After shocking No. 17 TCU on the road on Saturday, new Colorado head coach Deion Sanders had a very direct message for everyone who had doubts of the “Coach Prime” era for the Buffaloes.
Speaking with Fox Sports after the 45-42 victory, Sanders was asked about what his message was for the Colorado fans about what they should expect this season after such a monumental win for the program.
Sanders kept his response short and sweet.
“We told you we coming. We told you we coming. You thought we was joking. And guess what? We keep receipts?” Sanders said to everyone who felt that Sanders’ tenure at Colorado wouldn’t hit the ground running right away.

This show of confidence has to get Colorado fans excited as the Buffaloes outperformed expectations in Sanders’ first game on the sideline.
Monster performances from wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders boosted Colorado’s winning effort, one that could have a snowball effect if the team can keep this momentum going.
