A lot of athletes around sports, not just football, have become invested in this Colorado football team. An inspiring group that takes pride in proving people wrong, the Buffaloes have bought into Deion Sanders' coaching style, and truly believe they can beat anybody.
This was a fun interaction between Morant and Sanders, as the Grizzlies point guard was quoting his favorite rapper NBA YoungBoy. That connection is another one that has been fun to follow, as the entire Grizzlies team regularly bumps YoungBoy before games and during practices.
Colorado football is currently 2-0, with wins over Nebraska and TCU to begin their season. Not expected to beat TCU, Colorado opened their season with an impressive statement win that they hope sets the tone for the rest of their season. Following that up with a win over Nebraska, Colorado is off to a great start.
