This all started because of a flag.
Lowkey, as an alum of THE Ohio State University, I wish someone would have beat up Baker Mayfield for planting the OU flag in the middle of Ohio Stadium.
I am all for trash talking and having a good time, but there is no need to plant your flag. You aren’t at war.
I am glad Deion Sanders apologized. Here is what he had to say.
“On behalf of Jackson State University — Coach Rollins, man, I appreciate you. He’s one of the real ones and I want formally apologize, man. We acted like idiots at the conclusion of the game, the gentleman who thought it was proper to take flags out of plant it in the middle of your field were straight idiots.
“And I want to apologize to all the fans, all the alumni, everybody associated with the Southern Jags. Aye man that will never happen again. And I’m going to take that responsibility because we’re supposed to be smart tough, fast and disciplined. We forgot the discipline and we forgot the character. We’ve got to learn how to win. We’ve got to learn how to win. Right, man you fought us to the end. You fought us like dogs and we gon’ return the favor with that bull junk?
“I want to formally apologize Coach Rollins. I’m sorry. And that would never happen again. God bless you, Southern. God bless you, HBCU. God bless you, SWAC. Let’s do this.”
No word on if Prime will punish the player who decided to plant the flag after their 21-17 win.
