All publicity is good publicity, right?

On Friday night, the Colorado Buffaloes suffered a shocking defeat, squandering a substantial lead against Stanford.

Then, on Saturday night, Sanders became the butt of the joke during the season premiere of Saturday Night Live (SNL) on NBC, with Kenan Thompson taking on the role of the always-confident Coach Prime.

"Colin, look at me, man," the fictional Prime said. "What about me makes you think that I care about what you think about me? You don't understand that my team has it all, man. Coaching? Genius. Offense? Explosive. Defense? Trying. It's a complete package, man."

"Yeah, well, millions of people are watching your games," Colin Jost told Thompson, acting as Prime. "You've obviously turned the program around. But it's not perfect. I mean, just last night, you lost to Stanford in double overtime."

"Wasn't that crazy?" Thompson replied. "Man, we went up 29 to nothing at the half, so I went home and fell asleep. I woke up this morning as shocked as anyone... Nobody's perfect. Name one team that's undefeated."
