Deion Sanders slept in his office before Nebraska win, future Airbnb spot?
Colorado might be the "king of college football" right now, but the coaching approach doesn't change for Deion Sanders.
The 18th-ranked Buffs handed Nebraska a second loss to start Matt Rhule's tenure in Lincoln. It was a gritty win that started with Coach Prime waking up with a one in a million view of Folsom Field.
“I wanted to wake up and see the stadium,” Sanders said about sleeping in his office on FOX Sports Big Noon Kickoff. “I wanted to wake up and feel it. I wanted to see it empty then see the transformation. That’s pretty much what we’re doing.”
Maybe Coach Prime can put his office up as an Airbnb "VIP package" of sorts. It wouldn't be the first time a well-known figure offered up something like that. The Pensacola Blue Wahoos—a minor league baseball team affiliated with the Miami Marlins— recently listed their stadium on the vacation rental site. Imagine the view in the morning as the sun peaks over Folsom and paints the Flatirons.
Sanders came to Boulder and changed the culture of the Buffs football program in several ways. This wasn't scripted by any means, but it's working out for the best in all the way Prime and his staff envisioned in the off-season. They took over last year's one-win team and transformed the roster with top-tier talent.
Colorado preps for in-state rival Colorado State this week. A renewal of the Rocky Mountain Showdown with the Buffs looking to make it six straight over the Rams. Not a surprise, but CU enters the game as 21-point favorites. A Saturday night affair from Folsom Field at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN.
