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

[lee_carvallo_12]

Dumbest move he made was firing Sean Lewis midseason last year. Quick passing game is about all they can do. They say they want to run it, but I have a hard time believing that when your 4 RBs all transfer out, don't think they believed that either. I question any HC that decides to go with Shurmur over Sean Lewis.

I’d take Sean Lewis on our staff tomorrow. Incredible offensive coach. Same goes for Bill O’Boyle as OL coach, who Prime also ran off.

Alright so...apparently a Husker fan podcast called Big Red Junkies called Deion a fucking bitch. This caused a CU media reporter to call UNL and complain and it's got the Prime cult to get their panties in a bunch.

Expect a lot of retarded interactions on social media just like last year when Deion "took it personal"

Clip from 1620 about it:


Big Red Junkies podcast in question:

Podcast calls Prime a bitch so a CU media reaches out to UNL regarding that? That’s a bitch move by the CU media member.

 

[Poor_and_Stupid]

It would seem not only Prime is soft since he banned a media member, but apparently some members of their media are soft if they can’t handle a little trash talk from a damned fan podcast. The whole ordeal with their special teams coach just adds more fuel to the speculation of extreme dysfunction within the program. It almost seems to be worse than the problems we had with frost (more than likely it’s just because Prime is front and center of national media so it’s more noticeable). After seeing what dysfunction looks like in a program, thanks frost, it’s easier to see in other programs. A

All these problems are probably true, but we will still lose because Nebraska.

Don’t know if this is the right place to post this but......

Talked to a buddy of mine who is close with a family who’s son plays for the Buffs. He said the mother almost started crying and said that the program is an absolute mess and dysfunctional. The walls are closing in and they expect Prime to be out after this year if he isn’t asked to leave before. Just thought I would pass it along.

Not surprised. There are definitely two types of players at Colorado, those in with Sanders and all the rest. All the rest are expendable players that Sanders doesn't care about and likely doesn't even know.

 

[Ripping Lips]

Even Blo wasn’t that big of a prick with the media even though he did hate a few of them. Then again, cancel culture is a new norm today.

I would say that this is the perfect place to post it.

Sounds like SI might be doing some digging.

I remember when this kid was a freshman. He was about 5'5" and 130 pounds. Quietly cocky. He would say he was going to start as a sophomore. I laughed and told him he was going to have to get a lot bigger. 5'11" 215 now. He got the last laugh.

Media already building up excuses for Colorado to lose to NDSU.

Sanders' first season didn't have any FCS matchups, so at least things got easier this time around in some sense. In truth, though, NDSU is a better opponent than most of the ACC and much of the Big Ten's bottom half. And possibly Vanderbilt. The Bison are not some FCS pushover in any sense.


NDSU is a tough FCS team, but not better than any B1G or ACC team.

and much of the Big Ten's bottom half.

Lmao

So NDSU is better than 9 B1G teams? Holy shit.

I know Sanders like to stay current in the media, but this spat with the Denver Post is blowing up and really painting him as a petty bully. It's pretty funny actually.

And what an incredibly stupid time to do it. Week 0 starts tomorrow, all most all preseason stuff is done, tons of college football shows this week with very few games to talk about, this is going to be discussed over and over and over and he's going to look like the bad guy almost every time. He's going to look thin skinned and petty and it will be talked about a whole lot. Really makes him look weak scared and unsure of what he is doing. no exactly what a HC should look like less than a week before the season.

I think it is pretty telling that the ESPN article about this reads really poorly. They don’t give Deion an ounce of cover which speaks to how bad of a look this was.

During the exchange, Keeler asked multiple times if he could ask a football question and Sanders declined before moving on to a reporter who asked about his birthday plans. The reporter before Keeler at the news conference asked Sanders, "How important is it for everyone to have Aflac as part of their life?" (Sanders is a paid spokesperson for the insurance company.)
In his column after the news conference, Keeler described Sanders as "A confident man who suddenly looked and acted and sounded ... afraid."

According to the Post, Sanders has unique language in his contract that says he is required to speak only with "mutually agreed upon media."

In a social media post, Denver Post sports editor Matt Schubert said, "It's well within anyone's right to not take questions from [Denver Post sports reporters and columnists]. The reasons listed here by CU, however, are entirely subjective. It would be more accurate to say, 'We don't like Sean Keeler's critiques of our program.'"

When asked for clarification by the Post, a Colorado sports information staffer told the newspaper "Keeler had not violated any specific media policies."

Sanders has a history as a coach of using his influence to ban reporters from asking questions about his program. In 2021, a Mississippi Clarion Ledger reporter was barred from covering Jackson State, where Sanders was coach, at the Southwestern Athletic Conference media day, a day after the Clarion Ledger published a story related to a court filing about an incoming recruit who had been charged with assaulting a woman.

Colorado bans reporter from questioning Sanders

Colorado has banned Denver Post columnist Sean Keeler from asking questions of football coach Deion Sanders or other members of the school's football program, the school confirmed.

I have not watched these dumb social media spots by these jokers. Just saw this because I saw they were talking about what city they want to get drafted to.

I wonder if they don't really care what their W-L record is this year (so long as they get their stats).

Being banned from asking questions isn't really that big of a thing any way, as Sanders rarely answers questions without going on some meaningless rant that shows his tenuous grasp of English.

I would fuckin love to see CU get it's shit rocked vs NDSU.....I just am afraid their DBs are not going to be able to cover CU's WRs. I'll be very surprised if they can.

I'm a "stars matter" type of guy and people have to understand, NDSU is getting recruits AFTER your bottom feeder B1G and SEC teams select theirs. I just don't see how NDSU is gonna have 4 DBs and 2 safeties that can cover multiple NFL WRs.

As always though, I hope I'm wrong and NDSU wins by 2 TDs.

Yeah, I'm thinking Colorado scores too fast for NDSU to even cover.
