Podcasts about Buffs

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil live from Murphey Creek Golf Course. The guys discuss the Broncos' upcoming third and final preseason game. Will Sean Payton rest most of his starters tonight? What are the Broncos getting from playing Evan Engram more than most of the other starters? Will JK Dobbins go into the season without a rushing attempt in a preseason game? Zach and Phil debate if Marvin Mims will play tonight as he returned to practice this week. Has Sean Payton treated this team too soft this training camp? With cut day coming, who on the roster is it "now or never" for? What position rooms are too full? We react to the latest with Deion Sanders and him having to testify directly following the Buffs game in Georgia. Will this cause a distraction to the team or coaching staff? 

Colorado beat writer Brian Howell, from BuffBlitz on the On3 network, is joined by Leo Rivera of BuffStampede.com ( https://BuffStampede.com ) to talk about Colorado football after talking to coordinators Brennan Marion and Chris Marve.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to break down the Broncos and the AFC West. Where does Bo Nix rank in the division as far as quarterbacks go? How do the guys feel about Sean Payton saying that Bo Nix will likely not play in the Broncos' third preseason game? Are the Broncos doing a disservice to JK Dobbins if he doesn't play at all in preseason? We pivot to the Colorado Buffaloes and react to a report that Juju Lewis was considering transferring to Georgia Tech this offseason, the Buffs' first opponent of the season. Does this explain why Deion Sanders has talked about Lewis the way he has? Is Lewis still a lock to be the Buffs' starting quarterback this season, or could Isaac Wilson take over that role? We wrap up the show recapping what we learned in Denver sports today, including the NFL's Pro Bowl going away. 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys preview college football as Week 0 kicks off this weekend. Zach shares his Heisman sleeper and the sleeper team he's picking to make the college football playoff. Zach and Phil debate if the Broncos have a penalty issue. Are the Broncos undisciplined? Will an increase in zone coverage help the Broncos avoid defensive holding and pass interference calls? Do the Broncos need to win the AFC West to win the Super Bowl this season? Where does the Broncos' run game stack up in the AFC West? We react to a report that Juju Lewis was considering transferring to Georgia Tech this offseason, the Buffs' first opponent of the season. Is Lewis still a lock to be the Buffs' starting quarterback this season, or could Isaac Wilson take over that role?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to react to the story that Juju Lewis looked into transferring to Georgia Tech in the offseason. Will we see both Lewis and Isaac Wilson play quarterback for the Buffs this season? We pivot to the Broncos and hear from Sean Payton saying Bo Nix "probably won't play this Friday". Do the guys agree with this approach to preserve Nix? Could this cause the Broncos to have a slow start to the season? Today's "Three Count" features Colorado being one of the top 5 most bet-on teams to hit their season win total, Jamal Murray not making it to the Nuggets workouts in Puerto Rico with JJ Barrea, and the Avalanche being announced to have 16 games this season. We react to a new study that details the link between CTE and former football players who passed away between 2016 and 2021. 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. We debate if Jaleel McLaughlin has a chance to make the Broncos' 53-man roster. Will the Broncos keep more than 3 running backs? Will JK Dobbins' injury history force the Broncos to keep an extra running back? Zach and Phil debate the age-old question of whether the Broncos should play their starters in the final preseason game. The guys explain that they want to see the offense get more continuity together before the regular season and see the starters play the first quarter. Are there any players the guys don't need to see play any more preseason snaps? What do the guys make of future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner being linked to the Broncos? Would Wagner be accepting of a bench role behind Singleton and Strnad? We react to Deion Sanders' press conference from yesterday. The guys speculate what has led to Sanders' change in tone. Has new AD Fernando Lovo gotten through to Sanders that he is now shouting out former Buffs? 

