Too Much Hype Regarding Colorado They “Barked” (+ 3TD’s) at T.C.U.

I am not against Deion Sanders, who in addition to great football player prowess, was a good baseball player and contributed to at least one Atlanta Braves’ pennant winning teams.

However, the unabashed Colorado hype (bad enough from Gus Johnson but also by Jenny Taft, promoting Fox being at Colorado, bet (plus 7 to -3) next Saturday vs Nebraska–(I correctly had “Neb” to cover, though in defeat vs Minnesota) even after “barking” as a 3 TD “dog,” vs last year’s second place team, Texas Christian University, is hard to take.

I had Colorado “small,” (I learned the hard way, I do win “small” seemingly never “big”) and hesitate to “take” with Nebby, however, do know the hype for Colorado is too much!!

By the way, again credit Sanders, certainly his son, Shedeur Sanders, who threw for over 500 yards and did he say or reference what (different meaning) he excelled doing as a player?

Hint: He was a defensive back, later playing both offense and defense.
