It’s a “Prime Time” for quotes with CU Buffs football coach Deion Sanders. Below is a sampling of things Neon Deion has said since being hired at Colorado:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still searching for an identity,\u201d Coach Prime said after his squad dropped a second-straight game to a top-10 foe.<\/p>\n

But in using the ground game to set up the pass, a twist on previous CU offensive scripts, the Buffs might have found one. CU vs. USC game story…<\/p>\n

CU Buffs have long way to go to match Oregon, USC up front. And Deion Sanders knows it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think that was a good old fashioned butt-kicking,\u201d Sanders, the Buffs\u2019 first-year coach, said after suffering his first loss at CU and largest margin of defeat ever as a college coach. \u201cNo excuses. No nothing. Their coaches did a heck of a job preparing their team. Obviously, we didn\u2019t. I mean, that was a really good, old-fashioned butt=kicking.\u201d Read more…<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t lie,\u201d Coach Prime said. \u201c(It doesn\u2019t just) translate on the field. It translates in practice \u2026 I don\u2019t say stuff just to say it, for clicks, contrary to what some may say, and yeah I keep my receipts. But I am serious, I analyze and I understand what we\u2019re up against (and) what we have and what we need.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing that I could say, honestly and candidly (is), you better get me right now. This is the worst we gonna be.\u201d<\/p>\n

CU Buffs coach Deion Sanders condemns death threats toward CSU Rams\u2019 Henry Blackburn<\/strong><\/p>\n

BOULDER — Coach Prime had a firm and direct message to fans and social-media posters who’ve thrown death threats at CSU Rams safety Travis Blackburn: Stop.<\/p>\n

“Whatever it was (in the game), it does not constitute that he should be receiving death threats,” Buffs football coach Deion Sanders said at his weekly news conference. “He does not deserve a death threat over a game. At the end of the day, this is a game.” Read more…<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not new to this, I\u2019m TRUE 2 THIS! And the Blenders Eyewear family and myself certainly see eye 2 eye on our commitment to QUALITY and STYLE,\u201d said Sanders in a statement. \u201cSee, eyewear is much larger than just fashion. It\u2019s an outlet to EXPRESS YOURSELF, it\u2019s a CONVERSATION STARTER, it sets the DARN TONE! Look good, feel good, PLAY GOOD!\u201d<\/p>\n

News about the release comes as the University of Colorado and Colorado State University football teams are set to face off on the field Saturday in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. And their rivalry was the stuff of national news this week. Read more…<\/p>\n

They here: Deion Sanders\u2019 CU Buffs football ranked No. 22 in AP poll, 25 in coaches\u2019 poll<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThese young men, they know now, man, if we ball out, we\u2019re going to get the love that we deserve,\u201d Sanders said at his midday news conference Tuesday. \u201cAnd that\u2019s all they want. They want the attention and love they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keeler: We believe, Coach Prime. Beat Nebraska, the rest of the world will believe in CU Buffs, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 After working over the Horned Frogs like Joe Louis, Coach Prime worked the scribes like Muhammad Ali.<\/p>\n

Deion Sanders, 1-0, leaned into the microphone, his best friend for decades, and read the receipts he\u2019d been keeping for months. Loud and proud.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou said this. You said that,\u201d Sanders chuckled after his Buffs stunned No. 17 TCU, and the free world,\u00a0with a 45-42 win\u00a0at Amon G. Carter Stadium. \u201cNow what? Everybody\u2019s quiet now. Now what? Now what?\u201d<\/p>\n

Another face. Another receipt. Read more…<\/p>\n

Kiszla: Don\u2019t expect CU\u2019s Deion Sanders to shed tear at Pac-12\u2019s funeral. \u201cEverybody\u2019s chasing a bag,\u201d Coach Prime says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAll this about money, you know that. It\u2019s about a bag,\u201d Sanders said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody\u2019s chasing a bag. And then you get mad at the players when they chase it. How is that? How is it grown-ups get mad at the players when the colleges are chasing it?\u201d<\/p>\n

While Sanders is comfortable in the knowledge that his Buffs stayed one step ahead of the storm that blew through the Pac-12 and left it for rubble, there\u2019s no doubt in my mind that the beginning of the end of the league was when CU joined it a dozen years ago, when the revolutionary notion of monster conferences was in its infancy.

\u201cYo, first time meeting me, and I just finished telling you, \u2018I\u2019m bringing my Louis (Vuitton).\u2019 I go into this one room, music is playing. I said, \u2018Excuse me. What is this?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201c(They said), \u2018Uh, coach, we always bring the boom box into our position meeting room.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Have you lost your mind? If you ever bring music into one of my meetings, I promise you, we will never see each other again in life.\u2019\u201d Read more…<\/p>\n
