Deion Sanders, aka Coach Prime, has been making waves ever since he arrived at Folsom Field to lead the hapless Colorado Buffaloes NCAA football program. Despite the team not playing a competitive snap yet, everyone wants in on Prime’s vision. Furthermore, the Buffaloes’ Spring Game sold out for the first time in history, and attendance outnumbered the last nine games combined. It’s a new era in Colorado.
However, not everyone has been a fan. Sanders raised eyebrows with his liberal use of the transfer portal. According to OurLads, nine of Colorado’s 11 projected starters on defense are transfers. Meanwhile, 46 of Colorado’s 83 scholarship players have left the program. Sanders has completely rebuilt the program but their success in a loaded Pac-12 remains to be seen. Colorado’s last winning season was in 2016, when they went 10-4. They have won a combined nine games across the last three seasons.
Coach Prime’s Newest Transfer
However, Coach Prime has proudly unveiled his latest addition to the Buffaloes – a customized F-650. The base model of the heavy-duty truck retails for $150,000. Sanders’ version includes multiple customizations, including a large “PRIME” logo on the front grille. Showing off the truck, Sanders joked “You gotta jump like Ja Morant to get in my car.” Safe to say that Sanders was very excited, “My baby’s here,” Sanders said. “They just told me my baby’s here. They just told me my baby’s here. My baby’s here. My baby’s here. My baby’s here. They just told me my baby’s here. Lord I thank you!” Six years ago, Shaq bought a similarly kitted out F-650 for $125,000.
Colorado’s season begins on September 2 by traveling to National Champion runners-up TCU. They will also face Nebraska and Colorado State in the non-conference slate before beginning Pac-12 play at Oregon. Pre-season media voting has not yet occurred but it’s safe to assume that Colorado will be near the top of the projected standings. How do you think Colorado will do this season?
