Cam’ron “Embarrassed” After Mase Ditched Colorado For USC At Halftime

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron called out his It Is What It Is co-host Ma$e for his antics in Boulder this past weekend. The pair rolled up to support Deion Sanders and Colorado. However, Ma$e ditched the Buffs for the Trojans as they entered halftime with USC leading 34-14. Ma$e went as far as to post a video of himself dancing to “Who Let the Dogs Out” on USC’s sideline.

“How da fuck he get on their sideline?! N-gga Betha talking bout ‘USC adopted him’ in his caption. I told n-ggas had everything laid out for you. You had your own suite ready, they had the car service ready for you, catering, and once n-ggas start losing. How the fuck you get on the USC sideline? … You embarrassed me, man… People seen that it was a little embarrassing for me, man.” Ma$e tried to defend himself, saying he was off getting Smashburger when he was simply swept up by the USC crowd.

Cam’ron Sticks With Colorado Through Failed Comeback

While Ma$e may have ditched the Buffs at halftime, that’s when the game actually got interesting. Trailing 34-14, a completely different Buffs team took the field in the third quarter. The Buffs outscored the Trojans 27-14 in the second half and were an onside kick recovery away from at least forcing overtime. However, USC recovered the kick and killed the clock to hang on for a 48-41 victory. If they had been successful, the 27-point comeback would have been the largest in school history. That record is held by the Buffs’ 20-point comeback against Missouri in 1978.

The loss dropped Colorado to 3-2 on the season and made their all-time record against the Trojans a dismal 0-17. Shedeur Sanders had 371 yards, four touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown. Meanwhile, receiver Omarion Miller had 196 yards and a score. However, the defense was absolutely torched through the air by USC. Caleb Williams had six passing touchdowns, with two going to former Buffs receiver Brendan Rice. Next week, the Buffs travel to 1-4 Arizona State.

It’s gonna be alright buddy. Take care.” Cam shared the clip on Instagram and added: “OJ trolling me on tx? [face palm emoji & crying laughing emojis] it ain’t over yet juice!! Lol.”

Cam’ron previously traveled to Colorado to meet new head coach Deion Sanders and the rest of the team. During an episode of his sports talk show, It Is What It Is, on September 11. Cam’ron reflected on the trip. “Shoutout to Coach Prime, he laid the pink carpet out for me. Went down to Boulder, it was cr*zy. First of all, we on the field, we in the suite, chicken and waffles, steak, champagne — whatever we wanted… Really appreciate that,” he said at the time. “Then the pre-game speech the n***a went cr*zy. I was ready to grab some shoulder pads and a helmet. I was ready to go cr*zy, my n***a. I’m ready to knock a n***a head off behind this shit, man.” Check out Simpson and Cam’ron’s interaction below.

Colorado Students Told To Behave During USC Game

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Colorado Athletic Director Rick George penned a letter to the student body this week as the Buffs prepare to take on #8 USC. George’s letter outlined the behavioral expectations being placed on students attending the game. “We want to remind [students] of our expectations of fan conduct during games. We expect all our fans to refrain from vulgar language, verbal or physical abuse, underage drinking, and overall intoxication. This type of conduct will not be tolerated at our home sporting events, and I have instructed our gameday staff and members of law enforcement to enhance their monitoring efforts of our fans’ conduct.

Furthermore, George asked fans to refrain from storming the field in the event Colorado wins as 21.5-point underdogs. “Although ‘rushing the field’ has long been a college football tradition, in recent years, many schools and conferences are cracking down on the practice, as it greatly jeopardizes the safety of players, coaches, staff and other fans,” the statement continued. “Rushing the field is in violation of University and Pac-12 regulations. Unfortunately, after both of our first two home games, we received an inordinate number of complaints regarding fan conduct (especially student conduct), and after both of our home game victories, students and fans ‘rushed the field.’ Such conduct is unacceptable, and I ask you to please refrain from such behavior for any future events.”

Deion Sanders Claim He Does Nothing But Respect Opposing Coaches

Meanwhile, head coach Deion Sanders has opened up about a level of disrespect he has perceived from opposing coaches. “I have an enormous amount of respect for all the other coaches. It’s just not reciprocated. Have you ever heard me say anything derogatory about a player or coach? Not even when I played I was known to be this talker. I don’t do that. Even when I played, you thought I did, but I’ve never talked to my opponents, I never [have]. I don’t believe in that, man, I just don’t. But I have a tremendous amount of respect for all of them, especially Lincoln Riley and some of these guys who have been consistently really good and have been consistent leaders; not only leading their teams to a multitude of victories, but leading these guys into the NFL. I have a tremendous amount of respect for them.”

