\u201cWe\u2019re still searching for an identity,\u201d Coach Prime said after his squad dropped a second-straight game to a top-10 foe.<\/p>\n

No nothing. Their coaches did a heck of a job preparing their team. Obviously, we didn\u2019t. I mean, that was a really good, old-fashioned butt=kicking.\u201d Read more…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CU Buffs have long way to go to match Oregon, USC up front.

It translates in practice \u2026 I don\u2019t say stuff just to say it, for clicks, contrary to what some may say, and yeah I keep my receipts. But I am serious, I analyze and I understand what we\u2019re up against (and) what we have and what we need.<\/p>\n \u201cOne thing that I could say, honestly and candidly (is), you better get me right now. This is the worst we gonna be.\u201d<\/p>\n CU Buffs coach Deion Sanders condemns death threats toward CSU Rams\u2019 Henry Blackburn<\/strong><\/p>\n BOULDER — Coach Prime had a firm and direct message to fans and social-media posters who’ve thrown death threats at CSU Rams safety Travis Blackburn: Stop.<\/p>\n “Whatever it was (in the game), it does not constitute that he should be receiving death threats,” Buffs football coach Deion Sanders said at his weekly news conference. “He does not deserve a death threat over a game. At the end of the day, this is a game.” Read more…<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not new to this, I\u2019m TRUE 2 THIS!

They want the attention and love they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n Keeler: We believe, Coach Prime. Beat Nebraska, the rest of the world will believe in CU Buffs, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 After working over the Horned Frogs like Joe Louis, Coach Prime worked the scribes like Muhammad Ali.<\/p>\n Deion Sanders, 1-0, leaned into the microphone, his best friend for decades, and read the receipts he\u2019d been keeping for months. Loud and proud.<\/p>\n \u201cYou said this. You said that,\u201d Sanders chuckled after his Buffs stunned No. 17 TCU, and the free world,\u00a0with a 45-42 win\u00a0at Amon G.

How is it grown-ups get mad at the players when the colleges are chasing it?\u201d<\/p>\n While Sanders is comfortable in the knowledge that his Buffs stayed one step ahead of the storm that blew through the Pac-12 and left it for rubble, there\u2019s no doubt in my mind that the beginning of the end of the league was when CU joined it a dozen years ago, when the revolutionary notion of monster conferences was in its infancy.
