Coach Prime / Buffs Football Social Media Thread

We are getting positive coverage everywhere….just now on Squawk Box on CNBC. Tom Brady was on with Ed Bastian to announce their partnership. Brady’s tweet to Shadeur was discussed. Doesn’t hurt that one of the hosts is a Buff. What alternative world are we living in?

Sitting in the cafeteria and glanced up and on Get Up the topic is "Is Deion Sanders already the face of college football?" Next topic, "How will Colorado do over the next 4 games?" Alternate world indeed and we're here for it!

When Prime was getting attention from college GameDay for a HBCU and it was the most watched episode, what did you think you were signing up for?

Dude our tickets. To ****in bench seats. are selling for 15k after one win. There's unprecedented and then there is Prime. Please allow us to have our minds blown.

Show out in this game and the hype train will explode into the stratosphere. Lose and it may dive under the Rockies.


Quite honestly, we have not had time to adjust or prepare for this level of emotional roller coaster. We've been used to a nice even dumpster fire for years.

If Deion Sanders wins, scorched earth will become accepted strategy. That's wrong

If Sanders proves to be successful at Colorado, obliterating rosters won’t be a one-off situation. It will become the new normal.
theathletic.com theathletic.com
Think about all the players who might be at a program for two or three years and are then told to leave. To be clear, coaches have passive-aggressively run off athletes for years. “You want to stay? Fine. But you’re not playing next season. But, hey, your choice.” But it has never been done to this degree, never so publicly and brazenly. Even the spinning moral compasses of college football coaches had accepted limits. Sanders ended that.

Sanders has no limits. That was reaffirmed last week when he referenced a player’s acknowledged mental health struggles for the sake of a transfer. He complained about the NCAA’s decision to deny offensive lineman Tyler Brown’s request for a second transfer from Jackson State to Colorado, saying, “You say you really care about mental health, but when you have someone really dealing with mental health, there’s a problem.”

Reality check: There’s nothing preventing Brown from taking medication and dealing with issues, even if he’s not playing for Colorado. And as someone who has become sensitive to mental health issues and is immersed in that community, I have a question for Sanders: Was he concerned about the mental health well-being of all the players he ran off, or is this a new thing?

**** you Jeff Schultz. That's embarrassing

I believe we’ll be much better than expected, but at the end of the day we have a sample size of 1. We have no idea of the dropoff in TCU this year and if they should even be ranked.

I’m not trying to take anything away from the Buffs incredible game on Saturday, just saying that I’m a little worried about how fast the hype train is rolling right now.

We've already matched last year's record with a horned frog smack down. Bring on the hype. Prime will back it up. He's ****ing prime time for Christ's sake.
 
Dark Bohner said:
Every time I get nervous about Saturday, I just watch one of these videos of our program and I’m good.

Nebraska is ****ed.

I can appreciate the "letdown after an emotional win" angle, but unless the staff and players are each of them blowing smoke, I see that as a complete non issue. The focus and motivation is there, the environment is going to be one of the most electric in the country, and frankly, CU has better players thank Nebraska, most importantly at the QB position.

Have to stay healthy. If we do, we should be in every game we play this year. But that's always a big 'if'. Love the hype, though. It's so foreign.

Lotta folks at work that don’t follow college football but know I’m a big Buffs guy tuned into the game because everyone could catch it on Fox and wanted to see the Prime show. Can’t even tell you how many came in Tuesday and told me they are now on the Bandwagon - asking when’s the next game, what channel, etc. it’s amazing.

I recently watched the Netflix thing on Johnny Manziel and how all hell broke loose when that thing took off and the dynamics I am seeing here kinda remind me of that as this ain’t just about football. Football is just the vehicle for something else here.

I think of it more like USC when they blew up under Pete Carroll in the 2000s. People forget how bad USC was in the 90s. Then Pete comes in, recruits his ass off (totally legally in every way ;)) and it blows up in a way that exceeded football. Snoop at practice, Will Ferrell on the sideline. Granted it's in LA, so that comes with the territory, but it became a huge phenomenon. Reggie Bush was a massive star beyond football and those players were legit celebrities while dominating and winning multiple championships.

Now the difference is that Prime is an icon in his own right, which Pete was not at the time, and the catalyst for all of this. He is a singular personality in all of American sport. Also, Prime is far more virtuous than Pete ever was, so I don't foresee the scandals here that brought the Trojans down. But this has the potential to be absolutely massive.

They did a 60-Minutes segment on Petey. It would not shock me one bit if mainstream news does a sit-down special with Prime...just a matter of time at this point.

See, that's the thing. 60 minutes already did a segment on Prime a year ago when he was at Jackson. He's done things in his life multiple times that people would die for just to do once. Greatness is routine for him. So when he talks about taking this program to heights it's never been to before, dominating, showing out, the rest of us mortals have a hard time even fathoming what that looks like in his mind.

This is a good one. A little insight possibly as to why Nick Williams was so emotional at the end of the game

The Buffs are going to look across that line and not only see the assholes in red (well, white and red), but they’re also going to see every single asshole that’s ever done them wrong. The full Bobby Boucher.

Does a Buff fan prepare for a boat race, or a massacre…or both?

I have heavy action on Colorado to win by 14+.

My model indicates high probability of a blowout.
