Deion Sanders got his team hyped up for their first game of the 2023 college football season on Saturday, inspiring them with a locker-room speech that likely left them ready to run through a wall for him.
That wall turned out to be TCU, whom the Colorado Buffaloes beat 45-42 on the day, hushing the doubters as Coach Prime proved he can mix in wherever he goes.
The pregame speech he prepped them with surfaced online on Sunday morning and you might feel like running through a wall yourself after you hear it.
“This has nothing to do with the team that’s opposing us,” Sanders declared. “This is about us. This ain’t got nothing to do with the naysayers, the unbelievers, the haters, the doubters. This is about us.”
“When we started this journey, we told you it was gon’ be trying, it was gon’ be tough, but you endured. Because it’s about us,” he went on.
“That man next to you is a miracle. That man next to you is a believer. That man next to you is a go getter. That man next to you is a dog. That man next to you somebody who want this thing. That man next to you is somebody who believes. That man next to you gots to have it today!”
“We ain’t got tomorrow. We got now. We ain’t got next. We got now. We ain’t coming no more.”
“We here!” was the effusive response from the players, who would go out to secure a big win for the program.
