Hunter and Sanders Numbers Being Retired at Colorado

[redseat]

Do they deserve it?

Colorado will retire Shedeur Sanders' No. 2, Travis Hunter's No. 12 | FOX Sports

Hunter concluded his Colorado career with 153 catches for 1,979 yards and 20 TDs (he also had a rushing score). On defense, Hunter finished with seven interceptions, notched 16 pass breakups and forced a fumble. All that with opposing offenses shying away from his side of the field.

He rarely left the field, either. Hunter played in a total 2,625 snaps, which led the FBS in 2023 and ‘24.

Sanders broke many of the program's passing records in leading the Colorado offense.

not in the least. it's a joke. neither.

Tim Tebow won 2 natties and won the Heisman, and his number isn't retired. of course, his daddy didn't coach the team and run the ADs office.

how did they do in their bowl game? oh yeah, they got killed by BYU 36-14.

It cracks me up how for the last two years, we are supposed to treat Colorado like they are Alabama, Ohio State, or Texas. What? for going 9-4 and 4-8 under neon deion? GMAFB. or are we supposed to look at the past two years' results through a DEI filter? that it? The ridiculous hype needs to end. it isn't justified. So colorado has a little better than ave. QB and WR/CB. congrats. Wonder how these two would have done against B1G and SEC defenses/offenses.........

It’s weird how fast their numbers are being retired. I think they probably deserve it, especially Hunter since he did win the Heisman, but the way it’s happening so fast makes me think it’s more self promotion from Deion who has a large ego and wants to show off.

Oh this is all Deion! Players have actually won at a Colorado and nothing. Didn't it take one guy 20 years or something to get his number retired?

That should have been in green font on my part. I was taking that from the article.

Fuck no. While there was a significant improvement for Colorado Football attributable to both of them in 2024, they did not put in enough winning games over a longer period of time, IMO.

meh. Hunter sure, Sanders not really. He broke records, but he also played in an offense that threw the ball a lot and did it against some rather pedestrian defenses save for Utah/Nebraska. Hunter is one of the most impressive CFB players of all-time.

eh, fuck their records. "breaking records" at a weak football school isn't impressive. the program had nowhere to go but up. They took the program from an F to a C - BFD. I still say, toss Hunter into the B1G or SEC and lets see how he does.

and SS.. He is going to get eaten alive in the NFL. completely overhyped.
