In the last home game at Folsom Field in front of the home crowd, Travis Hunter and Shador Sanders put on a show.
They did. Colorado demolished Oklahoma State 52 to nothing
to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Prime told Colorado going in to respond after the 37-21 loss.
The Buffaloes didn't just respond.
They obliterated the opposition.
It was Colorado's largest margin of victory since beating the Gophers,
the Minnesota Gophers,
58-0 in 1991.
Shador Sanders was
34-41,
438, five touchdowns and an
interception. Shador,
excuse me, Travis Hunter,
10 catches, a buck 16,
three touchdowns, a pick, two Hunter 10 catches, a buck 16 3 touchdowns, a pick
2 pass breakups
they had
yeah
Travis was, no, Shadual was
31 of 41, 438
5 touchdowns
1 interception
Webster, excuse me, had
11 catches, a buck 75
2 touchdowns, Travis Hunter 10 catches, 1 16, Wester, excuse me, had 11 catches, a buck 75, two touchdowns,
Travis Hunter,
10 catches,
one 16,
three touchdowns.
Uh,
I think his name is Will Shepard,
uh,
has six catches for 67 yards.
Uh,
I like this because this is what prime knew.
Prime knew that they,
uh,
boys estate was going to try to give JT as many carries as he could handle
and let him try to get as many yards as he can.
And he says, I'm not going to let y'all –
I'm not going to just get up and take my dogs, call my dogs off.
Trav, stay out there because I want them to –
let them know just how great you are.
Can I interest you in 10, 4, buck, 16, and three touchdowns? Can I interest you in a pick? Can I interest you in 10, 4 bucks, 16, and 3 touchdowns?
Can I interest you in a pick?
Can I interest you in two pass breakups?
Can I interest y'all in that?
Yeah.
He left no doubt.
At all.
No doubt that he's going to win the Heisman Trophy in December.
What is that?
The first week of December?
So that's next Saturday, isn't it?
It's normally the first Saturday.
It's normally the first Saturday it's normally the first Saturday in December
December 14th they backed it up okay
oh yeah because you know they got
they got conference play now
yeah
so conference play would be
next weekend yeah there's
no question in my mind he He's the best college player.
Look, and there's nothing – look, Ashton Gentry has had an unbelievable season.
Crazy.
2000 – what is he at?
2000 and – is he at 2020?
Was it 2086 well we know barry barry barry rushed for 26 25 and 11 games and he had another 225 yards
uh and five touchdowns in the Holiday Bowl.
They didn't count that.
So he would have been over 2,800 yards and over 40 touchdowns in 12 games,
which, I mean, think about how many yards you would literally –
you would literally have to rush like 250 yards a game, Ocho, to beat that.
2,288.
So he has 2,288 yards, and he has the conference championship next week, right?
He's only going to have a couple hours.
Kevin Smith, Melvin Gordon, and Barry Smith.
Okay.
So Barry's 2625.
2628.
2628.
So he's about, what, 350, 340-something yards.
334.
340-something yards. 334. 340.
But I love what I saw from Colorado. 340 but I love what I saw from Colorado 340
man Ocho if they could have just
got Kansas now they're going to
the Big 12 championship game
with a chance to get no question
they're going to the what you call them
they'll be going to the college football playoff
so now they have to rely on two
or three teams to lose.
Iowa, if I'm not mistaken.
Is it Iowa or Iowa State?
I think it's Iowa State.
So hopefully everything goes in their
favor and they make it
to the playoffs. I think they can
cause some hell now. They can cause some hell
and cause some havoc depending on who they matched up with.
So
here's the hope and they do make it.
Yeah, he could easily.
But how many games have he played?
12, 13?
He's played 12 games.
He's played 12 games.
So he's already played one more game.
I don't think he's getting 340.
Who did they play? Who did they play?
Okay.
Yeah.
And they're going to play in the college.
They're going to play a game in the college football playoff.
And they're going to give him as many carries as he needs.
I can see that.
I can see that. So he needs 100 because what if they
lose this game? Do you think they make
the college football playoff?