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to break down Deion Sanders' press conference from yesterday. We hear about whether his lawsuits will be a distraction to the team, Shilo Sanders' lawsuit, and the Buffs' offensive line. Is Deion Sanders' seat getting warm in Boulder, especially if they cannot win this season? We pivot to the Broncos and react to Bill Barnwell's article in which he predicts the Broncos to regress. We look back at Barnwell's impressive history when predicting teams to regress or improve. What is the most important game on the schedule for the Broncos to avoid a decline? Today's "Three Count" includes the Nuggets being tied with the Rockets for 4th/5th in an ESPN poll on who will win the Western Conference, the wheels coming off for the Rockies as they lose their 7th straight game, and Dolly Parton passing away. Would it be a "red flag" if Cale Makar doesn't sign an 8-year contract with the Avalanche this offseason? Could Makar signing for the maximum amount of money possible cause a disturbance in the Avs locker room? 

Colorado reporters Oliver Hayes and Leo Rivera of BuffStampede talk about Colorado football and the linebackers in particular.

Colorado beat writer Brian Howell, from BuffBlitz on the On3 network, is joined by Leo Rivera of BuffStampede.com to talk about Colorado football after head coach Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders and others addressed the media on Monday.

Even in a tough fundraising market, investors are still writing checks. The question is: to whom? This week, we break down the latest CPG investment data and examine why protein-packed, dye-free, and ingredient-conscious startups continue to stand out with investors. We also take a closer look at the emerging products generating buzz – including protein candy, mushroom lemonade, snacking croutons, and tinned protein bars – and what they say about the future of food and beverage. Show notes: 0:20: A Timely Story. Which Direction? Head North. Algae Oil Is Hot. Jacked Up. Crunch, Sip, Snack. – The hosts open the episode by discussing the rapid rise of better-for-you candy, prompted by a recent New York Times article highlighting the category's momentum. While debating the role of alternative sweeteners and whether consumers ultimately prefer lower-sugar formulations or products made with real sugar, they also discuss how the success of brands like Poppi has inspired entrepreneurs to apply similar better-for-you playbooks to adjacent categories. The conversation then shifts to investment trends, drawing on Northhall's Q2 2026 Food, Beverage & CPG Financing Report to examine which early-stage concepts are attracting the most investor interest. They highlight recent funding rounds for companies such as Buffs and Algae Cooking Club, along with large-scale M&A activity driven by major corporations repositioning their portfolios around evolving consumer preferences. The hosts also turn their attention to a range of new products, including protein bars packaged in sardine-style tins, snacking croutons, Korean-style bone broth, and mushroom-infused sparkling lemonade. They discuss merchandising strategies, consumer appeal, and whether these unconventional formats and flavors have the potential to break into the mainstream. Brands in this episode: Rotten, Original Tiniez, Chewerz, Happy Candy, Better Sour, SmartSweets, Joyride, Good Greed, Poppi, Olipop, Buffs, Algae Cooking Club, Jacked Granny, RXBAR, David, Croots, Kushi,  Pepperidge Farm, Reclamation, Brodo, Brio Drinks, Goldie

The Baby Buffs are back, and Nebraska fans decided to make fun of them, which led to a response...

