The Colorado Buffaloes marching band is not allowed to play the school's fight song after Shedeur Sanders touchdowns, and it has Deion Sanders to thank.
Got nothing against rap, but if I were a Buff this would be enough for me to automatically call for Dieon's head. The pageantry of CFB is what sets it apart from the sterile Sunday games
God damn he's going to destroy that program isn't he? As soon as his son's out of there he's going to abandon them and they're going to be so much worse off than they were. He's leaving the cupboard completely bare and he's destroying any and all reputation they had.
It should've been obvious to everyone with how he left behind JSU (if not earlier). He spent a whole season claiming "the system doesn't care about HBCUs" and then just up and left a program he claimed he was gonna pull out of the system's clutches. And this "me first" attitude is unfortunately trickling down to an entire generation of athletes that train with his sons. One need look no further than Shedeur's post game last weekend for evidence of that.
If I were the band director, I'd play it anyway. He doesn't have authority over them. Why even have a marching band if they can't play the fight song?
If you want to make it all about your son, how about commissioning the band for some theme music they could play just for him or something. I wouldn't have nearly as much distrust and distaste for Sanders if he could just be integrate into a school's culture and traditions rather than parasitically replacing them with his own cult of personality.
Sounds like even Joel Klatt is souring on the Sanders experiment, so it might not be long until the whole fan base is calling for him to go (although I'm sure he's planning on leaving after this season anyway)
