A recent media report states that one of Nebraska’s 2023 opponents is ready to renew its rivalry. The Denver Post has reported that Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has banned the color red from the Buffaloes facility.
Colorado wide receiver Omarion Miller told reporter Sean Keeler that his head coach isn’t a fan of the color red inside the Buffs facility.
“Coach Prime doesn’t like us wearing red in the facility. I didn’t know it was that bad. No red in the facility. “They don’t like their red here. They hate red. No red.”
The former Big 8 and Big 12 rivals will renew their long-standing rivalry on September 9th. That’s when Nebraska will travel to Boulder, Colorado, to take on the Buffaloes.
That game will be the home debut of the new head football coach of Colorado, Deion Sanders. The game has been a major topic of conversation since the Buffaloes introduced Sanders as the head coach back in December of 2022.
Athletic Director Rick George made several comments regarding the September 9th showdown between the Cornhuskers and the Buffaloes.
“We need to sell out, and we need the Nebraska game to be all black and gold… no red! Coach Prime’s first home game is against Nebraska, and we’re gonna give him a Colorado Buffalo welcome with black and gold. So we expect everybody to come up and show up. Don’t sell your tickets, because we know who you are and that’s not gonna work.”Nebraska fans have always been known for traveling well, and Boulder has shown to be no different. Their last trip to Boulder saw the No. 25 Cornhuskers fall to Colorado 34-31 back in 2019.
