Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is getting slammed on social media after questioning his players’ love for the game on the back of their shocking loss to Stanford this weekend.
The Buffs went into the matchup as the favorites, with the Cardinal taking the field at 1-4, also having lost seven straight games to Pac-12 opponents. They appeared to be headed for an eighth defeat at halftime as they ran off staring at a 29-point deficit. However, they managed to get themselves back into the game, eventually winning 46-43 in overtime.
As one would imagine, Coach Prime was not a happy man after watching his team surrender such a lead and would challenge them in his presser.
“They gotta make up in their mind are they in love with this game or in like with it?” he asked in front of reporters. “When you love something, you give to it unconditionally. You give everything you got to it. But when you like it, that’s just a button you push.
“It’s hard for me because I love this. Without a shadow of a doubt, I’m truly 100 percent in love with this thing. I just want people to match me. Match my passion, match my heart, match my love, match my consistency.”
Fans are of the view that the head coach should have taken some responsibility too.

Of course, this is just a short clip from an entire interview and shouldn’t, on its own, be taken to mean that the Buffs HC distanced himself from culpability.
