Wow, is there a better story in sports right now?

I don’t root for many former athletes but I’m rooting for Prime.

 

[mussels]

Coach Prime’s a blast. Love the Turnover Throne for the defensive player that forces a turnover.

Then of course you have the shades for his interviews, Wu-Tang Clan on the sidelines etc.etc. Who wouldnt want to play for him?

 

[bendm]

enjoy him while you can CU, once shadeur goes pro after 3 seasons, deion will leave for a prime time program job

Coco Gauff?

 

[Kenny11]

I find it funny and enjoyable that he’s simply and seriously being referred to as Prime by the media and everyone else.

In my Chris Berman voice: " Prime Time. Prime Time".

Coco Gauff?

Great athlete and a really personable young woman, but to be fair ask: is this a tennis obsessed nation, or a football obsessed nation?

Football is bigger but Colorado has won 2 games and people are acting like they won the whole thing

It's an entertaining story and typical of the "flash" that PrimeTime has shown his entire life. That said, it's not a sustainable system or program. He's a snake oil salesman. He rolls into town, sells his show, gets everyone excited then moves onto the next town. Enjoy the ride here though. Wu Tang Clan on the sidelines in the home opener? T.O. on the sidelines? It's only getting bigger from here this season.

His son is the real deal. He has some other elite players too. But yeah, will they respond well when they get beaten badly or they start suffering injuries to key players, etc? It’s tbd.

Have you seen the Colorado promo commercials that say "We have a prime location, we have prime facilities, we have prime academics...." etc. and at the end it shows Coach Prime? They're using him to promote the university, not only football.

I sat down and watched a pre-game show for the first time in ages because Fox was broadcasting from CU yesterday. Deion has activated my inner 90s child, I'm all in on the bandwagon wherever he goes.

He has the best player in the country.

I agree on his son and on Travis Hunter.

Think about Rex Ryan with the Jets. He comes in, big speeches, lots of personality, a "players coach" that "lets them play". Big lean on the "no one believed in us" angle. It's a formula. It's not a system like Saban or a Bill Walsh in SF situation. It lives on the spotlight and the sizzle.

This is based on.....?

 

[huskeynut]

He has won 2 games. That's all.

Let's see what happens the rest of the season. I do think he can coach and that he relates to his players. But the hype from the sports "journalists" is over the top.

It's a football obsessed nation, with the exception of this portion of the Boneyard.

Your response makes no sense in the context of @Letsgohuskies11 's reply. Coco is an amazing story on a bigger stage than Neon's story.

Are you comparing him to Rick Pitino?

Deion's athletic career was more than just "spotlight and sizzle".

Fair point. Think I read “better” in the original post as “bigger”

Deion

There is DEFINITELY an “I” in Deion
