained only two things:
1) BYU kicking Colorado's ass.
Yes, Deion's QB kid again took a bunch of sacks instead of throwing the ball away (because sacks do not negatively affect QBR) and, yes, Deion's safety kid put on yet another display of zero awareness of what's happening on the field, but both of those were just part of the ass kicking.
2) The announcers hyping Sanders, openly competing for which one got to service him after the game
On #2… More than that, I tuned in for the 4th quarter, and was blown away by how much the commentators were singing Shedeur’s praises, how tough he was and how appealing that would be to an NfL team. He could have quit but didn’t, the NFL will be fortunate to have him, blah blah blah…
