Colorado weather is once again refusing to cooperate with Deion Sanders’ spring games. It snowed at the sold-out Coach Prime debut in 2023. It was chilly and wet at the 2024 spring game. Saturday's will feature leftover snow and slush and a high temperature that probably won’t crack 50 degrees. But that’s fine with the Buffaloes, who will mark the start of a new era at Folsom Field.

So much has changed since the last time the Nuggets and Clippers met in the NBA playoffs. For starters, the COVID-19 pandemic is over. The games in this year’s first round series will be played in Denver and Los Angeles and not at Disney World in Orlando. Both teams have new head coaches. Only five players across both teams remain from that epic Game 7 that the Nuggets won to advance to the Western Conference finals.

BOULDER — Deion Sanders wishes his team was playing someone other than itself Saturday at Folsom Field. The third-year Colorado coach tried to set up a scrimmage with Syracuse coach Fran Brown to no avail as the NCAA denied the joint waiver filed last month. It came at a time where the spring game is slowly dying across college football. Countless Power 4 programs have either modified or canceled the traditional spring game altogether.

BOULDER — It’s been 30 years since Deion Sanders had his No. 2 jersey retired by Florida State. On Saturday, his son will get the same honor before Colorado’s spring game. While Sanders had to wait six years after leaving college to get that honor, Shedeur Sanders will get it before taking a snap in the NFL.

BOULDER • Even if it’s just a scrimmage against their teammates, Kaidon Salter and Julian “JuJu” Lewis will take a big step toward trying to become the next starting quarterback at Colorado this Saturday. When they look up at the east side of the stadium, they’ll see a new retired number — No. 2 — for the guy everyone in the new-look room is trying to replace, Shedeur Sanders. No pressure, Kaidon Salter. No pressure, Julian “JuJu” Lewis. No pressure, Ryan Staub.

ST. LOUIS — Western Michigan fans turned Enterprise Center turned into Lawson Ice Arena and celebrated the Broncos’ first hockey national championship so loud you could probably hear the celebrations from the Gateway Arch all the way back to Kalamazoo.

ST. LOUIS — Matt Davis was trying to pull a rabbit out of his hat one last time. “I was just trying to do whatever I was called upon to do,” the Denver goaltender said as he fought back tears after the Pioneers’ 3-2 double overtime loss to Western Michigan on Thursday night at the Frozen Four. He did that — and some. The hero from last year’s Frozen Four in St. Paul, Minn., looked like he was going to be the hero again this time around at Enterprise Center in St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS — Denver and Western Michigan only knew how to play one way. After the Pioneers blew a 3-0 lead a few weeks ago at the NCHC Frozen Faceoff, this time it was the Broncos who blew a 2-0 lead with a trip to the national championship game on the line. The result, though, ended up being eerily similar. Just 26 seconds in the second overtime period, a puck bounced awkwardly off the stick of DU star Zeev Buium and found the stick of Owen Michaels, who deposited the winning goal past Matt Davis.
