Offset And Key Glock Share Friendly Game Of Ping Pong At Colorado Buffaloes Game

by

Colorado University is probably the biggest thing in sports right now. Ever since former legendary NFL cornerback Deion Sanders took the head coaching job, no one can stop talking about them. It is for good reason though, as the team has seen the most press and success they have seen in quite some time. Just last season the Buffaloes went. Now, they have already tripled their win total, as they currently sit at 3-0. Two of their three victories did not come easy after a shootout with TCU and a physical rivalry game this past Saturday with Colorado State. It went into double overtime with the Buffaloes escaping the Rams and some serious stars saw the action live including Offset.

The Migos member has recently been having a whirlwind of the past few weeks. He recently was at the VMAs supporting Cardi B. Additionally, he announced the release of his sophomore album, SET IT OFF, which is due October 13. Finally, he has been in a mixup with Nicki Minaj and her man, Kenneth Petty. It is safe to say the rapper could use some time to himself and that is what he did heading up to the Centennial State.

Offset made sure to make the most of this experience so he participated in a few different things. One of which was a civil ping pong match with Memphis rapper Key Glock. In the video above you can see the two chopping it up and having a good time. Then, the “FAN” rapper became a fan during the Buffaloes game. he stood up in front of thousands of rabid students, helping them get into it by ramping them up. Maybe this gave the team life after they struggled for most of the game.

Last week, when the Wu-Tang Clan showed up to support the Colorado Buffaloes, people online crowned Deion Sanders the coolest coach in collegiate sports. But that was only the beginning for Coach Prime. On Saturday, September 16, Sanders took it up a notch by inviting actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, footballer Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski, and rap superstar Lil Wayne to join the team as they took on rivals Colorado State.

Lil Wayne led the Buffs onto the field with a surprise performance of his song “Ride for My N****s (Sky is the Limit),” off his classic mixtape, Da Drought 3. In a video shared on the team’s official X (formally Twitter) feed, Wayne cheerfully jumps around the field as the crowd shares in the moment’s excitement.

Viewers at home chimed in, praising Coach Sander’s efforts to bring attention to his team through his industry connections. “Buffaloes bringing out everything,” wrote one user.

Another kept their elevated reply short, penning, “Absolutely insane!!!!”

Earlier in the day, Lil Wayne treated those attending the pre-show to a special performance in the stadium’s parking lot. As a thank you, Coach Sanders gifted Wayne with a custom Colorado Buffaloes jersey with his nickname Tunechi on the back. Lil Wayne sported the same jersey during the lead-out of the tunnel.

Lil Wayne was in Boulder for the Rocky Mountain Showdown this weekend. During the hours of buildup before the game between Colorado and Colorado, Wayne linked up with Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. During their meeting, Sanders gifted Wayne a custom Colorado jersey with a Tunechi nameplate. Elsewhere, Sanders also briefly ran into Offset, who was very excited to meet him.

Following Colorado’s win over Nebraska last week, Lil Wayne had dialed in to give a motivational speech to the Buffs’ roster. “I remember when I was younger. And I was a part of a group called the Hot Boys. That group consisted of Juvenile, B.G., Turk, and the likes of people like Birdman and Mannie Fresh. And I remember we were in the studio — every night. I would just be coming home from school, like 12 years old. So I would just get dropped off at the office and stuff. Everybody was talking about what they wanted to do, what was going on with their days. I couldn’t talk about my 12-year-old stuff. So, what I had to do was impress them. They were my idols. They were everything I thought I should be. So I had to impress them in the booth. It wasn’t about the conversations we were having. It was about the booth,” Wayne told the team.

Colorado State came very close to knocking off #18 Colorado in the first Rocky Mountain Showdown since 2019. The game was tied at 28 at the end of regulation and once again the teams traded touchdowns in the first OT period. However, the Rams were left in a hole after the Buffs went up eight on a two-point conversion. They drove down to Colorado’s four-yard line before an illegal block pushed them back to the Colorado 18. Two more passes fell incomplete as the Rams tried to tie up the game. However, on 4th & 0, safety Trevor Woods snagged the pass and sealed the game for the Buffs.

