Dorrell is gone after this year. They are in a hole almost as deep as we are/were.

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Sun Sep 18, 2022 6:44 pm

Im calling it now, Dorrell will be fired after the Arizona game. Even with $11.3 million buyout. Just not sure they will want to save 3 ish million to wait till December.

Through three blowout losses to TCU, Air Force, and Minnesota to start the season, Colorado ranks 127th in total offense (245 yds/game) and 119th in total defense (452 yds allowed/game).

Deion is going to bring in a lot of marquee players. We should just get used to it.

Did you see the money also? Colorado even said they had no idea where the money was coming from to pay him.

After this was stated plenty of speculation ensued as to where this game might be played. At a nuetral site - LA, Vegas, or Glendale? If ASU doesn't want to give up a home game kickoff will have to be a 7PM late start in Tempe to avoid the worst of the August heat/sun. Late enough (10PM EST) to defeat the purpose of a having a zero week game the rest of the nation can watch at a reasonable hour.

I guess I just don’t get the allure of Sanders. Great player but hasn’t proven anything as a P5 coach. Maybe that’s the intrigue? To me it’s still CU vs the Scum

It was fun while the hope lasted - NCAA denied the waiver request to move an ASU/Colorado matchup to Zero Week:

Should Deion Sanders prove to be more hype than delivery, he's at least already making Colorado's athletic department a lot of $$$

I was told that Deion wouldn’t be able to sell Colorado football to recruits. Looks like at least the fans are buying in which is the best first step.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Mon Apr 24, 2023 9:32 am

That is amazing. Well done CU fans. They love their football.

I thought our almost 24k in the sun was pretty impressive as well. If they moved it to the evening I think we could have had 35k

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Mon Apr 24, 2023 10:00 am

It was also televised by ESPN which also seems to have some sort of stake in Deion.

So, one of the standouts in that game entered the transfer portal today

Colorado wide receiver enters transfer portal after big spring game

Montana Lemonious-Craig hauled in 3 receptions for 154 yards and 2 TDs in Colorado’s spring game

Colorado wide receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig entered the transfer portal just one day after putting on a big performance in front of a packed crowd in the Buffalo’s spring game over the weekend.

The third-year wideout posted a lengthy goodbye to his Twitter Sunday after recording three receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns in Colorado’s spring game.

"During the course of my time at the University of Colorado, I have been fortunate to cross paths with many remarkable individuals who have played a significant role in my journey.," Lemonious-Craig wrote in his statement.

"... I am truly grateful for each and every person who has contributed to my college experience. I am particularly thankful for the sincere people I have had the pleasure of meeting during my time at the University of Colorado. The warmth and kindness that I have experienced from the faculty, staff, and fellow students has made my time here truly special."

Lemonious-Craig played three seasons in Colorado, totaling 34 receptions for 497 yards and five touchdowns. His best season came in 2022 when he hauled in 23 catches for 359 yards and three touchdowns in eleven games.

OL Alex Harkey: The 6-foot-6, 305-pounder played one season at Colorado after transferring from Tyler (Texas) Junior College.

Read 51 in the portal already earlier.

That’s because it’s not an amateur sport. It never really was. We just pretended it was by making it difficult for players to go where they wanted once a school gave them a scholarship. But it was never difficult for programs to get rid of players.

As for Colorado, people may not like the turnover but they hired Sanders to turn them around from the absolute shit show they were. They had no size, less speed, and very little in the way of P5 talent. By the start of the 2024 season I bet no one will be talking about The Purge.

Prime Time Dickhead

Deion Sanders Not Happy With Players Who Didn’t Join in Colorado Practice Fight

Wilton Jackson

https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2023/0 ... cHoofYSowc

Colorado coach Deion Sanders takes great pride in his players being smart, tough, fast, disciplined and having strong character.

However, when a fight breaks out among players in practice, he believes players should stick up for their teammates, especially if the player directly involved in the fight is a key contributor to the team. When a fight broke out during the Buffaloes practice session on Tuesday, Sanders was not thrilled when he saw two of his players “walk off the field” to avoid the scuffle.

“He just fought. I saw two of y’all walking off over there and you got a teammate fighting. Where they do that at?! Where they do that at?!” Sanders said in a video posted to YouTube by his family’s Well Off Media account. “If one fight, we all fight! You understand that? I don’t wanna see y’all walking off when somebody’s fighting. Never again!.”

Sanders’s reaction to his teammates who elected to not fight does not come as a surprise. A few days ago, the Hall of Fame shared his thoughts on the culture of the program, indicating that he wants to win over everything else, and does not put much emphasis on whether his players “like each other.”

While Sanders has previously indicated that his players are friendly, one thing is certain: if a fight breaks out, Colorado players are expected to defend their teammates, not to bypass the fight and walk off the field.

Everyone's Making Same Joke About Colorado's Football Stadium

While the Buffaloes have added some serious talent to the roster, they've made some impressive improvements to the rest of the program, as well.

Perhaps the video board should be upgraded, though...

Fans are joking that Colorado's big board at Folsom Field has Michael Scott television vibes.

It's hard to not think to the classic Michael Scott dinner party scene from 'The Office.'

That's a small video board, to be sure...

2:40 mark
