The Colorado Buffaloes will kick off the 2025 season this Friday against Georgia Tech. It will mark Deion Sanders’ third year at the helm, a campaign in which the program hopes to replicate, at the very least, last season’s performance. And during this time, there is something that happens at Folsom Field whenever the Buffaloes are playing, something Sanders still has not quite gotten over. It always makes him laugh, because in the second quarter of every game, a particular and rather unique occurrence leaves everyone in the stands bursting out in laughter.
That curiosity is the unmistakable smell of marijuana that suddenly spreads through the stadium air, creating an atmosphere unlike any other and making the games even more entertaining.
Deion Sanders gives one last message of motivation to his players as Colorado welcomes Randy Moss
The peculiarity has become an unofficial tradition among Colorado students. It is by no means sanctioned, but it adds a distinct, characteristic flavor to the Buffaloes’ home games.
Asked about it in an interview with CBS, Sanders explained the phenomenon with his trademark lightheartedness and humor, which only made the story more endearing.
The smell of weed in the second quarter surprised the heck out of me like every game I’m like, ‘Dang.’ … It seems like it’s like a light up quarter. You know what I’m saying? So is this the quarter that y’all chose? I’m serious. It’s a TV timeout. It never fails. And I’m like wow! What’s going on?
Sanders said, before continuing.
Because I’ve never been high a day in my life so that’s kind of new to me.
At first, the former NFL cornerback admitted it caught him completely off guard. It was something he had never experienced before, but now it has become almost routine. For the students, it seems to be a common practice, one deeply rooted in Colorado’s culture.
QB1 chosen for the Buffaloes by Deion Sanders
The Buffaloes are fully prepared to open their 2025 campaign against Georgia Tech, a game in which betting markets list them as 4.5-point underdogs.
To lead the offense, Deion Sanders has placed his trust in Kaidon Salter. The head coach confirmed that Salter will be the starting quarterback, tasked with filling the void left by Shedeur
Sanders following his departure to the NFL with the Cleveland Browns.
The kid has a ton of experience, dual threat, can throw the heck out of the ball as well. He’s the guy at this point. … He’s done it before. This is not his first time running out the tunnel and getting the start. … I like what he did in the spring, and he’s growing and growing and growing.
Sanders explained.
Last season, Colorado finished with a 9-4 record. The program now aims to improve upon that mark and secure another bowl game appearance.

