In Coach Prime We Still Trust

Deion Sanders 'Coach Prime' with Dylan Edwards.

Ouch! Oregon and old fashioned butt-kicking. No problem. Just a hiccup. It will be fixed in-house.

old post Sept 3, 2023 when CU Buffaloes won the first football game.

Finally. Deion Sanders got the results of the job interview yesterday. The Colorado Buffaloes defeated TCU 45-42. What do you mean yesterday? He was appointed Colorado University Football Coach last year. He was, but American college football was waiting for proof that he could actually do the job with so many new kids on the block. My bad, on the roster.

I don’t envy the man, because of stiff door knobs. I know about them because of Coach Prime’s motivational speeches to players under his watch. During one of them, he brought two players to the front of the class. One was taller more muscle-like, the other was shorter. Coach Prime was in the middle. These two guys pulled this way, and that way. His point was the need for change and retiring the mentality of the past.

That is human nature. This is the right way because I’ve done that for donkey years. If it didn’t work all those years, it needs to be changed, obviously. I think that is the big problem for Deion Sanders. That’s why he decided to use drama to illustrate that point about cohesion within the team and not pulling in different directions.

Coach Prime has used sand paper to fix some of those stiff door knobs. Others are still frayed, and he alluded to that in the post game media briefing. After Colorado Buffs’ win on 2 September, Richard Johnson wrote in Sports Illustrated: “So much of running a college football program is promoting a culture of buy-in and belief…….”

Colorado Buffaloes had a problem, 1-11. Deion Sanders is here to fix it. Stiff door knobs believe he cannot. The man has a lot on his plate. Therefore, they should open the door to let him in, on their way out. They nearly cost him the maiden voyage against TCU.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
