Keeler: CU Buffs’ Deion Sanders looked lost. Travis Hunter looked gassed. After historic collapse vs. Stanford, has clock struck midnight on Boulder’s Cinderella?

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:54:32 GMT

BOULDER — When Deion Sanders demanded his theme music, the Buffs played “Yakety Sax.” If Travis Hunter ran for 140 yards, Charles Kelly rambled for at least 220, arms waving furiously, as if trying to hail the last taxi in Times Square.“If you’re gonna point the fingers, point it at me, because if I’m allowing it, it should be on me, not (Kelly),” Coach Prime said of his veteran defensive coordinator after CU squandered a 29-0 halftime lead against Stanford in a 46-43 double overtime loss.“Put it on me. We go over this stuff. And there are times where you know what group is in … what group you’re on, but you have a lapse of understanding in those crucial moments. Right now, we’re not built for the moment. We’re not built for the moment.”For 30 minutes, the Buffs almost looked built for the College Football Playoff, a fireball of speed and swagger. For the next 30, they looked as if Karl Dorrell had never l...

Well, not all the other businesses."One restaurant that did not shut down on Wednesday was La Piazza, which hosted an event for [Grove owner Rick] Caruso and his contingent of premiere guests since there wasn't an official afterparty," L.A. Magazine reported.Caruso reportedly promised to compensate business owners for the lost day of sales, though "it’s unclear whether those owners plan to pass that monetary gesture down to their staff," the Magazine said. That said, some workers seemed willing to shake it o...

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is withdrawing his offer to buy Manchester United, a person with knowledge of the process told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of confidentiality restrictions. Sheikh Jassim had been one of the leading contenders to complete a takeover of the storied soccer club, which was put up for sale last year.
