    I'm not defending anyone, I am NOT a closet Nole, I just despise sore losers. When you get your butt kicked, shake hands with the opposing coach like a man and set a good example for your players. Then again Eddie Robinson's players were the ones who were cursing out the opposing coach before the game (something you continue to overlook) so I guess I can't say I expect much from him as a coach.

    Yeah . . . each week we see SEC head coaches with their own private film crews filming their every step . . . we see those same SEC head coaches arrogantly walk through the other team's warm-up and then have their own private PR releases justifying it . . . we see SEC head coaches making everything all about them and claiming THEY sold-out the stadiums . . . we see SEC head coaches wearing @CoachSaban or @CoachSmart or @CoachKiffin or @CoachLeech or @CoachWhatever on their backs. Why doesn't Coach Napier do these things? Oh yeah. Because, thankfully, NONE of the other coaches across the country do it. Except one.

    Enough that he only filmed HIS walk out with the camera focused squarely on the "@CoachPrime" on the back of his shirt. I mean sure he could and may very well care but he is showing us who he wants to promote 1st..... it's all about coach prime, been that way, that's his character, been that way forever, shit its his personality that has paid the bills for him post playing career, it got him his analyst job, it got him his 3 different reality TV shows and it got him where he is now. And again I don't care about their little tiff they had but you can't instigate and ruffle feathers and then act like you don't know why they mad.

    Show me one legit coach who films his solo walk out while wearing a shirt with their @Nickname and nothing else, no team mascot, name or nuttin. And then when you name that coach who does that does he also refer to himself in the 3rd person during interviews?

    I had no problem with what Eddie Robinson Jr. Said post game. He was actually very complimentary of Sanders, as a player, his career, said everybody wanted to be Primetime as a kid, complimented his team, the coaching job he has done so far, absolutely gushed over his son QB Shedeur Sanders, even saying he should be in the Heisman discussion. Pics even show coach Robinson fully extending his hand for a shake but he just simply said , he'll always be respectful but don't go trying to give him the bro hug when yall weren't friends to start and werent even cozy before the game with the back and forth all week. I'm willing to bet if Bama St. Had embarrassed Jackson St. Thos week Deion would not be lining up to give coach Robinson a Hug.

    Honor, respect, good sportsmanship and integrity. Those are qualities that that carry a diminished value in todays world.
    Deion Sanders is arrogant, self centered, egocentric, and will bend rules to win. But he will never be standing in the unemployment line.
    It’s kind of sad to this old guy.

    Always get a laugh at people constantly referring to themselves in the third person.

    You're missing the biggest point, had he not been in their space to begin with then NONE of that would have even occurred. I get he has a "Routine" of doing the one man pre game victory lap but if you show up late as hell like he said then you missed your opportunity to run Your "routine" as you normally would. Common Courtesy says just bc you are running late that doesn't permit you to tread all over their space when you're finally ready.

    For every action there's an equal or greater reaction. There is no way what Prime did would have been perceived as anything other than disrespectful, even if he didn't Intend it to be(doubtful) he had to have known that that's a general No no unless you trying purposely rike up the team, not tonmention he marched straight thru the middle of them like they were in his way.

    Name another time an opposing member of a team who marched right thru the other teams warm-ups with his personal camera man filming and it isnt taken as disrespect? and he don't one time stop to be cordial with anybody but to basically stunt on them because he is by far the most famous man on that field. If it were anyone else you would say that player didn't belong in the middle of the other teams warmups.. especially with a cameraman filming, but because it's deion he can show up late and March his security and camera man right thru the middle of the other teams warm ups. I'm perplexed how you don't see that as an intentional shot of disrespect. Regardless if it was warranted because of previous back and forth or not. What he did was done because he wanted to.

    You're defending players dropping the f-bomb on an opposing coach. I know for a fact if Auburn, LSU, Bama, UGA etc players dropped the f-bomb to Coach Billy Napier during pregame warmups, regardless of what Coach Napier did to rile them up, there would be none of this "Yeah, but, um, see, uh" rationalization. There would be a lot of folks calling those players "thugs" and other terms. Since you're finding ways to justify that, I think we're done here.

    He shook his hand, he wasn't willing to hug him. I don't blame him. Ironic that a man notorious for skipping classes is now in charge of kids who are required to attend class. Hard to trust a leader whose behaviors are the very same he expects his kids' to be different.

    Yeah, because I'm sure no current college head coach ever skipped class back when they were student-athletes.

    His assistant coaches, players and their parents trust his leadership just fine, and quite frankly that's all that matters.

    How many coaches have a rule named after them for their academic behaviors as a student? Furthermore, you might want to take your ass over to Whorechant with the rest of academic rejects. And FYI, Sanders just didn't skip a class or two. He skipped entire semester while still playing.

    Sooooo he's like a number of other college football head coaches? How dare he do the job he was hired to do well and leave for a better opportunity? The nerve...

    Everyone can't be a trendsetter like Deion.

    As long it's not something harmful or illegal, I couldn't care less what someone did 35 years ago.