But who
could it possibly be? man how the colorado state what's called beating the brakes off them
yeah yeah so they're guaranteed at least two more games and so he's probably going to need
340 yards in two games
and there haven't been very many games this year
that he's gotten held under 170 yards
and I think this is why
I think this is why
Prime left
his guy
he's like look no no no no no
I know it's 35-0 to Soap.
We're going to finish
this thing up.
Travis, his last game at Folsom
Field, nobody
in Colorado is going to
not remember
him. They're going to remember him forever.
You can make the case
he's the greatest him from ever. You can make the case.
He's the greatest college Colorado player ever.
I mean, Cordell, Rashad Salam,
Byron Rizzo White.
He was a chief. He was a Supreme Court justice.
He went there, but it's hard.
They had Westbrook.
They've had some great defenders. You know, they had Alfred Williams
and they have Hudson and they had a lot of different guys. Eric Biennium, J.J. Flanagan.
They've had some guys, but it's going to be hard to say that they're a better player than Travis Hunter.
No.
Georgia's losing.
What?
17-0, Georgia Tech.
Where's my remote at?
No, because if I turn that on, I'm going to be looking to my left.
Don't worry about it.
But you're doing through the ball exceptionally well today.
34-41, 438.
He broke his own record.
He had the most touchdown passes in a single season.
He upped that.
Now what's he at now, like 34?
Most passing yards in a single season.
I think he broke Coy Detmer's record back in the mid-'90s
when he was playing for Rick Neuheisel.
Yeah.
He set an all-time single-season passing record.
The previous record was 3,527 yards set by Coy Detmer
with another game to
play. So he has an opportunity to
move that even further. Ocho
Travis Hunter. He had already had he was
the Heisman front runner and today
was his most
impressive game of his career. A three
touchdown performance. I want an exception
of couple of pass breakups.
Hunter had 10 catches for 116
yards, three touchdowns,
his fourth interception on the season.
With a regular season in the stat book, offensively, he had 92 receptions,
1,152 yards, 14 receiving touchdowns, one rushing touchdown.
On defense, he had four interceptions with a lot of quarterbacks
not even throwing in his direction.
He is the best collegiate player in football.
We've never seen a guy
that could do what he
did on both sides of the ball.
Coach Prime goes off on Travis Hunter's
snub for the Jim Thorpe Award.
Time blasted the fact that Travis Hunter not
selected as a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award,
saying the omission was idiotic and
devalued the integrity of the award.
How is Travis snubbed by the Thorpe Award?
You can have my award.
You can have mine back.
Matter of fact, I'm going to give it mine.
I ain't using it.
You're sitting up there collecting dust.
So Travis can have my Thorpe Award because if it ain't the most idiotic thing
in college football, if he's not a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award,
and he is, I would say arguably.
But I don't think I'm really arguing about the young man being the best
defensive back in college football.
It just looks bad, Ocho.
The kid win the Heisman, the Heisman trophy.
He's a defensive back.
He's also a receiver.
And you mean to tell me he's not one of the best three DBs?
We already know he is.
Actually, we know he's the best DB.
And that's why our prime planted that seed maybe two or three weeks ago when he was in front of the media and understanding how they were going to play games. How they were going to play games
based on how they feel about him, allowing their disdain and disgust for him personally to affect
the success of the players on the team that are deserving of the accolades and what they've done this year in being the best player
offensively and defensively on the field.
He's already said it.
So again,
everything is coming to a head that he knew they were going to do.
He knew they were going to do this.
It doesn't make sense to me.
Now he's nominated as one of the best defensive.
I think it's the Nagurski award,
which is the best college defensive player,
but not the best.
So he wanted the best college defense.
Isn't DB a defensive player?
I thought that's what I could be wrong.
But I thought DB was on the defensive side of football.
And because we've seen DB's win defensive player of the year, we saw Stephon Gilmore, Prime won it.
Rod Woodson won it. Who else won it? I think Charles Woodson won it. Rod Woodson won it.
So we've seen DB's win defensive player of the year, which means they were the best defensive player that year.
Okay, so you mean to tell me this man could possibly win the Heisman?
He's a finalist for the Nagurski Award,
but he's not a finalist for the Thorpe Award?
You know, they make their own rules.
