You see, this here Colorado jersey, it got some letters on it, ain’t just numbers, you know. Some got an “L”, some got a “D”. People been scratching their heads, wondering what in the tarnation it all means. Well, I heard tell about it, so I’m gonna let you in on the secret. It ain’t rocket science, that’s for sure. That Sanders boy, the coach, he’s a character, I tell ya. He come up with this whole thing, seems like.
They say that “L” stands for “Leader.” Like, the big shots on the team, you know? The ones who holler the loudest and tell everyone what to do. That Sanders boy’s son, Shedeur, the one throwing the ball all over the place, he’s got an “L” on his Colorado jersey. Makes sense, don’t it? He’s the quarterback, after all. Gotta be a leader to do that job. Imagine that boy, throwing for more than 500 yards. My old bones ache just thinking about it!
Now, that “D”, that’s a different story. They call it “Dawg.” Don’t ask me why, just what they call it. I reckon it means they’re tough, those “Dawg” boys. Like a junkyard dog, maybe. Ready to scrap and fight for every inch. That’s what you want in your football players, ain’t it? Gotta be tough to play that game. Lots of bumping and shoving. I seen them play against that TCU, them horned frogs, they won! It was a sight, I tell ya, 45 to 42, they won.
So, you got your “Leaders” and your “Dawgs.” That Sanders, he likes to do things different. Spice things up a bit. Keeps everyone on their toes, I reckon. It’s a whole lot different than when I was a girl, I can tell you that much. We didn’t have no fancy letters on our clothes. Just plain old hand-me-downs, mostly.
That Coach, that Sanders, he wear a “JC” on his sleeve. Now what you think that means? I heard it’s for some fella name Jimmie Callaway, who used to be around the team when Sanders was young. They was close, it seems. Some folks just touch your heart, you know? That’s a nice thing, to remember someone like that.
This whole thing, these letters on the Colorado jersey, it’s got folks talking, that’s for sure. Everyone’s got an opinion. Some like it, some don’t. But it gets people watching, don’t it? And that’s what it’s all about, ain’t it? Getting folks excited about the game. And let me tell ya, these Colorado boys, they’re worth watching this year. They got some fire in ’em. Especially that Shedeur. Over 500 yards in one game! I never seen nothing like it.
- “L” means Leader, that’s what they say.
- “D” means “Dawg”, tough as nails, those boys.
- Coach got a “JC” for some old friend.
- Colorado jersey got everyone talking, that’s for sure.
- They play good, them Buffaloes. They sure do.
I remember back in my day, we didn’t have none of this fancy stuff. We just played for the love of the game. But things change, I reckon. Gotta keep up with the times. And these young folks today, they got their own way of doing things. And who am I to say it’s wrong? As long as they’re having fun and playing hard, that’s all that matters.
But these Colorado jersey letters, they sure are something, ain’t they? Got everyone buzzing like a beehive. I reckon that Sanders fella, he knows what he’s doing. He’s got a plan, that’s for sure. And it seems to be working, don’t it? They’re winning games, and that’s what counts. They beat them TCU Horned Frogs, remember?
This new thing, puttin’ letters on the jerseys, it’s sure got folks talking. Back in my day, we didn’t need no letters to tell us who was who. We just knew. But like I said, times change. And maybe it’s a good thing. Gets people interested, you know? Makes the game more exciting.
I tell ya what, though, those Colorado boys, they’re fun to watch. They got some real grit. And that Shedeur, that quarterback, he’s something else. He can really sling that ball. Reminds me of a young fella I used to know, back in the day. He could throw a ball a country mile. But that’s a story for another time.
So, there you have it. The story behind them letters on the Colorado jersey. “L” for “Leader,” “D” for “Dawg.” It ain’t complicated, really. Just a way to show who’s who on the team. And it seems to be working, don’t it? They’re winning games and having fun. And that’s all that matters in the end, ain’t it? Yep, that’s all that matters. Them boys are alright. They gonna do just fine.
