Here’s more info on Smitty: cubuffs.com/staff-directory/m...

[@dcbchannel1619]

Smitty is like Alfred to Coach Prime’s Batman. The Q to Prime’s James Bond. He’s the equipment manager butler that gets the fit just right, and makes sure the Buffmobile is stocked with the best cutting edge gadgets.

[@seanakima50515e]

Smitty is legit like that guy. Hell of an equipment manager

[@Lamont47]

I wish zay had another year, damm he’s so good but so overlooked, hope he balls out Wednesday .😤💯

[@Magi13-dn4hc]

Zay will be in the NFL 😊

[@lineill7392]

I miss Zesty Zay💋😂

[@MarvelousJP]

Steve Smith just did an analysis of Zay’s game film on his KZbin channel. I think having a guy like Steve Smith singing the praises of Zay will definitely help his draft stock

[@ofasanmi7511]

Zay will be running out on Sundays!!!

[@phyllisloforti3015]

Missing Zay......did he have another year option?????

[@nicholewhite1421]

Smithy has one of the most important jobs there is CU: making sure the equipment is on point. Kudos 👏🏾 to you, Smitty.

[@RandomC219]

"No matter what, throw it to Darius." 😂 Smitty

[@deltablue-cm8ib]

I'm glad to see this zoom in on Smitty, I have a different level of respect for him!!

[@MsAngel0812]

Smitty is a Great Equipment Manager!! His attention to detail mirrors Coach Prime’s.

[@karlitadawson651]

Nice to see Weaver and wish nothing but success!

[@omadjourney]

Smitty is the peanut butter to coach Prime's jelly no diddy, they both work well in making the guys look the best out there... best dressed team and second to none.

[@phyllisloforti3015]

100 per cent best dressed..........no question.

[@GAB2020]

someone please give this smitty a raise asap

[@thegirlsclub24]

Smitty takes "playing my position" to a completely different level. It's cool when we get a peak into his world. Thx Darius!

Smitty! A true engineer making dreams come true..😊

[@LESSON118]

Thank you Darius spending time with Smitty. Thank you Smitty for explaining what all takes place inside football helmets when their being worked on and explaining the layouts on the football uniforms. Could have listened to Smitty for hours. Its obvious how much he enjoys serving others. Thank you Smitty for your valuable time because, you didn't have to

[@DeeDee-ik9yg]

Let's Go Zay!! Prayers for a successful Pro Day! We're rooting for you!! Proper handing is definitely key. Like with everything else techy, you always have to be mindful of the the mishandling by the bad apples. Smitty is definitely The Man! His skill, ability and experience is priceless and definitely a benefit. Great video Darius!👏🏾 Love seeing the BTS operational mechanics. Very informative and educational.

[@rjm830]

Smitty is the man behind the buffs.

Go get some, Zay!

[@KrayolaDaBrand]

This is the behind the scenes footage that’s needed great work brother 🙏🏾

[@Thegenesis757]

Great content Darius! I’d be interested to see what they do to prep team for a game, especially away games. Stuff like loading the equip truck, setting up the locker room, and how they manage and assist players during practice.etc. The equipment staff are unsung heros of a program.

[@johnjean-baptiste7325]

Put Smitty on cam more man.

[@brucecoleman6917]

Thanks Darius, a different perspective and taking us behind the scenes.

[@WatchKeyNetwork]

Smitty the GOAT

[@marlenesorota3335]

Smitty is a very important key to the teams success. Should we call him “Coach Smitty”?

[@zkid676]

I have to say doing BTS like this and the podcast your killing it love all the behind the scenes content keep up the good work

[@estherbradley3218]

Another great video Darius. Love this type of content. 👏🏾

[@dnice4120]

🔥🔥 I don't even know Smitty at all but I fuck wit bro he official overtime 💯

[@vpm5910]

Enjoyed geeking out on the behind the scenes of different operations! How about the food prep and what it takes to feed a team and give them their flowers.

[@georgiafb7]

Great work Smitty! You’re the best! Love those uniforms and design. Thanks for highlighting him Darius.

