Deion to Nebraska done deal.....

[doublewing]

You got me. I’m happy to be wrong after seeing his antics at CU.

Yeah but still has scoreboard on us. I really hope we beat their ass

There is no way we should lose to Colorado unless Raiola goes into Jeff Sims mode.

I still kind of worry about that. He won't go full Jeff Sims but any FR QB in his first big game may have some FR QB mistakes.

I think the defense will help out as much as they can to make it a W.

I expect Raiola to have some poor moments, but can anyone be as bad as Sims was against Colorado last year? We have better lines up front and the crowd should be hostile. Hopefully it translates into an ass raping, but a win by one point is good enough. We just can’t lose that game.

No but their offense will put up some points. Our defense isn’t elite. It’s good. But they have some playmakers

Yes. Jeff Sims against Maryland was worse

(He always was). I’m still amazed how many people bought his bullshit.

Frankly I'm not

TBF Deion had a lot of serious football people saying he was a legit coach, hard-ass, grinder, disciplinarian. I know Urban Meyer was one who was dead serious in saying Deion was going to be a great CFB coach. There were 5-6 others at the time too.

Looking back, I think it's obvious that those coaches all fell for Deion's bullshit. ie they listened to his words and didn't actually examine what he actually did at JSU.

I wonder if we'll ever find out if Turd interviewed Deion. IIRC there was a plane that went from Lincoln to Jackson, MS around the time Turd was doing all his private flights.

 

[Hedley Lamarr]

Man I'd feel like less of a man if I would of posted support for Deion on this thread from last year

 

[Jim14510]

I've been wrong about lots of things everything in my life but I can't imagine anything more embarrassing than some of you fellas who were excited about snake oil sales Deion "7 toes" Sanders being the next head man at Nebraska.

FIFY

Still amazed that he dropped to snaps and couldn't fall on either one. Just amazing.

I get that but I was implying our qbs on the roster this year.

This made me lol

True, but what someone says publicly is hardly indicative of their true feelings. I’d be curious what was said behind closed doors. You simply don’t hear criticism from those types of people in the public domain.

Correct. Don’t buy all the excuse making in this and any other thread. Everyone acting like they are the 85 bears. It’s sad

I'm saying that people like Urban Meyer fell for the BS that Deion was giving him when they talked off camera. He said he'd talked to Deion while he was at JSU and learned his coaching philosophies. So Urban was proclaiming that Deion was going to be a hardnosed disciplinarian coach bc that's the shit that Deion always talks about (off camera and on).

Urban fell for the BS.

In Urbans defense, if he had come out and said that Deion is a dumbshit then Urban probably would have been fired

Looks like I didn't participate in this thread the first time around. This would have been just as I was joining this board.

But I will admit for about 5 minutes when it looked like we were destined for Jeff Monkenn or some other small name I can't even remeber, I thought "What the heck. Let's take a flyer on Sanders and see what happens. Maybe he will bring in some big names and get this turned around." Shortly after, Rhule – my No. 1 choice all along – came back into play and I was off the Sanders bandwagon before my seat got warm.

Knowing what I know now, I'd take Monkenn or pretty much anyone else over Sanders, as I believe he is truly a program wrecker that will be a disaster for Colorodo in the short and medium term.
