Deion Sanders’ sons almost came to blows with a Texas ball boy who tried to retrieve the ball during a heated confrontation after a last-minute touchdown

Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders’ sons nearly got into a physical altercation with someone on the opposing team during a recent Colorado Buffaloes college football game.

Coach Prime led the then No. 1 ranked Buffaloes to a 41-21 victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders on November 9 in Lubbock, Texas.

But over the weekend, footage of an on-field incident involving Colorado players Shilo Sanders and Shedeur Sanders, in addition to their older brother, made headlines.

After Shilo, 24, scored a 6-yard touchdown on a fourth-quarter recovery, Texas Tech’s equipment manager tried to take the ball away from him.

Shedeur, 22, immediately walked up to the ballboy and said, “Damn, n***a. Shut up. You are a whore. Then their 30-year-old brother, Deion “Bucky” Sanders Jr., shoved the man while holding a camera and he yelled, “Move, bitch, n***a. You fucked me up!” before leaving with the Buffaloes.

The tense interaction ended when Shedeur pulled Bucky away from the situation. After Colorado’s victory, a video of the heated confrontation went viral.

In particular, a TikTok user slammed Texas Tech’s ball boy for “knocking” the ball out of Shilo’s hand. The @cheddatagoat71 account suggests that Colorado’s 7-2 record has angered Coach Prime haters.

“This ball boy knew exactly what he was doing and got exactly what he was looking for,” Chedda said in his TikTok video. “You mean to tell me that you could have about a thousand balls on this game, but you especially need this ball after that try.

He also said, “Let me let you know what the problem is. They are upset that Prime, Shedeur (Colorado defenseman Travis Hunter), Shilo and the entire Colorado program are perfect as they’re.

One of the comments on Cheddy’s video read: “It’s funny when Prime and Colorado lose or something goes wrong with this team that everyone trolls this team, calls them unprofessional, but when they win everyone gets upset.”

Another person defending Texas Tech wrote: “He is the equipment manager for the team. He has to collect the ball. It’s his job. Even in the event that they wanted to keep him, he has to memorize the number on the ball and provides it to the equipment guy in Colorado.

In response, someone argued: “I met with the equipment managers. It will be done this fashion and any experienced EM knows to be patient and collect money properly without conflict. He achieved results that any EM would achieve in such a situation.

Additionally, a TikTok user referenced the ball boy race, commenting: “(White) people always foul (-) and try to look surprised when they suffer the consequences!!! It was definitely a FAAFO moment!!”

The Sanders brothers’ confrontation with Texas Tech’s equipment manager wasn’t the only moment of fighting on this game.

Texas Tech fans apparently they threw various objects on the field, including tortillas, which became a school tradition.

However, people at Jones AT&T Stadium also reportedly threw water bottles. Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire had to step up to the microphone to address the crowd.

“Stop throwing things on the pitch! Students, stop throwing things on the field! Please!” McGuire pleaded over the loudspeakers midway through the fourth quarter.

Coach Prime discussed the unruly actions of Red Raiders fanatics while speaking to the media at the post-game press conference.

“In my career, they threw everything at me except my mom,” recalled the Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Major League Baseball player. “I played baseball and football, so I used batteries and stuff. “It’s normal.”

He continued: “Thank God (the tortillas are) soft and never hard. But once they start throwing water bottles and other objects, you must alarm the officials and say, “Okay, tortillas are one thing and water bottles are another.” This is getting a little crazy. But I’m grateful, I feel Joey grabbed the mic.”

Shedeur didn’t appear to hold any grudge against the Texas Tech students for confronting the ballboy or throwing the water bottle. The 2021 Jerry Rice Award winner was seen taking photos with other members of the Texas Tech marching band after the game.
