And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

[HerbRedman]

OK... So I did it. I re-watched the first half like a sick fuck. I am surprised how much of the game I blocked out and forgot. I think it was a defense mechanism from brain damage.

I forgot how much the announcers were harping on how awful Sims was and how utterly shocked they were than he wasn't benched and replaced in the 2nd quarter. Rightly so.

It's just unreal to me how he played with 0 awareness. The snap that he signaled directly into the motion man. The interception he threw directly to a waiting defender in the 2nd quarter. Not staying in bounds on 3rd and long, running out of bounds to stop the clock. CU gets the ball back with 49 secs left and later scores 3 before the half. Taking multiple unnecessary sacks instead of getting rid of the football. No pocket presence. Just a 0 for football IQ on top of his other mental limitations. Dumbstruck.

My first reaction after the game was: I actually thought that Sims was so bad that the national media was going to be like "there's an asterisk on this win vs Nebraska"... but the media in reality just went right to: "Colorado is the best team in CFB history!" There were no CFB analysts out there going "their QB literally handed them the game!" and I thought that was weird.

You just re-watched the game. That wasn't a normal 'off day' for a QB. That looked like a guy who was possessed by an evil spirit or something. That was so bad.

I certainly don't remember a game where we faced a QB who was that bad. Joe Bauserman at Ohio St comes to mind but he wasn't nearly as bad as Sims.

Do you think most of the pundits actually watch a lot of games?

 

[HerbRedman]

Also really frustrating how many missed sack opportunities we had on Shadouche. I mean, they sacked him 7 times and it could've been 15. Need to do a better job wrapping him up when we get the chance next week.

I'm gonna load up Nebraska -6.5 vs CU. I'll wait a half to see that Dylan is at least competent vs UTEP then I'm gonna load up on the Skers. That's how confident I am in that game.

You can say that I'm a NU homer etc....but I just don't think it's a good matchup for Colorado. I don't think it was a good matchup for them last year, as you just saw on video. They were extremely fortunate a few things went their way last year. Kudos to them for taking advantage of it. I just don't see that repeating this year. I think the sharps will be all over that -6.5. Depending on how each team looks in week 1 of course.

I mean 10m people watched that game. But point taken.

You had the knob suckers like Keyshawn and SAS etc. But I was surprised one guy wasn't like "I watched this game, I'm not that impressed"

I think they were all afraid of Deion keeping receipts

And that’s exactly how cu fans saw it - CU completely dominated in all 3 phases. Just outplayed and out executed us. Fuck me.

Sims was amazing. Still can't get over that he just plain dropped two snaps and couldn't recover the ball on either one, just amazing.

My concern is if they struggle with NDSU and the line gets to 10.

I rewatched it last night and our defense played lights out for 3 qtrs. They were put in a shitty spot because of 3 turnovers and that was game. I expect Colorado to hit a couple big plays on us, but I hope we can play an Cockeye ball control game and just wear their faggot asses out.

Fuck CU. I hate that team more than any rival we've ever had.

Yeah, it'll be interesting. Remember, Vegas had a beat on last years NU-CU game. When the avg CFB public thought the spread should be CU -21....Vegas set it at CU -2.0 line. They were dead on, just had no way to factor in the Sims disasterclass.

I got CU winning by 21 vs NDSU. NU winning by 24 vs UTEP. In that case, I actually think the line stays where it is until kickoff.

But you're right: if CU wins by 7 or less, watch that baby inflate. It might end up at NU -14.0. It can't get too high though, mainly bc it's a rivalry game & rivalry games are usually closer score-wise.

Bad poster I am. That was a Sanders quote from the linked article. He was responding to Paul Finebaum while also saying he wouldn't respond.

BTW one thing Deion is absolutely GREAT at, it's knowing when he's going to lose in a fight. He retreats. He knows he can't beat Finebaum in this so he backs down.

Case in point: Oregon week last year. Prime had so much bravado going 3-0 but it was very clear that at 8:01am on Monday that game week he knew the Ducks were going to assrape them to a level never seen before (and he was right). Deion talked about Oregon & Lanning that week like he was a HS kid talking to his prom date's father.

When Deion has the upper hand: talk endless shit about your opponent.
When Deion knows he's fucked: "We have a ton of respect for_____. He's great at what he does. And we don't talk much about other people at this program anyway."


On that note, it'll be interesting to see if Deion says anything about Rhule during game week this year. That's how you can tell if Deion knows he's gonna lose.

 

[HughJanus]

Oddly enough I have zero nervousness about the CU-NU game. I think NU will win by 3 TDs.

I just think that after CU loses to NU they will piece together a 6-6 or 7-5 season. It will be hailed as a "masterclass" of coaching by Deion for keeping his team together after the devastating early season loss to NU.

Deion takes his bows and claims
"mission accomplished" for bringing CU back to 'relevance' and then he retires for health reasons and gets a $3m-4m/yr broadcasting job next season. Then 60% of the CU roster hits the portal and CU will be locked in the 1-11 to 3-9 range for the next 5-7 years. When asked about this in the media, Deion will say "that's how hard it is to win there - this is evidence of me being an amazing HC" and he'll forever refer to his 7-5 season at CU like it was the Patriots' 16-0. No media will ever challenge him in this assertion and Deion will forever be branded as a revolutionary, successful coach who shook up CFB. The tell-alls will be out however exposing Deion as a corrosive, bad HC. Samders's tenure at CU will forever be a rorschach test: some forever see him as great, others see him as the fraudulent HC he was.

There, now you've seen the future.

I'll have what he's having.

Not saying this is a bad take but I want to beat CU by 3+ TDs

I actually am highest on CU of anyone on this board. I picked them to go 7-5. I think CU will not fall apart this year and they're better than 99% of what Husker fans think they are.

I just think this is a bad matchup for CU. On the road vs a good team (NU). Plus it's against a DC (Tony White) that absolutely had their number last year.

I personally think White's had this game circled on his calendar all year like Steve Buscemi in Billy Madison. And that's not good for Mr Shedeur.

I’ve been with herb on this. Elite QB play and lots of skill players. They’ll win 6+. Jimmy’s and Joe’s not X’s and O’s, like Switzer said.
