Deion Sanders guided Colorado to its finest season since 2016 and assisted versatile star Travis Hunter in securing a Heisman Trophy, but the campaign concluded unsatisfactorily in Saturday’s Alamo Bowl.
The Buffaloes were dominated by a fierce BYU squad, trailing 20-0 at halftime and struggling to put up much resistance in the second half, leading to a 36-14 defeat. While BYU dominates the Buffaloes for a large portion of the game, numerous fans voiced their irritation that the ESPN broadcast team appeared to concentrate more on Colorado coach Deion Sanders and quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
Numerous individuals turned to social media to express their dissatisfaction, particularly after the broadcast opted to interview Deion Sanders right before halftime instead of BYU’s head coach. “One fan commented on X, saying, ‘These announcers obviously favor Colorado.'” “They’ve spoken with Deion about 50 times already, and I doubt they’ve even had a conversation with the BYU coach.” It’s appalling how ESPN reports on games these days.
Some believed that the ESPN coverage was genuinely alienating fans from Deion Sanders and his program at Colorado. “There is no doubt about Deion Sanders’ influence on the Colorado football program, transforming a one-win team and securing nine victories in his second season,” a fan commented on X.
“However, the constant promotion by ESPN provides many individuals a chance for schadenfreude while they witness this defeat to BYU.” “This is the reason why deion and @espn and @abc are disliked,” another fan posted on X. “Their team is being outplayed and the coverage is concentrating on Colorado.”
“Not the other squad that struggled last year and is currently dominating Colorado’s [expletive].” Even with the defeat, Deion Sanders has significantly improved the Colorado program that was in disarray before he came and transformed the team’s standout players — Shedeur Sanders and Hunter — into anticipated Top 5 NFL draft selections.
