**Deion Sanders Surprised by Unique Atmosphere at Folsom Field**
Deion Sanders, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, is known for his meticulous preparation on game days. However, he recently expressed surprise at a particular aspect of the atmosphere during home games at Folsom Field. In an interview with CBS Sports Colorado, Sanders, 58, revealed that the distinct smell of marijuana during the second quarter of games caught him off guard.
“The smell of weed in the second quarter surprised the heck out of me. Like every game I’m like, ‘Dang.’ It seems like it’s like a ‘light-up’ quarter, you know what I’m saying? Like, is this the quarter that y’all chose?” Sanders remarked, highlighting the unexpected nature of the experience.
He elaborated that it’s not just the second quarter in general, but a specific moment during it that stands out. “There’s a TV timeout — it never fails — and I’m like, ‘Wow, what’s going on?’ ’Cause you know I’ve never been high a day in my life, so that’s kind of new to me,” he added.
Entering his third season as head coach, Sanders has a home record of 7-5 over his first two years, with Colorado finishing 2-4 at home in 2023. However, the Buffaloes showed improvement in 2024, achieving a 5-1 record at home. This upcoming season will be notable for Sanders as it marks the first without last year’s Heisman Trophy winner, Travis Hunter, and his son, Shedeur Sanders.
The Buffaloes are set to kick off their season at home against Georgia Tech on Friday at 8 p.m. ET. While the roster may have changed, one thing remains consistent: the unique atmosphere at Folsom Field, particularly during that second quarter.