After the thrilling win, a wealth of celebrities showered praise on Deion and the Buffs. “SHEDEUR YOU’RE A PROBLEM!!!! ⭐🫡,” LeBron James exclaimed. Meanwhile, Tom Brady replied to a tweet about Sanders going “Brady Mode” with an iced-out emoji and a steam nostrils emoji. As for Robert Griffin III, the ESPN analyst had a bigger picture take about. “Colorado Fans storming the field after beating a team they were favored to beat, is the clearest example of the hope Coach Prime has brought to a fan base that hasn’t won or had this type of spotlight in a long time,” RG3 wrote. Check out some of the most notable reactions below.

Deion Sanders Gets Love From Offset And Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Ahead Of Colorado State Game

by

Just about every college sports show is in Boulder today for the Rocky Mountain Showdown between Colorado and Colorado State. Since the game doesn’t kick off till 8pm local time, that’s a lot of airtime to fill. So the various shows up in Boulder have been bringing out a lot of people to talk about how great Deion Sanders is. For College GameDay, who is in Boulder for the first time since the 90s, that pundit was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Already in Boulder for WWE SmackDown, The Rock was more than happy to join ESPN to discuss what Coach Prime has been doing at Folsom Field. “What Deion Sanders is doing right now — let’s talk about this just for a second, because we are witnessing something that is not only game-changing in the face of college football, but also, something that’s very special. And what that special thing is, is passion mixed with love mixed with disruption mixed with swagger mixed with confidence, but also, there’s an undercurrent here that Coach Prime is doing, is he’s changing the face of college football, and he’s doing it his way. But he’s also doing it in a way — and this is the hard part — that is galvanizing not only a town in Boulder, Colorado, but also galvanizing an entire country.”

Offset Vibes With Sanders

However, The Rock wasn’t the only person showing some love to Coach Prime. Offset was also in Boulder and managed to get some one-on-one time with Sanders amid the sea of fans following the coach around. The two spoke briefly before embracing. In the comments, people joked that Offset was in the one place where “Kenneth [Petty] can’t find him.”

The Rocky Mountain Showdown returns for the first time since 2019. Once an annual affair, the two sides have not played each other since the pandemic. Colorado has won the last five matchups against Colorado State. Despite this, Deion might want to watch out for a scary historical precedent. The last six times a team has entered the Rocky Mountain Showdown ranked in the AP Poll, they’ve lost. Colorado enters the matchup at #18 after their 2-0 start to the season.

Deion Sanders Responds To Colorado State Trash Talk

by

Deion Sanders has hit back after Colorado State head coach Jay Norvell took a few shots at the Colorado coach. “I’m minding my own business watching some film, trying to get ready, trying to get out here and be the best coach that I could be and I look up and I read some bull junk that they had said about us, once again,” Sanders told the team. “Why would you want to talk about us when we don’t talk about nobody? All we do is go out here, work our butts off and do our job on Saturday. But when they give us ammunition, they done messed around and made it [personal],” Sanders told his players in a newly-released video.

“It was just gonna be a good game and they done messed around and made it personal. It was gonna be a great task — a battle of Colorado, but they done messed around and made it [personal]. Now he’s messing with my mama,” Sanders continued. Colorado has beaten Colorado State in five consecutive matchups. However, the two sides have not contested the Rocky Mountain Showdown since 2019.

Sanders and Norvell Ready For Showdown

With ESPN College GameDay in Boulder for the game, Norvell has had plenty of time in front of the camera. “It was great. I loved it,” Norvell said of the added attention. “But our kids came out of those [interviews] really with a chip on their shoulder. They’re tired of all that stuff. They really are tired of it. They’re [Colorado] not gonna like us no matter what we say or do. It doesn’t matter. So, let’s go up there and play. That’s just how I feel about it.” However, Norvell also acknowledged that Colorado has “a great football team”.

