That -3.5 was good. All my money was on this game this week.

Huskers QB killed them losing the ball on snaps multiple times.

Felt like they were definitely in it if he hadn’t sucked so hard.

I am a bit mixed on this one...

Neon is a doucher, almost as much as their fanbase. CSewe sucks, and can always KMA.

I'm with Norvell on this one.
I agree, too, but it's not good to poke the bear. Seems like Dion thrives on slights - real or imagined. He'll use this to fire up his team

The difference between Jay Norvell and Sanders is that one is a man (Norvell) while the other is a petulant child (Sanders).

I totally agree. Once the honeymoon phase is over in Boulder, they aren't going to put up with his classless behavior.

Which one would you prefer to be the Pokes head coach?

The Pokes hc? I would not allow Deion Sanders to come within 100 miles of our stadium. I'd rather go 0-12 with someone else than to bring all of that street thuggish and gold chain wearing rap oriented environment to our state. Never. He is as phony as a three dollar bill and as someone else mentioned before you can use the word classless as well. I also didn't like how he handled his opening win press conference making it about himself and race instead of congratulating his kids. 100% trash and never a fit for Wyoming.

I'm not a fan of Prime's style, but CU football is more relevant than they have been in more than 20 years, if not more than 30. Plus, I think the fans and school probably realize that they have a few years at most before he jumps to a major college or even NFL job. Between those two things I think they will put up with almost anything.

His program culture fits a lot recruits in today's world. It doesn't matter if you like it or not; it's not just a fad or flash in the pan.

There will be more trying to copy that approach and culture. Is it something only Deion can do or is it something that will become common in cfb? Time will tell, I guess.

His style is definitely unique and sort of reminds many of other flashy people who never achieved anything. The difference is he seems to be doing all the little things behind the scenes that actually translate to gridiron success. The things that create winning football programs have not changed since people like Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes or Barry Switzer were roaming the sidelines. Have some strategies changed? Sure...but things like emphasis on teamwork, attention to detail, practicing the little things will always work. Deion Sanders, for all of his brashness and flash must be focusing on those things or his teams would not be succeeding like this.

I was among the people who doubted what he accomplished at Jackson St. could be translated to a higher level of football but so far it has succeeded. One thing about guys like Deion who had long professional careers...they know how to work hard. Say what you want about not liking their demeanor or their "style", but to have a professional sports career that lasts 10+ years takes some real dedication and grit. Physical gifts alone might get you there but it is the grind and work ethic that will keep you there..... and Sanders has it.

Even though I agree with Norvell, I’d still prefer prime time as coach. They wouldn’t be talking about the buffs had they won these two first without him.

Imagine bringing in a coach, you beat TCU and Nebraska, you’re getting top recruits and you’re talk of college football. I’d take that. I actually don’t mind a lot of what he says. Telling all the players to leave from a team that was 1-11 is the right move.
