I love how he made it about the team. Not the media, the naysayers, or the haters (as he said)
"This is about us"
Also...pushing the concept of each one on the team matters.
"The man next to you is a miracle. That man next to you is a believer."

It's a good start for them for sure.

Same. My impression is he’s gonna recruit the best and demand excellence on & off the field. He’s gonna be a role model to these kids who need one & ensure they realize that football ain’t life and not everyone goes on to be Deion Sanders the HOF football player. The Old Guard at the SEC better hope Deion doesn’t land there. Can’t wait if he does…I’ll have the popcorn ready.

Very true.

This is where the transfer portal, could end up being a game changer for them. Now he can recruit the SEC, but only the experienced kids. Especially those at an SEC school that doesn't have eyes on a title. He doesn't need them all, just the right amount.

Well no way that team last year hangs 45 on TCU.

Deion Sanders claims a 'confident' Black man coaching 75% African American athletes is 'threatening' for many people following Colorado's marginal win over TCU

Colorado Buffalos head coach Deion Sanders set the record straight with his doubters after his team beat TCU football team on Saturday.

If the guy really thinks he’s disliked bc of his race and not bc he’s cocky af and ripped scholarships from his entire team, he’s even more delusional than I thought.

Philly he has also been talking about the disproportional lack of Black Head Coaches at FBS programs - which is true.

I am not buying into the hype just yet, the only way Colorado is getting attention is because of Prime Time. Nice way to start the year by beating TCU. Go beat Oregon & USC.

Now I see Travis Hunter said he was offered $1.5 Million to leave Colorado. Did he say which program(s)?

It was an offseason of triggering. He keeps winning actual games of actual football....oh my.

And the bedwetting regarding recruiting is going to be even worse.

I'm here for it.

Shadeur looks remarkably improved when you look at him on Saturday versus last year at JSU. Forget the other 21 people around him on the field and focus on him. Footwork, arm, all of it. He put in the work this offseason and it manifested itself on Saturday in Fort Worth. Can he consistently do it for 11 more weeks remains to be seen, but this is definitely a different guy.

I think the performance as good as it was could have been even better.

Edwards had 11 touches. They were big ones, but I would ask would they have won without Shadeur?

Edwards had a ton to do wiht that victory, scoring 4 times, 2 of which no one else that side of the Mississippi could've scored on. He's that big of a mismatch with his speed.

Sanders deserves credit but I am absolutely floored by how little pressure they were able to get on S. Sanders. I thought TCU's defense was supposed to be good but Sanders had all day.

I'm not saying Edwards didn't have a lot to do with them winning. They had three other receivers besides him with 100+ yards.

There really isn't a "but". Sanders was excellent. He still managed to get sacked four times. His poise and accuracy were surprising. Most of the incompletions were deep balls that were right there. When he missed, he didn't miss by much. He was a three star recruit who transferred from an FCS HBCU. Some questions were answered Saturday that a lot of people were asking. Most of us here knew who and what Edwards is, along with the recruitniks. Now everyone knows, but those who already knew were not asking a ton of questions about a four star recruit even though he's a freshman.

Both Sanders and Edwards were electric. I don't know who QB2 is, but it might be best for them if they don't find out, and if they get Edwards the touches he needs he's going to break games open. They have to keep both healthy.

Best thing for the rest of the pack is that CU under Prime now has 60 minutes of film to have looked at. As the film continues to build, we'll see how the PAC 12 finds the cracks. Not a conference very well known for their defensive prowess.

Give him props for winning. I'm just not sure this was as tough a test as many thought it would be.

That's a good win, especially given CU only won one game last year. TCU's probably an 8-4 team this year I'd imagine. I just wonder if CU can keep it up throughout the year. Deion's son was phenomenal Saturday. Can he continuously keep that level of play? Can Hunter keep playing 100+ snaps a game? We'll see. This Nebraska game will show a lot. Pretty cool seeing them have some success, though. They were a powerhouse when I was growing up.

If people were saying this last week, fine, but I'm seeing a hell of a lot of this after the fact this week more than there was prior to Saturday. They were three touchdown dogs on the road and had one victory all of last season. It was hard for anyone to expect anything other than a loss. The majority of the outside world never would have predicted what we actually saw.

Win or lose, narratives and agenda against this program won't change. It's a week to week existence. Nebraska looked like pure garbage last week. Nothing is stopping them from beating this team.

I still feel the more film gets out there, the tougher it is going to get.

Also it's not like they backed into the win. Sanders, Edwards, and Hunter all had amazing games. Idk how Nebraska can dream of defending against that.

Deion played in The League for 14 years. Shadeur has access and opportunities most QBs don't have because of that. I think that's a huge advantage he has over just about everyone outside of Arch Manning and a few others. You could see the difference from the last game he played in at JSU. I have no doubt that not only does he put in the work but he has access to coaching and instruction few others do.

He's also got Sean Lewis calling plays, and for as good as he was and as electric as Edwards was, I thought Lewis called an absolutely fantastic game.

You going to throw up if Caleb Williams becomes the next Archie Griffin? I probably will.

Why wouldnt he be considered for that title? Hes a top ranked recruit who just played 110 snaps as a two way player and excelled doing both.

The worst thing to come of this? Inevitable Charles Woodson comps for the next several weeks if not months.
