Instead of discussing Colorado’s recent loss to Nebraska, Deion Sanders used his weekly news conference to address a different topic: the school’s fight song.
Sanders started by tackling a report from local radio station 104.3 The Fan, which claimed he asked the school band not to play the fight song after his son, Shedeur Sanders, scored, so that his son’s theme music could be played instead.
“That’s ridiculous,” Sanders said about the report. “Check the facts before spreading false stories.”
The university also denied the claim, explaining that the fight songs, “Glory, Glory, Colorado” and “Fight CU,” have been played after scores for years and were played as usual during the season opener against North Dakota State.
The stadium played other music briefly before the band played the fight songs.
Sanders mentioned that such reports are common for him, but he is concerned when they involve others, like the band. He urged people to be more responsible with their reporting and avoid making things personal.
He added that he could make things personal but chooses not to, as it’s not right. “We were raised to love thy neighbor as much as we can,” he said.
