Deion Sanders and his Colorado football team suffered such a huge loss against Stanford on Friday night that “Saturday Night Live” made fun of it a day later in a segment featuring actor Kenan Thompson in the role of “Coach Prime.”
Thompson dressed in a white CU hat and a white Colorado hooded sweatshirt with sunglasses as he took questions from “Weekend Update” anchor Colin Jost on NBC. The segment lampooned Sanders, his trademark confidence and his 46-43 double overtime loss to Stanford after taking a 29-0 lead in the first half. Colorado is 4-3 after starting 3-0 in the first year with Sanders as head coach.
“We just keep winning, man,” Thompson said in the role of Sanders. “Every game, every minute. We winning at life.”
