    CRINGE: Former Colorado Player Shades Deion Sanders and Program After Transferring to Georgia Tech

    Colorado football faces an early-season gut check as trash talk from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets reaches new levels. From Tafiq Thomas celebrating last year’s loss on social media to bold sack predictions by Braden Manley, Kevin Borba explains why CU absolutely must show up ready week 1—and why it’s no surprise so many faces from last season are now gone. Is this cockiness justified from a Georgia Tech squad coming off its “golden generation,” or are they setting themselves up for a letdown?  On this episode, Kevin Borba spotlights who must step up for Colorado: Julian Lewis under the spotlight in his homecoming, an overhauled offensive line desperate to shed years of struggles, and a linebacking corps searching for redemption. Can Richard Young finally spark a dormant run game? Is Brendan Marion’s go-go offense ready for prime time? And will Deion Sanders silence doubters with sharper game management after last year’s misfires? Plus, respect is overdue—Kevin Borba highlights Lance Leipold’s rare, public praise for Coach Prime, breaking down why Deion Sanders’ leadership style and humility deserve more recognition in the Big 12 spotlight. Will Colorado turn the offseason noise into a statement win and reshuffle the narrative on and off the field?  This episode sets the stage for a prove-it showdown with huge implications for both programs.  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!

    DISRESPECT: Georgia Tech is Firing MAJOR Shots at Deion Sanders and Colorado

    Georgia Tech’s bold trash talk fires up Colorado ahead of their high-stakes clash—are the Yellow Jackets poking the bear? Kevin Borba breaks down why Georgia Tech’s confidence may not match their on-field reality, spotlighting last year’s narrow win, a suspect quarterback situation, and a defense that struggled to generate turnovers. Can Colorado flip the script after adding key depth to their secondary with Drew Molinari and fixing past run-game woes?  Brendan Marion’s arrival as offensive coordinator sparks renewed hope for the Buffaloes’ ground attack, with proven rushing stats at UNLV and Sac State raising expectations. Kevin Borba examines the new-look running back rotation, debates the impact of losing Jordan Seaton, and weighs Colorado’s physical readiness to compete in the trenches. Find out what these changes mean for Colorado’s shot at redemption—and which player might lead their rushing revival 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!

    OH: Colorado Has Some of the BEST Players in all of College Football

    Kevin Borba walks through his ballots and candidly assesses just how overlooked this team might be, spotlighting wideout Danny Scudero—who led the entire country in receiving yards last year—and tackling machine Gideon Lampron, whose journey from Dayton to Bowling Green now positions him as a defensive catalyst. Add in the freakish versatility of Boo Carter and it’s clear: the Buffs’ best don’t just stack up, they stand out. Roster shakeups and under-the-radar transfer additions fuel optimism, but skepticism persists following last season’s rocky results. Will dynamic newcomers like DeAndre Moore or physical safety Randon Fontanet grab a Top 100 spot, or will national pundits continue to look past Boulder’s retooled roster? Kevin Borba also tackles the media’s fraught fascination with Coach Prime—questioning whether critics are too quick to overlook staff upgrades and culture changes while preparing to pounce at any sign of struggle. With a brutal schedule and bowl eligibility in sight, the Buffs are fighting not just for wins, but for national respect. Are Danny Scudero and company primed for individual honors? Can Colorado silence doubters and move from lightning rod to legit contender? As the Top 100 debates rage on, Boulder is once again the center of the college football conversation.

    BIG 12 SQUAD - Big 12 INSANE Realignment Rumors | How this affects Colorado

    Texas Tech faces swirling ACC rumors and backlash, but is all the hate misplaced? The conversation focused on Big 12 Media Days fallout, Texas Tech’s public perception, and Joey McGuire’s standing after recent controversies. A key theme that emerged was the disconnect between fan uproar on social media and the reality inside the conference, with sources close to Texas Tech firmly denying any serious move to the ACC. The discussion explored Brett Yormark’s leadership, the much-criticized Monster Energy deal, and the experiment with LED courts, while comparing Big 12 stability to the chaos seen in the Pac-12. Several points were raised, including quarterback battles across the conference, Oklahoma State’s high-powered offense under Eric Morris, and whether Texas Tech’s fanbase can repair its relationship with the league. Will Texas Tech prove doubters wrong, or do deeper challenges remain for McGuire’s program in the evolving Big 12 landscape? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Deion Sanders has FAILED at Colorado in the Eyes of ESPN Analysts

