Jackson State getting physically handled by a MEAC team in the Celebration Bowl for the second consecutive year. I scratched my head a little when Deion told the Colorado players to hit the portal because “we’ve got certain positions covered.” No, Prime, I don’t think you do.
Also, just anecdotally, I played high school football and was a very average player. One of our starting linebackers (who was no more talented than me), took offense when our head coach told him that not everyone was D1 material. When he received his scholarship offer to play at Alcorn State, he tried to show up Coach a little, who seemed simultaneously happy for him and also unimpressed. As the years go by, that reaction makes more sense.
