I became a subscriber to your channel because I perceived you as fair-minded. I acknowledge the economic influence of Deion's impact, regardless of one's stance. My only request is for content creators to be committed to balance, fairness, and truth. These qualities will ultimately define the winners in this new era of college football and within the current social media landscape.

[@lindar02]

What would be your policy and taking?1-11 team One year to four wins the next year and six wins, which would be both eligible the second year. How would you get the players necessary to accomplish this? I’m asking JoshPate Tell me, could you do it in two years or less?

Dude, Max Olson and The Athletic did a hit job and totally lack editorial integrity. When Max (Nebraska Grad) showed up with his story to his Editor. The Editor should have said (if he didn’t know) “so only Colorad and Deion Sanders are cutting players in this portal thing” and the answer would be “no” And then the editor would have said, well we should cover a bigger swath of players and Universities to get a better understanding of the ramifications of the portal. It was a hit piece. Any professor in Journalism would agree that you would expand the search to get a fair and accurate understanding of the Portal.

[@LaytonFreeze]

That's actually incorrect. Take On3's Team Transfer Portal Index for example. This algorithm is used to determine if the school has improved its overall team talent, stayed the same, or declined during the transfer window. The Transfers Out average performance index is 65.39. The Transfers In average performance index is 73.59. The players that left last season was ranked somewhere in the 40s. That was upgraded to 65.39. So, Deion is actually getting better players as he goes. The question is how well can your staff utilize the talent? How much can Prime improve on game day decisions, etc? That's where the rubber meets the road. But Deion is getting better overall talent.

[@berylallen7800]

I’m a first time viewer and I just subscribed because I just loved your analysis of the “Colorado Experiment”. You are right on point. However the Experiment will be successful THIS SEASON because the whole thing is BUILT AROUND SHEDEUR BEING SUCCESSFUL! As long as he is protected and kept upright Colorado can compete with any program! HE’S JUST THAT GOOD, GREAT EVEN! That’s why the emphasis has been on beefing up the offensive linemen and bringing in great receivers, and running backs who can pass block! The big question that needs to be answered is: WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER SHEDEUR LEAVES? Will Coach Prime be able to replace Shedeur with another elite quarterback? Will Coach Prime stay at Colorado to begin program building and culture instead of a mercenary revolving door “program”? Can Coach Prime and his coaches mold and mesh together the transfers brought in into a team by September? STAY TUNED!!!

[@johncollins688]

I think this method requires an excellent coaching staff with very well thought out schemes across all positions. If almost every kid is new then no time for much hand holding and pep talks.

Josh, Max's piece lacked balance. It’s why CU fans know he’s biased. He failed to reference the article he wrote on May 19, 2022, before CP became a Power 5 coach. That article accurately forecasted what would unfold in college football, a prediction later echoed by Lincoln Riley. To truly understand the context of the anger of CU fans and the biased report, I urge you and your audience to read that article. It's titled "In college football's next roster-flipping era, new rules will only ramp up the turnover," published on May 19, 2022. Please do not mislead your audience.

[@melvinhillsman6113]

If it isn't a "gotcha" piece why use Xavier Smith's quote and a picture of Deion, why not use all the guys that gave an interview or one of the other guys' quotes and picture of Deion? Additionally, the portal has been around for years, Deion used it one year, where are the articles for all those guys who have not been heard or didn't/don't have a voice? What about the 35+ guys in other programs who don't have a voice? If it was about giving them a voice why not do it last year before fall camp, after fall camp, during the season, end of the year, over the holidays, early in January, after CFP, why after/during the current portal period?

[@deerobinson557]

That piece was written by a Nebraska alumni, and Nebraska hates Colorado, especially after 2001. NU was #1 in the country the last game of the season and CU put up 62 on them, the most ever scored on NU at the time, and knocked them out of the Big 12 Championship. They haven't been great since then.

Seems the cost of recruiting and signing 1 year players, just isn't cost effective.

[@ARMY-ep6fz]

People are living in alternative reality. They will be horrible once again. Maybe he should go recruit instead of refusing too.

[@MozartRice]

The only reason for trying this "Experiment" is because he had his son's and Travis for 2 years... He's trying to get these guys everything in a rush because of their eligibility clock. Once they leave I can see Deion going back to building an actual program and developing the players he is recruiting. He has no base to build on if you constantly have your freshman leaving the program. You build a program with your recruiting and fill in the spots with transfers. You don't replace your recruits with the portal dudes. That's counter productive and neglecting your actual resources and talent that you are trying to do hard to bring in

[@foosful]

If Colorado wins next year, they will have earned the right to be talked about. If they lose, though, I hope the talk is less.

[@deerobinson557]

People are still talking about LeBron, even though the Nuggets have beaten him 12 of the last 13 games, and 9 of those games were in the playoffs.

Deon sanders playing a weak schedule this year hurting Colorado

[@JayzeMayhem]

Keep the same energy wen the week 12 josh cause that's total disrespect saying CU football is a experiment no a football program if you actually watch the KZbin videos instead of a few clips they have a culture n good players but keep the same energy you been hating since the beginning

[@TheGreatMatty]

😂😂😂 Did you just say watch the KZbin videos. You can watch KZbin videos of any program and they’ll look good. You can’t turn your team over every year in an unestablished program. Bama, Georgia, Ohio State can. CU can’t and they have a long road. Until they’ll be even looked at close to those programs. Have fun with the 3-9 Season

[@JayzeMayhem]

@@TheGreatMatty i wonder why you feel Georgia, BAMA, Ohio state can do it but CU can never do it I know the reason but it's cool keep the same energy wen you see Sheduer and Travis in the NFL on a Sunday next year n saying CU goin 3-9 is just ignorant that's how Ik you mfs don't really pay attention or look at the schedule y'all jus don't like deion cause nobody had a problem wit CU till deion got there y'all jus don't like deion n it's obvious

No matter how he packaged this video, this is a hit piece plain and simple. Josh Pate is the same as all the other haters. They all want Colorado to fail under the direction of Coach Prime. And the insult is blatant…”It’s an experiment not a program”. Miss me with the passive hate. smh

[@dustinbowie2589]

So… the 1 win team was a “real program” bc they had “culture” right?? We can agree to disagree too, but you should put it on the line too. How many games do you predict they win next year? How many games do they have to win, for this “experiment” to be a success? And if it is a success, by your own standard, are you willing to admit it? I’ll be the first to congratulate you if you are right.

