Following their remarkable win against the Cincinnati Bearcats, the Buffs are enjoying their bye week. Now that the burden is off their shoulders, it looks like Buffs head coach eldest son Deion Sanders Jr. finally has some time to observe other teams’ gameplay. However, his recent revelation of siding with Colorado’s rival team is not something that was expected.

Today, after Texas Tech’s neck-to-neck win of 23-22 against Iowa State, Deion Sanders Jr. took to X to share his excitement over their win, saying, “Turn Up Texas Tech!” It looks like Texas Tech’s performance against Iowa quite intrigued Sanders Jr., after which he finally has some other favorite team apart from the Colorado Buffs in the ongoing season. Now that Sanders Jr. is finally doing something that is not Coach Prime-influenced, it’s coming off quite weird.

In fact, next week, the Colorado Buffaloes take on Texas Tech in a crucial Big 12 matchup. Both teams are hot, each boasting 6 wins, and it’s a big game for both programs. And ahead of that, Deion Sanders Jr. supporting his opponents is something very surprising. Now, not only will this game decide Colorado’s fate in the game, but it will also mark new beginnings for them.

Moreover, adding fuel to the fire, Sanders Jr., extending his support, also shared a story of Texas Tech ruling over Iowa State on his Instagram. It looks like there is a solid connection between the two things. Deion Jr. backing up his rival team is not his type.

Deion Sanders Jr.’s reason to support Texas Tech

If you think Deion Sanders Jr.’s reason behind supporting the Texas Tech team is a mere coincidence, then you are wrong. The Red Raiders’ head coach Joey McGuire and Sanders Jr. go way back in time, as he used to coach Deion Sanders’ oldest son at Cedar Hill High School. Which explains a lot about his fondness for McGuire and his team. Even McGuire has shown his love and admiration towards Coach Prime and his team after they entered Big 12.

“I’d like to welcome Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and my good friend Deion Sanders to the Big 12 and Colorado Buffaloes. Known Deion for a long time. Excited that he’s in the conference,” Joey McGuire said, showing his excitement for the Buffs. Now you can understand the type of bond they share. McGuire also spoke about how Deion Sanders is the best parent of a player he ever coached.

It looks like Bucky had all the reasons to support his beloved coach, Joey McGuire, and knowing how much he adores them is also very satisfying. For now, let Texas Tech enjoy their victory, and let’s see how the Buffs make their comeback after a relaxing bye week!
