    I think it's far more likely that TCU is going to be historically bad on defense this year than it is Colorado is going to actually be a legit threat.

    You're 1000% correct! I just read your post and totally agree. There are a lot of kids from HBCUs and other small colleges with talent that go unseen.

    Recently, I heard Nick Caserio on Sports 610am after the Texans cuts state that there over 1k players got cut before the NFL deadline and that there were s many, that he didn’t know all of them..l

    The way modern technology is today and with the staff he has, I find that insulting.

    Im dating myself but there was an independent NFL Scout named Joel Buschbaum in the 80's and 90's, John McClain did an article on him once, he had one computer and he knew everything about every draftable player.

    Point is, you never know where talent is.

    Shots fired.

    Nobody can ever say that Mack doesn't care about the players, he's been that way for a long, long time.

    uhh Travis Hunter isn't some diamond in the rough/unknown player that was at Jackson St. He went there bc of Deion after he flipped his commitment to FSU and followed him to Colorado. The #1 rated recruit in the country last year who got offers from like 20 of the top schools in the nation, including the bama's, georgia, florida, clemsons. is as known of a commodity as you can get.

    No doubt the media is scared of Deion.

    I don’t care one way or the other but the UNC AD made a great point - the rules allow for schools to take 50+ transfers (Colorado), a QB to be playing at his 4th school in 6 years (Rice), and a 34 year old K who graduated in 2011 (Virginia) but don’t allow for Tez to be eligible.

    How does JT Daniels get to be on his 4th team? Is "I keep getting benched because I suck" a valid reason to transfer and get an exemption?

    Nebraska QB is a total disaster. He's handed Colorado 13 points so far, after 3 TO last week and handing Minny the game winning FG.

    How in the hell did Matt Rhule pick this guy over Casey Thompson?

    It feels like a lot of media were critical of Deion and Colorado before the TCU upset (is that even an upset now?). Deion’s postgame **** on them. Now they’re all on the bandwagon.