[@fleafarts3576]

Nebraska is going to pound Colorado this year in Lincoln. Book it.

[@deerobinson557]

@@fleafarts3576 Just like they did last year right? lmao. Nebraska lost 36 - 14. They didn't score their 2nd TD until there were seconds left in the game against 3rd team players. Cornhusker tears are the best!

[@KingTay74]

To all Deion Sanders haters he didn’t cut them players they was scared of competition and don’t want to be held accountable and want to be babied

[@JTSports]

Nahh bro he cut them folks😂 they couldn’t even get access to the facilities so technically they was cut.

[@seanakima50515e]

I dont think the question is, s it right, but it's whether is this sustainable. To win a national championship off of a revolving roster is going to be HARD, your guys dont know eachother, they dont know they playbooks in and out, they have to adjust to culture, no matter who you are if you are consistently replacing half of your roster every post season, how can you expect to take the next step? You arent developing players as you're getting them halfway if not fully developed from the portal, You're not recruiting well enough to have a sustainable roster with longevity in the back half of the season (10 guys a class should be unacceptable) We saw it last year they lost travjs, shedeur, and shiloh all at different points and there was a HUGE drop off from the next man up. This strategy will only win you 7 games max in my honest, unbiased opinion. When you run up against the Utahs, Kansas States, Oklahoma States, etc its gonna be tough to win.

[@airmane.9487]

The Big 12 as a conference hasn’t won a natty since 2006 so that doesn’t matter. A decade of the cfp has only produced Ou and texas in the playoff. It’s not a championship league this is why I don’t understand the criticism. They won four games with the worst oline I’ve ever seen if they block at all a bowl game is guaranteed. Just watch the oline that’s all I need to see

[@DKOBSpeaks]

The Athletic and Max Olsen don't have the courage to do this to a Michigan Ohio State Alabama or University of Texas. Corrupt journalism?

[@curtchesnutt4992]

Been traveling around the sun a while and I have never seen any organization with that kind of turnover build long term excellence. If this continues at Colorado, I would be surprised to see Deion sustain winning seasons. We will see...wish him but mostly those he leaves in the wake the best. Suspect all may end up drowning....

[@SellinNotOut]

`nope!

[@jaxs0004]

My man, you are not this naive. Like everyone else now, your channel has to be skipped. After being red shirted in dec, then starting opening day 5 weeks later without a word from a supposed “leader of men” in a coach…….all you ask for is an honest standing from a coach.

[@freeheeler00]

I just don't believe the odds are good that he'll pull off a great season unless you believe six wins is a great season.

[@deerobinson557]

They aren't playing in the PAC 12, this will be the Big 12 minus OU and TX. There are only two teams in the new Big 12 that have a winning record against Colorado, Utah and Arizona St., two former Pac 12 teams. Compared to last year, this year will be a cake walk. CU will win 9 at the very least.

[@oldschoolsaint]

Deion is a marketing genius. He's not a leader of young men. He's not a coach. He's about his brand and his brand only. This is who he is and has been for decades. Deion has bitten off more than he can chew. This marketing ploy will end in failure. No hate here. Just stating obvious facts.

[@chantymichelle]

Wow! Smh 😂

[@user-fq4zz8qu4o]

When they absolutely suck ass again this year, can we safely call Deion a shitty coach without being racist? Just asking

Counterpoint: I knew kids who got ROTC scholarships in college, then didn’t develop as students as well as expected. They lost their scholarships EVEN THOUGH they were still advancing towards their degrees and were in good standing at the university. It’s just a fact of life…don’t meet expectations, expect ramifications.

Dude, you can sound the alarm bells till the cows come home, but these Dieon stans are to far gone. And if you just bluntly tell them it's about to be a dumpster fire, then your a racist. I've just given up, but it will all hit them like a ton of bricks, when Dieon cuts ties at the end of this season, laughing all the way to the bank, millions richer, two kids with NFL contracts. and all his stans will suddenly realize they got played.

[@xantanatravels23]

3-9 this year. Deion isn’t building the offensive and defensive line. That’s how you win football

[@BigDeezi]

I am absolutely amazed at some of the things that come out of people mouths…. The audacity. One thing you said is for sure. It will be settle on the field. Colorado is gonna blow through the Big 12. It is every bit a good (Program) as any other school. It’s semipro. That’s the college landscape now. They’ve just embraced it. 12-0!

[@HWEWSWEW]

When they finished 2-10 are you going to admit you were wrong?

[@BenC-77]

It seems like Deion is doing the same thing that Lane Kiffin does, but on a much larger scale. This model will work for bowl games, but until it happens and Im proven wrong, i will say it is impossible for National Title chances. The Big 12 is only putting one team per year in the playoff and CU (at absolute best case) is the 4th best team, coming behind KansasST, Kansas, and OKST..and could even say fairly certainly that UCF and TexasTechare better "programs" with much beter teams top to bottom...that does not sat that CU will lose to all of them every year, but it is an objective truth that all five of those teams have the upperhand from roster construction and "inside the building" thought. I think CU is 5-7 to 7-5..
