There are numbers that define the Prime Effect upon the University of Colorado in Boulder, a place that hasn’t always had a chummy relationship with football. First-year applications are up 26.4% year over year; Black or African American applications are up 80.6%; nonresident applications are up 29.8%; and international applications are up 38.4% from 97 countries, including 16 that didn’t have any applications last year. While those numbers cannot be definitively linked to Sanders, others can be: September sales at the school’s online team store were up 2,544% over the same month in 2022. Every home game in 50,183-seat Folsom...

If you went to bed at halftime of the Stanford-Colorado game Friday night, you're forgiven...The Colorado Buffaloes were hosing the visiting Stanford Cardinal, 29-0...There was little reason to expect that Stanford, losers of four straight, could flip the script in the second half...Final score: Stanford 46, Colorado 43 (2 OT)...It was the largest comeback in Stanford history and the largest blown lead in Colorado history.

35-0. I'm switching to the Alabama-Miss. game.

Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders is one of the hottest coaches in football at the moment. The Buffaloes are currently 3-0 and ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press poll with a huge game at Oregon coming this weekend. But it wasn’t always clear that Sanders was headed for success in Boulder. He took plenty of criticism from posting his first meeting with his team. In no uncertain terms, he told the team that he was bringing his “Louis Vitton luggage” with him from Jackson and any player that didn’t like it should hit the portal. Over 40 players took...

The entire football world watched Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes upset the Horned Frogs of TCU last Saturday afternoon. Even the GOAT, Tom Brady, tuned in. Brady was so impressed with the Buffaloes' victory that he personally reached out to Shedeur, Deion's son and Colorado's starting quarterback. His message was a simple one: "Don't be satisfied" with just one win. Strive for more. "Don't be satisfied," Brady said in a text to Shedeur.

Video surfaced after the 60 Minutes appearance........... Deion tells his students like it is.....................

Pro Football Hall of Famer and Jackson State football coach Deion Sanders suffered the amputation of two toes on his left foot and narrowly escaped a lower leg amputation after contracting severe blood clots in his leg. The 54-year-old coach had entered a Mississippi hospital with three “life-threatening” femoral arterial blood clots, and at one point, he feared that he would lose his lower leg to the condition. Sanders told fans of his medical issues in which he said he is “thankful for GOD” for getting him through the frightening times. “I endured a lot while I was in the...

Former NFL and MLB star Deion Sanders said on NFL Network that white Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is the victim of “reverse racism,” thus vastly overlooked as one of the better players in the league as a result... “I’m not lying. This is real talk. Julian Edelman, just because he is a caucasian receiver, they don’t give him the credit that he deserves. He deserves so much more. This kid can flat out play. [There] hasn’t been an answer for him over the last several years. Julian Edelman moves chains, he can get deep, he works between the numbers,...

So when Deion Jr. tweeted this: Gotta get the hood doughnuts almost every morning. If my doughnuts don't come in a plain white box, I don't want them! — Deion Sanders Jr (@DeionSandersJr) April 2, 2015 Deion clapped back: @DeionSandersJr you're a Huxtable with a million $ trust fund stop the hood stuff! Lololol. Son. #Truth — Deion Sanders (@DeionSanders) April 2, 2015

The national backlash Deion received for his perceived defense of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick and dismissal of dogfighting started on Thursday after ESPN Radio dissected his column. It just happened to be the same day Vick was in a Richmond, Va., court pleading not guilty to federal dogfighting charges. Understandably, the NFL did not like that one of the faces of its network was being portrayed as a Vick apologist. Deion sent a column responding to the criticism to The News-Press and the NFL Network on Friday morning.
