I don't know about the QB situation, but I cleaned the fug up tonight on PrizePicks 

Nice prize picks wins! Since betting is legal now you would be better off just making a parlay though! Would have won twice as much on sportsbook.

Disregard. He played travis 115 out of 116 snaps. 

Deion is going to ride this kid into the dirt.  That said, I wonder if Hunter can go top 3 in the next draft.  He is an amazing talent of Deion doesn’t selfishly ruin him

Carolina got a ugly win, but man that QB position is gonna be a problem. Not sure how Harrell will look but he didn't look promising during the little time he had.

.

Harrell looked completely lost.  Very concerning

He looked like a guy who absolutely didn't expect to play and a player the coaching staff absolutely didn't expect to play. Mack flat out lied about both QBs getting a chance to play going into last night. Max Johnson was his QB, period.

Curious to see how Harrell looks moving forward as the guy. He looked way more promising in the bowl game last year even with the two INTs.

Hunter is going to have a huge amount of wear and tear whenever he declares. No other kid in college football is getting close to those snaps.

There is literally nobody saying they are winning the Natty lol

 

What's with people hating on Colorado?

 

I get they are over hyped, but it's Deion Sanders. He's gonna get all the headlines win or lose. This is no different than the Cowboys getting all the headlines. If you don't like Colorado just say that and keep it moving. But to make up lies to fit your narrative is just wrong.

 

Im rooting for Colorado and even I know this team isn't a contender. They are a 2 man show. Prime got 2 top 5 picks on his roster and he's coaching in a bad location nationally. Can you imagine if he had those 2 players with a better roster? The narrative would be so much different.

Do you complain about people "hating" on the Cowboys? 

Colorado doesn't have just 2 good players.  That's laughable.  And they ain't competing in the SEC.  You think they only have 2 good players....because that's what the coach cares about and his entire purpose in Colorado is his son.

Mack should be retired. The guy is simply old at this point. I feel like the university is keeping him around simply because of his past and he's a nice guy. 

 

He's the Joe Biden of HC's. Time to hang em up.

You got first round WRs logging 30-40% of the snaps Sanders puts on that kid. 

Deion cares about Deion.  College football is FULL of guys that could be getting attention playing both ways.  But they don't.  It's too high of level of play to but that on a kids body.  That's why ZERO coaches do it at this level.  No point talking the random gadget/moment where a kid makes an appearance because that's not the convo

So I guess the media is just lying to all of us. It's literally the same team from last season. 2 outstanding players surrounded with trash.

 

If they had more than 2 players they wouldn't be so bad. That defense is flat out atrocious. Yet you're trying to convince me they have more than 2 great players. If so who are those other great players?

 

I'll wait...

Deion had 2 sons playing plus Hunter.  Also Prime thinks he has more than 2 players.  He is claiming he could have 5 first rounders...

Sanders, however, was quick to point out there are more potential first-round players on this year’s roster, including receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. and guard Tyler Brown. FAU transfer LaJohntay Wester, who had 108 catches for 1,168 yards and eight TDs last season, also joins the offense. Defensive ends BJ Green and Dayon Hayes – who transferred from Arizona State and Pitt, respectively – combined for 10 sacks and 22 tackles for loss. 

So, yeah, Colorado has more talent in 2024. 

"Scouts are here every day, representing durn near every team in the first several practices," Sanders said. "That says a lot about the program. That says about the recruiting ability. That says about some wonderful things that people fail to mention."

Prime can think what he wants. That team is not talented. If they were it would show on the field. Nobody knows anyone besides Sanders and Hunter. It's literally a 2 man show.

That Oline still sucks. The defense still sucks.

His transfer portal was ranked 8th overall and 1st in the Big 12.  He did a trench overhaul.  I will say it will probably take them a minute to build some chemistry.  NDSU also has a great program so that was a tougher than appears week 1 matchup.

Gotta protect the players from themselves.  I'm sure a lot more would do it if coaches encouraged it or allowed it.

Yeah his sideline interview made it sound like he was coaching pee-wee and looking out for a participation trophy at the end of the year

Who's fault is that? You have ESPN practically working as the Deion hype team.

CU had the #1 transfer class last year and a top 10 transfer class this year. They're not devoid of talent.

It's interesting to note that the HS recruiting classes are off the map in the rankings. Deion knows he won't be there long enough for that to matter to him. After this year, he's gone. He's hoping he can ride Sheduer and Hunter to a better gig but I suspect he's going to claim mission accomplished and move on to his next grift outside of coaching.
