WOW!
Great speech and from the heart. How can someone not wanna run thru a wall after this.
That is the thing that separates the greats from the average ones.
March, 1991. I am stage manager for an early morning SportsCenter during March Madness. One day Rick Pitino was there. Show is over and we start talking. By the time he was done I was all ready to run thru a wall for him. I understand how he can recruit and motivate young kids the way he does because he "owned" me that day.

Prime Time desiring nationwide Prime Time, not just Pac 12
Colorado coach Deion Sanders criticizes Pac-12's late kickoff times: 'Do they even care about ratings?'

May have to change heading to recruit after game with stanford. Up 29-0 at midfield, 4th and two went for it instead of punted. 17 penalties, Took the ball first in overtime which is definitely negative. Could have ran on 3rd with the intent to go for it with 3 min left(stan with 1to.) on 4th. Would have gone for it on 4th to end game when your defense was horrible in the 2nd half. Even a punt down to the 1 couldnt stop stanford. What a collapse.

I said the same thing to Stanford as I did to Colorado State in OT. When you give up a TD and then score to make it a 1-point game....GO FOR 2 AND THE WIN!
CSU made that mistake and lost. The Trees made that mistake - but won.
When you are the worst team - and on the road - if you get the ball 2nd in OT and score to pull within 1 you go for 2, 100% of the time. That is your best chance to win - especially since starting in 2OT you gotta go for 2 anyway.

The turn of events in this game does not take away from the season the Buffs are having….without Sanders Colorado would be headed for another horrible season…these games this year are growing pains…

Yeah they went over their win total for the season in just 6 games. Before the season talk of a bowl game was ludicrous.

Didn't matter but taking the ball to start OT is stupid.

I was one of the non believers who played them Under their win total, the bet was pretty much lost after the first game. I honestly don't know how good of a coach he is, I know his kid can play, and that Hunter guy is a monster, too early to tell how good of a coach he is, but considering how dormant Buffs football has been (not counting the shortened Covid year, they haven't had a winning record since 2016), I can understand the excitement he brings, and kids will want to play for him, need a couple years to judge him as a coach. They need two more wins to become bowl eligible, looking at their schedule, it's gonna be tough to get those two wins IMO, but I wouldn't count him out

It DID matter, very much so in fact! And yes, it was stupid. Very stupid.
It is similar to the advantage that the home team in baseball has when they bat last at the end of the game. You have the advantage of knowing what your opponent has already done, you know if you need a touchdown or a field goal to win, and you can adjust your strategy accordingly.
After that interception in the second overtime, Stanford KNEW all they needed was a field goal to win the game, and played conservatively to set it up.
Now reverse the situation: if Colorado knows that all they need is a field goal to win, QB would not have tossed the horrible jump ball in the end zone that got intercepted. They would not have a risked a throw, and settled for a short field goal.
It’s a classic example of EXACTLY why you let your opponent go first in a situation like that.

good decison to take the ball 1st in OT, they needed to change the momentum, defense was tired from being on field entire 2nd half, and they defense could not make a stop, and them scoring proved that it was correct decision. what the wrong decision was was SHEdur back peddling 15 yards and throwing up for grabs off balance and wrong foot.
The second OT was Stanford's choice so Prime's decision didn't matter. It was the first OT where the mistake was made. That's why Col went first twice.
Stanford had the choice to go for 2 in the first OT.
