With this debut game, Deion Sanders forced everyone to believe in his program despite harsh criticism of his bold style. However, there were still some football fans who believed that it was too early to draw conclusions since it was just their first game and Deion Sanders’ son certainly did not like it.
Deion Sanders Jr. defends innovative program amid critics
Deion Sanders Jr. couldn’t contain his excitement after the Colorado Buffs pulled off a stunning upset against TCU. He took to Twitter to express his happiness in this remarkable victory. Sanders Jr. tweeted,
“Them HBCU/FCS boys look real good don’t they? That WORST ROSTER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL look real good don’t it?”

This certainly spoke volumes about his emotions, more so after the fact that the innovative program by his dad, Deion Sanders, was criticized ever since he was appointed head coach of Colorado Boulder.
However, not everyone shared the enthusiasm of Sanders Jr. A Twitter user cautioned him not to over-celebrate. The user tweeted, “Stay humble it’s only one game it’s a long season bro.”
In response, Deion Sanders Jr. didn’t mince his words and probably overplayed his hand a bit. Although, no one can blame him. The win surely means a lot to him and his family. He tweeted in reply, “F*ck all that… y’all gone feel this win.”

Ever since Deion Sanders revealed his plans to utilize the new college football rules in order to revamp his roster, the CFB world has criticized him a bit too much. Sanders Jr. surely noticed all the comments over the past year, as he tweeted, “Can somebody send me all the articles where they was talking shit about us for the past 9 months?”

They were certain that the innovative methods of Coach Prime would fail and only look good in theory. However, with such an emphatic win in the season opener, Deion Sanders certainly proved everyone wrong.
Coach Prime kept receipts on haters
Coach Prime couldn’t have imagined a better start to the season. The Boulders beat the 17th-ranked TCU. His son Shedeur Sanders put in a massive performance, and Travis Hunter, the guy he brought from Jackson State fired on all cylinders. Safe to say, it was a dream season opener for the Colorado HC.
In a post-game interview, Sanders was filled with emotion and gratitude. While he thanked everyone who supported him all the way, Sanders had quite the message for those who didn’t. He said to Fox Sports,
“Man, this is a blessing. Everybody, Buff Nation, who supported us, and all the hood that had my back. I thank y’all. God, this is good. We told you we was coming. You thought we were joking? Guess what, we keep the receipts”.

This was not just something he said in the heat of the moment. Ever since he landed the HC job at Colorado, Sanders was straightforward in terms of his vision and approach. Deion Sanders always believed in what he said, and the season opener against TCU proved just that. Look out for the Colorado Buffaloes, the team is already making its presence felt.
