Deion bans color red in football facility

[highwayman]

Even though he’s a crazy, narcissistic, toeless self-promoter, I like the idea.

Keeler: Deion Sanders banned the color red inside CU Buffs’ football facilities? Nebraska Week can’t get here soon enough.

Deion Sanders re-wrote the CU Buffs rulebook with a blowtorch and a jackhammer. But there was one commandment, sacred and true, that he left untouched.

It's a little weird to still carry a huge rivalry with a team you have played 2 times in 12 years. Sounds like it's been a rule since the Big XII days.

It's like having a hate-shrine in your house for your ex from a decade ago

Preparing for nebraska's move back to the Big 12.

Are you speaking from experience?

I graduated from CU and it doesn't appear odd to me in the least. If you understand the hate in that rivalry, it was/is similar to our feelings about Wisconsin. The thing is, I don't think anybody would actually wear red there anyway. Definitely more of a PR move.

We should have the same rules.

Commies east of the border. Hatred runs red.

Doesn't everybody?

I hope PJ bans red from the facilities as well!

Or make everything red to the point that they hate red.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

for all the coverage he's generated, Deion still has to put a competitive team on the field, or the media will lose interest in him very quickly.

I've seen people predicting a 1- or 2-win season for the Buffs. and looking at their schedule, there are no gimmes on there. Colorado State is probably the "easiest" game on paper, with the other non-conf games against TCU and Nebraska - and then the last go-round in the Pac-12 facing USC, Oregon, Washington, etc.

Really interesting to spend this much focus on a non conference opponent currently scheduled to play twice before 2038

an ex implies a past relationship. Buncha Lucky guys/gals in here.

EXACTLY!

Go "High Plains Drifter" mode.

Sounds like the origins of "dartboard material".

Thanks OJ

 

[Vandy]

Is there any way that BOTH of those teams can lose the opener?

Same for Mizzou fans. Hate Nebraska.

Seems like good fun to me, the stuff college football used to be about.
