I’m rooting for as well, I’ll make a comparison for you, not sure you will like it but here it goes.

Remember when Steve Spurrier took over at UF and other coaches and fans hated him for needling them.

Deion is a modern-day version of Spurrier, except he’s black and wears the bling and talks the language of kids in 2023. A lot of other coaches and fans are going to hate him, while he beats their ass, when he does lose a game, the taunts will be loud, it goes with the territory, Deion is good for the game, despite all the bling and language, he’s an old school football coach.

My personal comparison is to Jim Harbaugh - same meteoric rise in the college coaching ranks. Harbaugh went on to dramatic success in his NFL career before idiotic 49ers management forced him out, but that's another story. Harbaugh also didn't have a son with NFL potential playing for him.

Colorado did a great job! ... against unranked TCU. Bama did a great job! ... against unranked Middle Tennessee State. Longhorns did a great job! ... against unranked Rice.

If Colorado beats Oregon and USC then I'll count them as worthy of the obscene hype they've gotten since Saturday. Until then IMHO they deserve only a reasonable amount of praise for beating a somewhat tough but unranked TCU.

Blasphemy. Comparing SOS to Deon is assinine. And only a very few coaches did not like Spurrier. Mostly it was rivals at UT, FSU and UG.

And Deon hasn’t won jack.
