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

Probably not but they titty fucked us last year and have all the same skill guys coming back and look at their schedule.
I think they have better talent on the lines this year. BUT I think the coaching will be worse. Shumur and their new o-line coach aren’t better than Lewis and O’Boyle and they have a brand new DC. I didn’t think Kelly was great but I’m sure he helped keep the D and team together.

They're also in a new conference, which means everyone they play is a new gameplan whereas other teams can focus on them as the new team.

Edit: not everyone is new, since Arizona, Utah, etc. all joined with them.
 
Last year, in the beginning, that team was riding on a wave of confidence that was born of gaining sudden attention and popularity then combined that with incredibly lucky early results. But, once the fraud was exposed things went downhill quickly.

They might have some fans outside the locker room that are still fooled, but I guarantee you that doubt has set in inside the locker room. There will be a few of them that will still walk around with the false bravado but they won't be able to keep the farce going as long this year. I'm betting a bunch of Prime's own players already realize the situation. (We saw it here with Frost too)

They are gonna fold like a cheap suit just like we used to under Scotty Golden Tee Margarita Machine Frost.

True, completely forgot about that. Although I do think the Big XII is easier than what the PAC-12 was last year

Not a single sure win on that schedule. Only true lookahead is week 1 against a team that will punch them in the face

Their week 1 opponent is looking at CU on the calendar like the Steve Buscemi character in Billy Madison look at his wall of revenge.

That's gonna be a tough game for the Primes.

Have you forgotten that The Simulation™ exists?
 
I love how this is framed as Deion doing something good when it's his fault the behavior of his team was that bad in the first place


Sanders was on the receiving end of an email from a professor in regards to players from the team, and it wasn't pretty.
"This semester has been extremely challenging for me as a professor," said Sanders, who was reading the email aloud to the team. "I have never felt so disrespected in my ten years of teaching. Students do not follow even minimally and it slows down my class so much. They make it clear that they don't want to be here and have very little personal responsibility..."
The email went on to express to Sanders that the athletes in that class in particular "do not bring anything to the table", ruin the class for other students, and even suggested that they take in-person classes as opposed to online classes.
Sanders went on to show emails about specific individuals and would then ask a staffer if that player had an NFL Draft grade, to which the staffer replied that they didn't each and every one. Sanders then had a harsh message to the team after he was done reading the emails.
"You gonna get something out of this," Sanders told the team. "You gonna be a man or you're going to be a great football player. Since you choose not to be a great football player, we gotta make you a man."
Later in the video, Sanders spoke candidly about his feelings regarding the situation.
"I'm a little frustrated, I'm a little angry right now because we in this new collective in NIL state of mind...We got youngsters that's all in on one side of the game. 90% or 95% of your roster ain't going pro. So, coaches we got to emphasize education, we got to emphasize life, we got to emphasize the next step the next elevation if it don't work in the game."

Whoever wrote that article could’ve paid a bit more attention in class too. The kids are so disruptive that the professor went as far as suggesting that they take in person classes instead of online?

Also I have to laugh at the idea that Deion is doing kids a favor by telling them that they can either be a football player or a man when they leave. Here’s a thought… how about both?
