Jackson Mitchell, UConn’s best defender, just got ejected on the absolute SOFTEST targeting penalty I’ve ever seen in my life. Good lord.

I actually like that he’s disrupting the old boys network. The hype train is just too fast for me. It’s like a new song that you like ok until you’re forced to listen to it 9000 times in a week.
Your take is like a “great man” theory of history which may be right. A case could be made that he is taking the most advantage of the disruption caused by systemic changes in NCAAF (transfer rules and NIL deals). Probably a little bit of both. I see him as less of a disruptor and more of a guy that is tailor made to exploit the disruption to the system.

Dumb play by Colorado #55. They had the receiver stuffed to bring up 4th down and he knocks down an OL away from the play.

It will be fascinating if Shadeur hangs around in Boulder another year. I’m sure he can get a ton of NLI money but he’s trending way up the draft board. Does he hang around? Does he force his dad to get him an offensive line? I guess Hunter isn’t draft eligible this spring so maybe that has some impact.

He's got a lot of season ahead of him. Still, that being said; he sticks around with dad. He's already got a ton of money.

The Oregon coach was on Sportcenter last night and I was really impressed by him because every question was about Deion and Colorado. He just talked about his own team and program and stayed cool.

Clemson and hopefully Bama fans maybe now know what it feels like to be USWNT fans. The field has caught up.

As we all know, reality is going to set in very quickly for "Coach Prime".
Van Lathan had a good comment on Simmons pod about the Colorado/Coach Prime bandwagon--which was something like, "If you're going to get off after their first loss, you might as well get off now, because his team isn't headed for a 12-0 season." Which is to be expected, given how terrible they were last season. So just enjoy them for what they are.
