To you, Colorado and Deion Sanders might be synonymous with college football. But that isn’t necessarily the reality for the former No. 1 man of the United States, President Barack Obama. No, you didn’t land in a political opinion piece by chance. It’s just that ‘No drama, Obama,’ purposefully or accidentally chimed in one of the biggest week 8 rivalries brewing in the college football realm, and it’s a straightway side-taking.

Barack Obama, 60, seems to be a wholehearted Arizona fan. Ahead of the Wildcats’ face-off against Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffs in another huge Big 12 clash, the political prodigy of the nation showed zero hesitation to side with the former. While attending a campaign for VP Kamala Harris in Tucson, Arizona, the veteran politician noted, ‘It’s good to be back in Tucson, and I appreciate y’all coming out the day before homecoming,” Obama said. “As we landed, we saw Colorado’s busses at the airport, and I know you know Colorado’s got a couple good players, but I also know you guys beaten them twice a row, so don’t bet against the Wildcats tomorrow.”

It might just be a lighthearted dig or a die-hard fan dishing out his emotion. We never know, but the former POTUS is wholeheartedly with the Wildcats.

However, if Travis Hunter comes back and chooses to bring another banger to the table, Obama’s dream is likely to remain a dream.

Will Travis Hunter step up against the Wildcats? 

Travis Hunter, the beating heart of the Buffs’ offense, was forced to be out with an acute shoulder injury during a disappointing matchup against Kansas State last week. Ever since, fans have started to question his availability for the remainder of the season as it will predominantly decide Colorado’s fate.

Finally, after some wait with bated hearts, coach Prime dropped something positive about the marquee two-way star in a pre-game press conference. The phenom is expected to be in his uniform this Saturday against the Wildcats. While there’s still no final word on Travis Hunter’s status for the game, it might just be Sanders’ way of keeping it close to his chest as a predictive surprise for fans.

If he comes back, the Arizona stadium will witness a classic Arizona’s star wide receiver, Tetairoa McMillan, vs the incredibly gifted cornerback and wide receiver, Travis Hunter, as the duo had a well-documented history of reaping each other off on the field.

The clock is ticking, and the wait is getting over. Are you ready to see the stellar showdown that garnered attention even from the former president of the country? Let us know in the comments.