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to take a deep dive into the Broncos and their time out at training camp today. The guys share their biggest takeaways from today's practice. Is Pat Bryant having the best camp out of any Bronco? Zach shares about Riley Moss and how well he's looked at practice the past two weeks. Is Moss in store for a contract extension at some point this season? The guys squash any idea of Jahdae Barron competing with Moss for the second cornerback position. Is JaQuan McMillian also in store for a contract extension? We hear from Moss on learning from his past penalties and still playing aggressive. We pivot to the Buffs as they went down to Colorado Springs for camp. We hear from Deion Sanders on how getting away from Boulder can benefit the team and the narrative that they are a small team. We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com's Aniello Piro joining the show to recap the day in Denver sports that included the Broncos' injuries adding up and the Nuggets bringing in Lonnie Walker for a camp invite.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the Nuggets hiring Dave Joerger as a coach on David Adelman's staff. Could Joerger be in place to take over as head coach if Adelman stumbled this season? We hear the latest report from Shams Charania on the Nuggets' asking price for Peyton Watson in a sign-and-trade. We preview Broncos training camp, which kicks off tomorrow. Which player that nobody is talking about now will be the talk of Broncos camp by the end of summer? We react to the report that the Nuggets are looking for a 1st-round draft pick and an impact player in a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson. Will the Nuggets be able to move salary around to get below the 2nd apron? Zach explains how the Nuggets found themselves in this situation by overpaying for guys like Jamal Murray and Christian Braun, and now they are financially strapped when trying to pay Watson. Are the Nuggets "disrespecting" Watson with the contract offers that have been reported? We do our annual ceiling and floors for the Colorado Buffaloes this football season. If everything goes right, what can their record be?  What is the worst-case scenario for the Buffs?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on Colorado football and what their ceiling and floor can be for this season. What is the worst-case scenario for the Buffs? We pivot back to the Broncos and debate which second-year Bronco will take the biggest leap. Will the pass rushers of Sai'vion Jones or Que Robinson go from projects to producers? Will we see Jahdae Barron on the field making a bigger impact? Could Jeremy Crawshaw become an all-pro punter? Today's "Three Count" includes debating if the Broncos should be interested in Vita Vea while he is having contract disputes with Tampa Bay, Caleb Williams coming in at number 51 on the NFL's top-100 player list, and the Eagles signing Jalen Carter to a historic contract making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL. MLB insider Bob Nightengale joins the show to discuss who the most likely Rockie is to be traded, what it would take for the Rockies to trade Hunter Goodman, and much more. 

In hour one of Dover and Cecil, the guys start the show by reacting to the news of the day: LeBron James is now a 76er! Now that he is officially on a team, what does that mean for the NBA? Do we believe in the backup pass rushers if Cooper can't suit up next season? Would the drop-off be dramatic, or would it be an easier hole to fill than most realize? A Nuggets player has come up in talks, but the Nuggets have rebuffed them every single time. Why are the Nuggets making Cam Johnson untouchable? Could they be waiting for Payton Watson before they make any salary-related moves?  We have a list of collegiate athletes that could take a leap next year, and CU’s Juju Lewis was on it. What will the young QB look like for the Buffs next year?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Phil and Justin cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the debate between the morning show and the midday show over whose decision it was to relieve Sean Payton from play-calling duties this year. Did Bo Nix have a say in who was calling plays? With rookies showing up to training camp today, Phil and Justin preview the Broncos rookie class. Phil shares his expectations for Jonah Coleman and how quickly we will know his ability to run the ball at the NFL level. We debate how the Rockies should approach the MLB trade deadline. Is Hunter Goodman untouchable? We preview both Colorado and Colorado State's football seasons. Who is more likely to have success within their conference? What do the Buffs need to do around Julian Lewis to set him up for success in his second season in Boulder? 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Phil and Justin debate if the Broncos' receivers of Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton can be the best wide-receiving duo in the NFL this season. What more do the guys want to see from Waddle and Sutton to be considered in the top tier? How will the addition of speed impact how defenses will defend the Broncos? Is this the best wide receiver duo in Denver since Demarius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders? How long will it take for Bo Nix and Waddle to create the necessary chemistry? What signs should we look for to know Nix and Waddle are comfortable with each other? With the rookies reporting to camp today, we preview the Broncos' rookie class. Who will make the biggest impact in 2026? Could Justin Joly pass Evan Engram for tight end 1? What do the guys need to see from Deion Sanders this season? Will the Buffs have an established identity? How pivotal are the first three games of the season for Colorado? 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into Bo Nix and the Broncos after Nix came out at number 58 on the NFL's top-100 players list today. We hear from his teammates, competitors, and football analysts on what makes Nix so special and why he is deserving of his ranking. Is Nix still an underrated athlete compared to the other quarterbacks in the NFL? Is it fair to have Nix definitively behind Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, his fellow QB's from his draft class? We dive into the Buffs and react to ESPN's FPI analytics predicted winning probability in each of their games this season. With only being favorites in 4 of their games, would a 4-8 season be considered successful? We wrap up the show reacting to the news that the Broncos could re-hire their former defensive coach, Michael Wilhoite, after a run-in with the law at the airport in 2024. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil finish their conversation on Peyton Watson and how concerned they are about the sample size of playing well. We pivot to the Buffs and react to ESPN's FPI analytics predicted winning probability in each of their games this season. With only being favorites in 4 of their games, would a 4-8 season be considered successful? We react to ESPN building the best starting lineup in the NFL with only backup players. Who is the Broncos' best backup player, and could he step in to a starting role? What is the most likely for the Broncos between JK Dobbins going for 1,000 yards, Courtland Sutton going for 1,000 yards, Jaylen Waddle going for 1,000 yards, Nik Bonitto getting 15 sacks, and Evan Engram going for 800 yards? We react to Hunter Goodman's three-home run performance from Sunday, as he becomes the first Rockies player to have multiple games with three home runs in a season. Could he set the NL record for home runs by a catcher? What kind of haul could the Rockies get if they decided to trade Goodman before the trade deadline this year?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Phil and Will continue their conversation on if Sam Ehlinger could be the Broncos backup quarterback. We pivot to the NBA and debate if the LeBron James to Denver dream is dead or still on life support. How desirable would the Nuggets be to LeBron? We look at the major headlines in the NBA, which include Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro getting in an altercation in Las Vegas, as well as Victor Wembanyama signing a 5-year max extension with the Spurs. Could we see Jokic take less than a max contract to help the Nuggets field a more competitive team around him? Phil shares about fights he's seen in the NFL between teammates. We preview the Colorado Buffaloes schedule and debate if this could be Deion Sanders' final season in Boulder. How much will we learn about the Buffs in their first game of the season at Georgia Tech? We wrap up the show with Justin Adams joining the show to discuss what a successful season would look like for Jaylen Waddle this season. 

