USA TODAY dives into the aftermath of the Univ. of Colorado's blowout loss to Oregon under the headline, "'Deion was always beloved by us': Yes, Colorado is still Black America's football team." As Deion Sanders continues to "capture the fascination of college football," even when his team gets blown out, "something else is happening." It may not make headlines, but it's happening "all across the country. In Black homes. In Black businesses. Black fathers and sons, Black moms and daughters, Black friends and workmates." They are saying that Colorado "is Black America's team," and "yes, they still are," despite being obliterated by Oregon on Saturday. No one thought Colorado was "going undefeated or that there wouldn't be brutal patches." Sanders is "rebuilding a broken program and it was always going to take time." The bandwagon is "still full -- of Black fans."
