Phillip Linsday played with great emotion and energy during his time with the Colorado Buffaloes. Now a few years removed from his college career, he shared with me his excitement about what is currently happening in Boulder with head coach Deion Sanders running the show.
Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff” was in Boulder on Saturday for Colorado’s home opener against Nebraska and Linday was a major part of the pregame festivities at Farrand Field. In partnership with Discover’s “Locker Room,” fans could meet with Lindsay and I got an opportunity to interview the all-time great CU running back.
I asked him about what it was like for him when rumors started swirling about Coach Prime coming to Colorado.
“My agent, Mike McCartney, was the one that gave me the sneak peak that Deion could come here. I didn’t believe him,” Lindsay said. “When it did happen, it was surreal. You need somebody like that to come and bring excitment to this university and bring that enegry and swag that we need.”
In Coach Prime fashion, I also asked Lindsay if he believed.
“I definitely believe, man. Deion, he got something clicking here, and though I think people will need to be patient at times, it’s going to be fun.”
