    LOL that's what I'm saying. Shame on him for doing the same exact thing several coaches do every year.

    He's walking behind them on their sideline. What kind of a$$hat does that? He deserved everything said to him. Hell, the clown outfit he was wearing to coach a game deserved ridicule.

    he actually was walking on the side of his field towards the sideline. ASU kids were actually in the corner but that was the JSU side of the end zone. Rewatch the video again and if you think cursing out a coach is acceptable for kids to be doing, that’s we’ll….yea I disagree let’s just say that

    Kids
    cursing at adults at any time is low class but Dion is the epitome of low class.

    He did shake his hand, but he didn't hug him.

    You do realize that he skipped all of his classes his final year, but still played.

    I'll remember this sentiment the next time I see our fans crying about opposing fans in the stands or players cursing UF fans/players. The way some of you throw out civility and dignity as long as its directed towards someone you don't like is very amusing but not surprising.

    Sounds like a routine privilege that superstar athletes at most D1 programs were granted

    Stop. IF Napier were traipsing thru the middle of the other teams pregame I wouldn't defend his actions. Of course no responsible coach would ever do anything so ridiculous

    "ever skipped class"? Lol, do you have any idea of the scope of his skipping class at FSU? He didn't go, period.

    Judging by how his life/career turned out, I'd say it worked out for him.

    There's a brilliant retort....so you are in favor of the kids not attending classes? Sanders succeeeded because he was gifted special athleticism. There are countless incredibly successful athletes that are not exemplary off the field. Excusing his FSU academic travesty is at best a horrible example for all student athletes.

    Is that what I said? Deion not only encourages his kids to go to class, he has strict rules for when they go to class, telling them to sit in front row, not wear wife beaters/sleeveless shirts, and threatening them with punishment if he hears they're screwing around in class. So clearly this 55-year old man has matured from the 20-year old kid who didn't see the value in going to class, but for some reason some of you are stuck paying attention to his actions in 1980s when he was a kid in college. Very weird.

    This Too Hot member needs to start his own Deion thread over there where he can wallow in the sewer.

    It’s amazing- I have but a single, solitary GC user blocked so I can see nothing of what he posts but I can always tell when he has derailed a thread.

    It's pretty obvious the Neon Deion Fan Club president is just trying to get this thread locked. It's rightfully critical of Sanders. Looks like most already have him blocked, just like @GatorToTheEnd said.

    Speaking of undeserved attention and much ado about nothing, this thread is 7 pages long about two nothing teams and a nothing confrontation after the game. Please pass the popcorn.

    You somehow defended it as "skipping class".......don't be all mad when you get called out for a ludicrous statement
