Deion Sanders reacts to report about Shedeur Sanders and Colorado's fight song

Colorado came with receipts.

A school spokesman denied a recent report that Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders asked the school band not to play the university's fight song so that they could instead play his son and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders' song “Perfect Timing.”

“That is not true. No one has ever asked the band not to play the fight song,” the school said in the statement, according to ESPN. “After a touchdown, the band will play 'Glory, Glory Colorado' and one point after the touchdown, the band will play 'Fight CU' as has been the custom for years.”

“When Shedeur Sanders scores a goal, the band waits a moment until a short snippet of Shedeur's song is played and then immediately starts playing 'Glory, Glory Colorado.'

“That is exactly what happened during the game against North Dakota State,” the statement said, referring to Colorado's 31-26 win over the Bison in the season opener.

Sanders isn't the only player who gets his own celebration music.

Colorado kicker Alejandro Mata's song will be played after a field goal is made and before the band begins playing the fight song, the school added.

The coach called the report from Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan “idiotic” in a press conference on Tuesday.

“Let's start with the main thing: Whoever reported that I told the band not to play the fight song is an idiot. You all know that,” Sanders told reporters as soon as he sat down. “Do your research before you start spreading false narratives.”

The coach also called on reporters to take responsibility so that the matter does not become personal.

“Many times in life we ​​believe the first thing we hear when we shouldn't believe it,” Sanders said. “I just want to challenge you to be more responsible in your reporting. I never meant to get personal.”

“So when it gets personal, you really have to think about it. You have to understand – I have a huge platform. I could get really personal if I wanted to, but I choose not to because that's not right. Some things in life are just not right. We were raised to love our neighbor as much as we can.”

This came after Nebraska played the quarterback's song in celebration of its 28-10 win over Colorado on September 7.

Sanders was sacked five times and threw a pick-six in the first quarter.

He finished the game with 23 of 38 attempts, 244 yards and one touchdown.

The Buffaloes will face Colorado State away on Saturday.
