For the second-straight week, the Buffaloes lost a game. Once the darling of college football, Colorado has fallen from 3-0 and in the top-25 to 3-2 and heading in the wrong direction.

It has some abandoning ship. It has some questioning whether the impact of Coach Prime in Boulder has any staying power.

Well, Deion Sanders doesn’t have time for any of that nonsense. Following CU’s loss to USC on Saturday, a 48-41 thriller at Folsom Field, the Buffs first-year head coach had a message for the naysayers.

“If you can’t see what’s coming with [Colorado] football, you’ve lost your mind. You just a flat out hater.”

He has a point. The Buffs are building toward something great.

There were a lot of big-time recruits on hand for the CU-USC game. And they had to be impressed with what they witnessed.

Mark my words after the experience I just had in Boulder today I’m pretty certain Colorado will have the #1 recruiting class next season!!
