April 19, 2025 will be forever remembered by Colorado students, fans, and haters alike! On this day, the university took the bold step of retiring Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders’ jerseys. Since the retirement was announced a couple of weeks ago, social media and sports talk platforms have been on 🔥.
Travis Hunter? No one’s arguing that one. That man is different. Played like a human cheat code—offense, defense, didn’t matter. He won the Heisman, snatched awards like he was collecting Infinity Stones, and made SportsCenter Top 10 look like his personal highlight reel. Retiring his jersey? That’s a no-brainer. Folks are like, “Give him a statue while you’re at it.” (Not Really)
Now Shedeur Sanders… that’s where things get a little spicy. He put up solid numbers—over 7,000 passing yards, 64 TDs, and a completion percentage so high it looked like he was playing Madden on rookie. But here’s the thing—the team went 13–11. No Pac-12 titles, no bowl wins, nothing major in the trophy case. So a lot of fans are like, “Hold up… they retiring jerseys for two solid seasons now?”
It doesn’t help that he’s Coach Prime’s son! People are out here screaming “nepotism” like it’s a new chant. Deion clapped back, of course, basically saying, “Y’all hating ‘cause it’s us.”
Also, this is the first time in CU history they’ve retired numbers while the players are still playing. That’s bold!
What do you think? Should they have waited until these fellas were retired from the NFL?

Travis hunter is a generational talent. No one has dominated both sides of the ball in college football in ages if ever the way he has. That said. Maybe wait until his career is over to retire his jersey!
