Coach Prime doesn’t seem like one that lacks for entertainment options, but maybe that’s just me.

Coach Prime Needs To Find House 1 Mile From Campus
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
My in-laws lived in St. Augustine, Florida for about a decade. They were in a community, just like dozens of other communities that dotted that swampy landscape (clubhouse, pool etc...).
The thing that was most surprising about the arrangement to me, was that we would all pile into a car three or four times a day and drive somewhere (breakfast, shopping whatever). And it ALWAYS took 45 minutes, even if it wasn't far. I don't know why it took 45 minutes to get anywhere, but it's something that I noticed.
As someone who walks or bikes nearly everywhere, and considers getting into a car a chore (I have to drive down to the Springs this morning, and I'm dreading it) I found it fascinating that driving was so prevalent in the culture (my father-in-law is a big-time road biker, and it would never occur to him to bike to a destination).
I'm speaking from a narrow experience, and I don't know how widespread the "I don't mind being in my car all of the time" culture is in Florida; and I don't know if it's part of Prime's cultural experience either. I'm just sharing that in my Florida experience, people don't seem to mind being in a car all.the.****ing.time. And I'm wondering that drive even seems like a pain-in-the-ass at all to Prime.
Your current living situation is ideal minus the trade off regarding what you know to be a smaller house that would be preferred for your current family situation.
Most Americans trade for the bigger house and accept driving as the reality.
Experiencing our “urban” townhome in Silverthorne has enlightened me to the benefits of being able to walk or bike to pretty much anything besides skiing and it will impact my next decision on a primary house, but you basically increase the cost per square foot by 2x at a minimum, so there are trade offs to consider.
Based on how his Dallas area residence is way out in the country and the fact that his Jackson house was on a significant chunk of land, it isn't surprising that he opted to get away from the crowds. He mentioned in the video he had room for the dogs to run and how he enjoyed the peacefulness of the views. He is a country boy at heart.
usually a simple Goggle search will list Llcs and owner/operator name.
Little BuffUp, my son, wants your lifestyle. He has no desire to drive, wants to walk/bike to everything.
Interestingly enough, I just tried that and our LLC in Colorado didn't come up but a few with the same name in other states did. I think to find us you'd have to first go to the Colorado Sec of State website, but that's easy to do and your overall point is well taken.
This thread was ruined pretty quickly
My commute is 18 minutes, 11 miles, Prime's will be 32 minutes and 20 miles. Not going to be an issue. Plus by his own admission he is at the facility around 5 am, traffic is pretty non-existent then.
CP doesn't care about any of this. the drive is Sam's problem.
Prime values solitude. He doesn’t care about all of that ancillary stuff.
I’m pretty sure that he embraces that half hour of “alone” time heading into work. That was part of his calculation looking for a home. He didn’t buy where he did because of Boulder’s real estate costs.
I will reiterate- the commute into Boulder from there is a very pleasant drive. Zero traffic at just about any time of day. He can, if he chooses to, actually drive past an actual herd of Buffalo. The commute is a non-issue and in fact is probably a lot nicer than the commute he is used to in places like Dallas and Jackson. If he needs a really good restaurant or a high end grocer (God forbid he slum it at Safeway), that’s all less than 15 minutes away. No, he can’t walk there. I honestly don’t get the impression that’s a problem for him.
Based on his physical limitations at this point in his life, and the fact that he rides a bike around the CC, I don't think he's trying to walk anywhere. Also, Boulder is not conducive for people who want a lot of space with no neighbors as he has been vocal about since he got here, so the idea that he was ever trying to live a mile from campus seems far fetched.
I’ll also add that every coach since McCartney has commuted into Boulder. Barnett lived about a half mile from where Prime lives. Hawkins, Embree and Dorrell all commuted from Lafayette. I honestly don’t know where Tucker lived. He could be the exception.
I believe tucker was Louisville or Lafayette but he was definitely not in Boulder.
Mac lived in Gunbarrel so I count that as “commuting to Boulder”
Read the thread for Tucker's address
(Yes, I think we / OP should change title and move to Barzil)

I was Coach Mallory's milkman (Watts-Hardy) 1 year. Very nice guy, family drank a lot of milk. Lived N side of Arapahoe, maybe 1.5 miles before the Lafayette 'Memorial' at the intersection.
I'm guessing the majority of folks here never heard of him. Pretty good coach, but we shot the moon to get chucky fairbanks, and those blue uniforms his daughter wanted

His house in MS was something like 45 minutes out from JSU, and he easily could have afforded a home in Jackson. Same is true with his ranch outside of Dallas. Some people (especially celebrities) want to be removed from it all so that they don't have randos just creeping on them. He seems quite happy with his new home, which makes me happy.

Tucker lived in White Hawk Ranch (Boulder address), 10 minute commute to work straight down Arapahoe
McCartney lived in a neighborhood right off 287 (immediately west of the Erie town limit), MacIntyre lived in WHR also
Barnett was actually much closer in....close to the Boulder Rez. Embree lived in one of the coolest areas of Boulder (Above White Cliffs, just off 95th....absolutely incredible views up there, and I think he might even still own that home).....also happens to be about 1 minute from where Neu lived
Did he wear his sweet shades in the coffee shop?
Have you considered getting a driver?
