Deion Sanders reminded reporters on November 12 about the work he did to make Colorado football a winner just two years removed from a 1-11 season in 2022; saying several times to those in attendance that he "flipped the dern roster."
“We flipped the dern roster, remember?” said Sanders (h/t USA Today). “Remember all the changes? Yeah, we flipped the roster. That probably has a lot to do with it. We got the people that we wanted. You can’t keep forgetting: We got here in December a couple of years ago, right? That’s kind of tough. Backs were up against the wall. It was kind of tough. We flipped the dern roster, and I’m proud of them. I’m proud of these young men. I’m proud of the coaching staff. Flipped that, too.”
Sanders would later tell reporters that he hasn't taken a step back to drink it all in because he only looks forward. Elite coach speak.
“I never take a step back,” Sanders said. “I try to take a step up. I’m always with my head out the window: I’m trying to see around the corner, not trying to see straight ahead. It’s normalcy to see what’s in front of them. I’m trying to see around the corner.”
Deion Sanders has made 'Prime Time' real with Colorado football
The best analysts have now when it comes to reporting negatively on Coach Prime is bringing up far-out situations like leaving CU for FSU or the Dallas Cowboys.
Certainly, nothing happening on the field is giving the talking heads any ammo. Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are as good as Deion advertised and Robert Livingston is looking like a superstar DC hire.
"Prime Time" is real. Everything Sanders says -- "We Coming," "I ain't hard 2 find," all of it -- has been backed up by the 2024 season.
It's real, and it's dern beautiful, in Boulder.
