Oregon destroys Colorado.

[MADHAT1]

Now you are just being intentionally provocative or plain stupid. Show your work.

There is nothing special about beating an overrated TCU that is a shell of the team that played in the CFP, or beating a crappy Nebraska who lost to a mediocre Minnesota, or a 1-2 Mountain West team.

anyone who thinks Shelby knows what he's talking about shouldn't be taken seriously and just seen as someone out to trigger.
They might do some good guesses, but analyzing how god or bad RU FB and/or it's HC isn't their fortay .
A lot of RU fans have been let down just about every time they got their hopes up, not they have lost hope and try to make Rutgers look hopeless when people post hopefully about the future.

[Section124]

can't argue with this and I for one do agree with what the poster said in that we DID look better. Still, your comment is spot on

And I agree we did look better. That being said we were one play from being shut out again. That is unacceptable.

I really don’t get the hate for Coach Prime year one. I hated him at FSU and most of his NFL career but am interested in what he can do for Colorado. Pretty good results so far but with the amount of plays Hunter had and the upcoming schedule, the rest of the season was never expected to be pretty for them.

 

[MADHAT1]

Because I am a board legend and my posts have been proven to be right
Am I wrong ??

got to admit you are a good guesser.
Guessing bad things has proven more successful when taking RU FB then predicting success.
Rutgers past practice has proven that ever since Burns had to play the big boys with little boy money
A legend can pick winners when losing looks like a better choice, going with the losing flow is the safe choice.
But you are good making predictions about failure because Rutgers has be proving that for years.
Implying success won't be coming is far easier then sticking your neck out and saying RU can and will improve.
Good job staying in a safety zone wen predicting what Rutgers will do

So until RU becomes a winning program your legend will continue, that I will admit

[ashokan]

hate the term 'over achiever' as you achieve what you're capable of. Now you may not be consistent or have too much sloth and laziness to be seen as not achieving what you can but 'over achiever' is bs. You get and do what you can regardless

Unlike a lot of sports, in football you can overachieve. Its a game of muscle and passion at a basic level. If a coach, can stoke a team the right way and get them playing together (key) and smart they can be the 100lb guy lifting the car off a kid. Baseball, basketball, volleyball and other heavy skill games dont quite work the same way - getting stoked can backfire.

Colorado under Schiano would still have the older players, and the first year would have been spent with everyone contemplating belly buttons. There would still be season tickets unsold and spring game would have improved by 5k tickets instead of 40k. Its not just the player - the whole colleges is operating over its former limits, Even TV ratings are setting records. A historically bad team setting viewer records after 3 games is overachieving imo. Now recruits are breaking down the doors and HOF players want to come coach. The whole scene on juice.

Now the reason I like Col so much is because they are the antidote to SportsInc. So tired of the same flat coaches circulating after the season, the same clueless bimbos asking stupid questions from stupid players who say the same things over and over and over. The same talk-shows and writers with the same PC garbage.

Deion tells the media "you didn't make me and you cant break me." Who else does that while succeeding on/off the field and sucking-in a huge following (and recruits). Deion is the populist of sports and coaching - a reason the boring coaches hate him and say stupid things like Deion is after "clicks." That doesn't even mean anything.

Nope, they lost Henry, one of the best players in the country. Shedeur Sanders is a solid QB but the YPC dropped like a stone after Henry went down. And he has already been sacked 22 times. The D has given up mega points in every game but Nebby, so that's an outlier. They are nowhere near Top 20 without Henry, probably not with him.

Remember last year when RU lost our best 2 QBs and Sam Brown as well as a couple of our best defensive players, and none of our so-called fans would accept those losses as an excuse for losing? Well, cry me a river for Colorado...suck it up and win.

The fact that there are posts like this on the Board shows sanders is doing fine. Are there posts about schiano on the Colorado boards ?

 

[greenknight]

This week could get ugly as well. I did not think before the season prime had depth to compete with the better pac 12 teams this season. Only 65 guys on Scholarships.
Prime job 1 was to make buffs football relevant again. He has done that. Time will tell if he can be a consistent winner at this level. His job has gotten easier with the move to the b12.

Next year with a good portal off-season he could be the favorite in the b12. I don't think we can judge his coaching until he is about 3 years into the job.

Hes going to get alot of players. They like the hype & circus.

Sanders had more big wins in his first 3 weeks than schiano ever had. Also true

This paragraph in The Athletic sums it up regarding the Oregon HC's pre-game comments:

"The comments should not have surprised anyone. Lanning, like many others, appeared to be suffering from Deion Fatigue. It’s reminiscent of what many sports fans felt when Tim Tebow was quarterback of the Denver Broncos and media coverage could not get through a day, let alone an hour, without mentioning him."

And this-- not so much about Deion, but about the sunshine pumpers who love to promote the flavor of the week, the day, the hour. It's much worse now with social media and the constant feed of noise on the new shiny toy:

"Whatever the case, his frustration, exasperation, anger — choose your noun — should not have been directed at Sanders and the Buffaloes. It should have been directed at those who propped up the program as being more than it is."

