Coach Prime 1, Nebraska 0: CU fans will outnumber Big Red faithful at Buffs-Huskers, ticket site predicts

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:40:41 GMT

BOULDER — Coach Prime might have already beaten Nebraska before his CU Buffs take a snap.VividSeats.com told The Post this week that based on seats sold and market trends, the popular ticketing site is projecting via its “Fan Forecast” algorithm that 60% of the crowd at Folsom Field for Deion Sanders’ home debut will be wearing CU gold on Saturday.That would flip the crowd makeup at Folsom for this tilt from four years earlier, when Cornhuskers fans in September 2019 accounted for an estimated 60-65% of the sellout crowd.That ratio disappointed Buffs athletic department officials both privately and publicly, despite it being the most profitable football weekend in modern CU history up to that date.Athletic director Rick George has been pleading in the months leading up to Saturday’s game for Buffs fans to “keep the red out” for Sanders’ debut, and to some degree, VividSeats says, he might just get his wish.Especially with CU’s st...

Why fast start is critical for Broncos in Week 1 vs. Raiders: “We’ve got to create a new history”

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:40:41 GMT

If you entered the Broncos locker room looking for offensive players who remember the last time the franchise beat the division-rival Raiders, you’d find scant options.In fact, the list includes only left tackle Garett Bolles and wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Of the 53 on Denver’s roster, seven were around for Denver’s last win against the silver and black.Bolles started that game at left tackle on Dec. 29, 2019. Sutton caught four passes for 52 yards. The Broncos eked out a 16-15 win against the team playing its final game as an Oakland-based franchise.Since then? Denver fans know the drill all too well. Six straight losses. A streak that pales in length to a 15-game free-fall against Kansas City but punches above its weight class on the frustration scale.An interesting thing about that 2019 season: It was Vic Fangio’s first as Denver’s head coach and it started with a loss to the Raiders. The Broncos spiraled to 0-4, actually, before playing to a 7-5 mark the rest of the way.Now...
