Looks like Mel Tucker may be possibly on his way out. I don’t believe this woman is a victim at all. But his judgement probably leaves him open to termination.  Could MSU make a play for Prime after tge season?  They obviously don’t mind spending money. 

Deion calling some obvious stuff deep in scoring territory….shout have had a TD there

Wow. CSU making insane catches. I think that seals it even know ample time. Colorado not moving the ball well.

Great defensive game plan and execution. This looks like the 3.5 win Vegas Colorado 

Refreshing seeing the number of plays CSU is making when it matters 

I wish they didn’t have the dirty takeout of Hunter. Huge loss for Colorado

Gotta have Sanders scramble on this 2 point

Great play 

28-28 with 32 seconds left

CSU is dirty AF

Took out Hunter and tried to concuss Sanders

15 penalties 

If CSU gets in, they’ll go for 2 and the W

Double OT….Colorado giving no friction at all on CSU tying it up. Surprised they didn’t go for 2

Great presence by Shadeur and great play call on 2 or conversion 

Make a damn play, CSU doesn’t deserve to win with their hurt the stars tactics 

Good game. I’ve been up for 22 hours

Darby is out

Can’t believe CSU didn’t go for two at the end of the first overtime. Go try and win it. Why go through another overtime without your best defensive player and you’re already struggling to stop them 

After this performance, perhaps the talking heads proclaiming the Buffs great will get back to the reality that they're a lock to lose 4 or 5 games, perhaps more.

I think that they will lose several games, but he has done a good job of taking over a 1 win team team and making them at least an average to abover average team in a very short period of time.

Agree, but I'm not sure how much I care for the method to accomplish it.

Are you talking about taking away scholarships from kids who don't perform well? It happens with academic scholarships all of the time. If a kid gets a 1.0 GPA, he loses his scholarship.

they have 9 games left on their schedule. 6 of them look like comfortable losses. i think once they lose the first game, the cracks will begin to show and they will fall apart.

when they brought in deion, my thought was they would immediately improve to a 5-6 win team and stay there. an improvement over years past, but virtually no upward trajectory after that. i still feel that way.

i am expecting excuses when oregon blows their doors off next week if hunter is out.

I do think Shadeur and Shilo looked good. Surprised by his arm.

Dissapointing thought for anyone over the age of 35 that actually got to witness Deion and his all-time elite wheels. They are both kinda fast but no one caught Deion, especially a Dline or LB. Deion looked like the athletic 8th grader playing freeze tag with 1st graders, it was fair and he could just mess with them

Yes, and if the ballplayers don't perform in the classroom, they will be gone. No one with the least bit of integrity cuts a substantial percentage of the team, nor should the people they work for allow it.

You are very naive if you think that the majority of players at that level are taking real classes. Why should a player get another scholarship if he isn't doing the job? Most people in life don't get to keep their job if they suck at it.

I agree.  We’ll see in December if Deion was the Second Coming some are proclaiming him today.  I see his tenure at Colorado ending very ugly.

I don't think that they will finish with a great record, but 6-6 would be a big improvement from 1-11. He's just ahead of the curve in working the transfer portal and NIL. That will balance out within a couple of years. Any long term success will come down to his ability to recruit and build a quality coaching staff. My guess is that he leaves for a bigger program within a few years. Colorado was a national power 30 years ago, but the Big 8/12 is no longer a major conference with the changes coming.

I can see some stupid SEC school selling its soul to get him (Tennessee, Florida, Auburn).  By then his schtick will have grown stale.  His “style” requires” the blue bloods in a school’s alumni base to hold try and maintain a grin while Lil Wayne replaces their marching band during pregame.  If his gambling on the portal to assemble an all-star team stops working, they’re going to be highly disappointed.  

Deion to Florida a lock.