USC, led by the aforementioned Riley, will be a tough challenge for Colorado. The Trojans have the highest-scoring offense in the country and a defense that’s only allowing 20 points a game. As mentioned, Colorado is once again one of the biggest underdogs of the week, with USC favored by 21.5. Only Charlotte, Northwestern, Nevada, and Stanford are bigger underdogs this weekend. We’ll be sure to report what goes down in the game tomorrow evening.

Travis Hunter And Henry Blackburn Link Up To Quash Beef Rumors

September 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Colorado two-way star and Colorado State defensive starter Henry Blackburn linked up this week to show there’s no bad blood between the two players. A Colorado State spokesperson told ESPN that the two players met and went bowling this week. Rumors of a grudge have circulated ever since Blackburn’s illegal hit on Hunter two weeks ago left Hunter with a lacerated liver. The meet-up will be part of an upcoming video on Hunter’s YouTube channel. Blackburn’s teammate Ron Hardge III, whose brother plays at Colorado, helped connect the two players.

Even with any notion of bad blood quashed, Hunter remains on the sidelines. He missed Colorado’s 42-6 loss to Oregon last weekend and is set to miss their upcoming game against #8 USC on Saturday. It’s unclear how many more games he will miss. Colorado’s first two games of October are a road game against Arizona State and a home game against Stanford.

Colorado Given “Puncher’s Chance” Against USC

#8 USC and Heisman candidate Caleb Williams is certainly not the opponent that Colorado would want to face without Hunter. However, they haven’t been counted out completely. ESPN‘s Paul Finnebaum said that the Buffs have a “puncher’s chance” against USC. “They are playing one of the better teams in the country, but one that is still suspectable on defense.” While other contributors one Get Up, Football weren’t as confident in an upset, they were still willing to argue that Colorado has come leaps and bounds from their one-win 2022 campaign.

While the loss to Colorado killed most of the “Colorado National Champions” momentum, most pundits see the Buffs as, at the very least, a bowl team this year. To do that, they will need a minimum of three more wins to finish at least 6-6. Arizona State (1-3) and Stanford (1-3) both seem like good candidates to get them to five wins. However, that’s where the gimmes end for Colorado. The rest of their slate is UCLA (3-1), #19 Oregon State (3-1), Arizona (3-1), #16 Washington State (4-0), and #10 Utah (4-0).

Deion Sanders Defends Sean Payton And The Broncos

September 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deion Sanders has come to the defense of Sean Payton and the ailing Denver Broncos. “Hey, leave my guy alone. Leave my guy alone. I love the Broncos. I love their coach, and Sean Payton’s my guy. He’s going to get it right, I promise you that,” Sanders told the media this week. Payton is under increasing pressure in Denver following a 0-3 start and their recent 70-20 loss to the Dolphins. Fans have already begun to call for the veteran coach’s head. Furthermore, Payton publicly refused to fire defensive co-ordinator Vance Joseph despite the 70-point drubbing this past weekend.

However, Sanders is no stranger to rough losses himself. This past weekend, the wheels came off the Colorado hype train as they were blown out of the water 42-6. While people have not called for Sanders to be fired, the glow has substantially dimmed. Fans are bracing themselves for another rough weekend as the now unranked Colorado welcome #8 USC to Folsom Field.

Stephen A. And Shannon Sharpe Debate Sanders

Meanwhile, Colorado’s first loss was a major topic for Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe on First Take this week. The pair were largely in agreement that Oregon exposed a lot of the flaws in this current Colorado squad. That led them to advise that Sanders focus on recruiting linemen for both sides of the ball. Furthermore, both of them agreed that there was nothing wrong with the trash talk that Oregon coach Dan Lanning had been laying down in the run-up to the game. Lanning had gotten so heat for some of his comments, such as stating that Colorado hadn’t brought much of note to the Pac-12. While some people saw it as haters hating, others saw it as Lanning speaking facts. Colorado will leave the Pac-12 never having won the conference title and only ever contesting it once.

However, both Smith and Sharpe believe that Colorado will be in a position to beat top teams next year. At the time of writing, Colorado has non-conference games against North Dakota State, Nebraska, and Colorado State. After that slate, they will play their first Big 12 regular season since 2010.

