Deon Sanders

[ktuck911]

there was no way it was going to be a disaster... Deion doesn't like to lose... And he demands A TON from his players/coaches... Now, with the help of big time donors backing the program, the rest of the P5 schools that always stood on top better watch out...

Probably, but the fact of this accomplishment that makes him the GOAT of men's professional tennis is the point.

Also, his winning the tie-break in the 1.75 hour 2nd set was something to behold. Had he lost that, all bets were off if he could go the distance of a 4 or 5 set match.

Joker is Goat of all tennis!

Some people are just blessed with so much talent. Danny Ainge played both in the NBA and MLB baseball and was also High School All-American in football.

Then you have UConn players like Burrell who played minor league baseball along with the NBA. And going back, Walt Dropo was drafted by the Bears and an early form of the NBA but played first base for the Red Sox.

The most unbelievable to me was Jim Thorpe however. Olympic gold medal winner as well as pro baseball and football. I remember reading that he was even a ballroom dance champion.

Even the rifleman Chuck Connors played in both MLB and NBA.

But Bo was something special until he was injured. Who could forget those "Bo Knows" commercials where he had Gretzky shaking his head?

I think Bo might be greatest athlete we’ve seen in past 50 years if not 100. You could probably put him in any sport and he’d be elite level with practice.

I'd give you 50, but Jim Brown was the greatest in the last 100 years. The GOAT in lacrosse, played basketball, baseball, and ran track at Cuse, at a very high level. Bo was awesome but he did get hurt and you have to count durability too if you're gonna call someone the goat.
If there was media in Jim Brown's day, they'd be no question.

Coach Prime was an amazing athlete but his two greatest attributes are self-promotion and procreation. His son is lights out at QB. I hope Colorado wins because is adds entropy to the college football system. Any chaos disrupts the football status quo, which helps UCONN. Let's go Buffs!

I put myself up there as the greatest athlete of the past 100 years too for beer pong. No media for that either!

I’d be rooting for him if he was bringing us with him to the Big12.

Lots of back peddling goin on in the post game presser

 

[Devland]

The only enjoyment I had at the football game today was seeing the Colorado scores.

Just saw the Oregon coaches pregame speech. "They're fighting for clicks we're fighting for wins". How prophetic.

[KryHavok]

Ehhh, you mean unlike his playing days, Sanders is willing to take a hit (on stage)?

 

[mauconnfan]

I like Deion, he doesn’t bother me and I was all for the start he had with the buffaloes. But this was coming and if you didn’t see it you bought in too hard. They’re talented but Oregon is for real. Back to earth!

 

[HCCForever]

Just saw the Oregon coaches pregame speech. "They're fighting for clicks we're fighting for wins". How prophetic.

I also liked his statement "we talk with our pads, with our helmets".

 

[BuffaloHusky]

In the same press conference, he gave the Danny Hurley “you better get us now” declaration. Time will tell but USC at home next week is a better barometer than Oregon on the road.

Prime eluded to an issue he knew would be an initial challenge at the start of the CU gig: OL and DL... The trenches. He believes he has the skill guys already, but needs way more up front. Kinda looks evident... Once he gets that in place, should be really interesting
