Travis Hunter has had enough of the hate circulating around Colorado football. The Buffs’ clash with Colorado State went in their favor despite multiple provocations from the Rams. Before the game, CSU made some fiery digs at Deion Sanders’ program but interestingly, they didn’t verbally fight back.

Travis Hunter, who prefers to stay away from social drama, declared that they don’t care about their critics’ animosity towards them. He was especially taunted by the CSU QB in a “too small” gesture but preferred to remain composed. Still, their discipline was overlooked as Colorado’s critics kept dwelling on the Buffs’ worst scenarios to exploit them personally. 

Travis Hunter connected with Jose Cinco in his latest YouTube episode on The Travis Hunter Show on September 19 to reflect on the last game against CSU. Hunter recounted how Colorado kept their cool in the Rocky Mountain Showdown but still managed to come off as the villain in the public’s eyes. He said, “It makes us look like the bad guys but at the end of the day, we know we ain’t the bad guys.” 

This came after Deion Sanders’ conference speech where he slammed journalists for attacking college football. The Buffs HC said, “Once upon a time, you guys never attacked college football players. Now they’re making more money than y’all and some of y’all are envious and jealous about that so you’re on the attack.”

Colorado had been under close scrutiny since their season opener in August against North Dakota State. But it was their Week 2 loss to Nebraska that cooked up hate and judgment from critics. 

Colorado receives hate after Nebraska loss

Colorado’s struggle against Nebraska in their 28-10 loss brought out some unflattering antics from the Buffs players. Travis Hunter got into a fit of frustration during the game and Shedeur Sanders went on to throw his teammates under the bus for their poor performance. Deion Sanders, on the other hand, received brutal admissions from critics, particularly Paul Finebaum. 

While Finebaum feels Deion Sanders handles the media in a brilliant way, he killed the goodwill between them when he said, “I’m not sure he’s brilliant as a head coach.” The ESPN analyst further stated that he wasn’t seeing any improvement in the program when the offense allowed six sacks. But that Nebraska game was just one game and Colorado was able to get out of their humiliation with a thrilling victory over their intrastate rival in Week 3. But if Deion Sanders and Colorado wish to keep negativity at bay, their upcoming games will have a lot to prove that they’re a good team.
