Warren Sapp was out there living his best life. We are talking private jets, courtside seats at Taiwan pro basketball games, flexing diamond chains, and rocking whimsical tees like he just invented drip. His IG was popping’ off with wild selfies from Taipei, standing in front of the big old Taipei 101 like he owned the place. And yeah, the big man even got a little philosophical with it: “You feel Big until something in Life says no you’re Not!!” But see, just when you thought he was out there for good, Sapp drops the news he’s heading back to Boulder.
Warren Sapp’s legendary overseas trip was low-key cut short because Deion Sanders dialed him up. The gold jacket legend ain’t just chillin’ anymore—he’s leveling up. That man got promoted to Pass Rush Coordinator for the Colorado Buffaloes under Deion Sanders. It’s like Sanders is forming the Avengers of college football, and Sapp’s the Hulk ready to smash.
Sapp made it official on IG with a big smiley selfie from Taipei captioned, “Taipei it’s been So Real but Fatboy gotta Go!!” And of course, the HOFer couldn’t resist throwing in hashtags like #KissAndGo, #SappNotFishing, #DougAndFatboyAdventures and #BackToCampus. Oh, and he also gave a shout-out to homies by tagging everyone who were part of his journey, from LIV Golf to the Taipei Mars. Talk about dramatic exits. You could almost hear the plane engines firing up while he was typing that out.
That little hashtag, #SappNotFishing? Yeah, that was a message. Deion Sanders is famous for his love of fishing, but Sapp made it clear—he was doing his own thing. Maybe it was a playful jab, maybe it was just Sapp letting the world know he moves at his own pace. But now? No more vacation mode. It’s time to get back to business in Boulder. When Deion Sanders calls, you answer, period.
Warren Sapp reporting back to duty
Deion Sanders and his Colorado Buffaloes are gearing up for their third spring football game under “Coach Prime.” And best believe, this year’s about to be a movie. The annual Black and Gold spring game is locked in for April 19 at Folsom Field. It’s like the premiere night everyone’s waiting for, especially with Sapp back in the mix.
The spring practices officially kick off on March 11, and the Buffs will be literally grinding hard for two weeks before taking a mini-break from March 24 to 28. And while other big-name programs like Texas, USC, and Florida State are switching up their spring game plans or scrapping them altogether, Coach Prime and Colorado are sticking to the script. Why? Because the hype is real, and the fans are eating it up.
The roster? Oh, it’s a whole new beast. Colorado bagged 30 new recruits from the early signing period alone. We’re talking 13 from high school and 17 through the transfer portal. And headlining the whole shebang is five-star quarterback Julian Lewis, who’s about to throw down against Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter for that starting spot. The receivers are Quentin Gibson and Adrian Wilson. They’re about to be highlight reel regulars.
Coach Prime’s spring games have been straight-up blockbusters. The man drew 47,277 fans last year despite a freakin’ snowstorm. The year before? Around 28k folks pulled up in the worst weather imaginable. And now, with all the noise around Julian Lewis and the revamped squad, everyone’s expecting another sold-out spectacle. Sapp’s return to Boulder just adds fuel to the fire. ‘Cause let’s be real, if you got Warren Sapp hyped, you already know something serious is cooking’ in Colorado.
