Coach Prime’s Colorado football culture under fire from fans

Coach Prime’s Colorado football culture is under fire from furious fans on message boards who don’t believe Buffs players are buying into the University of Colorado’s traditions and instead believe that Deion Sanders’ recruits don’t care about CU.

“They don’t embrace any Colorado traditions,” one user prefaced in the BuffStampede forums before saying, “They don’t run out behind Ralphie. It’s like they don’t want anything to do with her. They don’t sing the fight song. I guarantee the players and coaches don’t even know it. It’s obvious they couldn’t care less about CU.”

“I get the feeling that’s how Prime wants it,” prefaced another in response before saying, “it’s Prime U, not CU.”

“Real colors are starting to show,” another responded. “Slime has been able to cover up who he is until now. Should have lost the (Colorado State) game as well. Get used to it. No culture.”

Colorado football fans must show patience with Coach Prime’s great experiment

The Coach Prime era will be short if fans are going to continue freaking out about Colorado football results to this degree.

Despite the season’s worst loss and a historic second-half failure for a program that had just gotten past a historically futile 2022 season, Colorado football fans need to remember that the feelings are this intense because of the passion Coach Prime has brought back to a sleeping giant; whose nap was beginning to look permanent after decades of falling way short.

The pain of Week 7 will face an unprecedented bye-week hysteria that will have many tossing out wild conspiracy theories about where Sanders may go next. But the narrative would completely flip with a win against UCLA or Oregon State after that.

The goal was bowl eligibility, and Colorado is still just two games away from that. The sky doesn’t need to be falling just yet in northern Colorado or anywhere Buffs’ country is.
