ALERT: College Football Insider Says Prime Effect is Done for Colorado Football
from Locked On Buffs - Daily Podcast on Colorado Football and Basketball · host Locked On Podcast Network
Has the Coach Prime effect really run its course in Boulder? Kevin Borba fires back at recent headlines claiming Colorado's luster has faded, breaking down the real story behind viewership drops and why the Buffs are still a national draw. With Colorado football ranking top-30 in TV eyes despite last year’s rocky record, is the media narrative missing the point about Deion Sanders' ongoing impact? Fall camp is almost in the books, but huge position battles remain unsettled. Kevin Borba drills into the nickelback showdown, the scramble for the fourth linebacker, Colorado’s wide-open running back competition, and crucial decisions looming on the offensive line and pass rush. Who will step up and claim roles as Georgia Tech prep ramps up? Plus, another big win off the field: Progressive Insurance jumps in as a key sponsor, boosting Colorado’s profile (and bank account) as the athletic department plots its next leap forward under new AD Fernando Lobo. Kevin Borba details why this signals smart business for the Buffs' brand—whether or not Coach Prime is around for the long haul. Is the Prime effect truly dead, or is Boulder still at the center of college football’s biggest spotlight? Kevin Borba says don’t believe the hype—Colorado’s story is very much alive, and the next chapter is about to unfold. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
