CU Buffs take show on the road with Denver practice
DENVER – For Shedeur Sanders, Friday night wasn’t ideal.
Colorado’s senior quarterback takes his work seriously and never likes to waste practice time.
Getting on the field in front of a few thousand fans, however, forced Sanders and the Buffaloes to dial it back a notch.
“You’re not seeing much because we’re not doing some of our route combinations and not putting in some of the packages that we would normally put in and giving Shedeur the usage of the whole field and some things that he wanted to do,” CU head coach Deion Sanders said after the Buffs held a practice at All-City Stadium. “So he got a little frustrated because he wanted to do a few more things, but we can’t do that out here in front of the whole country.”
The time is soon to come that Shedeur and the Buffs can let loose, as the season opener on Aug. 29 against North Dakota State (6 p.m., ESPN) is quickly approaching.
Friday night, however, was about getting in some work in a different environment.
After nearly three weeks of practices behind closed doors on campus in Boulder, CU loaded busses on Friday to work out on the home field of Denver Public Schools squads, located on the campus at Denver South High School.
All 5,000 of the free passes to the event were claimed, although it was estimated that about 3,500 to 4,000 fans were attendance. It wasn’t a packed house, but still a quality turnout for an evening event that was announced just one week earlier.
“This is phenomenal for the university, this is phenomenal for the young men,” Coach Prime said.
It is believed that this is the first time CU has ever conducted a preseason practice off campus, but Coach Prime wanted to shake things up a bit.
“Usually in camp, everybody hits a little lull,” he said. “We try to catch them before they hit that so they can bring some excitement, so they can push through just the whole monotonous of the same old, same old routine. And that’s what this was about today. I think they did a phenomenal job. I’m proud of them.”
Coach Prime reported that there were no injuries sustained during the practice. Star cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter did not participate, but not because of injury.
“Travis is good,” Coach Prime said. “We just wanted to give him some rest. He’s great. He can’t wait to see the sellout crowd in our first game.”
Asked if the event brought back memories of his own high school days, at North Fort Myers (Fla.) High School in the 1980s, Coach Prime joked that it didn’t because All-City Stadium, with its artificial turf and 5,000-seat bleachers, was nicer than what he played on as a prep.
“We had a grass field (at North Fort Myers), and I think we had one side of the bleachers,” he said. “It was nothing like this. And this probably (would have been) the biggest crowd I would have ever played in (front of during) high school. This probably was a state championship type of game, and I never made it that far.
“But I’m glad we got to come deep in the community. … I just wanted to change the atmosphere, come over to Denver. The fan base is phenomenal everywhere around the country but we just wanted to come over and show some love, because we got a tremendous amount of love and appreciation and respect from this part of the city as well.”

Community Guidelines
Welcome to Denver Stiffs! We’re glad you’re here.
Denver Stiffs is a community where sports fans from all backgrounds gather to share their passion. We strive to create a fun and welcoming place for everyone to come fan with us. These guidelines help ensure that happens. Here’s the short version:
- Be respectful in your interactions with contributors and fellow fans.
- Don’t be a jerk, and don’t call other people jerks.
- We’ll remove anything we see that jeopardizes our communities.
- We ask that you do your best to keep the conversation to sports and primarily our favorite NBA team. Why? Because there are plenty of other sites where you can air your opinions about everything from politics to soup recipes.
- You can help with that. If you see something that doesn’t align with our guidelines, let us know. Flag any comments or usernames that violate our guidelines so our community managers can review them.
These rules extend to our communities everywhere: in our comments, on social media, and in real life.
We do not allow any of the following:
- Personal attacks: This includes name-calling, insults, threats, hurtful comments about someone’s appearance, voice, or style, and all other forms of attacks. We want our communities to be welcoming and fun. Personal attacks are the opposite of that.
- Attacks on staffers: It’s fine to critique a post, disagree with a take, or point out errors. We draw the line, however, at personal attacks (see above) about writers, editors, moderators, etc.
- Discriminatory or derogatory language: This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or other forms of discrimination.
- Harassment: This includes, but is not limited to, intimidation; stalking; unwanted photography; inappropriate physical contact; use of sexual or discriminatory imagery, comments, or jokes; and unwelcome sexual attention.
- Wishing harm on athletes: Don’t root for an injury, don’t root for harm to befall a coach or athlete. You can want someone to get fired or released, but please do not hope for bodily harm.
- Misinformation and disinformation: Sharing demonstrably false information about news or world events, beyond the scope of reasonable sports opinion or analysis, can be harmful to our communities. These comments will be removed and may result in a suspension or a ban.
- Illegal activity: Don’t promote, encourage, or make light of any kind of illegal activity, including DUIs, domestic violence, or sexual assault.
- NSFW images and comments: Keep it PG-13, or you will be removed. This includes language and images that are sexual, violent, or generally offensive in nature.
- Excessive profanity: Fans get worked up on game days, and we’re fans, too. We understand that. As a general rule, keep profanity to a minimum. Some communities prohibit profanity, so be sure to review guidelines for the individual communities you participate in.
- Multiple accounts and throwaway emails: These are a signal that you’re not interested in being a productive member of our communities, and we do not allow it.
- Trolling: We know it when we see it, and we’ll remove it. Don’t go to a rival team’s community for the sole purpose of riling up their fans, either. Moreover, you should never publish any private or personally identifiable information. Doxxing is strictly prohibited.
- The “first post” rule: If you break any of these guidelines with your very first post or interaction, it signals to our community managers you’re just here to be disruptive. Violators may be banned, blocked, or removed.
- Spam: We have a zero-tolerance policy on spam, which includes sharing links to illegal game streams or downloads. Spam will be deleted and spammers may be banned, blocked, or removed.
- Political commentary: Denver Stiffs is a site dedicated to the Denver Nuggets, not politics. There are many sites available on the internet to discuss politics, Denver Stiffs is not one of them. Please refrain from any political commentary while using our site.
Anyone who doesn’t follow these rules when engaging in our communities will at best be removed from the conversation, and at worst will end up banned from that community. These decisions will be made at the discretion of our community managers and other Mile High Sports personnel. Community managers and moderators have final say on interpretation of violating our community guidelines, and on all decisions resulting in a warning, suspension, and/or ban.
If you see any of these things happening in our communities, please flag it and it will be reviewed. You can also reach out via our contact page.

Louisiana child rape suspect arrested in Denver
DENVER (KKTV) – A man out of Louisiana suspected of child rape is now in custody in Colorado.
The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force said they arrested 43-year-old James Connolly Tuesday morning in Denver.
The U.S. Marshals Service said Connolly was wanted by West Baton Rouge Parish deputies for first-degree rape of a child under 13 years old.
According to the U.S. Marshals, a full-scale investigation into the allegation was launched, and probable cause was found to file charges.
After an arrest warrant was issued on August 12, they said Connolly was likely aware of the warrant and had fled the state.
On Monday, officials reportedly received information that he could be in Denver. The next day, the U.S. Marshals Service said the Colorado Violent Offender Task Force found Connolly working maintenance for a company near I-270 and York Street in Denver under the name “Alli” with a changed physical appearance.
Officials said Connolly was then positively identified and taken into custody.
“The success of this arrest represents a culmination of extensive cooperative investigative efforts between the U.S. Marshals in Baton Rouge, U.S. Marshals Colorado Violent Offender Task Force – Denver, West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Englewood Police Department, and Colorado Department of Corrections,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a release.
He’s currently in the Adams County Jail pending extradition back to Louisiana.
