College football fans are pretty nit-picky about what they take in and what they don’t. Especially when it comes to the Colorado Buffs coach Deion Sanders’, they are even more sensitive, even to the point of over-judging an analysis or a statement sometimes. So, an analyst needs to play their card with the utmost care.

Currently, Coach Prime, his decorated team, and the huge fanfare have been in a state of euphoria, relishing the taste of a statement in celebration of week 4 against the Baylor Bears. The win, and the comeback, the phenomenal 43-yard Hail Mary, was all wild, all great. However, analyzing the prodigious victory and the marquee collective performances from a journalistic point of view is not that great.

Covering the Colorado Buffaloes’ game is not a cakewalk

You might have seen the headlines pouring sensation into the quintessential overtime lead of the Buffs with various tones and phrases. People even talk about having a flashback to the event with the historic “Miracle at Michigan” from 1994, where the Buffaloes clinched a similar success in a dramatic last-second play. But talking about Colorado and the head coach can also be a very precarious part, something that we hardly can get unless and until, the faithful insider, JD PicKell said in a bombshell confession, ”If you say something critical of Colorado you are a hater you don’t like Deion Sanders you don’t like Shedeur Sanders’, you have some agenda against Colorado that is not pertaining to what they do on the field.”

During the latest edition of the ON3 podcast, the college football freak and veteran analyst spilled the other side of the ballgame as well, and the grass was unfortunately not greener. ‘‘If you say something positive about Colorado, you’re over-hyping them. You are a sheep you’re just buying into the Deion Sanders hype, and you don’t actually want to. You know objectively look at what you’re seeing on the field.” He continued, flaring the minute reality behind an unbiased coverage of Colorado Buffaloes.

Well, the week 4 game had everything- enough to serve the Buffs naysayers and the faithful. The OL couldn’t protect Shedeur Sanders, and the Buffs made some insane decisions on defense, leading to them trailing 10-24 a few minutes before halftime. Of course, credit must go to Baylor and their defense, who tested Shedeur throughout the game. How did he fare? Well, he completed 25 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns.

The other hero? Travis Hunter! You can’t really write about a Buffs game without mentioning their two-way genius. Hunter was a menace on offense and an able option for Shedeur whenever he was in trouble on 3rd and long! But, his significant contribution came on defense, in the final play of the game in over time. Hunter forced a fumble into the endzone, and it was all over for Baylor. The Buffs prevailed, moving their record to 3-1. Their hope? Let’s not repeat the last year. For that reason, Coach Prime is treating this season differently.

Deion Sanders is keeping negativity away in his eventful second year as a coach

Deion Sanders is pretty bold when it comes to keeping unnecessary opinions at bay. He doesn’t entertain any negativity at all. During the preseason, the second-year Colorado coach had a chunk of media dealings where there were some clear frustrations written on his face. He reportedly petered out a newspaper columnist from asking questions about what pessimistic coverage means to him. However, he specified how he remained unfazed amidst all the praises and brickbats.

When coach Prime was busy prepping for the Buffaloes’ season opener against FCS powerhouse North Dakota State, he was asked to explain how he’s immune to the outside noise. The veteran promptly noted it was just a way of life, a gospel song to him, as he is seasoned in dealing with cheating, lying, and back bitching all along his path.

How long the 57-year-old continues with the Buffs is now a swelling curiosity. But even if he won’t, the Colorado Buffs will probably be the centerpiece of coverage intricacy for sure as the program caught a lot of eyeballs in recent years.
