"If you ain't on the team, you ain't on the team n*gga": $170M worth rapper Lil Wayne hypes up crowd during Colorado Spring game after-party

Rapper Lil Wayne electrified the post-game atmosphere of the Colorado Buffaloes' 2024 Black and Gold Spring Football game on April 27. His performance was a highlight of the multi-day event, which also featured the Arrow Electronics Black and Gold Spring Football game.

$170 million Lil Wayne (via Celebrity Net Worth) hyped the crowd:

"If you ain't on the team, you ain't on the team then nig*a. This is for everybody who ain't on the team. If you know these words, say this shit."

The event was part of a multi-day celebration that included the Arrow Electronics Black and Gold Spring Football game. Wayne has been an active supporter of the Colorado football program, having made multiple appearances last year, including leading the squad onto the field and performing pregame at the Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado State.

Despite their struggles, the Buffaloes showed improvement, going 4-8 in Sanders' first year, an upgrade from their dismal 1-11 season in 2022. Notable victories over TCU and Nebraska spurred hope, although they last reached a bowl game in 2020.

The scoring system for the spring game featured six points for touchdowns, two points for 20-yard plays, and additional points for extended drives. On defense, takeaways, sacks, pass breakups and forcing three-and-out possessions earned points.

The Buffaloes' upcoming season includes pivotal matchups against teams like Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Arizona. They aim for bowl eligibility, needing at least two more wins in 2024.

Their journey begins on August 29 against North Dakota State, followed by a conference clash with Nebraska.

Cornerback Cormani McClain's departure: Cormani's shade on "Coach Prime" and Colorado program

Cormani McClain, a highly touted cornerback, announced his departure from the Colorado Buffaloes. Through his YouTube video titled "Next Step," he expressed his desire to join a program that prioritizes player development and emphasized the need for genuine growth beyond mere publicity.

"I feel like I just don't want to play for clicks," McClain said. "I actually want to be involved with a great leading program that's going to develop players."

McClain's departure compounds the transfer challenges faced by Deion Sanders' Buffaloes, as 12 players entered the portal between November and March, with an additional 14 since the spring window opened. This follows a significant influx of new players, including transfers, in Sanders' inaugural season.

Losing McClain, a former five-star recruit and top cornerback prospect, further impacts a team striving to recover from a disappointing 2023 season, where they stumbled to a 1-8 finish in the Pac-12 after a promising 3-0 start.
