Deion Sanders’ inspirational Colorado goal revealed

Deion Sanders has an inspirational goal for the kickoff of the 2023 Colorado football season: running out as Ralphie does with the Buffaloes before his first game coaching CU against TCU on September 2.

“I should be able to run out with the team at Fort Worth — that’s the goal, and we’re going to eclipse it,” Sanders said (h/t Fox News). “It’s going to happen. We have some wonderful doctors, man. Wonderful staff, wonderful trainers that are committed to getting me healthy as well as the players and the staff. I’m going to run out with the team in Fort Worth.”

Sanders has had multiple surgeries after having blood clots appear in his legs. This comes after having several toes amputated in March 2022. To see him overcome all of these challenges for a symbolic gesture would be enough to bring tears to the eyes of CU fans, FSU fans, Atlanta Falcons fans, Atlanta Hawks fans, Dallas Cowboys fans, Jackson State fans, and any other fanbases that ever claimed “Prime Time” as their own.

Deion Sanders is not worried about what conference Colorado football played in

Sanders chose Jackson State as his first college destination, proving that he isn’t concerned about the name on the conference marquee when it comes to his employment. So when it comes to what conference CU plays in?

Completely irrelevant.

“I don’t care nothing about no different teams moving,” Sanders said. “We’re trying to win, man. I don’t care what we play. I don’t care what conference, who we’re playing against. We’re trying to win.

“All this is about money, you know that. It’s about a bag. Everybody is chasing a bag. Then you get mad at the players when they chase it. How’s that? How do the grown-ups get mad at the players when they’re chasing it when the colleges are chasing it?”

Sanders is worried about bigger things, like his health and being there for his players in an extraordinary way, than the money made by television executives.
