BOULDER — Football questions only today, kids. Since Deion Sanders doesn’t want mine, I chucked one at Dave Baldwin instead.“I don’t think they’ll feel it’s their Super Bowl,” Baldwin, the former San Jose State coach, CSU and UNC offensive coordinator, said of North Dakota State, which visits CU on Thursday night to kick off the 2024 slate at Folsom Field.“I really believe, in their hearts and minds, they feel they belong there and they can beat them.”Lovely. Any advice for Coach Prime when it comes to rustling a herd of upset-minded Bison on the Front Range?“It’s not going to be,…

CASTLE ROCK — After a strenuous round of golf on the longest course in PGA Tour history, Nuggets president Josh Kroenke cooled off with a round of questions about Denver’s arduous offseason.It’s been perceived that way by a majority of voices and pens outside Ball Arena, anyway. The Nuggets have been widely declared one of the losers of the NBA summer, owing to a combination of polarizing strategy, internationally staged inefficiency and plain awful luck.Internally, that’s not how the front office views it. They’re aware of the dice they’ve cast, of course, most prominently in the avoidable sacrifice of Kentavious…

Nikola Jokic isn’t just the best hoops player on the planet when it comes to dishing out dimes.The Big Honey might be the best when it comes to dishing out bling, too.Despite our crack staff being in the writing biz, Team Grading The Week believes actions speak louder than all the words on this page.And GTW is firmly in the camp of backing up your brags.Is anybody — certainly not anybody in the basketball sphere — conquering both fronts better than the Joker is, right here and now?The NBA’s three-time MVP didn’t just help carry the Serbian hoops squad to…

BOULDER — The Buffs’ second home opener under Coach Prime isn’t a prime-time sellout. Yet.“A few tickets (are) still remaining for North Dakota State,” CU football coach Deion Sanders announced at the start of his news conference Saturday. “(We’re) going to sell it out. So, what (are) they waiting on? Let’s go.”The Buffs open their 2024 campaign on Thursday night at 6 against the Bison, nine-time Football Championship Subdivision national champs, in a matchup televised nationally by ESPN.CU sold out its entire 2023 home football slate after a 3-0 start.That undefeated run included wins over Nebraska and Colorado State at…

By DAVID KOENIGNASA’s announcement Saturday that it won’t use a troubled Boeing capsule to return two stranded astronauts to Earth is a yet another setback for the struggling company, although the financial damage is likely to be less than the reputational harm.Once a symbol of American engineering and technological prowess, Boeing has seen its reputation battered since two 737 Max airliners crashed in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people. The safety of its products came under renewed scrutiny after a panel blew out of a Max during a flight this January.And now NASA has decided that it is safer to…

Redaptive, which works to make large companies’ facilities more energy-efficient, is growing and needed more office space. The company, which is committed to staying in Denver, is moving into the eighth floor of McGregor Square in Lower Downtown.“I think it was important for us to double down on our commitment to Denver. Everyone’s looking for greener pastures,” said Redaptive CEO Arvin Vohra. “But the fundamental reality of Denver is that we’re a sustainability-forward city, and we’re a place that has a phenomenal talent base. It makes sense for us to continue to stick to that.”Redaptive is bucking a trend of…
