Deion Sanders accuses Obama of 'playing political games' by picking Arizona to beat Colorado

‘The Sage Steele Show’ host Sage Steele reacts to Democrats' messaging to Black male voters as polls show more trending toward Trump and says Trump has a better track record compared to Kamala Harris.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders says he likes Barack Obama, but he had to call the former president out this week. 

Obama picked the Arizona Wildcats to beat Sanders' Buffaloes in a game Saturday.

During a speech in Tucson, Arizona, Friday, Obama claimed he even saw the Colorado buses when his plane landed and reminded the crowd of the Wildcats' two-game winning streak against the Buffaloes dating back to 2022. 

"I know Colorado got a couple good players, but I also know you guys have beaten them twice in a row," Obama said. "Don't bet against the Wildcats tomorrow."

Last year, Arizona beat Colorado 34-31 during Sanders’ first season with the program. In 2022, the Wildcats defeated the Buffaloes 43-20, prompting Colorado to fire coach Karl Dorrell after the team’s 0-5 start to the season.

This year, Sanders and his team proved the former president very wrong. 

Colorado blew out Arizona 34-7 to improve to 5-2 on the season. After the game, Sanders called out Obama to the press, suggesting he only picked Arizona because he was in the state campaigning earlier this week.
