    This weekend, Colorado players will debut their new custom Michael Strahan brand suits. Head coach Deion Sanders hand-picked every detail of the suits and there was an on-campus fitting for players in July. #cubuffs

    Colorado AD Rick George was asked how CU came up with the money to hire Deion Sanders. He said, "We don't have the money yet, but I know we'll have it, so I'm not worried about that piece." #cubuffs

    Colorado is the first FBS program to hire four different Black head coaches, and the first to hire three consecutive Black head coaches. #cubuffs

    Anonymous coach about Colorado to The Athletic recently: “There’s no way in hell you’re gonna get a whole new line for Shedeur.” Apparently there's a way. Buffs got a whole new line in the last 3 days. #cubuffs

    Tyler Shough had one healthy, solid season in seven years of college football and he goes before Shedeur Sanders? Wow.

    Deion Sanders’ deal with Colorado is 5 years, $29.5 million – an average of $5.9M/year. He’ll make $5.5M in the first year, with raises of $200K every year. Up to now, the $3.6M paid to Karl Dorrell this year was the most CU has paid to a head coach. #cubuffs

    Deion Sanders told CU players if they're not ready to work with him, to get ready to jump in the transfer portal. He added, "Yeah, a quarterback is coming. Yep, about 10 more of them are coming, and they’re dawgs and they’re gonna hunt and they’re gonna eat." #cubuffs
