Added Insult: Deion Sanders, Colorado Look Awful In Oregon Video
There wasn’t a coach and program who received more publicity — positive or negative — than Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes throughout the first few weeks of the college football season.
Now, the bloom is off the rose.
The Buffaloes were embarrassed Saturday afternoon, dropping their first game of the season to the Oregon Ducks. It was a straight-up butt whooping, with Colorado suffering a 42-6 defeat where they entered halftime down by five touchdowns.
That much would be embarrassing on its own, but is bag-over-head levels of embarrassing when you consider what was being said prior to the game.
The Oregon football program released a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, that highlighted the sights and sounds of their matchup with Colorado. Notably included were shots of Shiloh Sanders, son of head coach Deion Sanders and star safety for the Buffaloes, throwing verbal jabs in the direction of the Ducks.
“I’ll beat the (expletive) out of every one of y’all and your coach,” Shiloh Sanders is seen saying. “We finna run through y’all’s (expletive)… Why y’all so little?”
The video paints the Buffaloes in a poor light, especially because they’d go on to eventually get thumped.
The result was a mildly-surprising one, as Colorado routinely played above expectation throughout the early portion of the season and had turned plenty of people into believers. Now, they turn back to square one and attempt to build up some of that belief that had followed them throughout the early portion of the season.
Can they do that? It remains to be seen. The only thing for certain is that Shiloh is going to drop in Deion’s kid rankings.
