While it wasn’t a concern last week as the Buffaloes were on the road at Nebraska, nor will it be an issue this week as Colorado is at Colorado State, there were some interesting reports about an alleged discussion between Deion Sanders and the Colorado marching band.
According to a report, Sanders told the school not to play the fight song after his son, Shedeur Sanders, scores a touchdown, but instead to allow his son’s song to play throughout the stadium.
However, On3’s Pete Nakos has reportedly confirmed that the report to be false.
While Shedeur’s song does indeed play after every touchdown he scores, there hasn’t been a discussion with the band concerning the fight song, according to a statement from a Colorado spokesperson.
“This is not true,” the statement reads. “Nobody ever asked the band to refrain from playing the fight song. After a touchdown, the band plays “Glory, Glory, Colorado” and after a point after touchdown, the band plays “Fight CU” as has been standard practice for years.
“When Shedeur Sanders scores, the band will wait a moment a moment for a small snippet of Shedeur’s song to play before immediately kicking into “Glory, Glory, Colorado.” This is exactly what happened during the game against North Dakota State. This practice is not unique to Shedeur, as the band will wait a moment after a successful field goal to play Alejandro Mata‘s song before playing “Fight CU.”
