Does Colorado know how to get out of the no huddle and run the clock?????
I didn’t get to watch this game. The superintendent was roaming around the unit so I couldn’t get on the phone…Late to the party, but it's looking good already.
I’m bout to watch it now
All those wins against trash teams. The only noteworthy team(Georgia) so far kicked the shit out of them 34-3.
Good for him. I hope he gets it together, so he can play more than garbage time minutes. Hopefully, his work ethic has improved. From what I've been hearing out of Gainesville, it hasn't though.
Yeah, hopefully this is the start of getting his act together
that’s great to see
Are You still telling him to hit the portal
I hadn’t even noticed the score until you referred to it. Still glad to see the man making progress though.

Deion Sanders stands firm on 'Must be the Money' approach at Colorado

The Colorado Buffaloes football team is riding high after an impressive 34-7 victory over Arizona, a game where their defense shone brightly. For the first time this season, the Buffs’ defense was able to dominate their opponents, recording seven sacks on the Arizona quarterback. This defensive performance set the tone for the game, showcasing a new level of intensity and cohesion from the Buffaloes. The overall effort of the Buffs football team showed their play was taken to another level with Jimmy Horn Jr , who played in the game and Travis Hunter for the second half before being sidelined because of his shoulder injury.
The grit shown by Horn Jr. and Hunter adds another layer of complexity to a conversation Coach Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, had with his team leading up to the game, particularly regarding NIL deals. Coach Prime has been vocal about the state of NIL in college football, often criticizing its impact on players and programs. In a 2022 social media post, he commented on how NIL has become a "pay-per-view" system, suggesting that when players are paid like professionals, they may begin to act like professionals—a reality that has made it difficult for some programs to keep pace.
In the evolving landscape of NIL, the Colorado Buffaloes have set a new standard for success. Partnering with SMAC Entertainment, the production company behind Coach Prime's documentary, Colorado blends media visibility with athlete compensation to the tune of $600,000 total, according to the Washington Post. This strategy has paid off, with players like Hunter and Shedeur Sanders earning substantial NIL income. Rather than depending on traditional booster support, Colorado leverages its media assets to enhance athletes' personal brands, positioning them as leaders in the NIL era and bridging the gap with more financially powerful schools. Their media-driven approach has proven highly effective.
Now, as the head coach of a Power Five program with access to significant resources, Sanders finds himself at the center of this conversation. NIL has provided programs like Colorado the means to attract top talent, but as Coach Prime hinted, it’s not a guaranteed path to success. His message to his team, however, transcends NIL: it’s about work ethic, personal responsibility, and preparing for life beyond football. His speech before the game highlighted the reality that for many athletes, their college careers—and the financial benefits they receive through NIL—won’t last forever. He challenged his players to ask themselves what their plan is once the checks stop coming in, once the NIL deals are gone, and once football is over.
Coach Prime’s message to his players is clear. NIL and financial benefits can’t substitute for hard work and commitment. He urged his team to focus on building a winning culture, warning that players who don’t buy into this mindset may need to seek opportunities elsewhere. As Colorado prepares for the early signing period and the opening of the transfer portal, Sanders is focused on creating a lasting culture of excellence, one that won’t tolerate mediocrity.
With some of Colorado’s premier players likely moving on to the NFL after this season, Sanders understands that the standard he is setting now will shape the program’s future. The expectations from fans, the coaching staff, and the players themselves will only continue to rise, and Coach Prime is determined to build a team that can live up to those expectations year after year. His vision for the Buffaloes goes beyond short-term success; it’s about instilling a long-term culture of winning and accountability.
We'll Cincinnati tends to punch above their weight in their previous conferences. Like CU, Big 12 is bigger challenge for them this year.
Gonna be another long Saturday. Looking at this schedule below. I think if they get by Cincy, they have a bye before they play TT, Utah is the only game left on the schedule that concerns me, but I think they win out. Thing about CO is that they are playing as a complete team right now. That Defensive Line is playing out of their minds and they can run the ball. They can beat you with the run or the pass. What they are doing is that if they can get up 2 or 3 scores, they have the defense to sit on the lead because now they can pin their ears back and sack the QB. Shoutout to Warren Sapp and Loadholt for having both lines playing very well. @Mask You going to any games?

Bro this a nice lil write up
The schedule is really there for the taken, Cinny is who I’m worried about the most.
Initially I wanted to this game, even chatted with someone in the CU circle about tickets. I just never reached out to her because my roadawg going to Detroit, to watch the Lions. I really wasnt about going solo, but I’m see about the Utah game. If he’s bout it or not, i’m entertain the idea of going. Can’t keep letting these opportunities pass. They cats gonna be done with college soon.
I gotta get my Jimmy Horn jersey signed
in Colorado.For as the team playing, you’re correct they can run the ball the can pass tooo
So getting a couple scores and them backs go to working it’s tough.
On the flip side, their battled tested so being in a shootout works tooo
The defense been key, even tho Sapp name gets mention often, they have 3 damn coaches…. They better be fucking great when you have that many
Damione Lewis former NFL
Warren Sapp former NFL(sapp kinda a make sure their head right)
Vince Dancy former NBCU head coach
If you ask me, that group have plenty of knowledge and insight to display perfection.
The other thing that works with this group, the backs play a ton of man.
People don’t give them a ton of credit but them dude play pretty good to say the amount of man they play.
Now that’s how they gave up that late td to Kansas State,
they was in man… one on one on the outside and the db didn’t get his head around(hell I’m not sure if he jammed at the line either)
Before the North Dakota contest, I said 9-3 so hopefully Cinny assist with the 6-2
