CSU’s Niko Medved is Making a Really, Really Bad Move

2 months ago | 5280.com | Spencer Campbell

Before last Sunday, there was exactly one Colorado State coach I could name without googling. (And the only reason Jay Norvell occupies space in my brain is because his stance on sunglasses conflicts with Deion Sanders’.) But then the Rams nearly upset Maryland in the second round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, leading for most of the game before the referees temporarily suspended the rules to allow those smug turtles to escape extinction.

Denver Public Schools will shutter its classrooms from March 24 to 28 for spring break, meaning moms and dads across the Mile High City will soon be scrambling for ways to fill five long days. Typically, there are two imperfect options: 1. Hit your favorite kid-friendly attractions in the metro area for the umpteenth time. 2. Shell out airfare for a trip to a fun-filled locale.
Boulder Band the Velveteers on Their New Album, A Million Knives

Feb 1, 2025 | 5280.com | Alyssa Chutka |Spencer Campbell

The Velveteers, a Boulder rock trio featuring vocalist/guitarist Demi Demitro and dual drummers Baby Pottersmith and Jonny Fig, spent six years scheduling their own gigs and producing their own music before releasing their first label-backed album, Nightmare Daydream, in 2021. But the following two whirlwind years on the road, opening for big-name acts including Guns N’ Roses, proved that entering the music-industry machine can grind at a band’s soul.

Feb 1, 2025 | 5280.com | Alyssa Chutka |Spencer Campbell

Stephen Graham Jones loves knives—slashing implements of any kind, really. His first task during a recent reorganization of his desk? Figuring out where to put his “big knife.” (Right next to the computer monitor, of course.) During lunch this past December, the Boulder author whips out a blade from his belt and marvels over its Damascus titanium edge. “This is my dress knife,” Jones says.
I’m Sorry, Bo Nix

This past holiday season, my aunt’s boyfriend (whom, I should point out, we haven’t really warmed to yet) reminded me of an article I wrote before the 2024 NFL Draft. In it, I presented a thoroughly researched, astutely reasoned prediction about who would be the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback this year. I’m sure you remember the piece, Bo, but, just in case the knocks of a 17-game regular season have taken their toll on your memory, my conclusion was: not you.
