Boulder, Colorado – A peckish equipment manager for the Colorado Buffaloes football team had the unpleasant experience of scarfing down a flour tortilla that had spent the better part of the Buffs’ game vs Texas Tech in star two-way player Travis Hunters’ game pants.
“What can we say, he got hungry,” said CU head coach Deion Sanders during Monday’s media availability.
“What happened was, our training staff skipped breakfast at the hotel in Lubbock, because the Red Roof Inn was out of instant scrambled eggs. No big deal, they’re tough. But once we got back to Boulder, those guys were loading up the washing machines, and BAM, out falls a warm and puffy flour tortilla that Travis had saved during the 3rd quarter. Our trainer was so hungry by that point, he just went for it.”
Coach Sanders said that the trainer, who Colorado refuses to name, hasn’t suffered any gastrointestinal complications yet, but that the Buffs were keeping an eye on him.
