Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes are mixing business with pleasure in San Antonio ahead of their Alamo Bowl clash against the BYU Cougars. While most folks were ripping open presents, Deion Sanders took his squad to SeaWorld for some pre-game fun and recreation.
However, a seemingly innocent moment turned hilarious when the Colorado coach made a questionable comment, prompting a swift reaction from his son, Deion Sanders Jr.
The moment came during a stroll through SeaWorld when, out of nowhere, he pointed to his left and said, "we came from the back..." That’s when Sanders Jr., aka Bucky, jumped in, shouting:
"Woah, woah, woah... The camera's on."
Bucky hilariously called out his dad, adding:
"We got the camera on man. 'Man coming from the back,' damn. Chill. Family friendly episode." (02:53)
The Buffs, ranked No. 23, will be stepping on the gridiron on Saturday against the No. 17 BYU. Before that, Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and QB Shedeur Sanders tried their luck at some basketball games at SeaWorld but got schooled by their coach.
Deion Sanders Jr. hasn't received a Christmas gift since Coach Prime's divorce
Growing up in the Sanders household wasn't always a winter wonderland, especially after Coach Prime's split from his second wife, Pilar, in 2013. Sanders Jr. revealed how Christmas changed after the divorce on his "2Legendary" podcast:
“We didn’t even get the gifts wrapped up. Mom and Dad split up, and it was no more gifts wrapped up from Dad. It was straight brown boxes or whatever, just straight up. It came in the mail from Amazon.”
Deion Jr. further explained that Coach Prime never bought into the Santa Claus myth anyway.
“He wasn’t about to let anyone take credit for his hard work. We don’t even know him (Santa). So it was like, why would I let him take the credit? I did this my whole life every day. I’m the one getting y’all the gifts. Y’all need to be thankful for these gifts. Yeah, so I never believed in Santa,” Sanders Jr. said. (31:20)
Bucky also pointed out that Coach Prime learned from his first marriage with Carolyne Chambers and applied those lessons to his second marriage with Pilar.
