We like this. I purchased a single game ticket against mighty Delaware for 9/6/25 right when the ticket site went live earlier this week, and had to sit in a queue for several minutes to purchase an OK but not great seat for more than $100. I always walk around, anyway. This ain't like the recent Old Days, when ticket sales personnel would cold call and implore me to buy a ticket.
so I drove an older friend to urgent care this morning. she needed to be examined. there was SO conveniently a dive bar exactly next door. being a germaphobe, I went to the bar not the waiting room.
an older, blue collar crowd of mostly men and some decent looking waitresses... as it was still morning, I ordered a beer which I almost never do and got their special hangover breakfast with green Chile. ... not bad I guess.
as I am eating, one of the guys down the bar starts waxing poetic about the greatness of DS. then like 4 or 5 other old dudes start piping up with their own DS stories about trading cards, jerseys, meeting him, his athletic skills, etc.
I didn't contribute to the conversation but I do enjoy Coach Prime's iconic status and social impact-- this was not a bar full of educated effete alums. there was a NO GANG COLORS OR WEAPONS sign on the front door.
cool story, bro.

Please describe the Hangover Breakfast menu item, featuring Hatch chiles. It actually sounds awesome.
As a microbiologist who has also worked at a few dive bars this is a fascinating choice.
Probably the right choice, even given the choice to also get food; but still one hell of a roll of dice.
You probably aren't going to be exposed to hospital-grade super staph at a dive bar.
You might want to swab Liver’s phone before you make that declaration.
Nosocomial MRSA was my thought, I'm not sure how average urgent care compares to average ER/hospital for that.
Much higher odds you get a little unfriendly E.coli or similar from the sweaty short order cook who has been awake for 36 hours on a coke binge and is sweating all over your food at the dive bar.
That visual gonna help liver a lot.
@Liver - was your meal a bit on the greasy and salty side?
I hate you all. and, yes, I did consider the selection of the dive bar ahead of the urgent care waiting room. it is, indeed, not a Clear cut choice, made more difficult by consuming food and a tap beer from a glass there.
the hangover breakfast was tater tots, scrambled eggs, a hamburger patty, smothered in green Chile and topped with cheese. the burger did have a slightly gamey flavor to it but the green Chile was good. having spent much quality time in multiple countries where the food and water are not considered safe, and having at various times contracted food borne illness in India, Mexico, Brazil, among others, I do understand the risk. my net-net is that I will take the food risk ahead of some goddamn super drug resistant infection or a formerly eradicated disease because I am sitting in a waiting room next to some anti-vaxxer or other poor soul.
and, nope, I have no symptoms of any issues from the hangover plater. I did only eat one bite of that burger.
you all do you, however.

I actually thought about that and wondered if that may true. in the hour or so I was there, not one person in scrubs and with a badge or other symbols to id as a heathcare worker entered the establishment.
... which, if you think about it, is pretty telling.

glad to hear the waitresses were up to your standards
I only mention that because it fits a pattern. good looking young waitresses can make good tips in a bar frequented by older blue collar dudes. the dudes like the attention and they tip well. it ain't rocket science.
Man, I had heard about CP not feeling well and losing some weight, but now I am wondering how serious this is…..

The marketing engine is back in business!
Probably the best thread for this
Nice to see these start rolling in (with the Club Level sponsorship). Hope these are precursors for an actual naming rights deal being close.
Does this indicate that Ford will be replacing Toyota as the official partner of CU athletics? I would find it odd that they would both be ok with the other being shown prominently around the stadium.
Isn’t Ford just at the IPF?
Yes but I’m assuming there will be Ford branding on the outside visible from the brick walk. So visible to people as they enter the stadium
That’s not my understanding from the press release.