Colorado State are 0-1, having dropped their opening game to Washington State 50-24. Meanwhile, the school has dropped their last five games against Colorado and their last 23 games against ranked squads. However, the last six Rocky Mountain Showdowns to feature a ranked team have been won by the unranked side. Despite this, Colorado enter as 23-point favorites. “Deion Sanders has had a lot of public critics. I’m not one of them,” Norvell told reporters. “I really respect all head coaches and the sacrifices they’ve had to make to become head coaches, and I appreciate the path they have to go through to get there — especially African American coaches. I was happy to see Deion get his opportunity, I had to wait a long time to get mine.”

Colorado State Head Coach Takes Shots At Deion Sanders

by

The war of words in the Rocky Mountain Showdown has finally began, with Colorado State Head Coach Jay Norvell taking the first shots. “I don’t care if they hear this in Boulder, I told them [ESPN] — I took my hat off, and I took my glasses off. I said, ‘When I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat and my glasses off. That’s what my mother taught me.” Norvell’s comments came on his weekly radio show as he prepares for the first in-state rivalry match since 2019. It’s Norvell’s first Rocky Mountain Showdown, having joined Colorado State after four years with Nevada.

Norvell oversees one of the most interesting squads in the country. A recent profile in The Athletic noted the Rams squad as having “An Arnold Amateur Strongman champion, a sumo wrestler, two tribesmen, an openly gay defensive lineman, a 30-something father of three and so much more.” Furthermore, Norvell made a comment that could be taken as a shot at Sanders’ marquee recruit signing approach. “We have the whole world to find guys that fit what we’re looking for.”

Deion Sanders Claims Colorado Home Opener Made $18M For The City Of Boulder

by

There is no doubt that Deion Sanders has reshaped college football. Ever since he joined the Colorado Buffaloes in December 2022, it’s been the Prime Way or No Way. This has taken a 1-11 program in 2022 to the college football stratosphere. But can you put a numerical value on Sanders’ impact? Apparently, you can. In the most recent episode of the Colorado BTS vlog, Sanders and his coaching staff are seen discussing the impact that the football program is having. At one point, Sanders says that “they say the city made $18 million from us.” With the Broncos also hosting their home opener this past weekend, the city estimates a total revenue of $40 million.

That figure comes from the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, which estimates a $17 million revenue impact and projects similar figures for every sold-out home game. That might climb even higher this coming weekend. Not only is Colorado hosting their in-state rivals Colorado State, but ESPN will also be on the ground in Boulder. College Gameday is headed to Colorado for the first time since 1996, which is sure to bring out an even bigger influx of guests. It’s the first time the two rivals have faced off since 2019.

However, the financial impact is not the only thing that has been affected by the arrival of Sanders. Per Coach Prime himself, Colorado now has an “absurd” number of recruits interested in joining the program. “We’re receiving so many calls at this point right now it is absurd, just inquiring about what we do and how we do what we do and desiring to come on an unofficial or official visit,” Sanders said.

Furthermore, Colorado’s athletics account on Instagram has seen a 59% increase in followers since September 1st. Meanwhile, the school’s Facebook accounts have seen 29.3 million impressions in the same time span. As well as College GameDay, Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff will also be in Boulder for the Rocky Mountain Showdown.

Additionally, he just dropped an eight-track EP that fans have been enjoying. Needless to say, things have been going very well for him as of late.

As you can see in the Instagram posts above, Cam’ron got to link up with some famous NFL legends. Firstly, he got to see Shannon Sharpe, who was there with Stephen A. Smith. Moreover, he met up with Michael Irvin on the sidelines. Irvin is a good friend of Sanders and he was one of the many guests on the sidelines. It was yet another example of how these Buffaloes games are getting a ton of press and are also a hotbed for celebrities. That will continue to be true as they gear up to play Oregon and USC.

This upcoming weekend, Sanders and his squad will be taking on Colorado State, where they are favored to win yet again. Colorado State lost their first game of the season to Washington State by a score of 50-24, and it is looking like a blowout could be on the way.

