Deion Sanders and Colorado

[Snapolit1]

The ways he runs his mouth, he's an easy guy to root against. But a lot of his message is positive. Wish he would tone the volume down a few notches.

I hope he doesn't. He's authentic and I wouldn't want him to be a toned down version of himself. And look, he got humiliated, he owned it, and he was complementary towards the other team and their coach who had dissed him.

I think he sometimes fans the winds of racial controversy unnecessarily. Everytime a reporter questions him or challenges him, it doesn't need to be a racial matter. Too many times I've seen go out of his way to be divisive. He's entitled to his own opinions of course.

I haven't seen that but I'll take you at your word and if that's the case I agree, I think or at least hope we are at the point where a black coach can succeed without it having to be about race.

The only thing that I don't like about Prime is how he blew out all the old players at Colorado. Call me old school, but that's not really fair to amateur student athletes.

As far as what he's done with the new players, he is an exhilarating and life changing positive.

Next week is the next big test. If they beat USC they probably jump back into top 25 and are relevant for the season lose it and it will be a long season for them

As for him being loud that is part of his brand and people love and/or hate him for it but it is his brand

Hard to fault him, he obviously was brought in to revamp the football program and he took advantage of the opportunities available.

He actually only told about 25 of the players they would not be a fit for the team, the others all decided to leave. There are a number of players who stayed and are playing. He even has one of the walkon players who stayed featured in his Almond Commercial so they get some NIL money as a reward for working hard and not quiting.

His style may be uncomfortable for some, but he has given a fan base some hope and made Colorado football relevant for the first time in 20 years.

Goal this year is to get to a bowl game.
