If we know anything about Deion Sanders, it’s the Colorado coach keeps receipts. Whether local (or national) reporters, fans, broadcasters or other naysayers, coach Prime knows what was said, and he has no problem letting you know about it.
Even the former president of the United States isn’t off limits.
After Colorado’s 34-7 thrashing of the Arizona Wildcats on the road in Week 8, Sanders took to the podium to call out Barack Obama for a comment he made recently describing the Buffs as a team that only has two good players.
“President Obama is everything to me. I love him, I admire him, I respect him tremendously,” Sanders opened with, before continuing. “But, I heard what he said. President, I heard what you said man. … They got two good players? We got more than two good players. He did his homework, but president … come on man.”
Prime smiled through his comments, which is much easier to do after his team scored on the first drive of the game and never let up. Colorado’s defense held the Wildcats to a first-quarter touchdown and coasted to an easy victory to move to 5-2 (3-1 Big 12).
The Buffs host Cincinnati at home in Week 9, part of a favorable remaining schedule that includes road games at Texas Tech and Kansas and home battles against Utah and Oklahoma State.
