in my heart, I am hoping for Thompson. Objectively, I want the best player. It will be interesting, as I think this is the crux of the issue with many coaches that fail. Talent has to win, and I don't think that has happened every time in the past.

I watched about 5 minutes of it. It was an offense vs defense format. Who knows what players were playing against who. But the one TD I saw of Sanders and then him going to the crowd with kisses or what not was such a turn off. Then the circle jerk networking of Fowler on the sideline with "Coach Prime" during the broadcast revealed what it actually was. An orchestrated reality show. I hope we curb stomp that loud mouthed mother you know what. I have no respect for that jerk off and never will. I can only think of one person more narcissistic than that blowhard.
I'd feel bad for Thompson if he loses out, he didn't know there would be a coaching change. Although he should have known it was on the table. But those aren't the tough conversations for us fans to have. So, I just want the best guy out there.
Yes, there is an option. This is from the XFL. XFL On-Side Kick Equivalent
The odds of the "kicking team" keeping the football (making a first down on 4th and 15 from the 25 yard line) is supposedly the same as the odds of recovering an on-side kick in today's game.
I feel exactly the same about Deion. Would love to see reality smack him hard.
Here's an example of what got Buffs fans all excited yesterday. No defender within 10 yards.
Colorado was 130th out of 131 teams in total defense and 131st in scoring defense last season. Not surprised Deion could hype up his fan base with an offensive display in their spring game.
Here's another. Where's the defense?

And I wouldn't be AT ALL surprised if that was completely scripted.
NU has its share of ugliness in the spring game. But at least you can honestly say that White's defense was actually getting after the offense pretty much all game. Lot of fumbles, but there was serious hitting/trying going on.
CU's defense, if they bothered to try or cover at all, let up visibly to let receivers walk in.

You and me.
Deion "Prime" .... ALL SHOW & NO GO !!!! My prediction: Huskers 62 sCUm 36
Weird CU helmets
They wore the helmet pads.
I watched long enough to chuckle a couple of times and shake my head.
I understand the connections here: Fowler's a CU guy. Both he and Sanders worked for ESPN. The network sees it as was mentioned earlier in the thread, a reality show centered around football. It's still hard to stomach, unless you're a CU fan.
The only way they could have made it easier on Sanders Light and the offense would have been to have left the defense in the locker room. You mentioned the 10 yard cushion and there were also several plays where they left guys completely uncovered. I know enough CU fans that actually know football from my decades in Colorado to know they're rolling their eyes at this as well.
It'll be interesting to hear the spin after TCU is done with them.
I don't understand how any defensively player, even with a marginal ranking, would want to go to CU after that carnival sideshow. You are nothing more than a prop to showcase Coach Sanders and the offense.
Good luck developing and growing into a cohesive unit.
That could be interesting. Could get ugly though if there is a team with a white hot reciever and a QB lighting him up. Could start seeing some 200 point games
