I have't bought an issue of SI since 1990 or so...Swimsuit Issue used to be a lot of fun.  I have the issue with Darvin Ham under the shattered backboard vs UNC, but someone gave it to me.

Used to party with Jeter's brother-in-law down in St Thomas back then he would fly to the SI swimsuit parties in Vegas on Jeter's private jet and even wound up dating another SI model soon after.  A lot has changed since then and that was a decade ago.....

When was this?

It seemed like in the 1990s, The Sporting News was what you were subscribed to if you actually wanted to follow sports. SI was what you read to know where the hype train happened to be that month but if that was all you read you would lack the context to even understand the hype trains.

Before the 1990's.

Pre-internet, SI was the absolute best at covering sports (and a major event).  Their writing was great, and some of the most iconic photos in sports history was published.  They had their yearly previews for pro and college football, etc.   It truly was a different era.

Prime academy should tell you all you need to know about sanders. Who you are some of the time is who you are all of the time. Good luck,  buffs.

Look back at my posts before the season started.  I expected 4-5 wins and yes, it was a success vs. 2022.  But now they've got to go out and win 6+ next year.  

But thats not the trajectory. He whiffed on OC and demoted him, despite not having a suitable offensive line personnel. Its not just a massive red flag, it will make it more difficult to hire coaches in the future. And Ive seen Deion rip coaches during games. Maybe if you’re Saban you can get away with that shit, but its counterproductive for leaders to undermine their coaches.

I dont think 6 wins is in the cards next year. Big12 may not always be the premier conference, but there’s some good coaching staffs.

Yeah he was able to out talent the HBCU circuit with relative ease via name recognition.  Beating people on talent can be done in FBS but it takes some time and you have to go at it via an organic process none of which he has been trying to do.

I have a feeling next season is his last at Colorado.

I agree with what you said, but I think Lewis was actually a pretty good hire. I'm not sure it was his idea to only run the ball 4 times a half. I might be wrong, but that reeked of Deion going full Pop Warner dad and envisioning Shedeur holding a Heisman. Probably not a stretch that sanders indulged every self-obsessed fantasy imaginable. 

Twice I saw Shedeur come off the field after a bad series and snub Lewis from coaching him up. I saw it twice on television. Ignored his OC and walked to the other side of the sideline from him. A head coach allowing any player to amputate a member of his staff from the knees down like that is insane. And then you'd hear sanders dismiss the term "culture" on several occasions. Yeah, no shit, dude. You're above all that. I bet that lockerroom was a toxic shithole.

Where's the guy with the icon of a bald guy holding a pistol saying that whitey was jealous of seeing a black coach succeed? Haven't seen him around lately.

I’m pissed as hell about DeMeco Ryans too.

Hell, he’s probably not even black enough to count.

I think in a relatively short time people will be looking back and saying do you remember when Prime coached at CU?  What the fuck was that all about?  That turned out to be a crazy shit show.

I would quote myself from earlier in the thread, but I’m too lazy to dig it up.  He’s a conman.  A grifter.  Anyone who has lived in Dallas knows this.  He’s the Donald Trump of football coaches.

Jason whitlock, guy with an abdomen that looks like it's stuffed with a sack of other abdomens, had two former players tell him Sanders has a rug at his office door that says "did I say you could come in" on it. And the hall that leads to that office has a rolled out red carpet on top of the carpet. Basically, the kind of closed door community that every regular kid can relcoming.

We comin'.

Gonna be honest, I think Deion brings a lot of this shit on to himself.   Win something and then chirp.  Or maybe don’t chirp.  I think he has a lot of ingredients to be successful but I honestly can’t blame people for hating him.

I agree, but he is who he is.  I'm just along for the ride.

He can't recruit high school kids.  Haven't you heard?

Expand  

the stars and scrubs strategy really is going to be interesting to follow, because nobody else in the country or as long as i have followed recruiting has done it at all.

currently has 1 top 100 composite recruit (Seaton is #15 overall) with 2 more between 100 and 105 . then everything really drops off a cliff with the next highest recruiting being a .9160 which computes to the #230 recruit in Texas. he has some RB recruit at the bottom of the class that's a .87xx which is outside the top 650 composite players in Texas.

it's also wild as hell that he's out here totally ignoring the state of Colorado with high school recruits? signed 1 last cycle and has 0 committed this cycle even though recruits in the state top 10 are committed to P5s like Tenn, Nebraska and USC...last year there were commits going to places like Oregon and OU and Michigan too. so not like it's just a dreadful state for producing talent

also you sure seems early to be taking a victory lap about a recruiting class when 0 of them have signed yet lol
