It was so wonderful to attend this game. I flew in from Orange County and am staying at the venerable Boulder Broker. Was initially bummed to wake up to snow this morning, but when I got on campus everything was so beautiful. It really wasn’t that cold. The Field Day thing in the IPF was a lot of fun (25 current or former NFL Buffs signing autographs), and the lunch hosting recruits and families was visible. There were some absolutely massive recruits there. Someone else said that the huge crowd and enthusiasm and April snow combined to make the whole scene surreal, and I agree.

It was surreal to watch. Idk if anyone has every ranked spring game vibes for a tv broadcast but this has to be #1. It did not look like a laid back spring game atmosphere. It looked more like an early December conference championship game.
Based on how fast he's absorbed the offense, his leadership and his ability to make throws, we might have the heir apparent already. He looks really savvy out there.
Welp - I guess he’s ruined.
That mother ****ing Nebraska game is going to be so lit. Center of the CFB world that weekend.
Yep.
Yes. It was on ESPN!! So cool. (Once the XFL got the hell out of the way…)
Peggy was adorable with CP.
We were somewhat surprised that nobody gave CP a mic and let him say something to the crowd. Since CP is a total showman, we just expected more interaction with the people in the stadium.
What impressed me most about that was that in spite of all that was going on and on his mind, Coach Prime was 100% focused on her and in the moment. That's special and a lot different than other coaches we have had who either in their own world or always had their head & eyes scanning to see if there was a camera or someone more "important" they could be interacting with.
Fwiw, Tad's got that too.
I love me some Coach Prime.

Lots of Celtics fans here in N’braska. Some wear Celtics stuff for the Irish thing it seems.

I have never seen it get dusty during a snow storm, but darn if it didn't.
There's something going on which they can't emulate or compete with. So they hate. They know their only hope is that something happens to derail what's happening because there is nothing they can do.
Love it.
Ok, that really got me. I teared up. That was beautiful.
That was really cold today, and those of you saying it wasn't bad can kiss my frozen ass, right in the frozen middle.
But really, really fun. About 20 times our group said, "this is a Spring game!" It was packed, energetic, fun, full of hope and promise and just amazing. This explosion of attention has never happened in college football before. I can't believe it's happening to us!
Go Buffs!

It kept getting colder. Getting a Banquet tall boy was probably a mistake. It got much colder after that.
Wasn't that cold. My daughter made me take her jacket off in the stands.

Oh man! I was happy with the 120 minute CU/Prime love festival that was the spring game.
I’m sure it won’t shut the haters up, but they’ll shut up at some point. Lots of salt on social media.
Shedeur seems like the real deal. Hunter is a freak athlete (nearly coming in to break up the 2-pt conversion after getting accidentally picked). MLC was a kid that I hoped would shine in the new era.
Dylan Edwards looked good, Hankerson and the couple touches Venn had also looked good.
Defensively - there were a couple times I saw Cokes get blown back. I was scrambling trying to find familiar players aside from Woods and Sami, and was like “who was that guy?!”
The offense might be a little further a head currently, but no doubt that Coach Kelly and co. Will have a squad come August/September.
The FG/PAT crew….WTF?!