In hour one of Dover and Cecil, the guys react to the Nuggets letting go of Jonas Valanciunas. Was that move based on fit or dumping salary? Was JV bad for the Nuggets, or did his head coach let him down? Which coach is more likely to get fired, David Adelman, Jared Bednar, or Prime? Who is on the hottest seats going into next year? Coach Prime gave updates on his team this week. What did he say about this roster, and what red flags did it raise about previous years? What is the realistic expectation for the Buffs? The Rockies lost last night, but continue to improve. What has James seen from this Rockies team, and is he encouraged by it? Should more people start coming around on the Rockies? What moves can help them be a playoff team in a few years?

In the third hour of Dover and Cecil,  the guys react to the Nuggets letting go of Jonas Valanciunas. Was that move based on fit or dumping salary? Was JV bad for the Nuggets, or did his head coach let him down? Which coach is more likely to get fired, David Adelman, Jared Bednar, or Prime? Who is on the hottest seats going into next year? Coach Prime gave updates on his team this week. What did he say about this roster, and what red flags did it raise about previous years? What is the realistic expectation for the Buffs? The Rockies lost last night, but continue to improve. What has James seen from this Rockies team, and is he encouraged by it? Jake said the Rockies should look to trade a lot of their roster away. How does James feel about that, and what should the team do to keep building the right way?

Colorado Buffaloes' quarterback Julian Lewis sparks controversy, admitting last season's “high school free-balling” approach meant neglecting film study and defensive prep. Can Colorado rebound from this unorthodox strategy, or are deeper coaching issues at play? Brian Smith spotlights Julian Lewis's blunt admission, questioning the program's culture under Deion Sanders and whether this approach doomed Colorado's chances in the Big 12. Recruiting buzz intensifies as recent commitments see BYU, LSU, Oklahoma, and others secure top prospects. Key discussion points include the Buffaloes' renewed focus on high school recruiting versus the transfer portal, the impact of Big Ten quarterback situations, and whether bluebloods like Ohio State, Michigan, and USC are primed for title runs, and which Big 10 teams are headed for spoiler roles. Brian Smith also fields rapid-fire questions on offensive line talent, defensive strategies, and the nation's most intriguing recruiting hotbeds—making this a must-listen for college football fans.

