Buff Nation –
In a rare Friday night showcase, the lights blaze over Folsom Field as Colorado hosts Georgia Tech in a first-ever clash—35 years after splitting the 1990 national title. Call it unfinished business under the Flatirons.
The storylines are pure gold. Coach Prime, fresh off telling cancer to pack sand, returns with fire, swagger, and a reloaded aerial attack built for Boulder’s thin air. Under center, transfer gunslinger Kaidon Salter—one year from the NFL—gets the nod over five-star phenom Ju Ju Lewis. Salter’s arm and savvy earned QB1, but let’s be honest—having Ju Ju waiting in the wings feels like pocket aces.
Georgia Tech brings ACC grit and a spoiler’s edge – but tonight feels bigger than football. Folsom on a Friday is Boulder’s Broadway: alpenglow fading to stadium glow, a sellout striped in black and white, rarefied air humming with Joe Walsh riffs. Even Ralphie, sitting this one out due to “indifference,” adds to the theater. Because with Prime and the Buffs, you either love them or hate them—indifference doesn’t run here.
By night’s end, Salter proves the choice was right, Prime commands the spotlight, and Colorado forces pundits to rewrite their forecasts. The Buffs win a close one, fueled by Prime’s unshakable belief that if he can stare down life’s toughest opponent, his team can stare down anyone.
This is more than a game. It’s Prime time, survival, and Boulder living at its finest. Show up early, stay late, and count your blessings—Colorado’s return to dominance begins tonight.
Who’s got it better than us? Nobody!
Go Buffs!

“Indifference doesn’t run here”
Pure poetry, Doug! Pure poetry.
Good stuff Doug. As a Dallas Cowboy fan it’s easy to root for Prime … As a Husker fan, it’s “GO Yellow Jackets”.
Good Luck!
GO BUFFS!!!!
