DEION SANDERS has sent a clear message to President Obama after the Colorado Buffaloes beat the Arizona Wildcats.
The Buffaloes ran out 34-7 victors against the Wildcats on Saturday in Tuscon.
Buffaloes’ coach Sanders noticed that the former president had suggested Sanders’ side might lose while Obama was on the campaign trail with Vice President Kamala Harris in Arizona.
Obama said: “As we landed, we saw Colorado’s busses at the airport.
“And I know Colorado’s got a couple of good players.
“But I also know you guys have beaten them twice in a row, so don’t bet against the Wildcats.”
Of course, Obama was proven wrong as the Buffaloes claimed a big victory.
Sanders jokingly hit out at the former commander-in-chief and insisted that his side is better than it was given credit for.
He said: “President Obama is everything to me.
“I mean, I love him, I admire him. I respect him tremendously.
“But I heard what he said, you know?”
“President, I heard what you said, man.
“Like c’mon, c’mon. That’s why I really don’t get into politics.
“I’m into people.
“Because politicians play the political game, and he was here and had to play the political games they have two good players.
“We got more than two good players. But then you’re here (in Tucson), so you have to support that.”
