The Calm Before The Media Storm

  

The CU Buffs football team were 1-11 last year. So the house was cleaned out and a new coach was brought in, who cleaned out the house to an even greater degree.

That coach was NFL Hall of Famer Deion "Prime-Time" Sanders, who was hired 10 months ago with the promise that he was going to shake things up.

Like an earthquake, he did.

This Saturday the CU Buffs play the CSU Rams at Folsom Field in Boulder. This annual game, known as the Rocky Mountain Showdown, has never been much of a National draw. 

Until now. This Saturday will mark the 92nd meeting between the CU Buffs and the CSU Rams, and it appears that the game, courtesy of Coach Prime's elevation of the CU program, is now the hot sports issue du jour.

It certainly is the biggest sports issue in these parts, outdoing even the hallowed Broncos for print, radio, and television coverage.

Saturday should be a very exciting day in Boulder.

Here's a few pics of the before.

The Game is sold out...and tickets on the secondary markets are going for over $500.00, the highest priced tickets for a college football game in the nation.

The average price for a ticket to a CU football game last year: $5.00