[@msphat2939]

AWESOME JOB SMITTY!! #GOBUFFS ❤

[@deerobinson557]

Smitty is a star, this is one of my favorite video Darius that you have shown. Great job!

[@dmv_doll]

Wishing Zesty Zay good luck on Wed! Miss him ❤ My favorite uni combo was ASU w gold face mask. I liked Vet day player helmets and Coaches camo fits. Smitty need a raise before another team tries to steal em 👊🏽

[@eldridgehenry2]

GOOD JOD DARIUS. THE BEHIND THE SCENES INFO IS ALWAYS A JOY.

[@annettesamuels-davis6957]

I like Smitty even more, and he's handsome 🤩

[@SweetB54]

Awesome content Darius, you always ask all the right questions, but very knowledgeable about what you ask.

[@livingthervlocalifecarlosa3111]

Great show. Smitty is very talented.

[@annettesamuels-davis6957]

#10 Xavier Blessings to you and your big day🎉🎉 🤩

[@anncarver5262]

[@CocoHighlights]

This was an excellent and insightful vlog. I enjoyed every bit of it and to know Smitty is a major important part to the team.

[@kyoko703]

I've been waiting for this episode. Keep seeing him around but never got his full back story. Now we know but I'm also jealous!!! :D :D :D

[@BMMR05-Brandii]

Thank you Darius...for doing segment eith Smiity, he is so fantastic...and to actually hear the work makes him even better!!!👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽🖤💛👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽

[@CarliChattTN]

Great content, Darius!

[@mrgray301]

Let's GET IT!!

[@reginab998]

Zay you deserve it. You will make your dreams come true. Im on board the Zay draft day

[@Ron-vo1fx]

I didn't know smitty worked for Nike

[@terrylynch555]

Tell Smitty I have an idea for the Colorado uniforms. Put the Prime cleats pattern down leggz. Blk uniform w/white, white uniform with the gold,match gold Prime cleats with white pants with gold Prime print and vice versa black and white cleats.

[@kyoko703]

7:29 - in a few years, they will just move to a heads up display so they don't have to rely on "hearing" the calls but get the play fed directly to the helmet on the visor so it can eliminate the issue of not hearing the call correctly.

[@richardlafleur2511]

I saw an AT&T commercial where they used it on a deaf QB.

[@sondradavis5007]

WOW 😮

[@SedrickSed]

Would it be possible if we heard the story about how they came up with the Black Helmet & Gold Face Mask last season? that Helmet was absolutely incredible

[@machiavellisprince5986]

Mastermind Smitty... please find a way to allow CU to use the colors in the Colorado state flag. There's got to be a way to use those bright colors sometimes.

[@Stardust414]

We appreciate you Smitty 🙌🏼 Looking forward to seeing this season’s uniforms!! CU should provide better tech for Smitty to work with. They should give him a real office instead of a desk in the equipment room and a few large pc screens for design illustrator pro

[@Ninjabob42069]

Darius jokes about hijacking the helmet audio to play music….but what security is in place to make sure that the other team doesn’t hijack the signal?

[@donnabass5052]

Exactly….cyber security

[@reginaluster9121]

​@@donnabass5052🤔

[@armandguthrie4316]

RTp is vastly different from wOm, they both have great content. Love how Darius spend time with the players we don’t see on well Off. great offsetting content 💯 #HowdoYouknowDarius

[@tyralewis7029]

[@craftingretired]

What team has its own illustrator that use to work at Nike 😂 Nobody

[@NuRealm2020]

Colorado lol

[@antoinechambersconsulting4645]

Great vid

[@HeismanHopeful]

Seems that player should be able to remotely adjust volume thru wrist band. Player may need to concentrate, may need a minute on lower volume. Just asking.

[@SHOTBYPAT_]

need a uniform reveal video when that time comes

[@Xtremeproducts]

Same volume = muscle memory

[@Didewro]

LoL They gone steal the radio signals like the Texas Rangers. lol

[@Nessamose]

Awesome

[@doindado4328]

nah great spotlight of someone people wouldnt pay attention to or even understand how he always contributing.
