LAS VEGAS — Colorado football coach Deion Sanders walked onto the stage and confused reporters for parishioners.

“Good to see you. How are you all doing?” Sanders said from the Allegiant Field end zone stage. “I need more energy. This is horrible. If I was in church I would get up and walk out.”

Sanders wasn’t going anywhere, embracing his turn in the spotlight during the second day of the Big 12 media carwash. After shoutouts to UCF coach Gus Malzahn, who recruited Shedeur Sanders as a high school sophomore, and Texas Tech boss Joey McGuire, who coached Deion Sanders Jr. in high school, Sanders broke out stats to debunk criticism of his process.

BOULDER — When the bully across the road gives you a wedgie on national TV, the neighbors start to worry. Get beat by little brother? The neighbors start to talk.

“I would say (CU Buffs coach) Deion Sanders needs (Saturday) more,” CBS analyst and former NFL lineman Ross Tucker, who’s in the booth for Saturday’s Rocky Mountain Showdown at Fort Collins, told me by phone earlier this week. “The reason why I say that is when things started to go south (in 2023), they really went south.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Bring up Deion Sanders, and Rodney Lousberg can spot a jealous Nebraska fan from the Middle of Nowhere.

“Every (Cornhuskers fan) goes, ‘He’s egotistical,’” Lousberg said of the Buffs’ second-year football coach before CU kicked off against rival Nebraska on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. “I’m like, ‘Yeah. We knew that when we hired him.’

“That’s what their thing is. I think everybody wants to beat Deion Sanders. They want him so bad. I think that’s what made ’em mad the most is, we’re actually in the prime-time (slots) even though we’re not that good.”
