Field level highlights Colorado Spring Game. Electric crowd.

Yeah I’d say 3-4 wins is a good year for them based on that schedule. TCU, Nebraska and Colorado State is a helluva non-conference schedule when you have a P5 conference slate to follow. 

The hardest schedule in college football, huh?  Because they play the PAC-12 and Nebraska?  Am I missing something?

Sure and Deion is  and always has been great at making a show. But dude hasn’t coached a major college football game yet…I’d be hyped too if I was a Buffs fan, but gotta do it on the field. 

One thing this post misses is the Neon Deion name recognition as one of the best corners to ever play the game.  Hell, people still recall his time at FSU, let alone his Hall of Fame NFL career in the hot spotlight he brought on himself with his words.  He followed up everyone of those words with his play, though - if you don't like Sanders its because you just don't like anyone that talks, whether he can back it up, or not.  The guy is a lightning rod that creates attention with his words, his actions, and his deeds.  Colorado football isn't getting this attention because of the "new coach effect".  This amount of attention is because the new coach is Prime Time himself.  In the middle of Colo-friggen-rado!  Anyone ever think Deion Sanders would have ever coached in Colorado?  LOL - you're lying if you say you did!

Now, can he make it work?  Only time tells, as with every new hire in any business.  But he's been a successful coach at his all other stops, and he's been wildly successful his entire life in football (and most everything else, so far as I can tell).  So my money says he gets CU playing good football, not just 'respectable', within 4 years.

Zombie Dan Reeves as HC would definitely have drawn crowds.

“and sold out their 2023 season”

No.

I have no idea with the McCartney thing, but with Deion he may be referencing the Prime Prep debacle. It was definitely shady.

He may be confusing Bill McCartney with Gary Barnett. Colorado had a pretty major scandal under Barnett. I recall hearing whispers at the time that the culture maybe been started by McCartney and Barnett took it over the top. No idea if that’s true but perhaps OP was referencing that or knows more than I remember about it. 

He probably doesn’t care about MGoPoints and doesn’t need to defend himself, but I found this article to be interesting: https://apnews.com/article/f219e17d92e147a8954c5672f735b964

McCartney's so-called national championship in 1990 is probably one of the most fraudulent championships in American sports history.

That was the year of the fifth down game. Colorado won a game against Missouri because of a major officiating mistake (interesting how it's always Missouri on the wrong end of controversial plays by fake national champions). The officials allowed them a fifth down because the chain gang forgot to change the down markers after one of the plays and no one caught the error. Colorado scored the game-winning TD on "fourth down", which was actually fifth down. They finished 10-1-1 that year and probably wouldn't have won a share of the national championship if not for that officiating gaffe and that win.

Yea. A lot of people say things before a fight but it’s the guys grinding in the gym and not saying much that usually dominate. We can shoot fireworks and yell and stuff but if you’re not doing the real work….I love knowing Herbert and UM are doing the work. 
 

edit: I get they lift at CU too. It’s a culture thing. 

Hawkins didn't build the BSU program.  Dirk Koetter did.
