Some news: I'm now a full-time sports reporter for
@DenverGazette
and
@csgazette
. You can expect coverage of all things
@CUBuffs
and
@CSURams
, as well as backup for our talented pro sports beat writers. Looking forward to being back covering college football again this fall!
Omarion Miller only has 12 catches in his
#CUBuffs
career, but they’re almost always highlight-worthy. Just an unbelievable effort to stay on his feet and get into the end zone for a huge
#CUBuffs
TD. ⬇️
Jay Norvell on the death threats that
#CSURams
' Henry Blackburn has received over the last few days:
“I hope there can be some accountability in that type of behavior. I’m very concerned for our kids. There’s really no place for that in athletics and sports."
This would scare the crap out of me if I was a
#CUBuffs
fan, but man Shedeur Sanders is tough. Frustrating night with a bunch of hits, but he’s not going down lightly here.
Travis Hunter on the injury he suffered after the late hit in the first quarter:
“It’s football at the end of the day. Stuff like that gon’ happen.”
#CUBuffs
Former
#CUBuffs
star Jabari Walker gets the game ball from his coach and fellow program legend Chauncey Billups after scoring a career-high 25 points off the bench in the Trail Blazers’ win over the Spurs tonight. ⬇️
That’s what Will Sheppard can do, folks. After dropping the pass before the Hail Mary last week, Sheppard more than makes up for it with an insane catch for the second
#CUBuffs
TD of the day. This is gonna be a fun game. ⬇️
If the
#CUBuffs
land Houston transfer Tyler Johnson, a two-year starter at right guard, here's an early guess at what the starting offensive line could look like next year:
LT Jordan Seaton, LG Tyler Brown, C Yakiri Walker, RG Tyler Johnson, RT Savion Washington
#CSURams
coach Jay Norvell on the late hit that injured
#CUBuffs
star Travis Hunter:
"That’s certainly not something that we teach or coach, it happens in football sometimes. I hope Travis gets healthy and gets back out there. We certainly don’t want to see anybody get hurt."
#CSURams
coach Jay Norvell asked if anything’s changed with
#CUBuffs
coach Deion Sanders after last year’s game ⬇️
“I don’t have any feelings for Deion Sanders, I really don’t. I don’t think about Deion Sanders unless you guys ask me a question about him. No, nothing’s changed.”
Transcribed David Carle's full quote when asked about the adversity his team faced in traveling across the country to essentially play in 2 road games in the NCAA Tournament. He's long talked about the need for change and gave another great answer postgame.
One of my favorite photos I took on Saturday. People on the outside may not know him, but senior
@M_Shuster15
is beloved within the program, especially by
@seancliff14
. The two embraced on the field after the win ⬇️
Travis Hunter warming up in Warren Sapp graphic tee. He’s worn similar ones in warmups before for Deion Sanders at TCU last year and CBs coach Kevin Mathis last week.
#CUBuffs
Some personal news: Today is my first day with the
@csgazette
and
@dnvrgazette
. I’ll be working as a page designer/copy editor and am already enjoying myself here in Colorado Springs.
FINAL: Colorado 27, Arizona State 24
What a win for the
#CUBuffs
, who snap a two-game losing streak and improve to 4-2 (1-2 Pac-12) under Deion Sanders. Alejandro Mata’s 43-yard FG with 12 seconds left is the play of the season so far.

