(00:00):
Silly me here I thought that ColoradoNebraska thing was dead. They were happy
having us roll through there to skiin the winter and climb mountains in the
summer. We were more than happyto let I eighty intersect with I seventy
six and then impound all of theirmarijuana mules. Okay, that was a
late hit, but so was thatdogpile on Adrian Martinez five years ago.

(00:22):
Guess we're always keeping score. Buthere I got to thinking, with Tom's
retirement and bill max decline, theyleaving the Big Twelve for the Pac twelve
even before we left for the BigTen, and both of us exiting the
national polls, that we'd stopped throwinggarbage in each other's backyard. And then
I realized, if you're not playingevery year, especially the last game,

(00:44):
roasting your former rival just doesn't carrythe same entertainment value. So we moved
on to Iowa. So far thathasn't worked out, and they won seven
in a row, eight of ninewhile we went through four coaches. This
week we get the Buffs back,game three of a four game series started
in twenty eighteen. Two there twohere. So far we're over two and

(01:07):
listening to the Buffs roam their mouths. You'd think this was McCartney and the
Mammals all over again. This ispersonal. First three words out of Dion
sanders mouth when asked about the game, we hate Nebraska. First three words
out of Schedur sanders mouth. Fromwhere in the name of SALONESSI did that
come? How is the Nebraska gamepersonal to Dion or Schedur Sanders. As

(01:34):
a player, Dion faced Nebraska quitea bit. Started his first game true
freshman in nineteen eighty five, aseventeen thirteen FSU win in Lincoln, thanks
largely to a botched punt snap thatled to an easy Seminole touchdown. His
contribution one punt return six yards.A year later, in the first night
game ever Memorial Stadium, Steve Taylorpassed and ran pass Sanders and all the

(01:57):
knolls thirty four seventeen Dion four tackles, one more. Nineteen eighty eight Fiesta
Bowl two tackles, one solo.He was a first team All American in
every game except when he in theZeminos played the Huskers. Is that it?
Maybe it was? When trev Albertswent searching for a coach, was

(02:20):
Sanders ever on a list, probablya serious candidate. Maybe did his representatives
get a call from Alberts or thesearch firm. Nobody is saying, But
given what Trev carefully and thoughtfully deducedwere the metrics for a new coach,
I'd say Nebraska got the right guy. If Dion had gotten the call,
would Coach Prime have really been interested? Or would he have ridden Trev and

(02:43):
President Ted Carter like a mechanical bowl. Love the ride, enjoy the chase,
but take the job. My suggestionis no, Lincoln has evolved from
the Puritan Church on every corner,biscuits and gravy burg of the twentieth century.
But it's not nearly as much funas Denver, especially if you're doing
six million a year. What aboutthe kid? From? Where was his

(03:04):
hate birthed? Prior to this week, Shadua Sanders thought about the state of
Nebraska slightly less often than the planetNeptune. So come clean, Fellers,
what gives? It's the script,it's the reality TV show that is Colorado
Football. Sanders loves the party andhe's turning up the music. Pre Coach
Prime CEU football was so invisible.Night vision goggles couldn't find them. And

(03:29):
if he doesn't run eighty guys bringin eighty new ones. By instructing the
team to leave after all the oneand eleven, he gets the same amount
of attention reserved for every other firstyear coach of a rebuilding program. Colorado
has every quality you look for ina perpetual loser. No fans, no
money, no presents, Nobody cares. But his flash, his bravado,

(03:53):
the cowboy hat, his brashness wasgetting attention. Just like McCartney's public disca
for all Things read forty years ago. Prime crashed the Broncos, Nuggets and
Avalanche parties sucks some of the airout of the room and blew it into
the faces of every buff fan fromJunction Gulch to Julesburg. Just this weekend,

(04:15):
the CEU Twitter account added one hundredand forty seven thousand new followers.
But how many of them are goingto stick around after the party ends?
And it will always has
