December 29 was an emotional day for the Sanders family as brothers Shedeur and Shilo played their final game for the Colorado Buffaloes. The Boulder community has shown immense love and support for the Sanders family, who have represented the Buffs with pride. Throughout the game, head coach Deion Sanders was visibly emotional, but the picture is incomplete without Deion Sanders Jr.

How can Bucky stay behind? Deion Sanders Jr. also shared a touching farewell tribute to his brothers. In his tribute, he posted a series of photos and memories that captured their journey together. He shared moments with Shedeur, Shilo, Deion, and Hunter on the sidelines, with the caption “Started good, I’m dying great.” This ‘Well Off Media’ man has always been a key figure for the Buffs, ensuring their online presence is top-notch. And guess what? The outpouring of love from the Buffs prodigies for this post was overwhelming too!

Coach Prime’s dual threat, Travis Hunter, who also played his last game for the Buffs, took to his Instagram story to share his support, writing, “You the goats bro!” Well, even Hunter is leaving, which makes this farewell even harder for Deion Jr. to bear. We are sure Hunter is and will remain his favorite player.

Jimmy Horn Jr., one of Coach Prime’s youngest talents, also expressed his feelings on social media, saying, “Ima miss my dawy mane.” In a comment on Bucky’s post, he added, “Took L’s n walk around like ya undefeated love ya dude 🫶🏽.” It’s clear that the bond between these players runs deep.

The Buffs safety didn’t hold back either. Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig shared his sentiments with a heartfelt message: “IMA MISS YOU MY DOG❤️ WELL OFF FOREVER 🤩.” He was joined by cornerback Travis Jay, who simply added, “💯🖤.”  The Sanders brothers will forever be remembered by the entire city of Boulder for their contributions to Colorado football.

The journey was not easy. From struggling badly in 2023 to making headlines every single day throughout the season, the Sanders family truly represents the Buffs. Let’s see what Sanders had to say on the final game for his sons.

Deion Sanders in tears

The Alamo Bowl was a huge moment for Colorado football and a day filled with nostalgia for the Sanders family. Coach Prime had a conversation with ESPN’s Taylor McGregor before the game. He was seen as very emotional throughout the interview about coaching his sons.

“The journey. It’s been a tremendous, tumultuous journey,” Sanders said when asked about walking out with his sons for the final time. When asked what he had been reflecting on just before kickoff, Sanders shared that he was thinking back to when his sons first started playing football. Aww! We can feel you, Deion.

“I’m seeing when they first put on uniforms when they first started. When I first started coaching them. The good, the bad, the indifferent. The ups and downs. Just the journey; it’s been a heck of a journey. And I’m thankful; I’m appreciative. I really am. I thank God for it.” Holding back emotions, he added, “I gotta get it together; I’ve got to coach. I gotta keep it together.” Shedeur and Shilo’s time with the Buffs might have ended, but the memories are going to stay for long.
