I just meant the godawful performance during their walkout. I know wayne has toured the facility during the offseason and whatnot.

If im not mistaken Lil Wayne has a deal with FoxFS1.

 

Im assuming that was a favor for Deion. He seems to be a regular on Undisputed now.

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.

Yep. HBCU was really important to Deion at that time because Deion happened to be coaching at an HBCU. Now he's strutting around Boulder looking like Lil Nas X.

He strikes me as one of those heroes that you're better off not meeting.

[Mr. Scot]

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

Go take a look at Florida's staff if you wanna laugh. They've got as many coaches as players. I wish I was joking.

When all else fails I still can count on Prime!

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.
