Colorado releases statement on Deion Sanders reportedly telling band to play Shedeur's song instead of fight song

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has reportedly told the school’s band not to play the fight song after his son, Shedeur Sanders, scores a touchdown. Instead he reportedly told them to play his son’s song after scoring a touchdown.

However, that may not be true, On3’s Pete Nakos has confirmed. While Shedeur’s song does play after every touchdown he scores, a Colorado spokesperson has cleared the air on the matter:

“This is not true,” the statement reads. “Nobody ever asked the band to refrain from playing the fight song. After a touchdown, the band plays “Glory, Glory, Colorado” and after a point after touchdown, the band plays “Fight CU” as has been standard practice for years.

“When Shedeur Sanders scores, the band will wait a moment a moment for a small snippet of Shedeur’s song to play before immediately kicking into “Glory, Glory, Colorado.” This is exactly what happened during the game against North Dakota State. This practice is not unique to Shedeur, as the band will wait a moment after a successful field goal to play Alejandro Mata‘s song before playing “Fight CU.”

Deion Sanders shares injury update on son, Colorado DB Shilo Sanders

Deion Sanders shared an update on his son Shilo Sanders following the defensive back’s injury in Colorado’s loss to Nebraska Saturday.

Deion Sanders initially feared his son had a broken forearm. While the head coach didn’t reveal a timetable for a recovery or return, he tweeted out a positive update on Shilo.

“God is Good!,” Sanders wrote. “Can’t wait to see u back ready to go. Love ya son!”

Deion Sanders said during the game that it could perhaps be a fracture, but said after that he’s unsure the exact nature.

“I think Hardge did something with his foot on one of the punts. Shilo, I think suffered a — I don’t know the extent of the injury but I know he did something to his forearm that put him out for the rest of the game. Chidoze, I think it’s an AC joint or something like that. I think he’s going to be alright, I think he’s going to consequently play this upcoming week. I don’t know about Shilo,” Deion Sanders said.

“And Shedeur got dinged a bit on that, what’d they call it, intentional, helmet-to-helmet, targeting. He got dinged a little bit. So we just wanted to take care of him and get him out of there.”
