Agreed, what do you think about hunter and sanders? I think sanders getting his retired is an absolute joke because he didn’t implement anything huge on the program. But I think it’s somewhat valid to retire hunters for winning a heisman playing both sides, whether you believe he deserved it or not.

Sanders is probably the dumbest jersey retirement I’ve seen in nearly 20 years of watching sports Hunter is a weird case. On one hand he’s the schools biggest recruit, led them to highs Colorado hadn’t seen since the 90s, and won the Heisman (Jeanty should’ve won tho imo) as a 2 way player. Buuuuuut for some reason it just… doesn’t feel like enough. He just wasn’t the legendary figure that other players are to other programs

If anything if I was CU I’d retire his jersey at least a decade or two after his tenure there. Depends on his pro career because him getting drafted that high factors into how CU got viewed afterwards

I agree jeanty deserved it but I do think Hunter deserves his jersey retired, colorado will never have a 2 way guy like him again or probably another heisman again like him in our lifetime.

Agreed. I just don’t like the immediateness of it. I get it CU isn’t a team like Bama, OSU, Clemson, or Oregon so they rarely get players of that caliber but it’s just tacky. At least give Hunter a few years in the league before you retire it

I feel you but also if hunter were to turn out a huge bust it would look bad on colorado’s part retiring his jersey, like imagine jamarcus russell got his jersey retired from LSU after he retired from the NFL😂

Maybe but if BSU is to retire any number it’d be Kellen Moore
