BOULDER — Colorado's first spring game of the Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders era promises to be an event.
For starters, the game is sold out, a first in Buffaloes history. The scrimmage will be televised by ESPN — the only spring game in the nation to be covered by the network's flagship channel — and a number of highly ranked recruits are also scheduled to be on hand.
But odds are it will be even more than "just" a spring game. There have been all kinds of hints and teases in the social media world about possible celebrity appearances adding to Saturday's festivities — a distinct possibility given Sanders' seemingly unlimited connections.
