Most games are lopsided. My games this season 11-3, 14-9, 12-6 in penalties. Games were all close games. The officials do not care who wins. They do like good games, just not OT games.

What is the beef with this guy? Did I miss him do something like a Big 10 state school coach would do?

I don't mind him, but can definitely see how he could rub people the wrong way with the trash talk etc. I do think there are also people out there that dislike his approach and what it will do to college football, essentially treating it like an NFL team and firing kids. But I think we've mostly been headed down that road for a while anyway.
The one thing that makes me roll my eyes a little bit is he does have that annoying personality trait where he intentionally stirs stuff up and then acts annoyed/bewildered that people are talking about or reporting on the stuff he intentionally stirred up.
Like some of his quotes after this week's game were (paraphrasing, I don't remember the exact quotes) "I don't know why people keep talking about this stuff, we're just trying to play football". That's obviously totally disingenuous. He's definitely leaning into and enjoying all the off the field antics and trash talk. He also had a quote this week that was something like "I could be petty, but I was raised to be better than that" or something to that effect, with this coming like 10 days after he went on a big rant about how he was "keeping receipts" and starting reciting quotes from the offseason and calling out people by name that didn't think the season would go well.
I think the team is fun, but mostly because his son and Hunter are super exciting to watch play football.
ETA: The "I don't know why people keep talking about this stuff" was in response to a question about the post-game handshake with Norvell, after earlier in the week he'd said "when we shake hands at the end of the game, keep the cameras rolling" with a smirk. So yea, pretty cheeky to talk trash about what was going to go down during the post game handshake earlier in the week, and then act put-off that he was being asked about the post-game handshake after.

We have. But.......
What he did isn't going to happen very often (if ever again) to that degree, though, as most coaches that take over horrid programs won't be able to bring in the level of new talent he has.
The amount of pearl-clutching over the way Sanders has started his career at Colorado amuses me no end. A little Deion goes a long way with me, but I love watching a bunch of hide-bound hypocrites have vapors over the way he does things. Sanders won't have to roster-flip going forward because he's gonna be bringing in Top 20 recruiting classes.

oh you mean like, Danny Kanell?
Someone else helpfully points out:
Took Twitter about 4 seconds to be like:
Oh, you mean this Pick 6 that ended Danny Kanell's career?
And this wasn't Deion. This was just Twitterverse, searching the history of anyone who badmouths him.
And people keep doing it!! Geez, Kanell, did you really need to drop that Boomer take while the game was still going on? It doesn't matter if CO St played them tough, and that was the point of the tweet. All people remember is the furious dunk on you.

I'd sit him 4 weeks. They were going to lose to Oregon and USC anyways, so this doesn't really hurt them. And they likely can beat Stanford and Arizona State without him. Then they have a BYE week.
They're likely going 2-2 with or without him, so give him the 6 weeks to fully heal before the massive UCLA game.

Oregon covering against Prime Time this week?

I can see that. They have been holding out RB Alton McCaskill so far even though he was been pushing to play. Rumors have been he plays this week against Oregon.
Awful.
Sanders eye poke? https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/1703252324397810064?s=20

Did something happen to all the FSU starters that the line is only 2.5 points? Been out of pocket the last couple weeks. What's the deal?

Think it’s a response to the poor effort against BC. I thought I saw a line a week or 2 ago that was -6.

That Oregon line is going to bait a lot of ML action.

I'm not a big bettor, but this seems like a pretty safe one if everyone for FSU is healthy.
Of course, I also thought Alabama would handle Texas, but clearly they aren't what I thought they were.

Line down to FSU -2...I was actually considering Clemson. I think they are better than many think, especially on D.I'm not a big bettor, but this seems like a pretty safe one if everyone for FSU is healthy.

The schtick is actually a bit dangerous......if you go onto the big social media outlets there's a lot of people calling other people haters/racists/bigots even if they just say ducks are gonna beat the buffs. I think a lot of the prime bandwagon does not understand competitive college football fans......and/or don't understand talent/depth/homefield advantage, etc.

After 1 qtr he is Wisconsins leading passer (2/4), leading rusher (4/21), and leading receiver (1/19). Also impressive I guess but maybe not a great sign for the Badgers.

The rest of the offense needs to catch up for sure.

I think ND/tOSU comes down to five positions on both sides today : 2 DTs, 3 interior OL.
Both teams aren’t getting great QB pressure and these offenses are too good to let them sit back and pick you apart. ND wants to run, so if they win the push up front, that’ll be huge.
ND’s interior DL has been disappointing thus far. If they can’t step up, Golden will start to blitz and that’ll leave Harrison or Egbuka 1:1.

I think that's what he prefers shrug, his twitter title or whatever it's called says COACH PRIME. But I get where you are coming from
Wonder if he'll downplay his kids tearing up the Oregon logo yesterday

That's one way for the Noles to flip the game on its head.

I was photographing a high school game here in Podunk, PA and saw a kid wearing a Colorado hoodie with PRIME underneath the CU logo.
