Addressing the media, Sanders acknowledged the disappointment and apologized on behalf of himself, the coaching staff, and the sports department. He highlighted the team’s proximity to success while acknowledging a struggle to grasp the art of winning. The apology, captured on video, is circulating widely on social media.
“Just had a wonderful conversation with the team as well as seniors, who will never get to play here again. I apologize just on behalf of myself, the staff, the sports staff that we didn’t send them out right like we wanted to because they deserve it. I apologize to the fanbase. They’ve been supporting the heck out of us, and they’ve been showing up. Another sellout crowd. [Inaudible] disappointment. We’re so close is what I told the team, and yet, so far. We just simply, truly don’t know how to win yet,” Sanders told the media.
Despite a promising start with victories over TCU and Nebraska, the Buffaloes have encountered challenges in recent times. The question remains whether Deion Sanders and the team can stage a comeback in the remaining two weeks of the season.
Regardless, the season can be deemed a success in terms of attention, considering the significant spotlight on Sanders and the Buffaloes, even amid their current struggles.
