Colorado absorbed a brutal 41-7 blowout loss to Northwestern on Saturday night, but it wasn’t just the score that had coach Deion Sanders seeing red. He was absolutely furious after the game, and for good reason: some of his players were actually laughing. Yeah, you read that right.
“Joy in a Loss?” Sanders Can’t Believe It
The Buffaloes got absolutely stomped, and yet, there were players finding humor in the situation. Sanders pulled no punches when talking to reporters. “You know, you did see a couple guys that I just got on, because I don’t understand how much , how you can have joy in a loss, especially when I’m upset,” he stated. Imagine your coach, who lives and breathes winning, walking behind you after a crushing defeat, and you’re cracking jokes? “And I’m walking right behind you. I don’t understand that. I can’t never understand that,” Sanders continued. He made it clear he expects to win “every darn thing,” and this kind of post-loss attitude just doesn’t compute.
Prime Promises to “Put My Foot In It”
Sanders described his locker room expectation as “not behaving like they were in a ‘f***ing library.’” That’s a pretty strong visual of his frustration. He promised he “addressed it. And I’m gonna put my foot in it, not on it.” With a 2-1 record before this latest outcome, Colorado needs to get their act together fast because their Big 12 schedule kicks off next week. Will Sanders’ harsh words be the wake-up call these players clearly need? The upcoming schedule will certainly test if his message got through.
