ORT WORTH, Texas — Before even entering the media conference room, the voice of Deion Sanders boomed from the hallway inside the bowels of TCU’s football stadium.
Deion arrived with receipts, he said. All of them. Receipts for miles. He keeps them all, and he's got 'em all. He won't forget 'em, either.
Not literal receipts, of course. Coach Prime isn’t carrying around those thin, white slips that cashiers distribute. The receipts he carries are from the doubters.
And, whoa boy, before his Colorado Buffaloes marched into Fort Worth and stunned No. 17 TCU 45-42, there were doubters. Lots of them.
“I keep receipts,” he snapped after the win Saturday.
He saw what you wrote, he snarled at one writer before moving on to the next question. Oh, he said to another, you want to ask him about his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and his record-breaking 510 yards passing?
“Shedeur Sanders? From the HBCU?” he interrupted, glaring from beneath his white hat, a gold chain slung around his white hoodie. “The one that played at Jackson last year? The one that you asked me why I’d give him the starting job? Wasn’t that you?”.......
And then, triggered by a question, Sanders brought into the discussion race, a topic most shy away from. Not him.
“We’re going to continuously be questioned because we do things that have never been done,” he said. “That makes people uncomfortable, when you see a competent Black man sitting up and talking his talk and walking the walk. There’s 75% of African-Americans in that locker room. That's kinda threatening.

Nope, he will turn Colorado into a power school.....No need to move on.
Do not know about the camps, the son is probably more a “chip off the old block”
Yep. Looking for a very entertaining season.
Can’t wait to have USC & UCLA in The Big Ten. Some excellent Rose Bowl matchups.
Bo and Woody are rolling over in their graves.
With their Bowl records it stands to reason.😉
Ouch
😉
I remember back when I was a big-time Wolverines fan, how happy I was for Michigan to finally make a bowl game, as it used to be only one Big Ten team could go to a bowl, and that was always Ohio State, until 1976, when Michigan played Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. What a frustrating game that was.
Lions v KC tonight. Should be very interesting.
