I still believe! They will get it together and get through this. This too shall pass. Coach Prime I’m here for you. ❤🎉❤

[@Poppin_off_with_panos]

I think they were fucked the second the media started giving them all this attention, now even the bench warmers have IG models in their dms, these aren’t 5 stars at UGA they aren’t used to this level of attention

[@369PennState]

@@Poppin_off_with_panos , I really believe it’s lots of jealousy in various areas going on in the camp. Jealousy is an UGLY EVIL! A house divided can not stand.

[@Poppin_off_with_panos]

@@369PennState I think it’s definitely too small of a program from prime, it will be a lot easier when he’s Coaching A&M or Florida in 2 or 3 years. Plus there won’t be the issue of favoritism towards his sons which some players might have an issue with

[@rislingpodiumperformance]

This is where you see the difference between the generations. The athletes of today get sidetracked way to easily and its the fault of the times and technology of today however they have more opportunity than ever to make bank. Prime was 1 of 1

[@jacklyneverage3881]

Stop blaming the team for Coach Sanders and his coaches being bad coaches.

[@sweetrose19]

I told people, Deion is not going to thrive in Colorado like he did in Jackson State.

[@RockyLiftz]

Imagine being the blame after going for 400 yards & 5 TDS😂😂 Shedeur can handle the spotlight but I do understand it may efffect his teammates who aren’t used to it

[@RockyLiftz]

@@madisynissaquah243 yeah because the defense gave up 46 points in a half. Some basketball teams don’t even manage to get 46 in a half.

[@RockyLiftz]

@@madisynissaquah243 listen in any football game 43 point should be enough to win. It doesn’t matter when the points come in. That amount of point should be far more than enough

@@thepostfk Travis, if he continues this and gets heavier he’s going to start having issues. There’s a reason distance runners are light and lean. Unfortunately, to continue going both ways, he’ll need to bulk up and get stronger for the defending portion. Idk if that’s healthy for someone going both ways

[@clottadams5028]

Doubt that Deion stays for very long after Shilo and Sheduer get drafted for NFL. If he dislikes the schedule he gets now with Colorado in PAC-12, wait till next year when the Buffs are in the BIG-12 and have to play in Cincy on a Thursday night. If Deion can maintain the ratings he's getting now when they have to play Baylor, UCF, or Houston, then hats off to him. I doubt it.

[@geraldrhoden702]

I think Deion is doing a good job based off of how long he's been there.

[@bryanford7637]

Let me tell ya something else...If I played on a team (texas tech) and my QB, bought a Rolls Royce...I would transfer. If for nothing else, dont flaunt my hard work for your benefit, it takes 11 guys. This aint tennis!

Well spoken Stephen A. Smith ! Well Spoken.

[@jacklyneverage3881]

No it's not. He's protecting Deion's reputation by throwing that biy under the bus.

[@needtocomment]

This man’s employer is part of the problem. ESPN was begging for time with Shedeur, Travis Hunter, and other Buffs since after their week 1 win. The network had a whole segment asking Shedeur and Travis to make the Heisman case for the other…after week 1! Of course the attention might go to their heads. Coach Prime (although I understand he wants their NIL money to grow) needs to instill a media blackout and have those kids concentrate on ball only for a few weeks
