That’ll do it for the 2025 #CUBuffs season. How quickly things change.
Last year ended (kinda) with Travis Hunter’s triumphant Heisman Trophy victory in Manhattan (NYC).
This year ends with a 3-9 record (the worst of the Deion Sanders era) in Manhattan (Kan.).
On to the offseason ✌🏻

Deion Sanders when I asked if mentality is the biggest difference between the 2024 #CUBuffs and this year's team:
“Personnel is mentality. I don’t want to give you guys that easy (a) go of it because you’ve gotta have someone to blame... but what you just said is very right."

Parting message from Deion Sanders as #CUBuffs begin long offseason:

Deion Sanders on #CUBuffs players that may leave in offseason: “When a guy leaves a program that selected him, picked him or got him out the portal, he leaves for a multitude of reasons. The number one reason people leave is money. It’s not a disdain for staff or disdain for players, it’s money."

Touchdown, Kansas State
The #CUBuffs defense appears to have run out of gas as the Wildcats go 75 yards on 8 plays and punch it in the end zone on a 17-yard run by Joe Jackson. K-State leads 24-14 with 2:37 to play. That should do it.

#CUBuffs set to punt for the first time today. Damon Greaves hit as he kicks it and it somehow gets across midfield. No penalty as it's ruled a K-State player tipped it, but I couldn't tell live or on the replay that someone actually got a finger on it.

Looks like Kaidon Salter is having issues with the C2P technology in his helmet, so it's Ryan Staub in at QB to begin the latest #CUBuffs drive.
