The Buffs went from pretender to contender with a few wins to silence the naysayers

The concept of it's "perfect" or "trash" has become increasingly prevalent in our culture, particularly in how we consume entertainment. This binary view has seeped into movies, television, music, and sports, pushing audiences to view outcomes as either monumental successes or complete failures, with little room for nuance. In sports, especially, has become susceptible to this mentality, where fans and analysts often label teams as either champions or unworthy contenders.

The conversations have become increasingly polarized due to the misuse of the term "hater." Take, for instance, a hypothetical debate between Colorado and Miami fans over the Heisman Trophy. A Miami fan might advocate for Cam Ward, while a Colorado fan might support Travis Hunter. In this scenario, it's easy for either fan to accuse the other of being a "hater," despite both players having legitimate claims to the award.

Colorado and Coach Prime have become lightning rods for attention in the sports world, largely due to the unique style and approach. Sanders has brought a level of attention to Colorado that few could have anticipated, and with that attention comes scrutiny. During the team's first season under Sanders, fans and analysts alike questioned whether Colorado could compete at a high level.

It’s time for Colorado to move beyond the "hater" narrative and embrace their position as a respected competitor in college football. The voices of opposition have largely faded, replaced by admiration for the team’s accomplishments. When Colorado defeated Texas Tech in a decisive victory, they proved that they belong among the top contenders. They no longer need to concern themselves with detractors because their performance speaks for itself.
