Deion Sanders shuts down false report about Colorado Band’s fight song
Recent reports suggested that Sanders told the Colorado marching band not to play the fight song after his son Shedeur scores a touchdown, claims that have since been denied.

Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, has addressed a controversial report that surfaced over the weekend, which alleged that he had instructed the university’s marching band not to play the traditional fight song after his son, Shedeur Sanders, scored a touchdown. The report, written by Jake Shapiro of Denver Sports, quickly gained attention after Colorado’s loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
According to Shapiro’s report, Sanders supposedly told the band to refrain from playing the fight song after a touchdown to allow the stadium’s loudspeaker to play a snippet of Shedeur’s personal track, “Perfect Timing.” The article claimed that the song, recorded by Shedeur, would take priority over the long-standing tradition of the band playing “Glory, Glory, Colorado.”
In response, the University of Colorado swiftly denied the claims. A spokesperson clarified, “This is not true. Nobody ever asked the band to refrain from playing the fight song.” They further explained that the band follows the same procedure after every touchdown, waiting for a brief moment before playing “Glory, Glory, Colorado.” The university insisted that the band’s actions during the game against North Dakota State followed the usual protocol.
Deion Sanders responds
After the report went viral, Deion Sanders initially offered a subtle response through a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), simply stating, “God bless u.” Later, he took a more direct approach via an Instagram story, where he addressed the false claims head-on. Without engaging deeply, Sanders made it clear that the report was not grounded in truth, allowing his fans and the public to focus on the upcoming games.
Despite a rocky 1-1 start to the season, with a victory over North Dakota State followed by a tough loss to Nebraska, Sanders is focused on turning things around. While the team has shown potential under his leadership, overcoming familiar challenges remains key.
As Sanders and the Buffaloes prepare for their next game against Colorado State, the coach has put this band-related controversy behind him, shifting focus to the team’s future. The game is set for September 14 at 8:30 p.m. ET, where Sanders hopes to steer his team back to victory.