Some want to make it about not liking Deion. Maybe for some, that's it. But IMO, for most, it was the constant overhyping of what Colorado had "achieved." Let's see how the season plays out.

This is a great quote from Deion, and he is absolutely right. There is a tendency to dislike confident people, who often wrongly get painted as arrogant:

“People around the country will say this is what they needed to humble themselves,” Sanders said afterward. “We weren’t arrogant. We’re confident people. Our confidence offends their insecurity.”

I don't agree with the premise Lanning is suffering from Deion fatigue. I agree with the comments in this tweet and it's something I've mentioned in one of the Deion threads. The article is paywall but you can get the gist from the tweet. I think Lanning was using the Deion spotlight to bring attention to his school and team, nothing more. It's the Nike flash school that already gets some attention but Deion was a vehicle to use and put a stamp on it and say "hey we're the real big dogs" come look at us recruits/transfers etc... Oregon is competing against USC/Washington and soon to be other B10 schools like Michigan/OSU/PSU so the more they can bring attention, glamour and what not to their program the better it can help them compete.

Remember when USC got added, they had the preference that Oregon would not get added? Why? Because they preferred not to compete with the flashy Nike school for Cali recruits. So I see Lanning using the Deion spotlight as a vehicle to show Cali recruits, national recruits and transfers" "hey we're the real show" both in flash and substance.

From the article:

Lanning and Oregon wanted to embarrass the Buffaloes and send a message to the world. That’s the job of a college football coach. This isn’t the NFL with a salary cap, equal revenue and a draft. In this sport, you’re always selling, and nobody knows that better than Colorado’s Deion Sanders.

Oregon was selling to the many recruits it brought to this game, to the millions of casual fans who tuned in only for Coach Prime, to the College Football Playoff committee, to Heisman Trophy voters, to the YouTube faithful who watch every behind-the-scenes video about Colorado football.

“I don’t care how much anybody talks about us, but if we find fuel for the fire, we’ll use it,” Lanning said after the win.

The Oregon head man reverted to coachspeak after the game, saying he had to humble himself, but the message had already been sent.

Perhaps Lanning's point, while not explicit or even intended, is maybe society should stop paying attention to those screaming "look at me, look at me!" This applies to football teams and coaches that have not accomplished anything significant on the field, and life in general- see all the Tik Tok and YouTube "stars" followers who get a lot of attention for not doing anything meaningful. While they are getting a lot of attention, it's not due to achieving anything other than a herd mentality of the herd wanting to take a peek and see what the hoopla is about.

Back to more mundane things than pyschology/sociology on a rainy Monday morning. My rain gauge needs emptying. It overflowed at 9 inches overnight. Maybe I'll make a Tik Tok video about it and retire.

The world is what the world is, you deal with things as they are and make the best of it.

Deion's look at me has a purpose and it's working. He hasn't accomplished anything significant yet on the field (6 wins would be significant though) but he's accomplished significant things off the field for sure. He's got them in the spotlight, he's got butts in the seats, people watching on tv, people paying attention and most likely many recruits/transfers taking a good hard look. All that stuff is helpful to the program and school. It might be seen as madness but that's a method behind the madness.

I said it before, the spotlight will be bright if they keep winning and are able to stay ranked but if not it will fade to some degree. Oregon/USC were going to be hard games even with Hunter. I thought Oregon had a good chance to blow them out because their offense is strong and their defense is good too and it was at Autzen. I think USC should be a closer game than that. USC's offense is good but their defense isn't as good and it's in Boulder. Still think USC will win but I'd be surprised if it's as one sided as the Oregon game was (like 2-3 scores vs 5). So that could be 2 straight losses. That will dim the lights some but it's Deion so he'll squeeze every drop of limelight out he can and that's good for the program. If he can get 6 wins or more, that's a real significant accomplishment in year 1. Most people thought that was a pipe dream at the start of the year. If he gets 5 wins, that's a solid job too.

To be clear, I don't begrudge Deion for what he is doing. He was famous before becoming a college football coach. His situation is certainly different than a nobody on TikTok becoming a somebody. I agree totally that he is maximizing the value of his platform and the exposure he is bringing to Colorado.

I don't think Lanning was being petty or jealous. He was just being a coach, looking for an angle to motivate his players. But seeing all of the attention heaped on Colorado is like watching the stock a startup company with no earnings rise significantly because of some excellent promotion or hype. Sometimes that hype and the value of the stock is warranted and pays off. But often times, it does not. What will be interesting is what Deion does after his son leaves for the NFL, which, according to his son, will be next year. Will Deion look for a new team/project and bigger $$$. Time will tell. IMO, he should maximize his earnings/exposure while he has the spotlight.

Lanning isn't the only one. Dickert too. Day as well. They will grasp onto anything for motivation etc..That's fine and it's part of the coach's job. Normally, it's in the lockerroom and now it's getting some light of day. That could be part of the Deion effect on some coaches. As I said in other threads, I like it. I want to see more than the usual boring coachspeak whether it's manufactured or not lol.