Schlitt’s Streak: Yankees Advance to ALDS on Rookie Cam Schlittler’s 12-Strikeout Gem
<!--> [--> Deesha Thosar MLB Writer <!--> --> NEW YORK — Earlier this year, Cam Schlittler caught Aaron Boone’s attention in a late spring-training start.The 24-year-old carried himself with a controlled intensity that Boone didn’t usually see from rookies. Schlittler’s confidence on the mound was superior, no doubt. That much was clear when he pitched four scoreless innings against the Phillies in his final spring start. But it was the right-hander’s competitive edge that left a lasting impact on the Yankees manager.In between innings, Boone decided to keep an eye on him. He watched Schlittler, who was mostly unknown to the skipper at the time, interact with teammates and personnel, curious how he was handling being invited to his first major-league camp. The moment didn’t seem too big for him. Seven months later, the righty made his first career postseason start […]
Fantazie českých kajakářů! Světovou medaili slaví Krejčí i Prskavec
Třiadvacetiletý Krejčí za cílem radostí zahodil pádlo, skoro jako o kousek dál na Olympijském stadionu před čtvrtstoletím Jan Železný. Tak nadšený byl ze své jízdy, po níž měl jistotu, že po bronzu z neolympijské časovky se dočká na kanále u Sydney další medaile.Po vystoupení z lodi objal svoji přítelkyni, o chvíli později se mohl radovat i s Prskavcem, který získal už svou šestou světovou medaili. Parádní tečka za sezonou, která v podání českých slalomářů nebyla dlouho ideální.Zejména dvaatřicetiletý Prskavec sice na začátku sezony získal titul evropského šampiona, ale pak se mu ve Světovém poháru nevedlo tak, jak si představoval. V létě se rozhodl pro razantní změnu v tréninku, aby získal zpět dynamiku a výbušnost. Zjevně dobrý krok.V Austrálii, kterou díky množství soustředění nazývá svým druhým domovem, mu na kanoi nevyšla závěrečná pasáž semifinále, což ho stálo postup.Ve své parádní disciplíně, na níž je dvojnásobným mistrem světa, vystartoval do finále jako […]
Rams’ meltdown in loss to 49ers due to three ugly mistakes late in the game, and one very ‘poor’ play call
The Los Angeles Rams had a chance to take down a division rival and move into sole possession of first place on Thursday night, but instead, they came up empty after making several huge mistakes during the late stages of their 26-23 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams, who were favored by 8.5 points, became an upset victim because they couldn't get out of their own way in the fourth quarter. Although Matthew Stafford threw for 389 yards and three touchdowns, it wasn't quite enough to overcome the Rams' costly errors. Let's cover the three biggest errors that the Rams made from the fourth quarter and overtime. The Rams gave up another blocked kickThe Rams trailed 20-7 in the third quarter, but thanks to Stafford, they were quickly able to erase that deficit. The Rams quarterback threw a touchdown pass […]
‘I’m Pretty Sick Right Now’: Sean McVay Takes Blame for Rams’ OT Loss to 49ers
Everything seemed to indicate the San Francisco 49ers were in for a long night when they traveled south on a short week without Brock Purdy, Nick Bosa, George Kittle and their top three wide receivers to face the surging Los Angeles Rams.The Niners had a long Thursday night, all right — but after nearly 67 minutes featuring innumerable twists and turns, they headed home with an improbable victory that reasserted their dominance in their biggest NFC West rivalry."We talked about how tough we had to be for four quarters," quarterback Mac Jones said. "It came down to who was going to be the toughest team, and I think it was us."Eddy Pineiro hit a 41-yard field goal in overtime before San Francisco stopped Kyren Williams on fourth down with 3:36 to play, and the short-handed 49ers hung on for a […]

Bakoš velebí fanoušky Plzně: Jsem rád, že dostali hráče do varu
Ano, kouče. Jakkoliv divně to může někomu znít. Bakoš už dávno pověsil kopačky na hřebík, více než šest let sbíral zkušenosti v roli asistenta. A evropská premiéra v roli hlavního trenéra? Jako řemen. „Maaarek Bakoš,“ znělo po závěrečném hvizdu stadionem Viktorie. Po právu. A úplně stejně jako v době, kdy „Baky“ coby chytrý útočník sázel branku za brankou.Nevzpomněl jste si u děkovačky na doby, kdy vás takhle fandové vyvolávali po vstřelení gólu?(usmívá se) Je samozřejmě příjemné, když vás lidé ocení. Moc mě to těší, za to jim děkuji. Hlavně jsem byl rád, že dostali do varu hráče. Minulost už moc neřeším.A co budoucnost? Nemáte chuť nezůstat „jen“ dočasným trenérem?To mě vůbec nenapadlo. Přemýšlím nad dalším zápasem (nedělním ligovým s Hradcem, pozn. red.). Dál nic nemám. Je to stěna. Neřešil bych to.Mohl jste si vůbec vysnít lepší premiéru?Přesně takhle jsme si to představovali. Líbila se mi energie celého […]

Will the usual suspects Luke Littler, Luke Humphries or Michael van Gerwen lift the World Grand Prix, or can Jonny Clayton spring a surprise at the double start event?Glen Durrant - the 2019 semi-finalist - casts his eye over the unique 'double in, double out' format. Belgian star Mike De Decker was the surprise winner in 2024, having previously not reached the last four or better at a major championship so will we get another big surprise this time around? What is double in double out? The World Grand Prix Darts features a unique double in, double out format, requiring players to hit a double to start and finish each leg of the 501 game.A player must hit a double (or the bullseye) on their first dart to begin scoring points. If they miss the double, they receive no score […]
