It's funny you guys been doubting Deion since the season started. 3 weeks in and people still waiting for him to lose his 1st game.

 

This is supposed to be a Cinderella story. Any other coach does this they are viewed as the ultimate underdog. But because it's Deion we have to root against him.

 

I think we all know they aren't going undefeated. But you can't deny he's off to a hell of a start. Wait until he gets comfortable in the recruiting and transfer portal. This team will absolutely be competing for a Nat'l championship starting next year.

 

If you don't believe by now then shame on you.

 

I haven't seen many people rooting against Deion and CU.  Quite the opposite actually.  I know that I will be watching all their games and rooting for them big time.  Its a great story.  They MIGHT wanna tone the swag down a little bit though.  I mean, it was Week 3 and they have freaking Lil Wayne rapping them out the tunnel, after they were legit the worst team in the country before this year.

Take away the Prime Academy debacle and I'd feel a lot different. But Prime Academy plus going to the mat for HBCU just to move on at the first chance to do so? It just shows the true nature IMO.

I had actually never heard of Prime Academy until reading this thread.  Sounds an awful lot like the Bishop Sycamore model...

In 2012, the same persona who wrote a book titled Power, Money & Sex and starred in a reality TV show called Prime Time Love was planning on opening his own charter school in Dallas … fittingly called Prime Prep Academy. As a writer for the Dallas Observer, I joined a team chronicling his ambitious endeavor.

The scandal, fraud and mismanagement started before the doors even opened.

We learned that Deion’s co-founder, D.L. Wallace, was inexplicably being paid rent for a Prime Prep building that he didn’t own. When we approached Deion about the arrangement, he offered no rational reason and instead brushed us off with a patronizing “God bless you.”

Prime Prep’s application to the Texas Education Board was found to be plagiarized from another school. Along with promising students a “world class education,” the document also contained outright lies about securing hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from corporate giants Wal-Mart, Home Depot and NFL Network. When we contacted those companies, they were dumbfounded that Deion was even starting a school, much less about some pledge of financial assistance.

During its three-year run, Prime Prep was a series of embarrassments, including being ranked as the “worst academic institution in North Texas” by the non-profit, Children at Risk. Sanders was front and center, twice fired as football coach, accused of choking two employees and telling school administrators – on a tape recording – that he not only wanted a hefty pay raise but also a new job title: “HNIC.”

Prime Prep shuttered its doors in 2015 with less than an hour’s notice, leaving students without a school and employees without paychecks.

Said a TEB member upon the school’s closing, “Prime Prep will no longer be a financial lottery ticket for those who don’t care to understand how to educate children.”

To this day, some in Dallas mock Deion’s failed school as “Crime Prep.” Quite the legacy.

Two things regarding Travis Hunter (via ESPN)

One: Colorado is still saying that Hunter should only miss two games, not the three or four that Skip Bayless is claiming.

Two: The player who made the hit on Hunter has been getting death threats and had his family's address published online.

Yes, the hit was dirty, but that kind of sh-t s uncalled for 🤬

Skip Bayless just said Drake Maye was overrated. He was talking about how there is always a prospect that comes out of nowhere from a random school that gets overhyped. At the end of the segment he mentioned Drake Maye and Keshawn and Richard Sherman agreed with him.lol

 

 

@LinvilleGorge what do you say to this?

I don't pay any attention to professional trolls and would suggest everyone else to do the same.

    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
    • Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
