"All I needed was ice": When Coach Prime's ex-wife Pilar Sanders donned Shedeur-like jewelry during CU's game against Nebraska
Pilar Sanders was among the first to board the Colorado Buffaloes hype train in the 2023 college football season. The Buffs cruised in the first three weeks of Deion Sanders' first season in Colorado, with Shedeur Sanders dropping outstanding performances week after week.
Like in 2024, Pilar was also present at the Folsom Field last year, cheering on her sons. She posted an IG reel on September 14, 2023, cheering on her sons from the stands. Shedeur Sanders' mother decided to wear jewelry similar to what her son carries.
It was a video of her from the Buffs' Week 2 game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on September 9. Shedeur Sanders and Co. defeated Nebraska 36-14, with the QB recording 393 yards and two touchdowns.
Pilar captioned her IG post:
"Game 2 @cubuffsfootball vs @huskerfootball was so 🔥 all I needed was ICE!"
It was a dream start to the season for Coach Prime till Week 3, after which it all went down. From 3-0 down, the Buffs ended the season with a 4-8 record.

Pilar Sanders reveals naming secret to Shilo Sanders
In a fun moment back in April 2023, Shilo asked his mother about how he got his name.
“So, how did you come up with the name Shilo?” Shilo asked in a video shared on his channel.
Pilar was quick to answer, laughing:
“I always knew I was gonna name you Shilo.”
When Shilo suggested that his dad, Coach Prime, had a say, Pilar rolled her eyes and fired back:
“Your dad didn’t name any of you.” [00:20]
It’s no surprise that Pilar Sanders has always had Shilo’s back. Even after his rough game against Kansas State, she quickly reminded her followers that Shilo was still recovering from a forearm injury, insisting that his struggles were temporary.
After a tough Week 7 game against Kansas State, where Shilo had a "horrible" outing, Pilar quickly backed her son and highlighted his redemption in Week 8 against Arizona.
She has been all over social media this college football season, cheering on her first-born son as he navigates the ebbs and flows of playing for the Colorado Buffaloes.
