Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, has committed to remaining with the team for the next 5-10 years, dismissing any interest in NFL coaching positions. This announcement comes as Colorado prepares for its spring football game, which has drawn significant attention despite adverse weather conditions, including snow and rain. The game is expected to attract a large crowd, with over 28,424 tickets sold, marking it as the second-largest in the program's history after last year's 47,277. Sanders also used the occasion to promise a bowl game appearance, energizing fans and players alike, and gave a shout-out to 99-year-old super fan Peggy Coppom. Additionally, the spring game serves as a platform for showcasing the team's progress under Sanders' leadership, especially after significant roster changes and the integration of new recruits.

✔️Touch ✔️Zip ✔️Vision ✔️Big-play ability ✔️Overall feel It was just a spring game on Saturday at Nebraska, yes, but freshman QB Dylan Raiola made quite an impression. On his day… and other takeaways from Lincoln. ⤵️https://t.co/Pur4a20sxW

NEW | Spring football is over. I have thoughts on Nebraska's QBs in Dylan Raiola, Heinrich Haarberg, Danny Kaelin + other offensive guys. A note: reading too far into what is one practice is futile, so drink the Kool-Aid at your own risk. My takes: https://t.co/O5HYUNjEoy
Colorado wound up selling 28,424 tickets for today's spring game. Not a lot of them showed up, but it's still the second-largest spring game "attendance" in CU history, behind last year. #cubuffs

It’s a throwback-sized crowd for the spring game. With poor weather, it looks like a pre-Prime crowd at this point #cubuffs https://t.co/tdTH3uiStQ
Nebraska spring game thoughts: -Raiola looks the part (Haarberg also played well) -Biggest surprise was the WR's who could be a team strength -Lloyd and Barney = fast -Sloppy with penalties, TO's, missed FG's -7 straight losing seasons but win total is 7.5...let the hype begin.
Some quick Red-White halftime observations including receiver depth on display, a couple injury bummers and, of course, Dylan Raiola's #Huskers debut: https://t.co/AlOd2KTKIY
