It’s not often that you can surprise Coach Prime, but when The Rock came on stage at College GameDay in Boulder, Colorado, Deion Sanders had to do a double-take.

ESPN’s College GameDay is in Boulder, Colorado today for the big in-state game between the Colorado Buffalos and Colorado State Rams. It only seemed natural to have an interview with Coach Prime during the show.

Sanders’ Buffaloes are the talk of the college football world right now, and everything seems to be orbiting around Coach Prime, as media fans (and apparently opposing coaches) hang on to his every word.

As the interview with Sanders was going on, we witnessed an early appearance of this week’s celebrity guest-picker, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and Coach Prime’s reaction was absolutely priceless.

It’s not often you get Coach Prime to give up the spotlight to someone else, but in the case of The Rock, Sanders was quick to pay homage to “The Great One”.

“Do you know who this man is?” Sanders questioned the rest of the cast (as if they didn’t know). It was clear Sanders’ euphoria was hard to contain.
