It cannot be understated what Deion Sanders did today.
To turn the whole Colorado program around from what it was last season to today beating a team that played in the National Championship last season…
It’s one thing to talk about it.
It’s another to actually do it.Wow.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are going to walk out of Fort Worth, as three touchdown underdogs, with a stunning upset of No. 17 TCU.
Un-be-lievable.

Deion as the Colorado coach even has ME watching college football. Why is this so much fun?

That was a wild game. Takeaways…
1) TCU isn’t going to the championship game again this year
2) My Colorado under 2.5 conference wins bet is a big time loser
3) Block out the noise. Gus is still the very best pic.twitter.com/e0sCCax9in
