They're not wrong in that sentiment.

But it's also on Colorado. Coaches shouldn't even be allowed to be involved in things of that nature.

I wonder if there is a part of Coach Sanders that wishes Shedeur had a less impactful college career so that retiring his son’s number would upset more people and attract more attention.

They were living in worse than mediocrity prior to Prime.

This is what I’m saying. In the previous 18 years they were 70 games below .500. Mediocrity is a BLESSING to the University of Colorado.

TH deserved it, Shedeur not so much.

I’d bet they get “unretired” when Prime departs.

The funniest thing leading up to tonight’s draft was when Deion and his kid were acting like they were going to determine where they went in the Top 5! 😂

Trying to pull the ol Archie Manning move with a QB nobody really wants that bad is hilarious.

If Colorado doesn’t celebrate their mediocrity, they’ll have nothing to celebrate. Their best quarterbacks are Kordell Stewart, Koy Detmer, and Joel Klatt.

You don’t get to complain about the quality of Sanders and Hunter. Get real.

Sanders went 13-12 at colorado with 0 bowl wins and no awards. There are members of a national championship winning team with nothing. Get real

swaffordaustin.bsky.social•2 days ago

They were 5-19 in the 2 years before Sanders got there. Before 2024, they had ONE winning season in 18 years, a span in which they went 73-142.

I’m not defending Sanders. I’m saying Buffs need to get real about where their program’s at