    The national consensus may be calling Colorado and Deion Sanders a bust, but Kevin Borba and Jay Smith aren’t buying it. With media voices labeling the Buffaloes a “mirage” and writing off Coach Prime after only a year, the podcast dismantles the hype cycle and resets expectations: Colorado isn’t finished—this is the ultimate reset year. The hosts emphasize how Deion’s offseason staff shakeups and elite coordinator hires prove the Buffs are doubling down, not giving up.  Discussion pivots to essential on-field questions—will Brennan Marion’s run-focused offense finally deliver a legitimate ground game, and can a rebuilt defensive line plug last year’s glaring holes? Jay Smith breaks down why continuity, experienced transfers, and a healthy Coach Prime should push Colorado over its Vegas win total.  Regarding the off-field drama, Kevin Borba details the legal battle surrounding defensive line star Ezra Christensen. With eligibility on the line, the Buffs’ defensive ceiling could hinge on this NCAA fight. The hosts outline what’s at stake: Colorado with Christensen could be one of the Big 12’s biggest surprises; without him, the pass rush remains a major question. Locked on Buffs dissects media overreaction, debunks hot-seat talk, and previews why this Colorado team, led by a determined Deion Sanders, is primed for a turnaround—and why critics are getting ahead of themselves. Can the Buffaloes silence the doubters and prove 2024 is the true launching point for Coach Prime’s era?  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!  Indeed Listeners of this show get a $75 Sponsored Job Credit to help give your job the premium placement it deserves at http://Indeed.com/podcast FanDuel Today's episode is brought to you by FanDuel.

    WHY? College Football Insider DOUBTS Julian Lewis in a Major Way

    The conversation focused on the perception of Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Julian Lewis after a college football expert left him out of the Big 12’s top 10 quarterbacks. One concept discussed was the path for Lewis to break into those rankings: improving efficiency, distributing the ball to playmakers, and protecting the football were highlighted as crucial areas for his development this season. The discussion explored Big 12 quarterback rankings, comparing Lewis to the likes of Devin Dampier, Drew Messmaker, and DJ Lagway, and speculated how Lewis could climb the list if he realizes his potential.  A key theme that emerged was the identification of make-or-break “X factors” for Colorado’s upcoming campaign. Several points were raised, including Tulane transfer Santana Hopper’s potential to transform the defensive line, the unique journey and importance of receiver Danny Scudero, and Texas transfer Leona Lafau’s role in solidifying the linebacker corps. The versatility of Boo Carter on defense and the under-the-radar breakout potential of tight end Zach Atkinson were framed as pivotal for the Buffaloes’ success.  The conversation shifted to offensive coordinator Brendan Marion’s candid assessment of Colorado’s offensive line and quarterback room. Marion’s comparison of Julian Lewis to a second-year Quinn Ewers, and his bold claim that Colorado’s offensive line is better than the one he coached at Texas (outside of top draft pick Kelvin Banks), set a tone of rising confidence in Boulder. The discussion acknowledged the long-standing struggles of the Buffs' offensive front and suggested Marion’s blend of unpredictability and belief could be transformative. With renewed leadership, a more physical offensive line, and a roster full of potential difference-makers, the outlook for Colorado is one of cautious optimism. Can Lewis and the new X factors flip the Big 12 narrative and restore faith in the Buffaloes? The road to a breakthrough season may just run through Marion’s swagger and Lewis’ ascent.

    YIKES: ESPN Expert SHREDS Deion Sanders and Colorado Ahead of College Football

    Colorado faces national skepticism as ESPN analysts cast doubt on the Buffaloes’ Big 12 aspirations and playoff hopes. Can the Buffs defy critics under Deion Sanders and Brendan Marion, or will deep roster questions hold them back? As bowl droughts, quarterback chatter, and massive production turnover dominate the conversation, expectations for year two of Coach Prime’s tenure remain fiercely debated. Kevin Borba dives into Colorado’s projected win total, the reality behind its 55% returning production, and why a six- or seven-win season could still count as a big step forward.  The show unpacks why Julian Lewis being compared to Quinn Ewers is an ideal trajectory, mapping out how a solid, steady QB presence can anchor a program in transition. Plus, key position battles come into focus: will a rebuilt defensive line and an unproven running back corps finally deliver, or are these the red flags that could derail the season? With bowl wins eluding Colorado since 2004 and skepticism swirling over new transfers and coaching hires, this episode breaks down what it will actually take for the Buffaloes to overachieve. Can a new-look offense, improved run defense, and a more mature Lewis rewrite the narrative? Will Colorado shatter expectations—or are national pundits on the money?  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!
