Deion Sanders was pushed away by opposing coach Eddie Robinson Jr. during their post-game handshake
Immediately after Deion Sanders and his Jackson State football team defeated in-state rival Mississippi Valley State two weeks ago before its bye week, the Tigers coach was ecstatic about traveling to Montgomery to face Alabama State for its homecoming.
When the two teams faced off at ASU Stadium on Saturday in a clash of SWAC East opponents, it was nothing friendly about the contest. “Jackson State travels deep, with all of the fanfare and love,” Sanders said “… We are like [Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey] circus but the black version of it. “You’re [Alabama State] going to make some money but what comes along with money,” Sanders laughed.
After the two shook hands and as Sanders attempted to give Robinson a hug, that’s where things went left. Robinson felt Sanders disrespected him and the program all week in the media leading up to the game.“My exact words was, ‘Hey man, you had them ready to play. Good game,’” Sanders said, perSanders also added that it could have been that Robinson thought he was going to defeat his undefeated team.
