Deion Sanders, the former NFL star and current head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, is rocking in the 2024 college football season. He has been tackling both victories and criticism since August.
Off the field, Coach Prime’s eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., has been dealing with fans and doubters like a wizard. While the team has climbed to an impressive 7-2 record and ranks 18th in the latest AP Top 25 College Football Poll, the journey has come with a wave of online hate.
Deion Sanders Jr. Has a Way With Words
However, Bucky [as Deion Sanders Jr. is fondly called] showed his savvy social media skills once again, sending a strong message to critics with his blunt humor.
He posted on X, saying, “You gotta take your craft seriously. Yall over here hating from fake pages… that’s not true dedication to the game. If you gone hate, be for real with this hating sh**. Yall want to secretly hate & hate anonymously…. Naw, put true work into it. Be great!”

While Deion Jr.’s response set the record straight, his father, Coach Prime, and the Colorado Buffaloes are answering doubters with their solid performances. CU football celebrated another road win, a 41-27 victory over Texas Tech. This was their fourth straight road triumph and reinforced their place as serious contenders for the Big 12 Conference Championship.
The Buffaloes bounced back from a 13-0 early deficit with major performances from two-way sensation Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. Hunter recorded nine catches for 99 yards and a touchdown, while Shedeur threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns without a single interception. Both are touted to be top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Deion Sanders Jr. and Coach Prime Come Together To Troll Shedeur Sanders After His Latest Win
Deion Sanders Jr. had some fun with his brother Shedeur after Colorado’s latest win over Texas Tech. Following Shedeur’s standout performance, Deion Jr., who’s been the go-to guy for hyping up Colorado’s brand online, playfully trolled Shedeur with a light-hearted post.
After Shedeur led the Buffaloes to a 41-27 victory with an impressive 291 passing yards and three touchdowns, Deion Jr. took to TikTok to tease him, poking at Shedeur’s mid-game rituals with a funny background sound that could make anyone burst into laughter. The video was reshared by Deion Sanders via IG, writing,
“I KNOW this how @shedeursanders sounded when he scored – @deionsandersjr.”
The playful trolling added fun for fans already enjoying the Buffaloes’ winning vibe. Meanwhile, the Buffaloes are closing in on their goals for the season. Deion Jr. and Shedeur’s bond — along with a bit of brotherly banter — is keeping spirits high in Colorado’s journey to the top, with Coach Prime’s occasional-but-flavorful tempering on top.
