Coach Prime Colorado Football Team Cracks AP Top 25

Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders is getting love from his peers with another big matchup on the way. Ahead of the Alabama Crimson Tide’s next matchup against No. 13 Ole Miss, coach Nick Saban showed love to Coach Prime.

Speaking with ESPN, Saban revealed that he was able to catch the matchup with Colorado State, saluting the work that he has done.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Deion Sanders,” Saban said. “First, he’s a great person and he’s done a great job of marketing the program to create a lot of national interest.

“But I see their team playing well on the field. They play with discipline, they do a good job of executing, they’ve been able to score points, playing decent on defense. So all those things, to me, are indicators that he’s a really good coach.”

Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes are still the hottest names in college football. Colorado hosted Colorado State and pulled off the come-from-behind overtime victory. Now the Buffs are headed into Eugene, Oregon, for a matchup with No. 10 ranked Oregon Ducks led by Bo Nix.

TickPick, the popular ticket marketplace, has reported a remarkable surge in demand for this week’s Oregon-Colorado college football showdown. The Buffaloes’ recent victories over Nebraska and Colorado State have ignited excitement among fans.

Before the season commenced, the average purchase price for this game stood at $93. However, the period from September 11th (following Colorado’s win over Nebraska) to September 18th has witnessed an astonishing 131% increase, with the average purchase price now at $215.

What’s more, the current average purchase price for the Oregon-Colorado game is a staggering 115% higher than Oregon’s home game average ($100). This contest has become the most expensive Oregon ticket of the season, with a “get-in” price of $216, surpassing the matchup against USC ($183). Notable purchases include four tickets in Section 9, Row 37, selling for $398 each, totaling $1,592.

Remarkably, the game is pricier than 14 out of 16 NFL games scheduled for Week Three, with only the Bears-Chiefs and Raiders-Steelers matchups costing more.

Additionally, fans travel from afar to witness the Buffaloes in action, with 10% of all purchases coming from Colorado. The full breakdown of zip code data reveals strong support from Oregon, California, Washington, and more.

For those seeking premium seating, Section 12, Row 7 offers tickets at $718 each.

Today In Hip Hop History: Marley Marl Dropped The Juice Crew Debut Album ‘In Control Vol. 1’ 35 Years Ago

The title of “super producer” is not one to be taken lightly. For every era of Hip-Hop, there is a man behind the keys set the tone. Dr. Dre, Pete Rock, RZA, Swizz Beatz, Jermaine Dupri, Timbaland, The Neptunes, Mike Will Made-It, and Metro Boomin are among the few who have dictated what Hip Hop has sounded like over the years. Super producers have even spanned genres to influenced music as a whole, bringing the Hip Hop style to the masses.

On this day in Hip Hop history the culture’s first super producer, Marley Marl, released his debut compilation, In Control, Vol. 1, and forever changed the sound of Hip Hop. Before this album, Marley Marl’s true importance to Hip Hop had yet to be openly stated. It was known that he had a hand in some of the biggest records to have out at the time but this album put them all in the same place, proving what Marley Marl was doing to help Hip Hop evolve.

Before Marley Marl, Hip Hop production was quite primitive: the drums were sounded synthetic, the loops were monotonous, and as a whole production was more of a skeleton waiting to be filled by an MC. Marley Marl gave the instrumental life. His signature drum loops and soulful samples brought a new tone to Hip Hop. A Marley Mal beat served less as a compliment to the artist’s ability and more as fuel to jumpstart the intensity of the rapper, bringing out the best in him or her.

Commercially, this album was the success it was bound to be. Featuring Juice Crew members Biz Markie, Craig G., Roxanne Shante, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Heavy D, and more from Marley Marl’s private army. Pushed by the infamous Cold Chillin’ Records, the album peaked at #163 on the Billboard 200 and brought great publicity to Cold Chillin’ as a top label in Hip Hop. Following this album, the label rose to become a household name in Hip-Hop and Marl Marley grew to become an immortal icon of Hip Hop culture.

Jeezy and Jeannie Mai Divorce Reportedly Caused by ‘certain family values and differences’

by
Jeanniemai and Jezzy

Jeezy and Jeannie Mai’s seemingly sudden divorce now has additional detail. The split between the two celebrities is reportedly due to “certain family values and differences.”

According to Entertainment Tonight, an insider stated, “They had different views, and each felt like their needs weren’t being completely met.” Jeezy filed for divorce last week, citing their marriage is “irretrievably broken” in the court documents.

The filing was placed in the Fulton County Superior Court, and the two have already separated. There is a prenuptial agreement in place.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jeezy is seeking joint custody of their daughter.

If completed, the divorce would end a marriage that began in March 2021. The ceremony was at their home during the pandemic.

Recently, Mai celebrated Jeezy’s new book, Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe. “Your story has always been an inspiration to me, but seeing it in print has left me even more in awe of your strength and wisdom,” she wrote on Instagram. “You invited us into the most intimate corners of your life, where pain and triumph coexist.”

In January 2022, Jeannie and Jeezy welcomed their child. “I asked God for a life of love and happiness. He sent me my family… Baby Jenkins is Here 🍼 ❤. ” Which included a shot of the newborn blankets sitting in the hospital baby bassinet with a sign that covered the usual name of baby, weight, length, and time of birth that simply said, Jenkins.   

Best known for co-presenting the daytime talk show, Jeannie Mai began trying to start a family with Jeezy before their March 2021 wedding. After suffering a pregnancy loss, she considered in vitro fertilization but ended up conceiving naturally.  

“It was the most beautiful sign that anything’s possible, that you’re not in control and God has a plan,” she told Women’s Health in September 2021 while announcing her pregnancy news.

“Being a mom is hands down the hardest role in the entire world. Now that we’re bringing another Jenkins into the picture, I have no idea what to expect.”

Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden Says Kanye West is Not a Bad Person

'Drink Champs' Episode Featuring Kanye West Pulled From YouTube as N.O.R.E. Offers Apologies

Ye is receiving words of support from Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden. In an interview, Gulden stated he doesn’t believe Kanye West is a bad person.

“And then as creative people he did some statements which wasn’t that good,” Gulden said. “And that caused Adi to break the contract and withdraw the product. Very unfortunate because I don’t think he meant what he said and I don’t think he’s a bad person it just came across that way.

“That meant we lost that business. One of the most successful collabs in history — very said. But again, when you work with third parties that can happen. It’s part of the game.”

Adidas reports a revenue of $437 million in the first release of leftover Yeezy sneakers from their nixed deal with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. The first run of shoes hit online in June, selling out. The second run began to sell on Wednesday.

The sale of the sneakers was the efforts to empty their inventory responsibly. After the first launch, CEO Bjørn Gulden said, “We will continue to carefully sell off more of the existing Yeezy inventory,”

Adidas has also announced the donation of over 10 million euros to groups like the Anti-Defamation League, the Philonise & Keeta Floyd Institute for Social Change, and Robert Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism.

According to Billboard, 20% to 25% of the stock was unloaded in the first sale.

Now Mo’Nique is breaking down the numbers. In a message shared on social media, Mo’nique and her husband allege that “The Parkers” cost $70 million to produce and made $700 million over the years, but she is being told the series is more than $1 billion in debt.“Don’t pay us any more, but don’t pay us any less.”
