Interesting perspective on Sanders by Jason Whitlock.

I don’t have a dog in the fight when it comes to CU and Oregon. Just want to watch good football.
I really appreciate you telling me all this...You know, in my 16 years of coaching high school and college football, I never realized that...
Thanks a lot....
Deon can choke on his gold chains he wears around his neck
Yep. I saw somehwhere CU is now described as America's black team
Yaaaaaaaaawn
Same criticism against Trump.
As per Colorado. They don't have any talent. A few players, but all in all they don't have any talent. They were able to surprise teams early in the season.
Yes, it was certain that the “fairy-tale” winning of this team had to come to a halt soon. After all, the team only won one game last season. However, Sanders has shown he can find some talent, pull a team together, and win a few games to prove all the nay-sayers wrong. Losing a game or two might be good for the players as they will be encouraged once more to show they can play football. If for no reason other than out of respect for themselves and their coach.
Also, I’m impressed by Coach Sanders’ sons and the family coherence they have exhibited thus far this season.
We have so little to root for these days, so let us root for the former losing team in college football and the coach that all the sports “experts” insisted couldn’t field a winning team.
If they win no more games this season, I’ll still be impressed with what they have done. It’s certainly a start and in a few more years they could be a team to be reckoned with in their league.
I wish I had your problems.
Colorado was 1-11 last year.
47 Colorado players transfered out after the 2023 Spring Game.
If Colorado finishes 6-6 and goes to a bowl game it will be a much better season than anyone predicted.
It would be a great season if they were somehow finish with a 500 record.
I think they have a pretty good chance of that happening. I doubt they’ll win more than 6.
I was fairly positive this would happen and I am glad. The Bufs needed to be knocked down a notch and gain some humility. I doubt Sanders preaches to his players to simply “act like they’ve been there”.
Whitlock is correct.
Losing your best player, when the backups are scrubs will do that to a team.
But nobody was expecting them to go unbeaten. Still 6-7 wins would be a tremendous turnaround from last year.
Deion has one son playing both ways. A good Father would make him choose, because he will destroy his body. He is putting team ahead of players health, who just happens to be his son. If Nick Saban was doing that with his boy, I think Mr Sanders would not allow or like that.
It was a good story. What he's doing there is still a good story. Lots of coaches play the "us against the world" card. He made them relevant for the first 4 weeks of the season. If they win 6 games and make it to a bowl, it will be a successful season and a good place to build from.
Oregon is a really good team. CSU and Nebraska aren't. The jury is still out on TCU. They do have a really tough schedule coming up - five of their eight remaining games are against ranked teams.
If they win 6 games and make it to a bowl, it will be a successful season and a good place to build from.

I don’t follow college sports too closely, but has it become like the professional sports, where everyone makes the playoffs? Why should a 500 team make it to a bowl?
