Former President of the United States, Barack Obama, made an appearance in Tucson, Arizona, on Friday and hyped up the Arizona Wildcats prior to their game against the 5-2 Colorado Buffaloes.
“I know Colorado got a couple good players, I also know you guys have beaten them twice in a row,” Obama told the crowd in Tucson.

The Buffs must have heard the former president’s remarks and set out to prove him wrong, dominating the Wildcats 34-7 at Arizona Stadium.
In a post-game press conference following their win, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders made sure to express his love for Obama but was glad his team managed to pull off the win.
“President Obama is everything to me. I mean I love him, I admire him, I respect him tremendously,” Coach Prime told reporters. “But… I heard what he said. President, I heard what you said man.”
Shedeur Sanders went 23 for 33, throwing for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
In addition to his son, Coach Prime emphasized that the Buffs have more than just two good players on their roster.
“We have more than two good players. “But you’re here (in Arizona) so you had to support that,” Coach Prime said. “President! Come one man. You’re my man. I love you, I appreciate you, but come on dog.”
Colorado will host the Cincinnati Bearcats next Saturday.
