    DEBATE: Is Colorado Football's Deion Sanders or North Carolina's Bill Belichick on the HOT SEAT

    Two of college football’s most polarizing coaches are in the crosshairs as Kevin Borba and Isaac Shade dive into the futures of Deion Sanders and Bill Belichick. As national media speculation heats up, are these high-profile names truly on the verge of being ousted, or does local support and administrative backing paint a different picture? Both Colorado and UNC sit at a modest 4.5-win prediction for the season, but the pressure-cooker environments couldn’t be more different. Kevin Borba unpacks the gravity of Deion’s meteoric rise and fall—from a 9-win breakthrough to a rocky path riddled with roster overhauls and national scrutiny—while Isaac Shade breaks down how Belichick’s enigmatic NFL legacy, behind-the-scenes drama, and the turbulence of a grueling schedule have fans and boosters on edge.  Expect candid debate on which coach is most likely to be fired first, whether making a bowl game is enough to turn down the temperature, and how new athletic directors on both campuses might influence the fate of these massive personalities. The guys offer bold predictions—taking the over for Colorado and the under for UNC—and riff on what it’ll take for either program to steady the ship in an era of outsized fame and unrelenting expectations.  This episode is can’t-miss for fans invested in college football’s wildest sidelines, where a single misstep could topple even the biggest brands. Will Deion and Belichick silence the doubters, or will this season mark the end of an era in Boulder or Chapel Hill? Strap in—this Crossover set the stage for one of the wildest coaching races in the country.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #CollegeFootball     Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

    UNDER FIRE: Big 12 Rival Says Deion Sanders Will Get FIRED

    Deion Sanders’ future at Colorado is under intense scrutiny as speculation swirls about his job security. Amid heated debate, the spotlight is on Sanders’ need to convert hype into on-field wins, with questions about whether his recent overhaul—hiring a new coaching staff, boosting recruiting, and showing renewed commitment—will buy him enough time to prove he’s building more than a sideshow. The conversation pivots to Baylor’s Dave Aranda and Cincinnati’s Scott Satterfield, with both sitting firmly in the Big 12’s hot seat crosshairs. While Sanders commands national attention, the threat of early-season firings looms larger for underperforming programs, sparking debate about which coaches are at greatest risk of being ousted by Halloween.  In a major off-field storyline, the Big 12’s much-hyped sponsorship deal with Monster Energy is taking flak. Despite aggressive branding efforts and promises of fresh revenue, the $1 million-per-team patch partnership is widely panned as a “monster whiff,” paling in comparison to lucrative Big Ten deals and drawing criticism for its garish visual impact. The episode questions whether Brett Yormark’s bold marketing moves can keep pace with the power conferences, or if the Big 12 is simply grasping at straws. To close, the hosts dish out their Big 12 superlatives, forecasting surprise teams, coaches on the brink, and quarterbacks ready to shape the race.  As the season churns toward kickoff, the College Crossover crew breaks down the names and narratives set to define the new-look conference race.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege  #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10. .

    ALERT: College Football Insider Says Prime Effect is Done for Colorado Football

    Has the Coach Prime effect really run its course in Boulder? Kevin Borba fires back at recent headlines claiming Colorado's luster has faded, breaking down the real story behind viewership drops and why the Buffs are still a national draw. With Colorado football ranking top-30 in TV eyes despite last year’s rocky record, is the media narrative missing the point about Deion Sanders' ongoing impact?  Fall camp is almost in the books, but huge position battles remain unsettled. Kevin Borba drills into the nickelback showdown, the scramble for the fourth linebacker, Colorado’s wide-open running back competition, and crucial decisions looming on the offensive line and pass rush.  Who will step up and claim roles as Georgia Tech prep ramps up? Plus, another big win off the field: Progressive Insurance jumps in as a key sponsor, boosting Colorado’s profile (and bank account) as the athletic department plots its next leap forward under new AD Fernando Lobo. Kevin Borba details why this signals smart business for the Buffs' brand—whether or not Coach Prime is around for the long haul. Is the Prime effect truly dead, or is Boulder still at the center of college football’s biggest spotlight? Kevin Borba says don’t believe the hype—Colorado’s story is very much alive, and the next chapter is about to unfold.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

    BREAKING: Julian Lewis INJURED in Colorado Buffaloes Camp—Will He Miss WEEK 1 vs Georgia Tech?

