Sanders is the best QB statistically (5th in yards, 1st in TD’s, passer rating and completion percentage) in CU history so I guess it sorta makes sense.
I’m sure his dad had a hand in it too.

Please tell me how many schools have the jersey of "the best QB in school history" retired that didn't either lead them to a championship or win the Heisman. It's 100% being retired because of Deion...and that's pathetic.

I mean both these players resurrected a pretty dead Colorado program and were the face of the new Deion era swagger and push for excellence. I think not only statistically but symbolically these two players were historic for the program. I mean Colorado is a fairly big brand nowadays with a significant chunk of out of state fans. Hunter AND Sanders greatly contributed to that success. So yeah, I don’t see a problem with retiring their numbers. Maybe a QB comes along soon that’s better than sanders, but it will be because Sanders helped pave the way and taking Colorado back to relevancy.

LMAO -
This used to mean something. Now it's just like NIL. It just shows how weak the culture is there and how DEI drives shite.
Think about amazing athletes at your University that still haven't received that honor to this day. Then you'll see my point.

Meanwhile, guys like Kordell Stewart, Alfred Williams, and plenty of other All Americans who actually won shite of note during the Macarthy era don’t have anything for them.
It’s a slap in the face to the rest of the program and stars who played during their Golden Age

Kentucky (3 QB numbers retired), Pitt, Louisville, Texas. Just a few I saw in 2 minutes of searching.

Well, seeing how a majority of college programs have neither a Heisman nor a National Championship, I would say plenty.
Prime Example: Ben Roethlisberger
*They won the MAC championship in 2003*
Others:
Michael Vick - Virginia Tech
Trent Dilfer - Fresno State
Colt Brennan - Hawaii
Case Keenum - Houston
Eli Manning - Ole Miss
Archie Manning - Ole Miss
Brett Favre - Southern Miss

Jeanty should’ve won the Heisman

I think Hunter and Sanders finished with a 10-10 record overall in their two years there.

No type of title only an Auburn would agree to this.

Retiring jersey numbers is fricking stupid. Always has been.
