It’s a “Prime Time” for quotes with CU Buffs football coach Deion Sanders. Below is a sampling of things Neon Deion has said since being hired at Colorado:
“We’re still searching for an identity,” Coach Prime said after his squad dropped a second-straight game to a top-10 foe.
But in using the ground game to set up the pass, a twist on previous CU offensive scripts, the Buffs might have found one. CU vs. USC game story…
CU Buffs have long way to go to match Oregon, USC up front. And Deion Sanders knows it.
“I think that was a good old fashioned butt-kicking,” Sanders, the Buffs’ first-year coach, said after suffering his first loss at CU and largest margin of defeat ever as a college coach. “No excuses. No nothing. Their coaches did a heck of a job preparing their team. Obviously, we didn’t. I mean, that was a really good, old-fashioned butt=kicking.” Read more…
CU Buffs have long way to go to match Oregon, USC up front. And Deion Sanders knows it.
“I wouldn’t lie,” Coach Prime said. “(It doesn’t just) translate on the field. It translates in practice … I don’t say stuff just to say it, for clicks, contrary to what some may say, and yeah I keep my receipts. But I am serious, I analyze and I understand what we’re up against (and) what we have and what we need.
“One thing that I could say, honestly and candidly (is), you better get me right now. This is the worst we gonna be.”
CU Buffs coach Deion Sanders condemns death threats toward CSU Rams’ Henry Blackburn
BOULDER — Coach Prime had a firm and direct message to fans and social-media posters who’ve thrown death threats at CSU Rams safety Travis Blackburn: Stop.
“Whatever it was (in the game), it does not constitute that he should be receiving death threats,” Buffs football coach Deion Sanders said at his weekly news conference. “He does not deserve a death threat over a game. At the end of the day, this is a game.” Read more…
“I’m not new to this, I’m TRUE 2 THIS! And the Blenders Eyewear family and myself certainly see eye 2 eye on our commitment to QUALITY and STYLE,” said Sanders in a statement. “See, eyewear is much larger than just fashion. It’s an outlet to EXPRESS YOURSELF, it’s a CONVERSATION STARTER, it sets the DARN TONE! Look good, feel good, PLAY GOOD!”
News about the release comes as the University of Colorado and Colorado State University football teams are set to face off on the field Saturday in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. And their rivalry was the stuff of national news this week. Read more…
They here: Deion Sanders’ CU Buffs football ranked No. 22 in AP poll, 25 in coaches’ poll
“These young men, they know now, man, if we ball out, we’re going to get the love that we deserve,” Sanders said at his midday news conference Tuesday. “And that’s all they want. They want the attention and love they deserve.”
Keeler: We believe, Coach Prime. Beat Nebraska, the rest of the world will believe in CU Buffs, too.
FORT WORTH, Texas — After working over the Horned Frogs like Joe Louis, Coach Prime worked the scribes like Muhammad Ali.
Deion Sanders, 1-0, leaned into the microphone, his best friend for decades, and read the receipts he’d been keeping for months. Loud and proud.
“You said this. You said that,” Sanders chuckled after his Buffs stunned No. 17 TCU, and the free world, with a 45-42 win at Amon G. Carter Stadium. “Now what? Everybody’s quiet now. Now what? Now what?”
Another face. Another receipt. Read more…
Kiszla: Don’t expect CU’s Deion Sanders to shed tear at Pac-12’s funeral. “Everybody’s chasing a bag,” Coach Prime says.
“All this about money, you know that. It’s about a bag,” Sanders said.
“Everybody’s chasing a bag. And then you get mad at the players when they chase it. How is that? How is it grown-ups get mad at the players when the colleges are chasing it?”
While Sanders is comfortable in the knowledge that his Buffs stayed one step ahead of the storm that blew through the Pac-12 and left it for rubble, there’s no doubt in my mind that the beginning of the end of the league was when CU joined it a dozen years ago, when the revolutionary notion of monster conferences was in its infancy.

“I walked into this one room and they had music playing,” Sanders recalled to Klatt in the debut episode of Klatt’s “Big Noon Conversations” series.
“Yo, first time meeting me, and I just finished telling you, ‘I’m bringing my Louis (Vuitton).’ I go into this one room, music is playing. I said, ‘Excuse me. What is this?’
“(They said), ‘Uh, coach, we always bring the boom box into our position meeting room.’
“I said, ‘Have you lost your mind? If you ever bring music into one of my meetings, I promise you, we will never see each other again in life.’” Read more…
Doctors tell CU football coach Deion Sanders he may need foot amputated: “I know what the risks are, I only have eight toes.”
Deion Sanders may have to have his left foot amputated, according to University of Colorado doctors.
The doctors delivered the news to Sanders in a meeting uploaded onto the Colorado head football coach’s YouTube channel Thee Pregame Show earlier this week.
Amputation is a possibility due to blood flow issues in Sanders’ foot, according to his medical team. He has struggled with blood flow in his left foot and previously had two toes amputated in 2021. He also referenced not having feeling on the bottom of his foot and is aware of the risks involved.
“I know what the risks are, I only have eight toes,” Sanders said to his medical team. “So I am pretty sure I understand.” Read more…
Sanders loves living in Colorado
