  1. It blows my mind that Bernie still bothers with this horseshit. He's too good for us.
  2. Fuckin' spoiler that shit, dude
  3. So it's just a "I came up in this and you didn't!" thing, not the prince thing. I am DEFINITELY not SWAC.
  4. Would be interesting for you to explain what you mean by this. I think the "SWAC people" who are angry with Deion about this is relatively low. It's not that much different than people getting mad at Local HS Star for going out-of-state instead of to Hometown U. There's really not any need to do the thing you're obviously doing here.
  5. Eddie Robinson Jr said "he (Sanders) ain't SWAC, I'm SWAC". Eddie Robinson Sr is THE legend. Coached from WWII to the late 90s at Grambling. It's a club and Deion was an outsider, simple as that. Robinson Jr is a prince in a small, insular kingdom. He's essentially talking street cred and Sanders is playing an entirely different game, and it hurts Jr's feelings. (Also, Jr lost on the field, which doesn't help.) Robinson explains it here (skip to a minute in to avoid promos) There's a push/pull in terms of how you feel as an HBCU community member. On the one hand, you are proud of what it is and you think it's good enough as it is. But on the other hand, you see where it maybe COULD go and how it is failing in certain ways. So do you admit the need for change and growth and jeopardize your pride? Or do you reject change and growth in favor of maintaining your pride? [edit]
  6. Yes, but for two huge reasons: 1 - Deion earned the come-up through a ridiculously successful effort Eddie George is another ex-NFL star who went to coach an HBCU. His overall record in two years is 9-13. Sanders went 15-5 his first two years (27-5 overall). (Both their schools were ~.300 the year before each arrived) Deion won on the field. Deion reinvested HEAVILY in his school and community. Deion brought massive attention to JSU and, of course, himself. George hasn't won, and if George has reinvested heavily in his school and community, we the general public have no idea. And all that hype isn't an accident, it takes intelligence and skill, and it actually does matter a hell of a lot. I guarantee you that TState's players would like all the attention and money coming to JSU's kids. And George is in Nashville. Just imagine Primetime Neon Deion selling Nashville. At Titans games and such. 2 - His ceiling is way higher than JSU's (or any other HBCU's) in relative terms There is only so high any HBCU is going to climb, no matter who the coach is or how many times they win the SWAC (or OVC in George's case). Looking at it from the outside (in racial and demographic terms) I don't see what else Sanders could have accomplished for JSU/HBCUs. Him leaving sucks specifically because he did so much. Overall, I would love for JSU to stay on the best possible terms with him, because it's best for them. Keep the train rolling as much as possible.
  7. Needs to be a mutual cease fire between any pissed off people in the Sanders camp and any pissed off people in the JSU camp. Just keep pumping the "we love each other!" narrative and move on down the damn road. That YT video starts off saying that if JSU wasn't so "shady" that Deion wouldn't have left. That's bullshit. It's like a divorce. It can go down clean or it can go nasty, but it's going to go down. This kind of bullshit drama hurts everyone involved.
  8. Two corches who made Heisman-winning QBs into what they are. Stupid sips
  9. Very eager to see this extremely large human continue to improve and hopefully dominate.
  10. This is why Emmitt is my favorite Cowboy. He bumped me from behind at Cowboy Cafe back in the day. When I turned to say something smart, I looked down and it was Emmitt. I couldn't say shit. I smiled, he smiled and apologized. Then bought me a replacement. All right, hoss, let's throttle back on talking shit about 22.
  11. Looks like this guy instead?
  12. Money and attention. Hey, it's better than nothing!
  13. It's a message board. Does anyone under 35 even know what a message board is?
  14. I only want coaches whose entrance song is "Chattahoochee". I will accept "Friends in Low Places" in a pinch.
  15. "No idea" is too strong. I don't want my HC to have to get granular with coordinators during the game. An ideal situation is that the defensive staff runs the defense, the offensive staff runs the offense, and the HC sets larger expectations, manages the game (clock, refs, etc...), runs the staff leaders (DC/OC), and acts as a general sideline cheerleader on occasion.
  16. Probably some hard feelings if you try to come back. Like dramatically announcing to the wife that you're going to find a new woman then crawling back home two weeks later. "Baby I realized I never knew what I had after all!!"
  17. Yeah, that's actually a positive as far as I'm concerned. In the video of him talking to his players and staff about leaving, he tells his OC to make sure that a certain player gets a touch in the final game. He doesn't gameplan it, he doesn't even pretend to give a shit about calling plays. VERY clear about the delegation of responsibilities. I don't imagine Sanders is a guy who you have to worry about micromanaging you as long as you're getting results. Give him a DC who pitches shutouts and Prime probably couldn't even tell you what the schemes and alignments were that made it happen. He's just smiling, clapping, coaching the guys in a general/discipline/expectations sense, winning over boosters and recruits, and making sure all the checks are lined up. And I doubt he has a lot of time for coaches/staff who aren't getting results. "We gon' hug and kiss and say goodbye."
  18. What? I'm not talking theology, I'm talking Deion Sanders. Have you watched any speech from him at all?
  19. God wanted Deion to bring change to JSU and he did, so now God calls him to bring change to Colorado. And in a few years... That's the fun thing about god's will... it's whatever you want it to be!
  20. More of Sanders' exit meeting with his players at JSU. A lot of guys thanking him for giving them second chances and helping them grown up. This all right before he's about to get on a plane to leave. If I was a Colorado fan I wouldn't be worried about the locker room. Kid: "I'm from the media team..." Deion: "I ain't ever seen you before in my life." lol damn
  21. "Not true I am not in the portal" lol WHOOOP(s)!
  22. Reminds me of the 0-60 war that manufacturers have been in for a while. After about 4 seconds, what are we even really doing? 800 HP... why? I feel like my face is coming off of my body and I'm going to kill people in this thing. "We got Hattori Hanzo out of retirement and paid him $800k to make the straight razors we use in the barbershop corner. The strops they use are made from the hides Wagyu cattle fed nothing but sake and organic grains. Stop eyeing the Papa John's pizza boxes and pay attention!"
