I had to stop reading the article because the writing is so poor. Facts or ideas aside, that is the writing of a mid-level 9th grader. Embarrassing.

Yep, kid clearly likes that opportunity. Gotta hope mama wins out along with being part of a 3 Amigos class.

THIS AIN'T LAST CHANCE U! (unless your dad is famous and rich, in which case it is)

OK Colorado, maybe you're selling out your season tickets and achieving astonishing (for you) levels of attention and interest, but is it CLASSY!?

Twitter should be illegal

So do you leave all the other first-stringers in during a blowout to get QB2 the time? You leave them in and risk injury to them for the rewards of MAYBE adding a little bit to a QB2 you might not even really need this year? There are reasons coaches don't do this, and it's not just to prevent hurt feelings.

Last Crusade over Raiders? You chose... poorly.

I am far more interested in "here's what the coaches are doing/thinking about the roster" than I am in "here's what I think about the roster".

Clearly

I still fall for it every time. "Oh, awesome! Maybe some video breakdown or commentary on how he fits into the rotation/scheme. Maybe comparisons to past players or matchups against future opponents!" *same 50 titty gifs*

He will definitely have to sacrifice his completion % and TD:INT ratio to save his own literal spine.

I think our having Quinn and Arch in hand is blinding some of us to this very obvious reality since we basically haven't had to think about it at all during portal season.

Shilo out for 6 months after shoulder surgery. Low production and coming off an injury? Maybe Sheduer will forget who he is and call the police when Shilo shows up to Deion's mansion. Ion know who you are

Urban Meyer Mack Brown Dabo Swinney Jimbo Fisher Ryan Day Brian Kelly and the list can go on and on At this level, yeah, it's pretty typical. It's not at all abnormal for a high-level CFB head coach to be a thin-skinned, petty megalomaniac. Deion is a very PUBLIC version of that, and that is the only significant distinction in my eyes. And all of those guys have either built or at least continued some impressive programs for given periods of time. Regarding roster construction, there's no track record of it because the transfer situation has changed so wildly in a short span of time and Deion himself is a unique character in terms of attention-gathering and Colorado so uniquely shitty when he arrived. This year, Colorado lost/pushed out 44 and brought in 34. Louisville 34/30. Ole Miss 22/19. Scar 25/21. Texas lost/pushed out 25 guys. It's the way of the world now all around. If Colorado is worse in '24 than in '23 with returning stars and a new batch of transfers, then we've got a data point that he sucks at building rosters this way. But as of reality right now, '23 roster >'22 roster and '24's looks better on paper than '23's. The evidence is going to come in no matter how hard anyone beats their chest predicting what will eventually happen. I, personally, don't see how it's a bad thing to push out guys you are not confident will make a difference... and major program coaches seem to agree. I read the Olson article following the guys who left/were kicked out of Colorado when Sanders arrived. Here's the finale: “My experience with Deion wasn’t one where I’m going to go bash him,” Sowell said. “There were things I agreed with that he did and things I didn’t agree with that he did. But that’s like any head coach."

Read the thread, it's hyperbolic about the classlessness of Sanders and how his programs are just minutes away from total meltdown and failure. The "no one came to their spring game" thing is just one example of absolute blindness to reality, similar to the handwringing about dumping roster bread and Twitter decorum. 28k showed up in horrible weather (and paying higher prices) to watch a 4-8 team with a massive roster churn and a coach whose dance move has showing his ass to the world for the last 30 years. That's a fantastic number for Colorado even with perfect weather. They had 1100 show up in 2022. Regarding our sanctimony and our hallowed coaching staff... Here's what I give a shit about with Jeff Banks: - Does he recruit good? - Does his unit play good? - Live boy/dead girl? - Beating his wife? Know what I don't give a fuck about? Doctor of Neighborhood and Pole Assassin And there's Sark himself and his history. - Is Colorado's program stronger today than it was before Deion took over? - Do they have a more talented roster than they had before he took over? - Are they bursting with crime and real scandal? (not fucking social media cancellation drama) - Are they better on the field today than they were before he took over? Perspective. It's not hard. This or him finding his way onto a coaching staff so he can rub Shedeur's shoulders in the NFL.

I was higher than most here on his hire by Colorado and my bet in December '22 was 4 wins in '23, 7 wins in '24, and gone by '25. God will be calling him to a new place soon. Feeling pretty good about it. Love the hire as an outsider wanting entertainment, and even if I was a Colorado fan I'd probably be grateful for some kind of show. But I'm not a Colorado fan, so whatever. Regarding Deion violating the special sanctity of College Football and being a Classless Clown... don't care.

In that case, Godspeed You ID-losing Emperor.

I don't understand how salary caps would even work. Who enforces it? The NCAA sends a letter to Lamborghini of Austin that they can't sign a guy up as a brand ambassador because he's already made too much money from his other sponsorships? The player is disqualified once his reported income from outside business deals hits a certain level? Should the NFL be doing that with Mahomes's State Farm contract?

And has been getting them constantly since before he even signed his NLI.

Keep Toia out of all on-campus elevators and we'll be good. Stairs are good for the lower body anyway.

Neo-cons who refuse to learn anything at any time in any circumstance, looking at this news.

I've asked this (more respectfully than you) of a former OU player and he said the attraction to OU is actually about how boring it is. You're there (according to him) for one thing and one thing only: Football. They win all the time and they win consistently. They put guys into the league. They're not far from home. They take it very seriously. They're very organized and professional about it, and they get results. Also, not everyone agrees that Austin is a beautiful Mecca. I countered with, "Ok, yeah... but OU sucks." That didn't seem to change his position on the issue.

If we get Bear Alexander, it's because he wants to join a great program to develop as a player and man. If we do not, he's a bag-chasing loser who will never amount to anything. Simple.

Learn something new and disturbing every day!

Big Walter White vibes on that fella, down to the Pontiac.
