“Proud mom”: Coach Prime’s ex-wife Pilar Sanders hypes up sons Shedeur and Shilo ahead of Week 9 showdown

Pilar Sanders has become one of the hardcore supporters of the Colorado Buffaloes (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) in the 2024 season. Coach Prime's ex-wife has been a frequent presence at Folsom Field, celebrating and supporting her sons - Shedeur and Shilo Sanders.

The 50-year-old uploaded two different posts on Instagram hyping up Shedeur and Shilo. For Shedeur, she captioned the post:

"🖤💛"

Then, coming to the Colorado safety - Shilo, her post was captioned:

"💛💛💛💛💛 @shilosanders #proudmom"

Deion Sanders' Buffs are set to host the Cincinnati Bearcats (5-2, 3-1) in Week 9. They'll be looking to strengthen their standing in the Big 12, eyeing the postseason and the conference championship.

Coach Prime has his quarterback son - Shedeur, and two-way phenom - Travis Hunter, to thank for their improved performance this year after finishing the 2023 season 4-8.

Pilar Sanders comes to Shilo Sanders' rescue

Pilar Sanders wastes no time coming to rescue both her sons from their on-field or off-field incidents. Deion Sanders’ second wife has been the sons' biggest supporter. Following Colorado’s recent 34-7 victory over Arizona, another fan accused Shilo of targeting Arizona's quarterback Noah Fifita during a tackle. Pilar wasn't having it, simply advising the critic to “get a football manual.”

In a week that saw the Buffs bounce back strong, Pilar’s support added to the celebration as her boy redeemed himself after a tough outing in Week 7. She added a reel on Instagram hyping up Shilo’s tackle on Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita.

"Just in case you missed some of the highlights…. GO @shilosanders 🎉🎉🎉👏🏽👏🏽"

Coming to her off-field support earlier this year, Shedeur and his brother Shilo made their high-fashion debut at the 2024 Louis Vuitton show. When fans flocked to the comments sections critiquing Shilo’s change in hairstyle, Pilar quickly shut it down, stating,

"Learn how your hair is an extension of your nervous system - plz don't advise in areas u know nothing of."

Her unapologetic response showed her dedication to backing her sons in their personal and athletic lives.
