    Colorado debacle

    Any of you guys paying attention to Prime and the s-storm going on in Boulder? It's not a good look. I don't agree with kicking scholarship players to the curb if they are fulfilling their requirements.

    They are going to get slaughtered this fall.

    Sounds like Prime is going to rebuild that team with a bunch of Southern and Texas players.

    I'm confused on what's happening... one of the quotes says they had to cut 5 olinemen, which implies they have too many. There's another part of the article that implies they won't have enough players... it's 11 vs 11 in fall.

    They are making room....at an unprecedented level. This means he most likely has his guys already. Since tampering isn't a thing anymore...

    It will work for year 2. This year May be rough. But once it works everyone will start doing it.

    Does those OL need a place to land?

    It's a clown show in Boulder. It's not like the players are just bad. They looked like a disorganized high school team. I think Croom is probably a coaching upgrade on Deon Sanders. Straight Up.

    You have a grown man in ridiculous outfits and his name on his clothes "prime" on everything. This is just sad and dumb. I saw some grown fans walking around with $75, cheap looking, "prime" hoodies on Saturday.

    In 15 months, only people in "prime" hoodies will be homeless Denver crackheads.

    I mean, they went 1-11 last year. He?s going to improve on that in year 1, even if he only has 60 players.

    I mean, dude is doing exactly what he said he would. You can argue it?s not right or smart, but you can not say he is being dishonest.

    He is dishonest. He told everybody he had these transfers coming in named Louis. I have not seen a guy with that name yet. Louis must be a good player though because Deion keeps talking about him.

    He can have a bad year next year but I don’t think he can afford to have 2 bad seasons. Or he has to show marked improvement in season 2 and win more than lose in season 3.

    He can’t afford to lose momentum or he risks losing his “shine”. His good assistants won’t be that much better like they were in the SWAC.

    I’m going to have to see it to believe it.

    It's a damn narcissistic circus. He has that "Prime 21" logo on everything, 10x more prevalent than the actual CU school logo. They are so enamored with the idea of being relevant that they don't realize he's fleecing the entire school, community, and fan base. Looks like 40+ players have figured it out in the last 2 weeks.
    Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

    Meh. He said he would cut 25. 51 have left.
    We'll see how it works. I think his staff is pretty good, but he also had the best staff AND the most talented roster by a wide margin every game they played the last two years at JSU and still lost. It will be interesting to watch. I think they are 2-10/3-9 this year.

    Time will tell, but CU is a bad football program, 1-11 last year. Times have changed in college sports, it's a business now days, I hope he does well.

    If it looks/smells/sounds like a clown show

    It is.

    Total failure on Colorado's part. Or should I say "Prime University". :-/

    I left off the sarcasterics because I assumed everyone would know I was joking.

    He's not a good coach. He just runs the circus. This thing is going to be a train wreck.
