Colorado football X account gets final word on 'Darts only' meme it created
The Colorado football program's official X account got the final word on the "Darts only" meme it created when it shared an edited clip of a Shedeur Sanders touchdown throw to LaJohntay Wester in fall camp -- and that final word was actually just "darts only" with the word "Literally" in front of it.
After the Buffs started the trend, other programs also got in on it. Arkansas was one of the first, but it spread to programs nationwide and even the PGA Tour.
Of course, the joke other programs rolled with was that Shedeur's throw didn't result in the Wester touchdown on the original post, but that wasn't true. Two different camera angles were shown of the same play.
Colorado left little doubt this time around, showing a single shot of Sanders connecting with Wester for a tuddy.
That should end this mind-numbing discussion on whether or not a social media team would deliberately deceive the masses. No, Colorado's didn't. But they were pushed hard enough to feel the need to post another video with a nearly identical caption.
Colorado football dealing with several fabricated controversies this offseason
Before there was "Darts only," there was a ridiculous rumor quite literally made up by Paul Finebaum that Deion Sanders was a potential successor to Lincoln Riley at USC. Yes, the same Riley who brought Caleb Williams from Oklahoma to Los Angeles and helped lead to a Heisman win in 2022.
There is also the bombshell Athlon Sports report that suggested that Coach Prime is aware of and even responsible for a chaotic locker room featuring fights and gun culture. That hasn't been proven or disproven yet, but a lawsuit could certainly clear the air on that.
It's been, as predicted, a busy offseason for the Buffs from a narrative standpoint. That only figures to be ratcheted up later this month and throughout the Fall with games actually being played.
