Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Weaver was Colorado's leading WR last season, thought he was quite a bit better than Horn. Horn had one 100 yard day last year against TCU (118). We was 4th in the country in drops last season. I don't have as high of an opinion of Horn as some others do. I think he's a good WR that had a career day last week against an FCS team that had some broken coverage that he capitalized on.
Won't take much adversity for this team to absolutely collapse.
Oh I didn't realize he was their leading WR. Surprised he wasn't drafted in that case
Oh I will. I find the whole Sanders experiment fascinating. I usually follow Colorado out of hate, but the Sanders drama definitely makes it more exciting.
Can you post the text so the rest of us can masturbate to CU's pain?
Classic build 'em up and tear 'em down. Deion getting butthurt with members of the press has only accelerated the process. Oh and getting smoked by the Huskers has also thrown some accelerant on the fire. Hee heeA disturbing video is making the rounds on social media involving a current and former staffer on Colorado's football staff.
According to Athlon Sports, the leaked video involves former staff member Trevor Reilly and current graduate coach Josh Jynes engaging in a fistfight. In the video, you can hear commentary of the fight from current staff member and former NFL star Warren Sapp.
Athlon Sports' Steven Corder broke the news on Sep. 4, and it was during his interview with Reilly when the ex-staffer confirmed he got into it with Jynes. Reilly revealed that the fight took place the day Reilly resigned from his position in early August. The fight was captured by a security camera on Colorado's campus. It is unknown if the fight was ever reported to campus police or otherwise.
Another source of Athlon shared that this isn't the first time Jynes and Reilly have fought. Jynes and Reilly allegedly got into an altercation in the weightroom earlier this year.
These acts of violence have apparently trickled its way down to the players as well. Former players confirmed to Athlon that a fight broke out between offensive linemen Jordan Seaton and Savion Washington, who ultimately transferred to Syracuse.
A few days before the Seaton-Washington fight, cornerback Isreal Solomon was also allegedly involved in a scuffle with five teammates and was sucker-punched by wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. Solomon is no longer with the team.

Reilly also confirmed the violent tendencies of safety Shilo Sanders, son of head coach Deion Sanders. Shilo Sanders has allegedly been involved in two physical altercations with teammates, which has also been confirmed by a player's parent. The first fight allegedly took place during a walk-through drill, where Shilo ran full speed into another player. The second fight is alleged to have taken place during a film room study. A teammate called out Shilo's actions during a fight in the game, prompting Shilo to allegedly respond to with a punch.
An unnamed former player also told the Athlon, "There are many distractions with fights, guns, and money floating around. The environment is unlike any I've come from before."
From bullying, fighting and controversial hires like Sapp, coach Sanders has found himself and the team with issues unrelated to the game.
22 hurries, 5 sacks, 1 INT. Gonna have to have a stern talk with Tony White.
yeah, some staffer said that some random fan ran out and yelled a profanity laced racial tirade against him and then ran off while he was loading equipment on the bus. Nobody else knew anything about it. I think his name was Smollett.

A year later and the fight song doesn’t even play in the stadium after the quarterback throws a touchdown. Deion Sanders told the band they couldn’t play if his son Shedildo Sanders scores a touchdown so that the loudspeaker can play a recording of his son’s song “Perfect Timing.”Deion Sanders' style had nothing for Matt Rhule's substance
Deion Sanders as a coach, boy can he talk the talk, But the walk? The walk has been weak and that is what we saw from the Colorado Buffaloes
that's so unbelievable. changing university tradition for his son's shitty song.
Rich Eisen (Deion's good friend) scolded every school that had an opening in DEC 2022 and did not hire Deion. He didn't mention us by name but he was very cocky about how stupid those other schools were. If I had a clip I'd share it. It's probably on YT still. Also before NU CU game last year he famously said "Colorado is gonna beat Nebraska back to the homestead era."
There were a lot of takes from the coaching search that probably aged badly, or people pining for guys whose stars have since faded (Dave Aranda, anyone?), but the one take that was always transparently garbage was that Deion would have been a good hire.
