Colorado football coach Deion Sanders gave a new update on his health after having his cancerous bladder removed in May and described his “new normal” on game days, which includes managing his bladder and having a sense of humor about it.
Sanders talked about it on the Colorado Football Coaches Show Wednesday Sept. 10, as his Buffaloes prepare to play Friday night at Houston After the show’s host, Mark Johnson, asked him about it, Sanders noted how his willingness to talk about the subject publicly has helped other people dealing with incontinence and similar issues.
“I gotta make sure I pee before I go out there,” Sanders said of his pregame routine.
A portable toilet has been installed on the sideline at Folsom Field for his use. It resembles a rectangular tent and is sponsored by Depend, the adult diaper brand that sponsors Sanders.
Sanders, 58, said he hasn’t used it yet. But a former Colorado player of his, Jimmy Horn Jr., visited him during the season opener against Georgia Tech and wanted to use it.
