JUST IN: Deion Sanders drops details for ‘Prime Weekend’ to takeover CU’s Spring Game this year

Coach Prime appears enthusiastic about the upcoming events in Boulder. Although the Colorado Buffaloes’ Black and Gold Spring Game is still two months away, Deion Sanders is already gearing up for an extravagant weekend set for April 27th. In an interview with Lil Wayne on ‘Young Money Radio,’ the Buffaloes coach revealed plans for a departure from the traditional scrimmage format, opting instead for a Super Bowl-like weekend with various festivities leading up to the game.

Sanders outlined the itinerary for what he dubbed as “Prime Weekend” for the spring game, which includes a fashion show on Thursday, an event for boosters on Friday, and the game itself on Saturday. Additionally, there will be an after-party featuring DJs catering to different cultural backgrounds, followed by post-game activities involving alumni. Sanders hinted at the inclusion of musical guests during halftime or at the end of the game, with plans to potentially incorporate the performance into the nationally televised broadcast, indicating a repeat of last year’s broadcast success.

Reflecting on Sanders’ inaugural Spring Game at Colorado, it proved to be a remarkable debut in the realm of Power Five football, drawing an over-capacity crowd despite adverse weather conditions and garnering significant television viewership. Despite the Buffaloes’ 4-8 record in Sanders’ first year, their performance was widely recognized as a significant advancement for a program previously considered defunct within a conference facing dissolution.

As Sanders enters his second year at Colorado, expectations are high for further elevating the program. It seems that what he has planned for this year is just a glimpse of his broader vision, indicating a potential to make even greater waves in the college football landscape. Coach Prime’s unique approach and readiness to defy expectations suggest that he is poised to surprise the world once again.
