It is hard to say what that means and what that is,”  said Sanders, before revealing that he seeks something more profound than national television exposure and new revenue overflowing CU’s coffers.“Really, I am thinking about the social impact. I am seeing more African Americans than I have never seen before, sprinkling through the stands, stadium, restaurants and everything. And I love it.”The real magic of the 2-0 start of Coach Prime is how the shiny gold chain around his neck and the bodacious Turnover Throne on his CU sideline have shook the old-school culture of snow-white Boulder, built on Birkenstocks...
