For a so-called fish out of water, the 55-year-old Deion Sanders has swiftly become a force of nature that alters streams, as well as menus.
BOULDER — For five decades, the Village Coffee Shop has been the place where CU hangovers go to die.
Undergrads bring their kids, who bring their kids, who bring their kids — a link of breakfast sausages that binds generations. The menu is simple and ageless; that it so rarely changes is part of the charm. So they got rid of the old ones and re-printed the lot, adding “PRIME grits” — “PRIME” in all caps — to their traditional fare.
“The guy is unapologetically himself,” said former Buffs quarterback Joel Klatt, a Denverite who’s now a football analyst with Fox Sports. “And to be quite honest with you, that should fit anywhere. I think it’s a rarity in today’s culture. It’s a breath of fresh air for me, certainly.” Meanwhile, many CU undergrads were thrilled to add Sanders, a media magnet and social media juggernaut, right from the get-go.
“As an alum, the excitement that Coach Sanders’ hire has brought back to the football program is great. I love it,” said Dr. Hillary Potter, a Denver native who is an associate professor of women and gender studies at CU. “I’m guessing that faculty aren’t going to get those emails we got in the past that said, ‘Hey, we’ve got a game coming up, get a seat for 10 bucks.
