[@matthewungar2138]

Came here for Prime, but was absolutely engrossed with Mark’s story. Awesome interview, Matt

[@RealMatSmith]

Glad you enjoyed! Even if you have an unnecessary T in your name 😉

[@matthewungar2138]

@ sorry, I shouldn’t have forced the extra T on you. My apologies.

This is the best description of the Prime era .Incrediable insight of the past and the present . Outstanding interview from a 2 year ( Prime ) Buff fan.

[@RealMatSmith]

Much appreciated 🙏

[@patrickwilliams3927]

Matt and Mark this was absolutely awesome to hear from you. I can sit hear for hours and just hear you guys talk. Matt I loved what you said Dillon Gabriel is part of the system but Shedeur is the SYSTEM

[@RealMatSmith]

Thanks so much Patrick! 💯💯

[@NkataM]

Watching interview from Johannesburg, South Africa and I am enjoying these insights and reflections from Matt and Mark. I did not watch CFB until Coach Prime and I have been elated. Keep up the good work, mates. We are watching you guys 🫡

[@RealMatSmith]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed 🤙

[@SPhan48]

Touchdown! Touchdown, Colorado! -Mark Johnson voice Great interview and conversation! Thanks, Mat! I’ve been following the Buffs since the late 1990s, and I always looked forward to hearing Mark and Zimm and now Coach Barnett on Saturdays.

[@RealMatSmith]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@travisweston9754]

This entire conversation was just the best and so insightful, looking forward to listening more often going forward

[@RealMatSmith]

Wow!! What a great watch/ listen. You encapsulated this entire ride perfectly! I believe! Sko buffs!!

[@RealMatSmith]

Thanks so much Alan! Appreciate your time 🙏

[@TOBEINTHELIFE]

Mat! You are my favorite reporter covering cu football. You always look genuinely happy for every one on the team. You’re consistently smiling when the players speak and you’re always nodding your head in understanding when Coach Prime is speaking. Continued success!

[@RealMatSmith]

Aren’t you observant? 😅 thanks for the kinds words you have a good read on it 🙏

[@Davon85J]

What a fantastic interview Mat! The passion you and Mark have for the university shines through. Now I’m manifesting you to do a 1 on 1 interview with Coach Prime himself in the off season 😂

[@RealMatSmith]

😂 Appreciate that Davon! 🙏

[@Tee-PayneGolf]

Excellent. Thanks for sharing. Such a great listen. And a true inside look. Been a fan of Coach since the 80’s. Special person. Really enjoyed the last couple yrs at CU, especially this year ! Happy for you guys and appreciate your work. Keep grinding.

[@RealMatSmith]

This was absolutely awesome!!!!! Hopefully your Prime interview goes like this… long form

[@RealMatSmith]

Thanks for listening. Glad you enjoyed! 😂 that was when I had a radio show, I don’t any longer, highly doubt he’s coming on my channel 😅 it was a nice gesture

[@BigRoy77]

Great Show Mat & Mark, really enjoyed this one 👍🏼

[@RealMatSmith]

Thanks so much Roy!! I appreciate your time 🙏

[@Nickg2k1]

Had to comment after watching.... Absolutely gold and so many clips that people need to hear. Well done sir , well done 👌

[@RealMatSmith]

Appreciate that 👊👊

[@andrewm2304]

It’s criminal that it has taken so long for you to give us this interview with Mark. Mat, you’re a journalist first and sports analyst second. The ease with which this interview flowed is remarkable and I am going to listen to it again because it’s the best summation of the past 2 years. The chemistry between you guys is off the charts. Hands down your best episode ever & I’ve listened to everything since CP arrived. Oh, thanks for posting the vlogs. They are hilarious

[@RealMatSmith]

I really appreciate the support. Thanks for following along 🤙

[@lisalane3650]

What a great podcast! I could listen to you and Mark talk about the Buffs for hours! You both have such wonderful perspectives of this greatness we’re witnessing with Coach Prime and his team. I also really enjoyed the historical information you imparted on what we’re experiencing!

[@RealMatSmith]

Thanks Lisa! 🫶

[@RealMatSmith]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy.

[@KimKobe24]

Great interview! I finally understand what CU fans have been through. Shedeur and Travis both are. him for sure..I have never had to not have them together so it will be tough.

[@RealMatSmith]

Thanks so much for watching! 🙏

Great interview!

[@leeboywonder7076]

Matt great vid man I really like them all. But bro allowed your co-host/guest to speak and breath 😂

[@whatsupsnapper]

Man that was some bad times when Minnesota got ahold of us, people said CU was stat padding blah blah blah, no one gave a crap that Utah, Oregon, SC, Washington was putting up 50,60 and 70 on us…. Let’s Go Buffs

[@RealMatSmith]

It was U-G-L-Y

[@whatsupsnapper]

@ they didn’t have a alibi 😂

[@ff18Buffs]

We have always been Run first, so Shedeur is the best we have ever had as a Passing QB, and he deserves his due, but the 2016 team gained 2,000 more yards than the 2024. We must get back to balanced attack in order to dominate beyond passing. Juju's team will be more talented on the OL, and everywhere else, and if he does what we been watching him do, then it will be really fun

[@ff18Buffs]

Mat, have you been approached to do Play by Play or Game Announcing, because you would be very very good at that?

[@dimitridorvilier3429]

Hi I was wondering if you’ve uploaded your videos as a podcast on Spotify. If so, could you let me know the podcast name? I’d love to check it out!

[@RealMatSmith]

No just on YT for now. Thanks for the inquiry.

[@timothywest1183]

How many years did I sit in Allbuffs and 247 Buff Stampede looking at kids signed here and say ‘That’s not a D1 player. That’s maybe not a G5 player either. Not anG5 backup’. It was bad. My hope had been crushed. I wouldn’t watch games. I would record them and only watch if we won. I didn’t watch a lot of games for a lot of years.

[@timothywest1183]

I’d say a few could have done what Coach Prime did. Nick Saban. Kirby Smart. But they wouldn’t chance their rep to even try.

[@AnthonyKnuckles-iz9uk]

We said that because we saw him do it before so why he wouldn't do it there he knew what he was doing and we did to yal just had a losing mind set hell

[@gobucs7870]

To me there is one reason why we are disappointed CU isn't 11-1 and his name is Deion Sanders.

[@fatdad4122]

Cu wouldn’t win 2 games without Prime and his Louie luggage and the standard he set, you must be a prime hater

[@robertmckinnon1231]

You had already accomplished 11-1 before he came to CU, right?! Oh, my bad 1 and 11 with a 0 and nothing record while you were the coach. Just keep being a fan and enjoy the show!!!😂

[@Nickg2k1]

Yea let me get comfortable for this one 🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬

[@RealMatSmith]

It’s a MUST for all Buffs fans 🔥

[@Nickg2k1]

@RealMatSmith my fingers are crossed for you to replace Coach Barnett when he's done 👍

[@RealMatSmith]

@@Nickg2k1 that would be great. I’m not thinking that’s the route they’d go. Now, when it comes time, 15-20yrs down the road, when MJ wants to pass the torch, I would be there with bells on.

[@HBCOU]

Colorado fans are already spoiled

[@lastoneleft100]

Great show.ler me really understand long time cu fans mindset 🦬

[@RealMatSmith]

👊🙏
