Kordell Stewart doesn’t have his number retired. He won two bowl games and finished in the top 10 twice. But he wasn’t the coach's son. 🤷‍♂️

CU press release headline says jersey retirement. First paragraph mention their numbers.

Jersey retirement and Number retirement are completely different things.

All the chyrons I see on TV say jersey retirement but all their commentary is number retirement.
 


The whole cult of Deon is so off to me. When put in perspective to the 90s Dan McCarney teams, this looks so bad.

Hunter being a great two way player is a different story, but this Sanders mess shits all over what he has done.

If I were a Colorado fan trying to see the momentum build I can see the appeal, but no.

I mean clearly he will get his number retired as well.....you aren't trying to imply that Deion is showing some kind of favoritism towards his son are you? Shadeaur Sanders is a college football legend who will be remembered forever for his..........I mean because he......well he won.......hmmmm....almost like the only real reason this is happening is because he is the coaches kid.....strange.... :)

Whatever McCarney built has been gone for a long time. Colorado was at rock bottom. IIRC we beat them 30-0 at their stadium, followed by a 49-7 thrashing that could have been 49-0 if not for a garbage time TD. That happened prior to coach Sanders arrival. Love him or hate him, he is selling hope to their fanbase.

Remember how much Kill was loved after Brewster? Heck, even Brewster was loved for a few minutes after Mason had grown stagnant and got fired. Much of that love for Kill was due to hope in having a head coach that was/ is competent.

Point being that it is normal for fanbases to have excitement about their program if they feel that there is hope. IMHO it will come down to whether or not coach Sanders will be able to pull in top notch talent to continue its ascent, or will the program go backwards? We all know that fans will grow tiresome if the program goes backwards.
