I watched parts of this game, the BUffs deserve a lot of credit I think, they played pretty clean, defense got torched, but offense responded.  Better disciplined that perhaps might be expected.  Maybe TCU is pretty far down, dunno, but Colorado won.

Coach Sanders is of course in "I told you so" mode, which he deserves.  So far.

Ya didn't want to switch the channel because there would be a score. Might be the worst display of defense from 2 teams that I've seen in quite some time

I was pretty excited about Colorado and what they did. A great sports story…or so I thought. 

But I guess- based on the stuff out there today- it’s a racial story.  

My interest level now zero.   Sad.

Color me mildly surprised that Colorado looked somewhat competent.

What is racial about it?

nothing and thats really the point

I dont know if Sanders has said anything but a columnist has made several alligations

its a shame because what I saw on the field was an inspired football team being led by an apparently good coach

Eh, I'd slow my roll there.  The Buffs finally looked to NOT be completely inept, but that's a far cry from winning NCs. Still, I liked what I saw and they were fun to watch.  I've always been a fan of Primetime and will continue to be one.

I'm definitely not writing him off. I think it's far more likely he wins big there than not. He'll improve them A TON over the course of this year and he'll have his son at QB and Travis Hunter again next year. If he hits the portal hard again in the off-season and brings in some studs in the '24 class they'll be locked and loaded and ready to make a run in 2024 in a B12 that Texas & OU aren't going to be in. He could legit run shit in the B12 starting as early as next year.

It’s out there if anyone actually cares.  Dumb AF if you ask me. 


“We’re doing things that have never been done, and that makes people uncomfortable,” Sanders said. “When you see a confident Black man sitting up here talking his talk, walking his walk, coaching 75% African Americans in the locker room, that’s kind of threatening. Oh, they don’t like that.”

I think he's kinda right though. But I will say it's an obvious over-generalization. I think most people in general just don't like people talking shit and being confident to the point of cocky- regardless of color. I tend to not mind it- provided you can actually back it up. Deion has always been extremely confident af to the point of even being cocky when he was a player- and he was always able to back it up. Part of what made him so all-time great.

Yeah I agree, that's always been his brand, and it doesn't bother me.

Although it does seem odd and somewhat insulting that he's acting like he's the first black coach in college football history. Right now, he hasn't even accomplished as much as Kevin Sumlin or Charlie Strong, much less a legend like Eddie Robinson.