Lil Wayne Hypes Deion Sanders’ Colorado After Nebraska Win

by

Lil Wayne is the latest public figure to give his flowers to Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes. The Young Money CEO spoke to the team via Zoom after their win over Nebraska on September 9. “I remember when I was younger. And I was a part of a group called the Hot Boys. That group consisted of Juvenile, B.G., Turk, and the likes of people like Birdman and Mannie Fresh. And I remember we were in the studio — every night. I would just be coming home from school, like 12 years old. So I would just get dropped off at the office and stuff.”

He continued. “Everybody was talking about what they wanted to do, what was going on with their days. I couldn’t talk about my 12-year-old stuff. So, what I had to do was impress them.

ESPN Headed To Colorado

As well as a chat with Lil Wayne, the Buffs have gotten another honor following their win over the Huskers. For the first time since 1996, ESPN College GameDay is headed to Colorado. The Week 3 location was announced a little over an hour after #22 Colorado took down Nebraska 36-14. “Colorado get ready, WE’RE COMIN’! For the first time since 1996, we’re headed to Boulder as Coach Prime and 2-0 @CUBuffsFootball host the Rocky Mountain Showdown with rival Colorado State!” the show wrote on X, formerly Twitter. The last time College GameDay was in Boulder, the #5 Buffaloes were hosting the #11 Michigan Wolverines. The Wolverines came out on top 20-13.

Colorado will enter the matchup ranked #18 in the nation following the 36-14 win over Nebraska, per the latest AP Poll. That’s Colorado’s highest ranking since Week 11 of the 2016 season when they were ranked at #16. However, the Rocky Mountain Showdown returns for the first time since 2019. Once an annual affair, the two sides have not played each other since the pandemic. Colorado has won the last five matchups against Colorado State. Despite this, Deion might want to watch out for a scary historical precedent. The last six times a team has entered the Rocky Mountain Showdown ranked in the AP Poll, they’ve lost. Deion better watch out for the upset.

Deion Sanders And Colorado To Host “ESPN College GameDay”

For the first time since 1996, ESPN College GameDay is headed to Colorado. The Week 3 location was announced a little over an hour after #22 Colorado took down Nebraska 36-14. “Colorado get ready, WE’RE COMIN’! For the first time since 1996, we’re headed to Boulder as Coach Prime and 2-0 @CUBuffsFootball host the Rocky Mountain Showdown with rival Colorado State!” the show wrote on X, formerly Twitter. The last time College GameDay was in Boulder, the #5 Buffaloes were hosting the #11 Michigan Wolverines. The Wolverines came out on top 20-13.

However, the announcement was slightly spoiled by GameDay veteran Lee Corso. During the Week 2 show from the Alabama-Texas game, Corso appeared to imply that GameDay would head to Boulder if Colorado beat Nebraska. If the Buffs hadn’t won, GameDay would have most likely headed to Gainesville for the Florida-Tennessee game. “Colorado wins…we go to Colorado next week,” Corso said. “We’ll be there. So it’ll be good. Colorado’s going to win this game,” host Kirk Herbstreit later confirmed.

Deion, Colorado Roll On

While the Huskers were able to keep the Buffs off the board in the first quarter, the Colorado offense put up 13 points in the second as they quickly began to run away with the game. With the 36-14 win, the Buffs are now 2-0 to start a season for the first time since 2020. Shedeur Sanders had another great game, throwing for 393 yards and two touchdowns, while adding a third touchdown on the ground. However, that was the only good news on the ground, as Sanders also recorded -16 yards on 11 rushing attempts. It’s quickly becoming apparent that dual-threat QBs are just something Coach Prime doesn’t have at his disposal. Elsewhere, two-way star Travis Hunter had 73 receiving yards as well as four tackles.

However, the Rocky Mountain Showdown returns for the first time since 2019. Once an annual affair, the two sides have not played each other since the pandemic. Colorado has won the last five matchups against Colorado State. Despite this, Deion might want to watch out for a scary historical precedent. The last six times a team has entered the Rocky Mountain Showdown ranked in the AP Poll, they’ve lost. It’s unknown how high the Buffs will rise in this week’s AP Poll. However, they better watch out for the upset.
