This nikka flashed the Rolli in his face

That's why Shadeur is staying another year. Breh be tearing up Louis stores, has a Maybach as a weekend car and diamonds everywhere. No need to rush going to the NFL.

That's what I'm talkin' about CU!

Why is that funny?

If he makes millions of dollars a year while being successful and doing what he loves to do, then why would he move to a less fun, more stressful atmosphere where he has less control over the team and players aren't going to listen to him half as much? I mean fukk, even just the chance to influence young people could alone be enough to stay in the college game.

So many great college coaches were sitting on literal dream jobs, then fukked it up by chasing that pro bag only to get fired within a few years. It's not the best way to pursue life satisfaction.

Truth.

Prime's personality works well with younger players. NFL vets with 9-figure contracts don't respond to the same shyt and building an NFL team requires so many moving parts to work (salary cap, GM, ownership, drafting/scouting etc). He could be a good NFL coach but still struggle because of things he can't control.

College coaches control everything.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

And he can do it.

Folks rock with Prime in a certain way that very few can. Fact that we’ve seen him in the trenches, play on an elite level and win — and look fly doing it is part of the vetting process that can’t be quantified.

These coaches are so used to making the rules, keeping a good ol boys network and style of operating and Prime has shown that it doesn’t have to be that way. And the next brehs in the pipeline don’t have to act like clones of him either. Just keep the formula consistent.

Yup.

The average Black mom & dad with an elite recruit child....who would you rather coach and help your 17-year old Black teenage son: Prime or Dabo?

Saban got juice because of all those rings but when some good ol boy coach comes into your living room and then when Prime steps to you....shyt hits different.

Coach Prime said it last week, BELIEVE. You clearly ain’t get the memo. If Shedeur and Travis keep up their level of play they have a chance to be competitive all season and maybe win a game or two that they aren’t supposed to win (like the TCU game)

This the WYSIATI fallacy. We tend to jump to conclusions based on tiny sample sizes ("Keep up their level of play") when in reality we have other ways to predict the future than just relying on those two games. You can look at their schedule and see how hard it is, you can look at their line and see how thin it is, you can look at how much they rely on a few key players (Sanders having 100 passing plays through two games, Hunter playing like 300 snaps)

I think they have another couple upsets in them, but they're also gonna lose one or two winnable games. 8-4 going into bowl season is an fair prediction and even 7-5 would be a successful season considering where they came from and who they're playing.

next week is gonna be the last week they face a team with a bad qb.

every team from then on out has a better than average to good qb. usc has a great one.

they should win next week and i didn't see anything special from oregon tonight, though i think that'll be a tough game since they're playing up in eugene and oregon has a decent team, but colorado isn't better than usc by any stretch and utah and oregon st are gonna be tough, physical games. wash and wash st are gonna be track meets and i haven't really watched ucla or cal enough yet to get a feel for those teams but after next week it's gonna get a little tougher.

We coming!!!

Prime keeps proving em wrong and making folks mad with every win. They hate it so much that a guy like Deion has it so easy just being himself, dude can go into a recruit's home in the country because of name value alone. I'm all for breaking that good ole boy system, and he got the swag to boot. Prime help create the blueprint of what the modern athlete is/wants to be anyway, keep it going.

 

[cartierhoe]

Notice how Klatt ALWAYS points out how cerebral and intelligent Deion/Shedeur/Travis are too. He knows the media gon be like "look at these ath-o-leets."

Gus N Klatt the best announcing team in sports right now????

Klatt loving this, just heard him on a pod recently giving all of them credit, intelligence, preparation, etc.

I hear you but here’s the thing. Colorado is getting better so when Colorado starts meeting these upper echelon teams, they’re going to be much different than early in the season. Utah and Oregon aren’t looking like the guaranteed losses folks were yapping about all offseason. I watched USC get destroyed by Utah last season. These young boys are dawgs. They were supposed to get ran all over yesterday and now it’s something else.

God damn, everybody showed up for this game

Whoever guarantees me playing time

That lie has been told to college kids forever. Them coaches will red shirt or bench yo ass if better talent show. Ain’t no guarantees in college ball.
