The Tailgate

It can be understated that Deion has already done some great things at Colorado, whether it be pulling in be recruits, utilizing the transfer portal to the fullest extent or literally tripling the Buffaloes win total of 1 from last season. Does Coach Prime rub people the wrong way? For sure but he's been rubbing people the wrong way his entire career, that's what he does. Hand up I was one of the people rooting hard against Deion, was actually pretty stoked when he got annihilated by Oregon. The sports media and normal media alike has been cramming Colorado and Coach Prime down our throats since Deion came to Colorado, it was a lot. The fact is Colorado isn't there yet, they have a long way to go to be considered a top 10 team. Look at the facts, they beat a grossly overrated TCU team who lost 20 starters, a rebuilding Nebraska team and had to come from behind and take Colorado State to over time. I guess my point since they started was, let's not crown them yet. Deion is doing incredible things and will continue to do incredible things but they are no where near the upper level of College Football just yet, so if we can pull it back a bit, enjoy watching them, it'll be fun. Shadeur is an absolute stud, Travis Hunter is a dog and he'll pull in some solid recruits just by being Prime.
Now on the flipside let's not glorify every loss that they have like they're nothing. Colorado has made close to $100 million in revenue already, you read that correctly $100....million. Last year they were 1-11, they won 1 game against a bad Cal team and 10 out of their 11 loses they lost by more than 20 points. The fanbase will be happy with a fuckin 5-7 team this year, they're currently 3-2 and coming off a loss to USC where they came back in the second half and nearly pulled out the dub. They still have a lot of tough games left so we'll see how the rest of the year turns out. Let's not glorify every loss, let's not suck Coach Prime off after every win. Colorado isn't Georgia, Alabama, Oregon, Texas, Notre Dame they're not even close. Will they be one day? I can't say, I'm genuinely not smart but I can tell you this, if they win a National Title before Notre Dame I will lay down in the middle of the highway.
