Deion Sanders seems frustrated Shedeur Sanders is left out of Heisman race

Deion Sanders has never been one to hold back his true feeling, so when his son, Shedeur, was left out of the Heisman Trophy race...

 

Of course he does because it means more face time on TV for him.

Does he mean the guy that was held to 150 yards passing and 6 points the last time he played Oregon?  🤣

 

Okay Prime.

And yet... 

 

Colorado didn't win the Big 12.

This is why I'm against Hunter being awarded the Heisman. I'm hearing, "Give it to a non-quarterback, it doesn't have to be best player best team"

 

None of those really point to Hunter winning, just not Gabriel. Which I just find ridiculous.

 

As fantastic as it is that Hunter played offense and defense in the same season, with another star, Sanders on the team, besides piling up stats, what did either of them accomplish?

What should voters look at, stats or wins, leadership or showmanship? I think you have to have weight competitive stats, wins and leadership.

 

Too bad showmanship seems to be coming into play, while the other three, especially real wins in the heat of battle and leadership fade. 

 

Deion seems to be trying to lead the way in weighting the showmanship and hollow stats brigade.

 

We should be valuing those who can truly lead, and show our youth what made this country great with this most hallowed award. 

 

I am glad Gabriel was invited, and I truly respect those who see the value he has as a leader of our team. When you look at the traits of diligence, hard work and perseverance this awards states it values, no one better exemplifies those traits like Dillon Gabriel does.

 

The stated attributes this award stands for are many. While excellence is one of them, how you evaluate that should be along with the other characteristics. If that was truly done, I think Gabriels qualities would rise to the top, as they probably will in the coming games. 

 

Thank you Dillon Gabriel, our Heisman winner, at least!

Gee, I guess Gabriel should have struck the Heisman pose before he scored the touchdown against osu2, or after the 4th & 9 pass to Ferguson, or before diving on the fumble against Penn State?

Colorado strength of schedule is in the 70s. 
Dillon beat three playoff teams (so far)

and even with a much tougher gauntlet and better results…
 

Dillon QBR #2 in nation

Sanders is hovering around 20, not far from guys like Tyler Shough and the dude from Syracuse.  Lol

There is not going to be a Shakespeare in Love beating out Saving Private Ryan at the Downtown Athletic Club.

 

Prime Time brought his son on stage with him and Travis in Introductions.  Poor form.

The voice over before the announcement, "We don't know who's going to win?"

 

Travis Hunter won. 

Colorado 9-3 with LOSSES to Kansas,K-State and Nebraska! 
 

Oregon 13-0 with 3 playoff team wins!

 

Boo-hoo Prime!

Not related to the award itself, but did you catch Mario when they did the Cam Ward segment?  

 

First off, he said Ward was the greatest player he ever coached.  I get he’s not going to go on there and laud any others but he certainly could have tried to be a bit more eloquent (yeah I know Mario and eloquent are rarely in the same sentence) but he was just bad.  And his demeanor is always like he just heard the worst possible news.  The guy never smiles.

 

So glad that guy is gone.

Did he say that?

 

I thought he said Ward was “the best quarterback in the country.”

It’s not a team award, it’s an individual award. And Hunter is a generational talent. I think he deserved to win.

 

Having said that, had Gabriel won, I wouid have been fist bumping along with the rest of us 

Mario made sure to look disinterested when DL was speaking. He’s just looking straight ahead like David Puddy flying on an airplane.
