After shocking No. 17 TCU on the road on Saturday, new Colorado head coach Deion Sanders had a very direct message for everyone who had doubts of the “Coach Prime” era for the Buffaloes.
Speaking with Fox Sports after the 45-42 victory, Sanders was asked about what his message was for the Colorado fans about what they should expect this season after such a monumental win for the program.
Sanders kept his response short and sweet.
“We told you we coming. We told you we coming. You thought we was joking. And guess what? We keep receipts?” Sanders said to everyone who felt that Sanders’ tenure at Colorado wouldn’t hit the ground running right away.

In his Colorado debut, Coach Prime and the Buffaloes
— Beat the No. 17 school in the nation on the road
— Matched the total win total for the 2022 season

This show of confidence has to get Colorado fans excited as the Buffaloes outperformed expectations in Sanders’ first game on the sideline.
Monster performances from wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders boosted Colorado’s winning effort, one that could have a snowball effect if the team can keep this momentum going.
CFB fans were so impressed with Colorado's win.

According to my research, @DeionSanders becomes the first coach in NCAA history to win his first game after taking over a 1-win program while also being a first-ballot @ProFootballHOF, a career .533 hitter in the World Series and a former host Saturday Night Live.

They said it would be a disaster. They said this is just a publicity show & what worked in HBCUs wouldn’t work here.
Colorado was 1-11 last year. Then Prime @DeionSanders arrived. He told folks they are coming, 1-0.

It cannot be overstated what Deion Sanders did today.
To turn the whole Colorado program around from what it was last season to today beating a team that played in the National Championship last season…
It’s one thing to talk about it.
It’s another to actually do it.Wow.

Deion Sanders inherited a 1-11 team, and beat the only Big 12 team ever to win at the CFP in his very first game.

CU’s team speed instantly jumps out. The Buffs broke a ton of tackles, got everyone involved, stretched TCU vertically/horizontally & Shedeur was so accurate. https://t.co/cB8MefijUt
