Since his arrival at the helm of the Colorado Buffaloes, Deion Sanders has attracted as much attention for his flamboyant style as for his statements.
American football's star coach was recently asked about the student section tradition that most surprised him at home games.
True to his outspoken nature, Sanders didn't hesitate to respond with humor:
“The smell of cannabis in the 2nd quarter!”

This remark, which has gone viral, illustrates the unique atmosphere around college football matches in Boulder.
In a state where cannabis consumption has been legal for several years, it's not uncommon for this reality to invite itself into the stands.
Deion Sanders, nicknamed Coach Prime, is no stranger to the media.
The former NFL star and Hall of Famer has established himself as one of the most talked-about figures in college football.
At the helm of the Buffaloes, he is transforming not only the sports program, but also the way the spotlight focuses on the NCAA.
A statement that reflects the atmosphere at games in Colorado
While some have greeted this remark with humor, others see it as a reflection of the cultural peculiarities that distinguish Colorado from other American states.
In its own way, the smell to which Sanders refers has become an informal “tradition” at local matches.
This kind of statement reinforces Coach Prime's reputation as a man who knows how to capture the media's attention while putting his team in the spotlight.
The Buffaloes, who already have a strong following, are seeing their popularity grow even further through the words of their coach.
