    Colorado has barred Denver Post columnist Sean Keeler from asking questions at press conferences and from talking to other members of the football program.

    Which frees him up to talk to all the players, coaches and staffers Sanders has gone through like napkins at a barbecue. I’m sure they all have pleasant memories to share.

    Mizzou plays "Mr. Brightside" to give the kids a chance to chant "Fuck KU."

    This is one of the coolest — and most recent — traditions. Started days after the death of Gainesville native Tom Petty.

    Someone mentioned the Budweiser song and Georgia Tech. I’ve always associated that with the University of Wisconsin.

    “When you say Wisconsin, you’ve said it all!”

    Must be the B1G West fanboi in me …

    State university, state employee, I am pretty sure Colorado has laws about that sort of thing.

    This list is incomplete without the Maine Stein Song. Really only works with lyrics and music, and all I could find was a covid version.

    The CU statement actually called him "Coach Prime". LOL. From the ESPN story: The reporter before Keeler at the news conference asked Sanders, "How important is it for everyone to have Aflac as part of their life?"

    Can't make this stuff up. Wait, yes you can!

    The “Coach Prime” reference essentially says this is not a university; it is an athletic brand. Disgraceful.

    They're light years from the rapacious Gary Barnett days, or even Big Bill McCartney.

    Wisconsin is more famous for it. Georgia Tech picked it up when Bud Carson was coach.
