The Colorado Buffaloes are coming off the best and most exciting victory in Deion Sanders’ era, but the program is being blasted this week for its actions.
Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes have had an interesting week with the weather, which continued on Friday.
Fans are crushing Colorado’s social media team after the Buffs appeared to make light of the Hurricane Helene situation.
Colorado is headed to Florida to play UCF this weekend, and naturally, the team’s social media account decided to create an edit showing a player in waist-deep water, which was incredibly disrespectful given the devastation that Hurricane Helene left behind after making landfall on Thursday.
The team would soon delete the post.
Colorado is the most talked-about program in the country right now, and thanks to the “Prime Effect,” it is garnering attention from people who don’t even watch college football.

Unfortunately, being in the news means everything is being watched, and fans have blasted the Colorado Buffaloes over this situation.
Helene is the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the United States this year.
Heavy rain and tornadoes triggered major disruptions in the region, and parts of the Gulf Coast remained underwater, and at least 40 people lost their lives as a result of this hurricane.
Once again, this is incredibly insensitive for the Colorado Buffaloes to do, but it shouldn’t be an indictment on the entire program since the social media area is run by others who have nothing to do with Deion and his team.
Colorado Buffaloes Have Provided Ammo To The UCF Knights
On Friday, Colorado football received backlash after its official X account decided to post and delete a picture showing safety Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig standing in water up to his waist.
The program deleted the post because it was getting blasted for the team playing the UCF Knights. Many people across the southeastern United States are facing issues due to Hurricane Helene.
The Buffaloes will likely see the disaster the Category 4 hurricane left while in town.
Now, they have an undefeated team that has an extra chip on their shoulder as the matchup gets closer.
