Rick George (Colorado’s athletic director) has to be smiling from ear to ear right now.

When the University of Colorado Boulder hired Deion Sanders as their head football coach, they had two goals in mind: 1. To win championships, obviously (but we’ll have to wait for the verdict on that), and 2. To generate a massive amount of excitement for the program and re-establish their relevance in the world of college football.

The Buffaloes have succeeded with flying colors with the latter plan, and it’s showing in their revenue stream.

Colorado has sold nearly 25,000 tickets for their very first spring game under Coach Prime, according to BuffZone’s Brian Howell. Students have claimed roughly 6,000 free tickets, which brings us to over 30,000 total ticket reservations.

The spring game will be played April 22, meaning the Buffaloes are already close to their total attendance with two months to still remaining. Another mind-blowing figure: From 2015-22, a total of 30,450 fans attended Colorado’s spring game over seven years — the Buffaloes are on track to eclipse that number in 2023 alone. And to make it even more crazy, all of the 30,450 tickets were given away for free, while 2023 tickets were for sale at $10 a pop. It’s the first time the Buffs have sold game tickets since 1980.

Just (bleeping) wild … and all of this equates to a 10 billion percent increase in ticket sales.

In other ticket sale news with Colorado, they’ve set a 20-year high with the renewal of season tickets at 97%, and they’ve also sold 3,000 new season tickets, according to BuffZone. Additionally, 22% of spring game ticket sales were new customers. (RELATED: ‘This Is My Goal’: Tom Brady’s ‘New Girlfriend’ Veronika Rajek Dreaming Of Being In Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
