Colorado fanalyst giddy about Phillies stars wearing Coach Prime shirts
Colorado football analyst Ryan Koenigsberg of ALLCITY Network was all in on the Philadelphia Phillies after Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos rocked shirts depicting Coach Prime heading into Game 3 of their NLDS series against the Atlanta Braves at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philly.

“Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos repping Coach Prime and the Buffs ahead of Game 3 with the Braves today,” Koenigsberg prefaced before saying, “I guess we’re rolling with the Phillies now.”
With Shedeur Sanders’s wristwatch celebration in front of the ASU bench going viral — with Las Vegas Raiders wideout Davante Adams and Oklahoma City Thunder big man Chet Holmgren both hitting the “Shedeur” in the week following the Buffs’ Week 6 win –, the Colorado football program’s Instagram gaining nearly 940,000 Instagram followers since the dawn of the Deion Sanders era, and now Coach Prime being a symbol of being ready for a “Prime Time” spotlight, it’s clear CU has never been a more important institution in its history.
Analyst on Colorado football: ‘No team has ever been this big nationally’
Koenigsberg laid out an extreme superlative about the 2023 Buffs, saying, “no team has even been this big nationally,” in response to a Twitter responder.
“Has a Colorado team *ever* been this big nationally?” one user asked, prompting the out-on-a-limb response from Koenigsberg.
“I’m being totally serious when I say I’m not sure any team has ever been this big nationally,” Koenigsberg said.
It’s hard to argue with that sentiment considering Colorado football has comparable TV ratings to NFL teams when it’s not relegated to the Pac-12 Network; otherwise known as one of the hallmarks of the conference’s failed run in the College Football Playoff era. Coach Prime has helped his son’s evaluation reach NFL rookie salary-type earnings and has also boosted Travis Hunter’s earnings in a big way as well — with both being in the top four earners nationally alongside Texas’s Arch Manning and USC’s Caleb Williams.
There’s a lot of proof proving Koenigsberg’s thesis correct.
