The “Coach Prime” era has yet to begin for Colorado on the football field, but that didn’t stop CU fans from getting a head start on welcoming Deion Sanders to campus Thursday night.
Sanders, nearly a week removed from agreeing to become Colorado’s football coach, was on-hand for his first game at his new school as the Buffaloes men’s basketball team hosted in-state rival Colorado State. During a timeout, Sanders was shown on the screen inside the CU Events Center taking in the contest from the stands, prompting Buffaloes fans to go crazy for their newest coach.