    Colorado quarterback Julian “Juju” Lewis set off alarm bells after missing multiple practices with an undisclosed injury, just as Buffs fans look ahead to the Week 1 showdown against Georgia Tech. While Kevin Borba quickly assures the faithful that Juju has returned to practice and is slinging the ball again, questions linger about his rapport with a brand-new offensive line and receiver corps — especially with key targets like Danny Scudero and Cam Perry also banged up.  Is Colorado ready for the opener, or are depth concerns creeping in? Kevin Borba breaks down the Buffs’ quarterback room, highlighting backup Isaac Wilson’s gunslinger mentality and Colorado’s quietly strong depth compared to the rest of the Big 12. Meanwhile, off-field drama looms as Coach Prime could be tangled up in a courtroom, subpoenaed to testify at his son Shiloh Sanders’ bankruptcy trial the same week as the opener. Will legal distractions sideline the Buffs’ head coach, or will the judge cut some slack?  Camp competition ramps up as veterans and transfers scrap for starting jobs at nearly every spot. Running back is suddenly wide open, with Jaquale Smith overtaking transfer standout Richard Young down the depth chart. On defense, new faces on the line and in the secondary are grabbing headlines, while the offensive front remains in flux with surprise candidates like Sean Kinney pushing for starting center. With injuries already mounting and so many new pieces to integrate, Kevin Borba delivers the essential updates Buffs fans need before Georgia Tech arrives — and before another off-field curveball hits Boulder.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10. .   The Game Don't miss this chance to celebrate 40 years of The Game with 40% off your entire order. Visit https://TheGameCaps.com and use promo code LOCKEDONat checkout. 5-Hour ENERGY Bring on the sweetness with Cotton Candy 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots—available online now at https:/5hourENERGY.com or on Amazon.

    WOW: ACC Insider says Colorado and Deion Sanders will get "Murdered" by Georgia Tech

    Colorado Buffaloes face major skepticism as ACC Network’s Eric Mac Lain predicts they’ll get “murdered” by Georgia Tech. Are the Buffs truly outmatched, or is the hype around Georgia Tech overblown? Kevin Borba and Jay Smith break down Colorado’s revamped size and depth, spotlighting the defensive line’s upgrades and the ongoing social media narrative labeling CU as “small.” Key questions arise about Georgia Tech’s new offensive coordinator, unproven quarterbacks, and whether the Yellow Jackets have the edge everyone assumes.  Discussion heats up on Coach Prime’s controversial media restrictions at practice—are they strategic gamesmanship or just protecting the team narrative? Plus, the hosts share what excites them most: Chris Marv’s rebuilt linebacker room, the explosive go-go offense under Brennan Marion, and newfound roster depth. Can a revitalized team culture and key playmakers like Boo Carter help Colorado smash expectations this season?  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10. .

    OH: These FIVE players are shining for Deion Sanders and Colorado

    Colorado football is turning heads as Coach Prime and the Buffaloes gear up to silence skeptics ahead of the 2026 season. With unfriendly preseason projections and critics doubting their Big 12 readiness, a wave of returning talent—including Chauncey Gooden, Quentin Gibson, Makari Vickers, and Boo Carter—are making major leaps, fueled by a stronger culture and renewed focus. Kevin Borba details how an overhauled linebacker corps, featuring standouts like Gideon Lampron and Leon LaFau, could be the key to transforming Colorado’s defense from last year’s liability into this season’s biggest strength. The show dives deep on the team’s improved mentality, off-field growth, and why additions like play-caller Brendan Marion could help unlock the roster’s full potential. With Coach Prime more “bought in” than ever and the Buffs thriving on being underrated, Kevin Borba lays out why this team is poised to exceed lowly expectations, chase bowl eligibility, and spark a new era of Buffaloes football. Is Colorado really destined to finish near the Big 12 basement, or will they turn the national narrative upside down?   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10. .   The Game Don't miss this chance to celebrate 40 years of The Game with 40% off your entire order. Visit https://TheGameCaps.com and use promo code LOCKEDONat checkout.

    BIG 12 SQUAD - More College Football Realignment CHAOS | How this impacts Colorado

    Big 12 conference realignment chaos looms as the Protect College Sports Act threatens to trigger a wild reshuffling of teams. Could Clemson, Florida State, and Miami bolt for the SEC or Big Ten, while the Big 12 hunts for programs like Virginia Tech and Pitt? The Big 12 Squad weighs the potential fallout, debate league size caps, and question whether this shakeup finally returns tradition—or drives conferences further apart. Tensions rise as Iowa State head coach Jimmy Rogers stirs controversy by picking his own Cyclones to win the Big 12 after losing over 50 players to the transfer portal. The crew analyzes Rogers’ bold prediction, discusses BYU athletic department drama on Cougar Board, and the sustainability behind surprise AD hires. With candid takes and inside scoops, the Big 12 Squad tackles whether fan bases can find stability amid constant change or if college sports is forever spinning into uncertainty.