[ashokan]

I don't agree with the premise Lanning is suffering from Deion fatigue.

The president of the Oregon Swishes - Phil Knight - is at the game with Nike heads telling Deion he's "saving the game." Show that to a recruit both Oregon and Colorado are going after.

Sanders made Colorado 90 million after three games. Think that kind of juice will transalte to NIL sums? Of course it will. Nevermind recruits - Lanning could end-up losing current players to Colorado. I'll bet some of those Oregon players were auditioning for Prime.

Bo Nix himself always thought highly of Sanders

“It’s awesome. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it happen before. A complete turnaround of a program, that’s really hard to do in college football especially in today’s day and age. Coach Prime and I go back. He was my coach at the Under Armour game. I know him. I know how fierce of a competitor he is. He does a good job of being a leader and being a coach. He has his team ready to play."

if Sanders stays healthy he's going to own cfb and that's not as bad as it can sound. Currently America is a sick hive. Sports is a hive, media is a hive, corporations are hives, academia is a hive, government is a hive, military is a hive, medicine is a hive. There are so many hives they work with each other to make one giant zombie hive.

Some brave souls have been taking on the hive and people love it. Even Taylor Swift - she flips Apple the bird, she flips Spotify the bird, she flips her manager the bird and gets her music and money back. Now she's a billionaire atop the music industry who turns everything to gold.

Prime is headed that way in sports and a lot of coaches, owners, colleges, leagues are realizing they are just muggles treading water. Sports get more boring and crappy every year - bland, corporate garbage cultivated by hive mafiosi who force you to take what you don't want. People have booed Goodell for 15 years and NFL hive just laughs at fans. College is where football was born and its where it will be remade (if we can suvive a homicidal hive). People aren't spending on Colorado because they are stupid - they love seeing something genuine. Only the muggles thinks Sanders is gaming the system

also helps that just recently Deion left Under Armor and signed on with Nike
Tom Brady is a big supporter of Deion's son Shedeur and has praised Shedeur's play.
Tom also signed the kid to an NIL with the Brady clothing clothing brand
Deion and Shedeur deserve the props they got from Phil and Tom.,

[Randal7]

To the people who make it seem like their happiness depends on prime time being unsuccessful. If he's able to put a national championship contending, consensus top 5 team together in the next year or 2 will that ruin college football for you or what? Will you stop watching? There are some people that just don't like when someone is receiving what they feel is too much praise or attention. Similar to the guy that all the girls fawn over and you have to point out that you have a better job. Or the guy tha closed an 8 figure deal and you have to point out that he's fat or out of shape.
Being that the man has done nothing but be a coach, the people that don't like him but aren't affiliated with opposing teams must have personal issues. Aren't happy in their own life or see the successful person as an example of what they could've done with their own lives if they applied themselves a little more.

Maybe that's not you but that's how you come off lol...

They have USC up next , expect a Sanders- Williams discussion and whoa to Deion if the Buffs get blown out. He'll be raked over the coals for it
Close game will make the Sanders the greatest their is, ever was and ever will be piasters insufferable again , making the haters hate him and Colorado even more

Deion is just doing what he neds to do to make Colorado be able to bring in talent and money, using his natural showmanship in an over the top way to get the Colorado football program noticed.
He did that and now the Colorado Football program has the eyes of the college football world looking at more than the #1 team in the nation, you can put the whole top 25 in that statement as well.
As much as I would like to knock Deion Sanders for the way he acts at times, how he presents himself is a very big reason Colorado has made itself the center of college football and probably the most talked about program in the nation.
So instead of knocking Deion, I must give him credit, for the way he acts in front of the public

As much as I would like to knock Deion Sanders for the way he acts at times, how he presents himself is a very big reason Colorado has made itself the center of college football and probably the most talked about program in the nation.
So instead of knocking Deion, I must give him credit, for the way he acts in front of the public

Yes. To all.

tell you what, Oregon would have dropped 100 on us yesterday. Oregon is scary good

No, Rutgers has a running game which Colorado lacks. Along with the new rules changes that would of chewed up time of possession. Oregon wouldn't have had the ball enough times to score that many. Also, Rutgers has a better defense than Colorado. No doubt Oregon would'v beaten Rutgers though.

What? Year 4 and we are still getting blown out by ranked teams. Year 1 for Prime and he knocked off a top ranked team. Let’s wait until Year 4 to see how coach Prime does.

Well, he will be playing in a less competitive conference (ie, the B12 next year), so you can expect him to have more wins. He does have unique charisma or marketing for lack of a better word that seems well suited for the transfer portal. He gets a whole lot of media attention and that helps. And he's a bit teflon when it comes to past controversies.

Had Rutgers played even in the Big-West, the perception would be different. Having to play Ohio St., Michigan, Penn St ect every year really tests your depth in a way that B12 schools will not likely face. Even guys play every, they get dinged up more and aren't at full go. It's why even mediocre teams in the SEC get so much credit. The Big-East has just been a heck of a grind. This year's PAC appears loaded too.

Oh well thanks for relenting on that last point there!
