Prime Effect: Deion Sanders draws a star-studded crowd in Colorado

One year ago, the Colorado Buffaloes football team won a single game.

In 2023, thanks to the effect of new head coach Deion Sanders, every Colorado game has become a can't miss, star-studded affair.

Saturday night's rivalry game against the Colorado State Rams was no exception.

As the Buffaloes completed their comeback win over their in-state rivals, 43-35 in double overtime, they had a menagerie of celebrities in attendance and enjoying the performance. They weren't just in the stands but on the field, in the suites and in the Colorado locker room as guests of "Coach Prime" Sanders.

Before the game began, Master P blew off some steam by playing ping pong against "Migos" rapper Offset in the team locker room.

Once the game started, Offset took in the game from Colorado's sideline. During an interview with ESPN on the TV broadcast, he got to react to a fumble on the field.

Also adding to the night's festivities, rapper Lil Wayne led the Buffaloes out of the tunnel ahead of the game's opening kickoff.

In addition to Lil Wayne and Offset, fellow rappers Key Glock and Master P were in attendance to cheer on the Buffaloes.

It wasn't just rappers though. Actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat star Kyle Lowry were also in attendance.

Key Glock also performed in the Buffaloes' locker room after the game.