Deion Sanders Labels Blowout Loss To Oregon “A Good, Old-Fashioned Butt-Kicking”

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deion Sanders spoke candidly after his Colorado team’s 42-6 blowout loss to Oregon on Saturday. He described the game as a “good, old-fashioned butt-kicking” and made no excuses for his squad. Colorado was ranked No. 19 coming into the contest while Oregon was positioned at No. 10.

“A good, old-fashioned butt-kicking. No excuses,” Sanders said afterward, according to The Athletic‘s David Ubben. “Their coaches did a good job preparing their team. Obviously, we didn’t.” From there, he addressed his confidence in the game prior to kickoff. On that note, he added: “People around the country will say this is what they needed to humble themselves. We weren’t arrogant. We’re confident people. Our confidence offends their insecurity.”

Deion Sanders Arrives At Autzen Stadium

Oregon won’t be the last test for Colorado. The team is set to take on No. 5 USC, next week, on September 30. Since taking over as head coach, Deion Sanders has brought historic excitement to the Colorado program. His son, Shedeur Sanders, is the starting quarterback for the team and has helped lead them to a 4-1 start with victories over TCU, Nebraska, and rival Colorado State. For their latest game, the team was without their star wide receiver/cornerback, Travis Hunter.

Hunter went down with a lacerated liver injury suffered during the game against Colorado State, last week. “Travis is always missed. He’s the best dern player in college football. That’s like you writing an article and your pen is missing,” Deion Sanders said of Hunter’s absence. He expects Hunter to miss three weeks with the injury. For Oregon, quarterback Bo Nix was instrumental in the victory, completing 28 of his 33 passes for a total of 276 passing yards and three touchdowns. Be on the lookout for further updates on Colorado’s season on HotNewHipHop.

Deion Sanders Freaks Out After Seeing Rat In His Office: Watch

September 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deion Sanders may be preparing to face the Ducks this week, but it appears that his real opponents are rats. Sanders took to social media to complain about spotting a rodent in his office in Boulder. “Something looking at me like, ‘What’s up?’ and I looked down and made eye contact…and it’s over. I’m early, really early. I come here early, but I need to wait for everybody to get in because they’re gonna have somebody come in and take these shoes and take everything out of this office because I made eye contact with a mouse. We called it a rat, but it wasn’t big enough to be a rat, but it was a mouse. I’m scared. I can’t do this. I can’t live like this. I’m in Boulder, Colorado. I cannot live like this. So help is going to be on the way today. One of us has got to go,” Sanders said in a video on social media.

Pac-12 begins this week for the Buffs with a trip to #10 Oregon. The Ducks are projected to finish fourth in the conference and even received a first-place vote in preseason media voting. However, Colorado will be Oregon’s first real test of the season as well after wins over Portland State, Texas Tech, and Hawai’i. After Oregon is a matchup against #5 USC, led by Heisman favorite Caleb Williams. Beyond that, the Buffs have four other (currently) ranked matchups in #22 UCLA, #14 Oregon State, #21 Washington State, and #11 Utah.

Sanders Invites DaBaby To Colorado

However, the Buffs should do everything they can to pick Deion over the rat after he landed a big-name recruit this week. Sanders has been exchanging social media pleasantries with DaBaby in recent days. It all began when DaBaby hit up Coach Prime while attending the Panthers’ loss to the Saints with his kids. “PRIME WE NEED YOU IN CAROLINA AFTER YOU BRING THAT CHAMPIONSHIP TO COLORADO. Hit my line coach, let’s talk. @deionsanders.” Deion responded some time later, inviting the rapper up to Boulder. “Lolololol. I’m good here. I need u here my brother. And bring the babies. Prime loves the kids.”

However, after video emerged of DaBaby showing of his skills, Sanders hit DaBaby once again. “Quick feet good release and u stacked the DB,” Sanders commented on the post. “We know you’re a Dogg so You got a offer to play At COLORADO. Let’s go Baby.”

Lil Wayne Praises Deion Sanders For His Impact On College Football

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne gushed about his respect for Deion Sanders during a recent interview with Billboard. “I never doubt Unc. I would never doubt him. I think if you were to ask me that question before the season or even before that day I walked in there, I think I probably would have said the same thing. I would have said I could see them at 3-0. I spoke to him that night and his confidence was through the roof, past the stars and the moon.”

