  1. I feel so bad for him. I think he is a terrific person. I hope good things happen for him.
  2. I have no problem whatsoever with people coming here and advocating for their school. We have many great, long-time posters who root for OSU, theOSU, UCLA, Iowa State, etc. However, I don't recall any of those good people like @'stache coming here to inform us that we're all racists, or telling posters like @NoName to fuck off for sharing relevant and informative charts. I don't see that as advocating for his school. I see that as bad posting.
  3. @NoName does a great job of sharing factual information that is actually helpful. He's not just posting to somehow insult you. Jeez. I have an honest question for you. Since so many people here seem to make you angry, wouldn't you enjoy your time more posting on a University of Colorado fan forum?
  4. Good points. Time will tell, for sure, but we've never seen a start like this. The fact that they even have top-rated recruits visiting them shows how much impact Deion has made in a very short time.
  5. Well, we will be crazy busy, but it would be fun to meet up.
  6. LOL, good catch. We need a proofer, if you are looking.
  7. So much fraud involved w big-time athletics. So many of the "student athletes" have nothing whatsoever to do with education and are really employees.
  8. You are welcome. Lived in Manhattan for 20 years (including Upper West Side) and now going back often cause younger daughter is living there. Be back at Thanksgiving. Can never get enough of it.
  9. Hey, UpperWestside, have you had the burger and fries at Hi-Life at Amsterdam and 83rd Street? They serve the fries in an upright metal cone. They are awesome with mayo and you can watch football at the bar. Also, yeah, Parm at 71st and Columbus is a technically a chain, but it's freaking amazing.
  10. A D1 college player who didn't care about getting his degree? Didn't he understand that the FSU athletic department cared more about his education than wins and generating revenue? That is shocking and undermines a really reputable system!
  11. That is partially true and relevant, for sure. But he has already changed the way people will construct a college team forever. And yes, he is polarizing. People who are trailblazers are ALWAYS polarizing because they threaten the unimaginative morons who hide behind the conventional wisdom. He took lots of crap from the HBUC coaches and is starting to now from the D1 ones for exposing them for the (mostly) frauds that they are who are in cahoots with the AD's to rob the fanbases.
  12. Got exposed, lol? How about got exposure? I love Deion. He is a master promoter. Remember how some of you made fun of me for saying he knows how to merchandise his brand? Last weekend, he ratchets up the media over some rando CS coach comment and sells $1.5 MILLION of his sunglasses the very next day! This is way bigger than football now. The Deion factor means it isn't about wins, anymore. Stars and performers are now attending Colorado games. It's become the cool thing to be, kinda like USC during their reign under Pete Carroll. People attending the game and on the sidelines last Saturday night. We are talking about Colorado vs Colorado State. Kawhi Leonard Key Glock Master P Lil Wayne The Rock Gronk Shannon Sharpe Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Rap star Offset Rap star Cordae Pat McAfee Desmond Howard Here's a question: Where do you think today's top recruits are going to want to play?
  13. Fair point. He has played it brilliantly so far. His next move will have to be really carefully considered. So many upgrades don't work out for various reasons.
  14. I think it's a good location for him. Smaller market, lower expectations, T Boone can open up the checkbook, and it matches Deion's country vibe. I bet he will be able to choose any location he wants for his next jump, but it's a thought.
  15. Hey, @'stache, I know you don't like Deion's style, but he is in his ascension stage, while your coach and the OSU program is plummeting into the abyss. Do you think a coaching change is in order?
  16. I'm reposting this from the Quinn Ewers thread. In the last few years, I have been fortunate to spend time w some amazing athletes. It's been a great opportunity to learn that they are pretty much normal folks like everyone else. They have fears, need help, etc, and do understand how lucky they are. I always think about the former athletes who weren't able to get to the league and how they got forgotten about, especially when they stop being someone's meal ticket. Along w Quinn Ewers, I got to hang w Cedric Baxter for three hours last week. He's trimmer than I thought he would be. He is a very sweet young man. Again, humble, smart and very approachable. I spoke to him at length and learned all about him. He told me about being originally committed to Florida State, which was his dream, but how when Coach Choice came to Texas, it was a done deal. He also wanted to leave the state and see more of the world, but he eventually would like to play for the Dolphins. He is also quite interested in fashion and has even created his own brand! You can follow him at @c4era on Insta. Check out his logo, which is pretty fun. We talked about how much we both liked Jahmyr Gibbs, who is a product of Choice. I told him I can't wait to watch him on Sundays. I told him I knew we would beat Bama when he got the start, cause we weren't playing scared. He said coming here early gave him the jump on learning the system and he appreciated the trust the coaches have in him. He said his injury is nothing to worry about. I also met his family. They were wonderful and are very protective of him. It made me realize how young he really is, as I think he said he came here when he was 17! I told them he is going to do great things in football or otherwise, and they appreciated it. I encouraged him to pursue the fashion world, since technology allows people to create successfully their own brand now. He also expressed to me about how much the win over Bama meant to Quinn in a really powerful way. Cedric w a familiar face in the background. I must have been standing on a podium. As you can see, I am no stranger to the glory that is Megastuff Oreos. They are my favorite, or maybe the ones dipped in chocolate. Yeah, those are even better. I also like Saloman trail runners. Allbirds suck. Don't buy them. On Cloudmonsters are also amazing when conquering urban landscapes. Rocking his logo. Quinn Ewers is a unique talent and a great person. Just chillin'. Best day ever. Anyway, thanks for indulging me.
  17. West Point is THE best place to watch a college football game in the US, hands down. No better place to be on a Saturday in the fall.
  18. Says the poster who celebrates the coach who threw the bitchiest, drama-queen meltdown of all time.
