Ladies and gentlemen, the Prime effect

This is about what could be the biggest "Prime Effect" on the game.

Its a shame that this has to be said.

One of the reasons Coach Prime considered us is because we fired a black coach and hired one immediately thereafter. No one has ever done that. That specific action was the proverbial "foot in the door" that led to this particular hire.

Just like I said.... It is all about Karl Dorrell.

(and now we have done it twice)

Not only that, but the Karl Dorrell hire (as much as it was objectively a poor hiring decision) broke the normal rule of black coaches only getting 1 chance.

Totally forgot about that.
 
I mean, multiple HOFers at practice, current Super Bowl and MVP winning QBs showing us love, bat **** crazy WRs tweeting about us. This is revolutionizing college athletics. We should be getting our pick of recruits.




Arrested Development No GIF
 
We went to the Austin watch party and half of the group said they were Prime Fans, one of which said he played against Prime’s teams when he was at Prarie View A&M. They were every bit invested as others.

Also, after the game we went to Oscar blues because it is near the CU bar in Austin. Walking in the door multiple people started making comments from across the bar about how we were celebrating our win
Where’s the CU bar in Austin? I was out of town yesterday, but you might be adding one to that crew for future games.
 
What we are seeing is the playing out of what we have always said about football and the value to the university. Yes Coach Prime helps but the value of this program to CU right now, and always should have been, is almost not measurable on the high side.

2 national televised games in a row in one of the most watched time slots in college football. One of those at home where we will showcase the beauty of the area and campus.

Every talking head in the country mentioning CU. Any in nothing but glowing terms. Talk about recruiting a recruiting tool for the general student population. Wait until we see application numbers.

Not to mention the affinity advertisers and companies show with investments and dollars coming into CU. The revenue boon for local businesses and hospitality venues (hotels and restaurants).

Merch and licensing and now NIL for the athletes.

This took Todd Saliman to understand but this has always been available to CU. I am so glad to get to see the second shining period in CU (was there from 85-90 as a student). It has always been there waiting, sleeping, waiting. The giant is now away and this thing is going to roll and grow like the runaway snowball heading downhill.

Go Buffs!