Furthermore, Wayne said that Sanders isn’t trying to build Black or hip-hop culture in Colorado, he’s merely working with the vibes around him. “Honestly, with Unc, this ain’t even him trying to bring hip-hop to it, it’s him just going off the vibes and the moods of the kids that he’s coaching. If they love Taylor Swift, he’ll try his hardest to get her up in there. [Laughs.] Trust me, he’s just going off the vibes. Like I said, they’ll run through walls for him because they understand that he’ll do whatever for them, as well. He’s only going to do it for the better of them.”

Nick Saban Sings Sanders’ Praises

However, Tunechi isn’t the only person hyping up Sanders right now. Alabama’s Nick Saban also spoke on Sanders during his weekly media availability. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Deion Sanders. First, he’s a great person and he’s done a great job of marketing the program to create a lot of national interest. But I see their team playing well on the field. They play with discipline, they do a good job of executing, they’ve been able to score points, playing decent on defense. So all those things, to me, are indicators that he’s a really good coach,” Saban told reporters on Wednesday.

Furthermore, Saban noted that this was an opinion he had held prior to Sanders’ arrival in Colorado. “He’s always been successful whether it was Jackson State, high school or now in Colorado. His teams have always been well coached.” Sanders began his coaching journey at his Prime Prep Academy in Texas in 2012. He also coached at Triple A Academy and Trinity Christian Community College before landing the Jackson State job in 2020. He went 27-6 with the SWAC powerhouse.

Deion Sanders Has Harsh Words For Colorado Ahead Of Oregon Clash

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Colorado may be 3-0 but Deion Sanders is far from happy. Sanders had some harsh truths for his team as they prepare to open Pac-12 play against #10 Oregon. “We haven’t played a complete game. We have not played a game where the offense, defense as well as special teams has all shown up in the same manner. If the offense is playing well, the defense is hot garbage. If the defense is playing well, offense is horrible and special teams aren’t special, so we got to put it all together to be able to defeat a team like Oregon,” Sanders said.

The comments come after Colorado beat in-state rivals Colorado State by eight in double overtime despite entering the game as 23.5-point favorites. Furthermore, the Buffs needed an 11-point fourth-quarter comeback to even force overtime in the first place. They enter their first Pac-12 matchup of the season as 21-point underdogs. Of the other five ranked v ranked matchups this week, only one other (Iowa @ Penn State) has a double-digit favorite.

Sanders Invested In Long-Term Plan For Sons

Elsewhere, and despite the criticism, Sanders is clearly preparing to build the Buffs around his sons Shedeur and Shilo. While Shilo (senior) and Shedeur (junior) are draft-eligible in 2024, Coach Dad doesn’t seem thrilled at the idea of losing the two key starters. “Shilo said, ‘Oh, wow, Shedeur, look. You gonna be in the NFL next year.’ I said, ’No he ain’t.’ …You all ain’t going nowhere,” Deion said in a video posted by Well Off Media. The comments were made while taking in the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Commanders.

The Sanders brothers have been key additions to a surging Colorado squad this year. Shedeur (QB) has 1251 yards and 10 touchdowns through three games. His respective career bests are 3732 yards and 40 touchdowns. Meanwhile, Shilo (Safety) has 19 tackles and a pick-six. Both would likely be high draft picks if they declared. Pat McAfee has already labeled Shedeur as a top-three pick. However, it appears that they will have to wait until at least 2025 before they leave for the pros. If true, that means they will play a season of Big 12 football before leaving college.

Deion Sanders Tells His Sons They Aren’t Leaving For The NFL Next Year

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deion Sanders intends on getting another year out of his sons in Colorado. While Shilo (senior) and Shedeur (junior) are draft-eligible in 2024, Coach Dad doesn’t seem thrilled at the idea of losing the two key starters. “Shilo said, ‘Oh, wow, Shedeur, look. You gonna be in the NFL next year.’ I said, ’No he ain’t.’ …You all ain’t going nowhere,” Deion said in a video posted by Well Off Media. The comments were made while taking in the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Commanders.

Sanders Praised By Nick Saban

While he may be keeping his kids in school, Sanders is also getting high praise from some of the best coaches in the game. Alabama’s Nick Saban spoke on Sanders during his weekly media availability. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Deion Sanders. First, he’s a great person and he’s done a great job of marketing the program to create a lot of national interest. But I see their team playing well on the field. They play with discipline, they do a good job of executing, they’ve been able to score points, playing decent on defense. So all those things, to me, are indicators that he’s a really good coach,” Saban told reporters on Wednesday.
