Prime is Polarizing
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
I doubt anyone is much more excited than I am about the arrival of DS, and the changes he's going to help make to the whole athletic program. I think iot's all great and he seems a good and decent man.
But, we are all flawed, and he just did not handle his announcements to the current players properly. You're talking about young men who gave their all to CU and the football program. Tons of emotions, tons of sweat. Some them have been doing it for 4 years. This absolutely should have been a closed door meeting.
The reality is, as DS mentioned during his initial appearance, 'they' are making a documentary of this whole thing' - you could see the cameraman bent down in front of DS as he addressed the players. They filmed his 'I'm leaving' meeting at Jackson, they had to film this too.
Go Buffs!
I still have two, hope that helps.

I do note on Twitter that the snowflakes are having a meltdown over what he said to the players in the team meeting yesterday
Seeing so many reactions online that only enforce why it was the right time for Prime to take a P5 job and why Boulder is the right spot
Some really thinly veiled and deplorable **** out there rn tbh

I still think you're missing the mark here. Deion Sanders is certainly not infallible, I'll grant you that, but this is not why. As Nik mentioned earlier, the team widely took the message as a positive challenge. The players that took offense, well I think that says something....and that's a large part of the point. The rest of the point was to deliver a message to the outside world (recruits and transfers) as to what the expectation is at CU under Coach Prime. Even my my young son, who has dreams of playing at a high level and had never considered CU as a dream option, now has CU at the top of his list after listening to that very speech. Competitive players loved it.

Exactly. If people didn’t give them money they wouldn’t come here. My sister was once just sitting on Pearl street with friends and a lady came up and gave her money. (She wasn’t homeless or asking at all-just hanging out)
I walked the creek path today and saw zero homeless people. It’s really not that frightening. Summer has a lot more of them, but it’s not that frightening.

Last time I was in Boulder I jaywalked and lady that saw me do it clutched her purse. It’s madness in that city.
Edit for actual stats from 6-Jul report from local news station in MS:
153 people were killed in Jackson last year and more than 70 people have been murdered in 2022. People are being killed at a higher rate per-capita in the Capital City than any other major city in the United States. A recent CBS News special report found the city only has eight homicide detectives.
Those of us that have stuck around want to win and understand it is a process. it is not just about w/l next year. Who are we recruiting, who is coming here, who is leaving here, who is coaching, and when we find weak points, do they get addressed. Start there.
also huge ****ing gigantic bonus points for beating the fuskers. If he wins only that game next year, he is already a god in my book.
On recruiting, I have never really cared as much about number of stars…. Rather about who does the guy have offers from. We have flat out not been able to compete for talent at the level we need to In order to win. That is already changing.
Prime can be as polarizing as he wants as far as I'm concerned. College Football is a tough business, he has to do what he has to do.
What has me a bit pissy is some of the adults at the PC yesterday deserved that tough talk a hell of a lot more than those players did. Instead they'll get to stay, one even got a healthy contract extension.
Anyway, taking a deep breath and moving on.
also i find the double standard very revealing... Saban would cut his own mother into tiny pieces to win games and Prime is somehow a bad guy for telling the truth?
Here is a quote from our own Darian Hagan from years ago when asked about a recruit CU ”successfully” managed to land… “ If i only had offers from the schools he had offers from and CU, I’d choose CU too.” Thank the players here; they have been through a lot; i wish them well in all their future endeavors. Prime and his staff are going to get fired if they don’t win. And typically that happens faster for black coaches than white ones. And, typically, black coaches who get a p5 gig are less likely to get another if they do get fired. So excuse them if they coach with a sense of urgency.
We have lost enough and took a freaking machine that was near the top of college programs at putting guys into the league and burned it to the ground. Let this man save us.

That talk didn't call out any players specifically. It was a challenge. If you think you can compete for PT and help this team, you also took it as a challenge.
If you thought you're the guy Prime was speaking to about the portal, you should be filling out the forms today. He's coming. It's clear as day to me. If you are not a dog ready to fight to eat, you are not our guy. Prime hasn't graded any film or studied who is capable of what. He's bringing some guys and he's got to make room. Sorry if that honesty hurts feelings. Next guy up.

also pretend for a minute here in bizarro world that we didn’t hit the lotto and get Prime and instead Saban decided to save us. The fan boys would be licking his boots and he would be doing exactly what Prime is doing re: the roster. He did it when he took over at Bama. the pearl clutchers can all go **** themselves. we are gonna win.
I want to bookmark this thread to show some of you who deny the perniciousness of modern racism.
This can't be emphasized enough. He didn't say "you all are out". He said "if you don't fit..." (these criteria).
Amazing how people take stuff out of context.

Homebrew & Prime Time = HEAVEN
Exactly he wants to see if you bleed black and gold. It's like when you take a weed out class in college.
Then there's this:

Completely hypocritical and misguided. His point, if Sanders was to leave JSU, it should have been a "top program", not CU. The author, who is Black, recognized that it's hypocritical that he, a Yale graduate, is criticizing Sanders when he himself went to a "white school". Logical gymnastics ensue. Apparently, if you abandon a HBCU for a white one, it's ok only if that white school is "good", which CU is not by his reasoning.

Jackson St actually had a student shot and killed Saturday night in the parking lot
Like Bowl tie-ins and no playoffs!
I saw a lot of comments today about his "nepotism" - saying his son's gonna be QB (without mentioning that he also said he'd have to work for it).
I wanted to reply to all these people: "Are you at ALL familiar with the QB situation at CU??"
I wanted to reply to all these people: "Are you at ALL familiar with the QB situation at CU??"
He will be the second highest ranked qb we’ve ever had, behind Ochs.
And our wives will cry as we up our donations amounts
Wait? Flounder married his Fleshlight?
I’ve been on some reddits seeing people make those comments. My response is “can you name a CU QB?”
Most replies are along the lines of, “can you?” Lame.
Everything is falling into place. And to those around the country that want to piss all over what Sanders has started here, GTFO!!