When you're in positions of power like that,
and you're able to control the narrative,
this is the type of stuff they pull. This is the type of stuff they pull.
This is the type of stuff they're able to pull.
Because you, I mean, come on, Ojo.
I mean, you probably, did Charles Wilson win the Thorpe Award?
He probably did.
Did Woody win the Thorpe Award?
Because he won the Heisman.
I'm sure he did.
Because he was the best defensive player that year.
Yeah.
Funny. I mean, defensive player that year. Yeah. Funny.
It's funny how that works.
Yeah.
So, I don't know.
It just seems it doesn't make sense to me that a guy could possibly win the
Heisman and he plays defensive back, but he's not one of the best defensive back.
He could win the,
he could win possibly the best defensive player of the year,
but he's not the best DB.
Yeah.
So how did I try to figure out how did miles Garrett when defensive player
of the year,
but he's not one of the best defensive linemen.
They make up the rules as they go.
They do what they want to do.
Travis Hunter odds soars in spite of a loss.
He hauled in 125 yards receiving, two touchdowns on eight receptions.
Hunter eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark for the sixth time this season,
tying a single- school record on defense hunter seven total tackles two pass breakups
and were an interception here's the thing though ocho yeah he got that interception which he dove
oh we undercut it yeah yeah they don't they'd end up they'd go ahead and send him to high but
they'd go ahead and send it to him listenan. They'd go ahead and send it to him. Listen, you might as well.
You might as well, especially he almost had it too.
If it wasn't for the ground, he would have caught that.
DraftKings Sportsbook now has him as a minus 800 favorite ahead of Ashton Gentry, who has the second best odds at plus 650.
Unless he rushes for 400 yards and six touchdowns, I just don't know how he overtakes him. I just don't, unless he rushes for 400 yards
and six touchdowns,
I just don't know how he overtakes him.
I just don't know, Joe.
He's not, he's not, he's not gonna overtake him.
Listen, Travis Hunter is going to win the Heisman Trophy.
Everybody can see that.
Everybody can see that.
Now, I would hope, and again, I've said it before,
those that are doing the voting,
I would hope that they don't allow
their personal vendetta against Prime,
maybe not like him for whatever reason it may be,
but don't allow your personal issues with Prime
to take away from a player's success
that's doing something absolutely phenomenal
and spectacular that's been done before,
but never been done to this magnitude.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.

In the fall of 1986,
Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General.
I'm Leon Nafak, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a
scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.

Muhammad Ali
was never afraid
to express himself
loudly and boldly
and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original.
Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy
through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best.
Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own
sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali,
and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing
ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson,
Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.
Listen to Ali and me now on Audible.
I think time will have them ready to play.
7-2.
They won 10 games.
That's the first time that they had a coach to win.
Go win 10 wins
in a combined season
since Gary Barnett in 99 and 2000.
That just goes to show you a team that
won four games last year looks like
it's about to double that win total up this
year. There are a lot of people that's disappointed
that Coach Prime is doing so well
because there are a lot of people that want to see him
fail. For whatever
reason, maybe he didn't do an interview with you.
Maybe you don't like the way, you know, they call him a false prophet.
I don't get it.
I don't know why.
It's not like you go into his church.
You're not a member of his congregation.
Even the people that want to see him fail.
Think about everything.
If you follow Coach Prime's career, everywhere he goes,
even whether it's on the field or whether it's off the field,
everything he does and puts his time in, it turns a goal.
Everything he does and puts his time in, it comes into fruition and there's success behind
it.
So if you watch him at the high school level, he succeeded.
If you watch him at the collegiate level, even at Jackson State, he succeeded.
It was only a matter of time, even here in Colorado.
Now you think about what he's done so far in such a short amount of time. What do you think it's going to look like next year?
What do you think is going to happen when the portal hits next year?
What do you think Kidd is going to want to do?
Well, I'm going to worry about this year because unless they get another Shadur and Travis Hunter,
let's go ahead and get this year out of the way.
You know the quarterbacks are going to want to come play there.
I don't think that's going to be the issue.
Getting another skill player, getting another skill player,
and snatching somebody else from one of those other Power 5 schools,
oh, they're going to come.
