Colorado just sold out tickets for the season, proving Deion Sanders’ hype is real

After each win, the Colorado Buffaloes celebrate, and head coach Deion Sanders appropriately says, “Now, give me my theme music.”

The excitement surrounding the Buffs has caught the college football world’s attention, including a 98-year-old superfan who danced with Sanders after his team beat Nebraska on September 9th.

It seems that was just the start, and Sanders will need to turn the music up really loud to drown out the haters because he’s high-stepping into history books.

Yet, re-writing history is nothing new to him. He’s a Hall of Famer who casually played baseball at the same time he was playing football simply because he could. (Yeah, he’s got it like that.)

Now, his Buffaloes are doing something never done in school history, and it’s the least surprising feat about Sanders’ tenure thus far.

Despite playing at Folsom Field for 100 years, Colorado has never sold out every home game in a season until now.

However, Coach “Prime” knew this would happen and called it back in the spring. “Get your tickets now because if you don’t, you won’t have a chance.”

In the words of Tupac, “I ain’t mad at cha.”

That’ll do, Colorado. That’ll do.