@DU_Hockey
goalie and the MOP of the Frozen Four, Matt Davis, takes the honorary first shot tonight. Davis has some NBA ties in his family, too, as he’s cousins with Dillon Brooks. Cool moment for someone who’s become a local celebrity the last few weeks.
“We wanna play with tough, blue collar kids that love football, care about football and there's a lot of kids in Colorado that have that,”
@spedbraet
told me.
On the 7 Colorado kids coming with Kansas State to face the
#CUBuffs
tonight ⬇️
Deion Sanders: "Wonderful win. We played like hot garbage. I'm sick of it. I really am. We're trying to figure this out. I'm happy about the win, but I'm not happy about the fashion we won. We're better than that."
#CUBuffs
Preston Hodge with his 2nd interception with the
#CUBuffs
. Just terrific coverage in the end zone. Can’t be overstated how much of a boost Hodge and DJ McKinney have been in the secondary. It’s no longer just Travis Hunter locking guys open back there. ⬇️
Pretty sure that was Javon Antonio’s first or second snap of the game. He was warming up with the tight ends pregame. What a way to come in and deliver the
#CUBuffs
the lead.
With under 3 weeks until the season opener, Deion Sanders feels "so much better" about his latest
#CUBuffs
team. After adding talent on both sides of the ball, he's ready to get going.
“I wish we could push fast forward because I’m ready to go.” Story ⬇️
Cormani McClain has looked really good in his first extended action of the season. Seems to have forced his way into a big role, at least while Travis Hunter remains out.
#CUBuffs
You are looking at the largest crowd EVER for a
#CUBuffs
women’s basketball home game. It’s a sellout announced at 11,338. Fifth sellout all-time for the program, but previous 4 were all NCAA Tournament games. Most recent was in 1995.
I don't know if Trace McSorley has a broken foot or not, but that's what we were told in the press box. Regardless, this is one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen.
Julian Strawther is hooping. Exactly what Nuggets were hoping to see from him to start his second summer league. He’s got 16 points to lead Denver as we’re tied at 49 midway through the 3rd quarter.
Today is officially my last day as managing editor for the
@DailyCollegian
. While we haven't printed a daily edition in over a month and a half, I'm grateful for the opportunities I had this past year and am really proud of each print edition. Here's some of my favorites:
LaJohntay Wester with a TD catch in 5 straight games for the
#CUBuffs
. Also, just watch Travis Hunter signal Wester to cut back for a block… and what a block Hunter provided, too. ⬇️
.
@Micah_Parsons11
thought long and hard about how he wanted to be remembered in the history of the Penn State-Pitt rivalry. It's safe to say Parsons and the defense will be remembered for one thing –– that goal line stand. Story ⬇️
Dallas Hayden runs behind a bunch of good blocks and the
#CUBuffs
have scored touchdowns on three straight possessions for the first time since the first half of the Stanford game last season. ⬇️
Former
#CUBuffs
RB Anthony Hankerson has been huge today after Oregon State lost top back Jam Griffin early. Hankerson has 26 carries for 113 yards and 2 TDs. Those of us who watched him the last two years in Boulder knew he had this kind of talent.
Amani Oruwariye’s 40 time was impressive this morning and certainly helped his draft stock. But the reason he’s going to get drafted in the first two days is because of his ball skills. Case and point ⬇️
Florida State transfer DB Travis Jay also out on the field warmups. If he plays, it'll be his
#CUBuffs
debut and the secondary could use it with Travis Hunter out.
I guess this is a good time to announce I’ll be serving as the
@DailyCollegian
’s next Managing Editor! Really, really excited to work alongside Dave and Elena for the next year.
🚨 Personal news time 🚨
Very excited to say I’ll be the
@DailyCollegian
’s next Digital Managing Editor, working on all things, uh, digital. Very excited to work alongside
@eljoro123
and
@King_TylerB
for the next year.
Niko Medved might coach the
#CSURams
for another decade. He might be gone in a month. But he's proven one thing as he's taken CSU back to the NCAA Tournament — he's one of the sports' best.
“He can go as high as he wants to,”
@CoachMiles
told me. Story ⬇️

@BraydenNicolosi
's story is one straight out Friday Night Lights.
Moving from San Diego to Texas during COVID, BFN quickly went from JV to leading
@AledoISD
to a state championship.
A few years later, he's the $600K QB for the

tight end continues to tear it up since Halloween ⬇️

@tyson_jordyn
continues to look like a star in the making for the
#CUBuffs
. The true freshman WR was the talk of camp and he’s backed it up all season long.
Final: Nevada 77, Colorado State 74
Epic
#CSURans
comeback denied by Jarod Lucas at the buzzer for the Wolf Pack. First 3-game losing streak of the season for CSU. Isaiah Stevens with 23 for the Rams, and Lucas matches with 23 for Nevada. Incredible game.
#CSURams
coach Jay Norvell praises sold-out crowd from Saturday's win over Northern Colorado and once again mentions how moved he was by the jersey retirement ceremony honoring the late John Mosley,
“I thought it showed what we’re capable (of) here at CSU.”
Two of the most electric Penn State WRs of the last decade,
@AllenRobinson
and
@Kj_hamler
, come from the same high school outside of Detroit ––
@OLSMFootball
. Robinson thinks that's no coincidence. My feature story:
Barbour, while speaking on facilities upgrades, said upgrades to the basketball facilities will "break ground" in the spring. Pat Chambers has consistently talked about the need to improve the locker room and training facilities in the BJC. Big win there.
Shilo Sanders promised his play style wouldn’t change after last week’s targeting penalty. He hasn’t.
#CUBuffs
safety forces a fumble for the second straight week.
Travis Hunter with 4 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown already. The
#CUBuffs
star could be in for another big day. This UCF defense doesn’t seem to have any answers so far ⬇️
Super proud of our coverage of the incredible comeback win for the
#CSURams
. Immediate reaction in Sunday's
@DenverGazette
followed by today's edition with an in-depth look at "The Holy Holker" and what the win means for the program.

@DU_Hockey
announces it will host the 2028 Frozen Four at the United Center in Chicago. DU also gets to host a 2027 regional in Loveland, so it will be back-to-back years with regionals in Colorado with previously-announced 2026 regional, also in Loveland.

’ Jay Norvell on matchup vs.
#CUBuffs
: “I do wish we played ‘em every year because it’s a rivalry game. I think it’s something the fans love and the players love to play in those kind of games. We get to get ‘em in our stadium this year. It should be awesome.”
The reload begins for the
#CUBuffs
and the first addition is a good one. Former Florida State DE Derrick McLendon started 12 games last year and tallied 37 tackles, 5 TFLs, 3.5 sacks and 3 QBHs.