You know Shador and Travis can both be top five picks.
Now, what's the likelihood you get two top five picks out of the portal?
So what's the likelihood of you getting two top five picks out of the portal? So what's the likelihood of you getting two
top five picks out of the portal?
It's some young bulls out there that can play some ball now.
Now, the
chance of getting two top five picks, I don't
know, but you can get some
very, very good quality players, especially
quarterbacks. I don't think we're going to see another
Travis Hunter for a while. We can see another
receiver. We can see another dynamic receiver
that might transfer and hit the portal and come there, but we won't see a two-way player like yeah yeah uh oh my bad you hear the
background yeah um i just think the thing is look i mean i to openly root for somebody to not have
success and i get it you know everybody because they expect black people to be be humble be glad you're coaching be glad you got this be humble they always expect
us but you know why why i gotta be humble it ain't bragging if i do what i say i can
i mean and the thing is because a lot of times because he was so great. I mean, to be a professional football player and a baseball player simultaneous.
So, well, we couldn't do or say anything bad about him
because he was at the top of his game in one sport
and he was a damn good player in another sport.
So now I guess the only thing we can do
is just root against his team, root against his players.
And look, sometimes I expect sometimes
of other people to do that.
I just didn't expect that.
But I should expect it
because where it's coming from.
From some of the people,
some of the people that it's coming from,
I expect another list.
Because they've always done it.
They've always done it.
Most of the time, for one,
we're not even afforded opportunities
to be in positions of power like that,
to be leaders of men,
especially young men at that.
So you already know what it comes with,
especially when you have a coach
that's not afraid to say what he needs to say.
He walks a certain way.
He talks a certain way.
And he doesn't abide by the guidelines
of what it's like to be a head coach.
He doesn't.
He marches by the beat of his own drum
and it rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
And I think the quarterback play on some of the teams
that we're used to seeing that are really good,
the quarterback play isn't good, huh?
The quarterback play is not good.
Outside of Shador Sanders, Cam Ward, and maybe two others.
Right.
I think they like that guy.
A lot of people like the kid at Ole Miss, Jackson Dark.
He threw for 515 and 6 touchdowns
today what's the receiver name had
Watkins
he's rated real high too though Joe
he might be the number one or number two
receiver on people's
that's nice 8 for 2 with 4
that's video game numbers now
yeah
it is
and 5 TDs I mean the most I've had
in the game is I've had 4 TDs one time
in college but they never had 5
that's a that's a lot
excuse me
and averaging what
30 yards he's averaging
damn near what 30 yards a catch
they're playing 7-0-7.
That's 7-0-7
numbers. You're right.
Yeah, but
when you look at the quarterbacks that they
I think they had rated fairly
high. You had Beck and you had
some of these other guys and when you look at it now
you hear them talking more about
Shador. Excuse me,
Ewers was another guy that they had rated very high, Ojo.
But now you hear it's Shador.
Now you hear Cam Ward.
Now, yeah, it's guys like that.
And Jackson Dart, I think he was up there, but he's getting played now.
I think you look at his odds going into that game for the Heisman,
and then you look at what they are coming out of that game?
So clearly he moved the needle with that performance that he had today.
Right now, I still think Travis Hunter is the favorite.
For the simple fact, boys in state, Genji, he's, look, he's going, he's going,
Ocho, he's got yards.
He's getting, you know, 31 carries.
I think he had a buck 47.
I think he had like 30 carries last year, like last year, last week.
I think he had like 150-something.
But he's not doing that 250, the 208s, you know, the things like that.
And so I felt that in order for him to win the Heisman,
he was probably going to have to go for like somewhere between 23 and 2,500 yards
because we've seen guys get 2,000 yards
that's that's whole hump and and he's got the quarterbacks and the quarterbacks with it i mean
man cam ward has what 29 touchdowns but what trav is doing and the level in which he's executing
he could be a guy that ends up having over 1,000 yards. I don't know how many catches he has.
Can you look that up and see how many catches he has?
He's going to go over 1,000 yards.
Here's a guy that might have
three, four touchdowns.
Seven, eight pass breakups.
Double interceptions.
Yeah.
