Another day, another hate rally for Julian Lewis. The dude’s probably like, “Why is everyone up in my business?” Seriously, the hate for the Buffs is wild, as despite having a successful 9-4 season, the only games people seem to discuss are the losses to the Jayhawks or BYU. Deion Sanders and the Buffs are used to it, but JuJu? It’s just a start. Moreover, it also feels like being trapped in The Hunger Games; once involved, escape is impossible. As he gets ready to play, expect the criticism and animosity to intensify. The hate’s only going to get louder as he suits up for them, but let him ball out; haters gonna hate.
Only if people would let that happen. Since the moment Julian Lewis joined the Buffs, he has been creating buzz every now and then. But this time, it’s all for the wrong reasons. Now, can you imagine someone talking about their ideation behind a certain act, and that becomes the reason for the troll for them? The same is happening with JuJu, who said the main reason behind joining the Buffs is that “It felt like home.” But how come that’s possible? Because haters think it’s just for money.

At this point in time, honestly, it’s hilarious that people think this is a money move. First off, not every Buffs player’s rolling in cash. And second, look at Julian—11,010 career passing yards and mad strength on the field. Guys like him don’t run after money; it runs after them. Let’s be real: if not for the Buffs, he’d be getting offers from literally every program out there, all throwing cash his way. Instead of thinking he’s chasing money, people need to understand he’s after greatness.
It’s like people are on some mission. They don’t even let a single week pass without making it about Julian Lewis. First, they didn’t want him to join the Buffs because it would destroy his career; after that went down, it all started with Kaidon Salter’s transfer hampering him. If not, the Buffs’ loss against BYU and their offensive line failure will damage JuJu’s future, and now this money thing. It’s like more than his team or himself, haters are destroying his career.

Like honestly, Julian Lewis is one of the top quarterback prospects for the class of 2025 in terms of his ability or gameplay; he is no less of a player. So, getting a hefty NIL amount will always be an easy task for him. Haters are going to think that it’s just Buffs and Deion Sanders who can give him money. See, they can, but it’s not like JuJu will not give anything in return, plus let’s not forget he had 20 other programs in the mix, and one of them was Georgia, so it’s stupidity to say things like this, “S–u. Lying sack of 💩. Money talks; bulls—t walks!!”
It’s pretty easy to talk smack about people, especially when they are public figures. Your opinions are justified, but what about the insults? Moreover, let’s not forget Julian Lewis is just 17 years old, and he is not only making money but also took his high school team to the Georgia 6A state championship finale and is now on the road to building his college football career. So, at least think before saying such harsh words against a teenager who’s an overachiever and deserves every reward. But it looks like this X user also thinks the other way around, as they say, “No, just the money.”
We all know Deion Sanders and Colorado is a hub that attracts deals and endorsements, and this automatically makes you rich. But think rationally: if everyone thinks of it this way, then no single player should leave the team. Then why did 16 players hit the transfer portal? Money also comes to those who deserve it, and knowing Julian Lewis’s records and the kind of player he is, he should be the chosen one. But this X user is out there mocking him, “Felt like home.”

Now, this has to be one of the most sarcastic digs at Julian Lewis if we ignore the abuse and disrespect. This follower says, “I got paid a bag.” Well, that’s some peak-level hypocrisy. It’s okay for Bryce Underwood to choose Michigan over LSU for money, but if JuJu selects his favorite team on the basis of the bond he shares with his teammates’ senior players and Coach Prime, he is wrong. It’s like we went so far hating Buffs that we forgot the difference between right and wrong!
