Are Deion Sanders, CU Buffs on cusp of revolutionizing college football? “This is an experiment on a grand scale.”

BOULDER — The front porch leaked. The boards on the floor curled with malpractice. The nails wore the rust of hubris and neglect. If CU football were a house, it would’ve been condemned.Eight months later, Folsom Field is America’s fixer-upper, ground zero for the most fascinating reality show in football. Can Coach Prime fix the roof in time to entertain all those guests from Nebraska? Tune in next week and find out!“This is an experiment,” Chris Fowler, the Buffs alum and longtime ESPN voice, told The Post recently. “This is an experiment on a grand scale that we have not seen in this sport before.”If it were Tulsa or Rutgers, Fowler would still have his eyes glued to the makeover, rubbernecking at the novelty, transfixed at the audacity of it all. Deion Sanders, given a free hand and a blank check to run his own FBS program? Anything could happen. That it’s happening with Fowler’s alma mater only makes it more personal. And surreal.“Even if it ...

He’s felt the thrill firsthand, too, when racing his ’67 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme on the drag strip as a teenager.But it’s not a record time or unbelievable finals that Michael, a 62-year-old NHRA diehard from Denver, named as one of his favorite memories at Bandimere Speedway.Instead, Michael recalled a moment of racing camaraderie that epitomized the deep community roots of a facility that is closing at the end of 2023 after a 65-year run nestled against the Jefferson County foothills.“Two drivers were going to race in the final, and just before the race, one guy broke his U-joint,” Michael recalled. “He’s toast, because (by rule) you only have a certain amount of time to get to the starting line. But the other guy he was going to race against had one, and that driver’s crew grabbed the part, went over to...
