The Colorado Buffaloes enter a pivotal season, with Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, determined to turn last year’s culture problem into the program’s greatest strength. Has Sanders made the right moves to unify the locker room and power Colorado back to Big 12 contention? Kevin Borba delves into Urban Meyer’s “culture problem” critique and flips the narrative: Prime’s portal strategy and leadership focus are the keys to a true culture fix.

The show highlights how this roster overhaul targets hungry, proven leaders—many former team captains—poised to set the standard both on and off the field. Kevin Borba breaks down lessons from last year’s misfires, including misplaced faith in transfer stars and coaching shortcomings, and details how Prime is taking accountability through clear, decisive changes. PLUS: Analysis of the Buffs’ bounce-back potential with an improved staff and a more favorable schedule—could eight wins be on the horizon? Kevin Borba projects the season, weighs in on key position battles, and explores the transformative impact of new faces. The conversation spotlights Boo Carter’s “boom or bust” future: Can a fresh start in Boulder unlock his NFL potential, or will off-the-field struggles linger? Kevin Borba gives insight into Carter’s mentality, versatility, and what a locked-in season could mean for both player and program. Will Deion Sanders’ emphasis on leadership, accountability, and raw hunger rewrite Colorado’s narrative in 2024? Is this the year the Buffs put culture—and wins—first on the national stage?
