There’s still more fallout coming out from this weekend’s Stanford-Colorado game.

On Friday night, Stanford did the unthinkable and came back from a 29-0 halftime deficit to defeat the Colorado Buffs.

Which led to Coach Sanders ripping his team.

“They gotta make up their mind, are they in love with this game or like it,” Sanders said. “When you love something, you give to it unconditionally. You give everything you got to it. But when you like it, that’s just a button you push.”

“It’s hard for me because I love this. Without a shadow of a doubt, I am truly 100 percent in love with this thing. I just want people to match me. Match my passion, match my heart, match my love, match my consistency.”

After the game, Stanford offensive lineman Fisher Anderson took to Twitter to take shots at Deion Sanders and Colorado, which he calls a team made up of “mercenaries.”

“A few thoughts on last night: Good always wins out, no matter how bleak it looks, “When coach Taylor got hired, he told everyone to stay and believe; Coach prime told everyone to leave. We are program builders; they are mercenaries. I believe in Stanford football; you should too.”

It seems like opposing teams are going to keep taking shots at Sanders if the Buffs keep losing this season.