It's going to be hard
to overlook that, Ocho. It's just so
hard because he's playing both at an extremely high level and so when we look at it Woody was uh Charles
Wilson did it um Champ did it Miles uh Miles Jack did it but we thought of those guys as more
offensive I mean a defensive player I'm not so sure that people don't think that Trav is more
of an offensive player because he's
so dynamic.
And those guys,
they had packages.
They didn't play every snap.
You know what scares me a little bit?
When it comes to Travis Hunter
or even Shador being mentioned
and taken seriously about being able to win
the Heisman, It's about all the people
that aren't fond
of Dion. All the people that
aren't fond of Prime and
the success that he's having.
I hope it doesn't affect
those that are doing the voting when it comes to the Heisman
race. It just doesn't
sit right with me. Shador hasn't been
in the talks about the Heisman race
to me, for what it seemed like for a very
long time. And they're playing
it fair and well. I don't hear a name because I'm
getting wrong. They talk about everybody else
outside of Shador. Obviously
Travis Hunter is doing what he's doing
and that's a goddamn
no-brainer. But it's the fact that
Shador's name isn't being brought up
in talks and it's not on charges,
it's not on graphs.
It's weird to me and I just hope that people's personal issue
with prime and the Colorado Buffaloes doesn't affect the players
that are playing well.
Yeah, I agree.
But I think Shador's having an unbelievable season.
I mean, I think he has 21 touchdowns, six interceptions.
He's still completing, what, 70 plus percent of his passes,
which is really, really good.
He just so happens to be playing on a team with a guy
that's playing both sides of the football.
He's playing both of those at an extremely high level.
You know, it happens.
It's kind of like, you know, you have two basketball players,
and they're both really good,
but one is just having a crazy, crazy season.
I mean, you know, so we've seen that happen before.
All right, Ocho, Colorado is one game away from being bold and lucky.
George Sanders went 23 of 33 passes, 250 yards, two touchdowns,
a rushing touchdown with two interceptions.
Travis Hunter started after injuring his shoulder against
Kansas State, but
with a 28-3 lead,
he sat out the entire second half
to rest that shoulder. The
Buffaloes improved to 5-2 with a
win today.
They ain't been 5-2 since 2014,
man. I think 2014, something
like that.
Yeah.
They look good today, man. they look like a completely different team they look like a completely
different team they could have put up more points than they did too they could have put up more
points than they did and you say they're bowl eligible with one more win right you gotta get
a six they just beat ari Arizona. Who do they have next?
Do you know? I don't. Who do they got?
Who's on the schedule?
Do they play Arizona State this year?
Cincinnati.
They got Cincinnati at home.
Okay, that's a dub.
What tech?
Texas Tech got trounced today.
Texas Tech, they not good this year, huh?
They throw the ball around.
Yeah.
Listen, they always been like that.
So, hell, the Buffs got a chance to go 7-2.
Yeah.
The score was 28-7.
Colorado was up 28-7 at the half. And so Travis Hunter, Coach Prime gave him the rest of the day off. They're doing a great job. They ran the football,
Ocho, they ran the football, 39 rushes,
148 yards.
Webster had another big day
receiving the ball, eight for a buck,
27, 23,
had 23 completions for
250 yards, two touchdowns,
and they ran the ball.
This is one of the times, Ocho, when you look at it,
they had more rushing attempts than passing attempts. Yeah, and you know what's funny? When you're ran the ball. This is one of the times, though, Joe, when you look at it, they had more rushing attempts than passing attempts.
Yeah.
And you know what's funny?
When you're running the ball efficient like that
and you're gashing teams like that, it balances out the playbook.
You can do what you want to do in the pass game
when you know you can run the ball.
Mm-hmm.
It makes everything easier.
Everything easier.
Oh, Texas Tech ain't that bad they are five and two
byu sits atop the conference at four and oh tied with iowa state at four and oh k state is three
and one day six and one texas tech is three and one in the conference cincinnati is three and one
in the conference colorado is three and one in the conference seven and oh seven and oh six and one five and two five and two five and two kansas state has the advantage because they already beat
colorado head to eight colorado yeah so but this game you know hey they can do some damage win
against cincinnati and hey i like i but i like it seems to me that they're they are they get better
they just can't have that low because remember what they did to you ucf ocho they went down there But I like – it seems to me that they are – they get better.
