I Think The Bison Roll The Buffs

That pretty much sums it up. Any other thoughts?

I think it's amazing how fast Coach Prime and the Buffaloes burned through their good will. This time last year, they were everybody's darlings. Now all I see is hate. I count myself as one of those people. NDSU is going to come into this game with the mother-of-all chips on their shoulders for sure. It'll be interesting to see what happens to Colorado this year.
In many ways I blame ESPN. They shoved them down everyone’s throat for a year.MrCraig wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 8:27 amI think it's amazing how fast Coach Prime and the Buffaloes burned through their good will.

Oh 100% but Prime and his team ate up the attention too without humility when everyone knew they weren't going to have a winning season with the schedule they had to play. The fact that they only won 4 games hasn't seemed to humble them at all.appstate24 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 8:58 amIn many ways I blame ESPN.

I don't know man, a guy who was a star in two major sports has to be pretty damned goodNattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 12:14 pmI always thought he was overrated as a player and an attention whore. He was really good, but his fame came from his mouth and flamboyancy.
He was a dangerous return man and one of the best cover corners. But, he wasn't a complete DB. He didn't want anything to do with tackling in the run game. Played offense as well. Very, very talented--Very Exciting!... but not a hitter.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 6:03 pmDefinitely not overrated as a player. His football stats would have been better if QBs would have thrown his way. Definitely not a HOF in baseball but good enough to make MLB.
On coaching side...time will tell. Getting kids to Southern was easier due to his name recognition and less on coaching ability. However, you have to coach a little bit to win in any conference. If he somehow gets Colorado to top of Big 12, I will give him credit..that book is still being written.
The HOF thought he was complete enough to let him in the club ..and win SB. Given his skill set and a corner, and need as a returner....I would not be laying myself out unless required. It would have limited his years in the league as injuries would have diminished his ability to cover.WASU 93 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 10:37 pmHe was a dangerous return man and one of the best cover corners.

You would be hard pressed to find another similar situation like this. A coach takes over a horrible team and instantly gets massive national exposure, lots of prime (no pun intended) games and is barely at .500. I don’t think I can think of anything close. I like some of the “old school” stuff he spouts but the arrogance to think he can run half the team off and reload with FCS level talent..and win big is really a tired narrative.appstate24 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 8:58 amIn many ways I blame ESPN.
