OT: Colorado to retire jersey numbers of Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders

Wonder if this was part of Primes contract language. If he’s not the coach there’s no way this goes down (maybe in 10-20 years if one/both have great NFL careers).

What’s crazy is there are guys more deserving on their NC team who also had NFL careers.
 
Rashaan Salaam broke 2,000 yards and won the Heisman, and should have played for the national championship...and took over 20 years to get his jersey retired.

Sanders and Hunter go 9-4 and lose their bowl game, and get the same treatment before the next season? Kind of cheapens the process, don't you think?
 
Shadeur Sanders in the Colorado HOF and no Kordell Stewart is a travesty.

Not a Travisty Hunter - he belongs in.

Two top 10 finishes. 11-1 as a senior. One of the arguably greatest finishes in college football history with the Hail Mary against Michigan.

Colorado is a joke.

Absurd, even by today's generally bizarre set of standards.
I listen to CO sports radio as a Broncos fan. Interesting inflection point here as he’s getting tons of pushback from CU fans and alumni. Deions typical response is to tell anyone who’s not 100% on board w him to pound sand. He’s going to be putting a lot more pressure on himself with his new extension and now this. As is usual if he wins all will be forgotten but if he goes 6-6 it isn’t going to be fun.

Neon Deion has his own cult-like following and no matter what he says or does, people will support it. Its disgusting. I had a coworker go the last game Colorado had against WSU in Pullman where she bought and wore CU gear. I asked her why she was doing that and her response is that she loves Deion Sanders. I rolled my eyes in disgust and told her that we were going to roll up on CU. Thankfully, the Cougs didn't disappoint and I got to rub it in her face.
 
Say what you will, Deion turned the program around not only on the field, but in the class room too. The football team's GPA is now at an all time high, despite the NIL era. If he was behaving white and wasn't offending your white man's "sensibilities" you'd be praising him for the remarkable turn around he accomplished. It time to put the black animus under tone to bed, its 2025 for god sake.

Beat me to it. I’m no Deion fan the way he self markets, but he does seem to keep the kids focused on school and football. I recall a video where he was telling his team if they assault a woman there are no second chances…something to that effect. Certainly respectable nowadays where it seems coaches of most major programs don’t care if their kids are causing problems off the field as long as they are producing on saturdays.

I am a huge Prime fan as a coach.

Retiring jersey numbers from transfer players who didn’t win a championship? I’m having trouble understanding this logic.

Why did you go straight to race? CU is kissing Deion's azz because he makes their school popular which is the ONLY reason why they are retiring their numbers. Just ask Blender's sunglass company how they're doing with him wearing their ish. Overall, I like Deion and the way he runs things but the amount of attention his kids are getting is on par with Lil Bronnie. I don't wish ill will towards them but I have a hard time believing they'll have anywhere near the success his father had in the NFL.