They just can't have that low because remember what they did to UCF, Ocho?
They went down there and they dominated the most complete game.
Even Coach Prime came on and said, this was our most complete game.
And the next week, all of a sudden, they forgot how to stop the run and how to protect your door.
So hopefully they played – they like, you know what?
This is how we got to where we needed to be.
Let's continue this.
But that defensive line,
they were attacking today.
They did an unbelievable job.
Travis Hunter went on Destroying's podcast
and said he wishes he could stay in Colorado
and play for the Broncos
because of the love the community has shown him.
He says, neighbors, leave
signs before the game and
watch his dog when he's on the road.
That's live.
It is. I mean,
hey, look. That's one thing.
Hey,
they love. What?
Oh, my God.
They love.
Look, obviously he's a phenomenal player.
Phenomenal talent.
Did you see that goddamn picture of him, that video of him playing basketball?
Oh, boy.
Oh, yeah.
He got some – yeah, he can elevate.
But I can just imagine if he played for the Broncos.
Could you imagine him and Pastor Tame Jr.?
One on one side, Travis Hunt on the other. Imagine if he played for the Broncos. Could you imagine him and pass 13, Junior?
One on one side, Travis Hano and other.
They're locking down for sure.
They're locking down for sure.
But unfortunately, I don't know.
The Broncos, I mean, I don't think the Broncos would take him.
I mean, nobody would pass him up unless you need a quarterback.
Unless you need a quarterback.
Because all things being equal,
I'm always going to take a quarterback.
I don't care. I need a guy
that's going to score the points.
Because he touched the ball too much.
Sometimes the person that touched the ball too much can also put you in harm's
way, as we've seen so far.
Obviously,
our quarterbacks are
created equal, but
I give you a choice. Patrick Mahomes
or Travis Hunter?
Josh
Allen or Travis Hunter?
Lamar Jackson or Travis Hunter?
Jane Daniels or Travis Hunter?
CJ Stroud or Travis Hunter?
Dak Prescott or Travis Hunter hunter daniel jones or travis hunter
trevor lawrence well first you see you see but here's the thing though ocho i don't
oh so here's the thing i don't believe had daniel jones not going to duke
and been to and been coached David Cutcliffe,
coached Peyton, and coached Eli.
So you got two number one overall picks that was coached by him.
You know the scouts.
Oh, this guy has an arm better than Peyton and Eli.
This guy's more athletic than Peyton and Eli.
This guy sees the field.
He's bigger.
He's stronger.
A lot, a lot, a lot.
Now, you heard what David Cutcliffe said?
Now, he coached Peyton and Eli.
Now, he would know if anybody would know.
Same thing if Rel says something about you.
Now, you know Rel don't know.
Now, she's been with him for five years.
See?
You see how that go, Ocho?
See?
So, somebody that has coached two guys won Super
Bowls MVP Super Bowl
MVPs now he's coaching somebody
else and he says oh as far as
talent I think he might have more talent
now I'm not saying he's going to be Peyton
Manning but
could he be Eli
Eli was a two
time Super Bowl winner
go to the Hall of Fame.
So, yeah, Trav, man, he's phenomenal, bro.
He's phenomenal.
Hopefully he's enjoying his time out there on the bye week this week, Coach O.
And then they come back at home against Kansas State.
Yeah, I'm going to go to that game.
You going to the game?
I mean, Travis talked about NIL saying,
it's not about the NIL, it's about the NFL.
If I would have went somewhere else,
I could have gotten a major amount of money.
You see where I'm at?
With the best coach that's going to put me in the best situation.
Time has made it abundantly clear.
The young man said he wanted to play offense and defense.
Time gave him
that opportunity because he didn't want
to rob him of his
God-given ability.
Now, all I can do
is do, when he's under my
tutelage, let him play offense and defense.
Once he goes to the next level...
I think...
If he went anywhere else outside of Colorado,
you think they would allow him to play offense and defense? I think if he went anywhere else outside of Colorado, you think they would allow him to play offensive defense?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