How will Juju's expanded knowledge of defenses help him in year two? We react to ESPN predicting Eyioma Uwazurike as the player to break out for the Broncos. Is it a bad sign that Jahdae Barron was not the name ESPN identified? We react to the Nuggets waiving their backup center, Jonas Valacinuas.  Will Valanciunas get interest from other teams around the NBA, or will he return to Europe to continue his career? Will shedding Val's salary kick off the Nuggets' offseason to make more moves? Are all the debates on the Nuggets roster unimportant if David Adelman is still the head coach? 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Phil and Aniello cross-talking with Dover and Jake. The guys discuss their tik tok algorithms as well as trying to condition their significant others to allow them to play golf and video games. Phil and Aniello debate if the Nuggets' dream of bringing in LeBron James is officially dead after the report he has whittled his options down to three teams: the Sixers, Cavs, and Heat. Would LeBron in Denver be a better fit than teams like the Heat? Are the Nuggets a LeBron away from competing with the Spurs and Thunder? We react to ESPN predicting Eyioma Uwazurike as the player to break out for the Broncos. Will Uwazurike step up in the absence of John Franklin Meyers and the opposing teams scheming for guys like Nik Bonitto and Zach Allen? We hear from Juju Lewis on not reading defenses last year and debate the step he will take from year 1 to year 2 with the Buffs.

Phil and Aniello continue to break down Seth Wickersham's article detailing Sean Payton during the most recent playoffs. We react to the US Men's National Team getting embarrassed in the round of 16 against Belgium. Will the US ever be on par with the top soccer countries in the world? Have the guys lost their interest in the rest of the World Cup now that the US is eliminated? We react to Deion Sanders' comments from Big 12 Media Day today. Will CU be able to reignite the hype for football with Julian Lewis? What would qualify as a successful season for the Buffs? 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Phil and Aniello preview the Colorado Buffs, as ESPN ranked CU as having the toughest schedule in the Big 12. What would constitute a successful season for the Buffs? Will we see better results with Julian Lewis in year two? We react to the latest with LeBron James' free agency and the Nuggets being listed as a finalist for his services. What would the Nuggets' ceiling be with LeBron? How would the Nuggets complement LeBron and Jokic in the starting lineup? Would the Nuggets still have major holes on defense even with the addition of LeBron? We preview tonight's massive game for the US Men's Soccer team. How would the guys compare the US's run in the World Cup to other sports? We share our predictions for the game. Would the Nuggets match a high offer sheet that a team hands out to Peyton Watson? Could Watson end up being another bad contract on the Nuggets' books? Should the Nuggets look into sign-and-trade situations to return some assets but lose Watson? 

Welcome to another chapter of this week's theme:Live Your Life Like a Video Game.On Mindset Monday, we talked about why you shouldn't try to start at Level 50. Real progress comes from starting where you are and earning experience points through consistent action.On Training Tuesday, we talked about gamifying your fitness—turning workouts, habits, and discipline into a game you actually want to play.Then on Wellness Wednesday, we talked about your body's dashboard—the key stats like sleep, recovery, heart rate, and stress that tell you how your system is performing.And today we're going to talk about something every character in every game needs in order to perform well:Fuel.Because just like in a video game, what you put into your system can either give you power-ups… or debuffs.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the Mount Rushmore of Colorado-born athletes and who the GOAT is. Darrin Chiaverini joins the show to discuss his time with Davis Webb at Texas Tech, what Webb will bring after his promotion to become the Broncos' offensive coordinator, and Coach Chiaverini's praise of Phil after coaching him at CU. Chiaverini shares his thoughts on Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter "skipping the line" to be honored at Colorado. Today's "Three Count" features our reaction to Chiaverini's comments on the Buffs, Jack Drury getting traded to Nashville to rejoin the Avs former GM Chris MacFarland, and the top 5 picks in the NBA Draft last night. We react to Dick Monfort charging $23 a head to watch World Cup games at McGregor Square. Is this move "fair or foul"? Is Monfort being greedy, or is this just capitalism?
