Catchall Deion Sanders Thread

Colorado’s merchandise sales for the entire year alone are up a whopping 819%. Hope that dude has a bonus structure!

Imagine making $500k per year on merchandise, then walking in one day and ripping the discount tags off all your clothing and random bs and putting in a price increase on all of them. You had to hire 25 more people to run your store, process online transactions, etc. Your IT guy’s damn near having a meltdown because his server is heating up and he’s worried it will crash due to all the volume. There’s supposed to be only 100-150 purchases a day, not 1500. You the have to wake up the Purchasing gal to call the Nike rep because you ran out of shirts on day 2. They didn’t even know who she was, but instead of needing 100 shirts she now needs 2-3000 and she needs them right ööööing now. He’s committed to stealing from Idaho, Cal St Long Beach and Alabama St plus poaching some from UCF. Wake and Purdue. They’re still 2-3 weeks away if you could find a Fedex driver. You raise your prices again to try to slow the onslaught. Nobody cares, they keep ordering because it’s a frenzy and they must have gear.

You go from making maybe $40k per month to $300k, you think you could clear $500k/month but you’ve already wiped out Sport Authority of unbranded shirts and Walmart’s about running out, GT bought all the gold thread so you had to go to Bangladesh and your waiting on sewing machines to clear customs at the Mexican border. Thank God Texas is bussing you labor otherwise you’d have to raise wages.

Glad we don’t have Colorado’s problems. We can still get our $5 tix on stubhub or freebies from friends and sit where we want, we can drive up 30 mins before kickoff and park in the GT Hotel lot or Varsity, if we don’t want to pay $45 for a GT shirt we wait for it to hit the clearance rack after Homecoming is over and get it for $19.99. Or we wear that same shirt we been wearing for a decade for year 11.

Life is good in Atlanta.

There’s an Adele song in there. Bitter about being snubbed by a crush. All the things you should’ve done different. Stalking him with his new love. Work on rhyming the lyrics, find a melody, and pitch it to her. You could make bank on the royalties.

$90 M worth of ad coverage for DEION SANDERS not Colorado.

Colorado sold their soul for Deion. He is bigger than the program and the school. If you don't believe it just ask him, he'll tell you.



It may not look like a problem right now at 3-0, but sooner or later it will be.

He's right though. Once he leaves, the Buffs will return to öööö football and irrelevancy.
