Coach Prime Deion Sanders’ Magic Doing Wonders for the Buffs, Big Celebs on Their Way to Boulder

Coach Prime is quite literally a celebrity magnet. After taking charge as Head Coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, he managed to get an assorted trio of Hall of Famers to come speak to his team last month. The trio included Terrell Owens, one of the greatest WR of all time who played 15 NFL seasons, 12-season WR for the Dallas Cowboys, Michael Irvin, and 13-season Defensive Tackle Warren Sapp. Now, something even bigger is cooking in Colorado.

Ahead of the match against arch-rivals Colorado State Rams, Coach Prime is using his magical charm to attract stars from the sports and entertainment fields to Boulder. 

Who’s going to be in Boulder ahead of Week 3?

Big names feature on the list in the official release by the Colorado Buffaloes. However, the name that shines on the list of celebrities is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He is going to speak with Pat McAfee at ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show which will also go live from Boulder. ESPN’s First Take and College GameDay and Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff are other shows that will broadcast from Colorado. 

Lil Wayne will be on Big Noon Kickoff, joined by former Patriots and Buccaneers TE, Rob Gronkowski. “Gronk” holds the NFL record for most touchdowns in a season by a TE at 18. Other celebrities that will be in attendance include Stephen A. Smith, who will also host 3x SB Champion Shannon Sharpe, on First Take. The former Broncos star was also the first NFL TE to run over 10,000 receiving yards.

Lee Corso, a staple of College GameDay since 1987, will also go on air from the Rockies. While Big Noon Kickoff will host former coach Urban Meyer, QB Robert Griffin III, RB and sports anchor Mark Ingram, former QB Matt Leinart, and 11-season WR Desmond Howard. Will this star-studded lineup and showbiz take the Buffaloes’ players’ eyes off the ball?

Colorado Buffaloes “primed” for action on Saturday

Allaying fears, Mark Ingram told The Post recently, “They’re very focused. And I think that they’re just going to be motivated and I think they got the right coaching staff to keep them motivated and inspired.”

Being coached by a legend like Deion Sanders is bound to boost the morale of the Buffaloes. This move comes when everyone has dismissed the team as being capable of anything great. Off the field, Coach Prime has been nothing short of a PR miracle. From little to no media coverage for CU, the team has become somewhat of a college football sensation. Now, celebrities are flocking to associate themselves with it.

Colorado Buffaloes will kick off Saturday evening against their rivals, the Colorado State Rams. Will the celebrity glitz and Prime Time’s charisma and mentorship turn around their fortunes?
