Avast ye scurvy dogs! Deion Sanders, captain of the Colorado Buffaloes, be cursin' these late game starts in the college football season! Aye, as me crew be ready to face Stanford on a Friday night, the coach be complainin' like an old sea dog!
In a surprising turn of events, Deion Sanders has led the Colorado Buffaloes to a 4-2 record, surpassing expectations in his first season as head coach. However, Sanders has one complaint as his team prepares to face Stanford: the late start time of the game. Sanders expressed his frustration with 8:00 p.m. MT kickoff, calling it the "dumbest thing ever" and questioning whether anyone on the East Coast would even care about the game. He wondered how they would occupy their time until the evening and was met with the response of "watching football," which seemed to amuse him.Sanders also commented on the late start times of Pac-12 games, mentioning that USC and Arizona played at 10:30 p.m. ET last Saturday, making it difficult for East Coast viewers. He expressed relief that Colorado will be joining the Big 12 in 2024, where late start times will no longer be an issue.
Despite the challenging schedule, Sanders and the Buffaloes made waves in the college football world with a strong start. After winning their first three games, they faced a setback against Oregon and a close loss to USC. They bounced back with a win against Arizona State in Week 6. Now, they look to continue their success against a struggling Stanford team that has yet to win a game in the Pac-12.
