Coach Prime Wants Cupcakes

Transcript:

Can you imagine Deion going through the schedule with his team this year. We go to Tucson this year to play the best QB/WR tandem in the conference. We play in Lawrence Kansas against a team that can hang 40 on anybody, we got Utah, Kansas, Oklahoma State back to back to back to close the season out. Let's go. We'll take on all comers. We got GO BIG RED week two in Lincoln. 90000 fans. Bring it on. Go out and battle week in and week out. Nothing's easy. This is power 4 football baby. We ain't coming we're here. Don't back down from anybody. But that's just for thee, not for me.

In the press conference after the game I want a cupcake schedule. I don't want any power 4 questions. I want cupcakes. I want questions about my birthday plans over the weekend. I want questions about my old Primetime dance after interceptions, I want questions about doing commercials for Aflac. I want cupcakes. And if some reporter wants to come in with a tough question...I'm gonna into the fetal position until he's removed from the premises. Any questions?

College Football's Gullibility for Star Ratings

Transcript:

"The goal of any great gangster is to become a made man. I know that from watching moveis. Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino. In Goodfella's Joe Pesci's whole goal in life is to become, made because once your made nobody can whack you. You have that protection. You're given respect not just by your own family but by other gangs. It's a label that stays with you for life.

It's like getting a 5 star rating as a high school quarterback. If you get made as a 5 star qb as a 17 year old kid. You've got it made. It doesn't matter how many times you screw up, you'll always be considered a 5-star because a group of of 45 year old dudes in windbreakers had a meeting and determined your destiny. DJ Uieungeleli was made when he was 17 years old. 5-star quarterback. Arm talent, mobility, 6'5" He went on to derail the Clemson dynasty because he stunk. Didn't matter. Got another shot at Oregon State, he's a 5 star high school quarterback he's going to Corvalis...they went 8-5 after going 10-3 the year before, doesn't matter he's a made man, he'll get another shot! Florida State! Huge NIL, have won 17 games in a row, they want the 5 star QB, he lost to the Ramblin' Wreck! In week 0. But... it doesn't matter. he'll get drafted. And it won't be because of his college resume, it'll be because he got 5 stars. He can't get whacked. Never go against the star rating."
