Deion Sandersis bringing the tough to Colorado.
“I seen two of you walking off, over there, and you’ve got a key teammate fighting,” Sanders yelled. “Where they do that at? Where they do that at?”
He continued, “If one fights, we all fight. You understand that? I don’t want to see you all walking off when somebody’s fighting. Never again!”
For Sanders, preparing his team for Pac-12 play is top of mind as the season quickly approaches.

“We got a few positions already taken care of because I’m bringing my luggage with me,” Sandersaddresseda room full of players last December. “It ain’t gonna be no more of a mess that these wonderful fans, the student body and some of your parents have put up with for probably two decades now.”
Further, he told CU boosters, alumni and leaders at the time that it is his “dream” to bring the team “back to where you know you should belong.”
“And now that I’ve gotten here and I see it, and I understand it … and I can grasp it and I can touch and I can feel it and I can taste it, I truly understand what you want,” he continued. All you want is an opportunity to win, to compete, to dominate, to be amongst the elite, to be amongst the best. And darn it, I’m going to give you that.”
“We’re going to be good. We’re really going to be good,” he added.
