Deion Sanders Jr. Tweeted (And Deleted) That He Has Hours Of Footage Of Coaches Talking Trash To Colorado That'd Get Them Fired, But He'd Never Release It
So this video started making its rounds late last night, which resulted in a rare blog from Barstool in which they take the side against Colorado. But what are we supposed to do here? Boss wants us to lay off Deion, but when you've got your captain (and son) trotting out to the coin toss talking about how you're going to roll Nebraska's ass......only to get your ass rolled by Nebraska.....a blog must go up. I mean, it was 28-0 at halftime and Shilo went from coin toss to broken arm (get well soon) in a matter of 5 minutes.
I truly am not out looking for anti-Deion blogs, but also, notable / bloggable stories about Colorado are shoved into our face literally every two minutes these days, and I give my opinion on them. Anyways, the way this story goes is this coin toss video surfaced because Nebraska's video team published it. And now people are, once again, piling on Colorado's program and their culture. I'm not sure why? But either way, the heat of today's news cycle has gotten Coach Prime's son, Deion Sanders Jr, to respond:
*Had to go with the screenshot of the tweet because in the middle of me blogging this story, he's already deleted it. (I don't understand the point of prominent figures with high follower counts deleting tweets? The internet catches everything. I would never)
Either way, I actually don't hate Deion Jr's point here? I'm sure players and coaches are chomping at the bit to play and beat Colorado, due to how they've acted, and I'm sure they chirp. In fact, I saw a video this morning of Will Compton yelling at players as they warmed up on the field.
And Will is just a podcaster / former player! I'm sure Coaches and Players have said worse. And Deion Jr is right…..that's the mindset you need. Nebraska was rocking on Saturday night because Will and the fans set the tone early and often. And it's each individual program's choice to release the footage they want. My question is this: if Nebraska had come out to the coin toss saying they'd roll Colorado's asses, and Colorado went up 28-0 in the first half, would that footage have been released? Deion Sanders Jr says no.
My question is this: what's the footage that would cost people to lose their job? I'm in total agreement that players and coaches should be fired up for a game (I don't think coaches should chirp, players can if they want). But what have coaches said that would get them fired? I think you have to show the proof of it if you say you have it. Or I guess you can delete it.
