Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are one of the most talked-about teams in college football. That’s something that didn’t always align with their win-loss record last year, either.
Sanders is back for Year 2 in Boulder this season, and he certainly has a hater in ESPN college football commentator Paul Finebaum.
Speaking at SEC Media Days on Monday, Finebaum torched the Buffaloes program as nothing/
“I know that the media loves this story and we fall all over ourselves but Colorado isn’t important in college football,” Finebaum said Monday. “Deion Sanders is. He’s a standalone person. He’s one of the most charismatic coaches (we have), but Colorado is nothing. They don’t matter. They’re irrelevant in the big picture of college football.”
ESPN college football commentator Robert Griffin III, who won a Heisman Trophy with the Baylor Bears, did his part to defend the Buffaloes from the attack.
Sanders wasted little time in responding to the slights against his program.
“God is good my brother & they mad mad! I sense a bit of anger & hostility. Lolololololol God bless @RGIII for always keeping it [100 emoji],” Coach Prime wrote on Twitter, the social media platform currently marketed as X.
The Buffaloes start their 2024 campaign on August 29th against North Dakota State.
