    They shouldn't have a problem with colo state. Oregon and usc vs the buffs may be interesting.

    This week's slate of games is what's wrong with college football. Sadly, if we were the program we used to be GameDay would be in Gainesville this week as there are no intriguing matchups and a bunch of lower division matchups like ours yesterday. I had to look because I didn't see why Colorado state vs Colorado was worth a visit as the matchups you mention would be GameDay worthy if Colorado continues their course. Just seemed premature until I looked up the schedule for the week. Nothing going on so they follow the deion hype.

    Fox's Big Noon Kickoff will also be in Boulder. When was the last time both shows were at the same regular season game?

    BNK was scheduled to be in Illinois for the Penn St game but decided to stay in Boulder to follow the Buffs. They are also bringing in special guest Rob Gronkowski.

    That message he said, if broadcast and championed enough, could do far more good than anything he’ll ever do on the sideline of a football field, imho. It is so needed now, I personally loved hearing him say it!

    Yea I think the thinking is that they wanted to capture this Deion hype in Boulder while it’s still going strong. The better matchup would be CU at Oregon the following week.

    He coached Little league, High School, Conference USA. Scoff if you will at Little League and H.S., but the experiences count. He worked his way up from the bottom which is supposed to be an American ideal. I helped you keep the politics out of it.

    There is a big disconnect between prime the entertainer/media personality and coach Deion the mentor.
    Yes he is a confident, brash and over the top personality. He also seems to be a great family man, a man of faith and leader of young men.

    His own kids all seem well educated and good citizens. He has a player on his team he has been mentoring since he was four, Edwards.

    There is a video in an another thread where he speaks about being a father to his children not a baby daddy and how he is proud of how his children have grown and are becoming their own persons.

    This video really changed the way I viewed Deion back in ‘22.

    Maybe it is because he lives in Tallahassee?

    I went looking for proof that Deion didn't care about player academics. Instead, I saw Shedeur was 3.9 in high school. Color me intrigued.

    Can they be at The Swamp and in Colorado at the same time?

    Yep. That’s why I say Colorado could sneak into the BCS this year. There is Sanders and then you have Hunter who was the #1 overall recruit out of the ‘22 class. Plus some other very good skill players.

    I would much rather have SEC Nation... win, win. Best announcers and the best game day show.
