Ahead of the Alamo Bowl, Colorado Buffaloes QB Shedeur Sanders and WR/CB Travis Hunter made the most of their Christmas break and pre-Bowl festivities in San Antonio. Prior to the game, the Buffs joined forces with the BYU Cougars to enjoy a fun holiday at SeaWorld.
Shedeur Sanders & Travis Hunter’s Fun Holiday Moments
While the two teams shared many memorable moments, one displayed Colorado’s key playmakers having the time of their lives as their rollercoaster steadily crawled up a steep climb, reaching the peak, wherein Sanders called the view beautiful just before the coaster dropped at an increasing speed, with both players laughing and essentially having fun.

It seems like Colorado coach Deion Sanders also took the ride for a spin, as he posted on his Facebook account alongside the caption:
“I want to thank everyone at SeaWorld for having us here, they hosted both teams. It was extraordinary, it was wonderful. I even got on the ride, but loved the games even more, but the games are phenomenal. All our kids had a wonderful time, God bless you SeaWorld.”
In another instance involving Coach Prime, his QB son, and Hunter, the trio was seen competing in a hoop game, although the baskets were long fishnets. While the two cornerstone players of the Buffs’ offense failed to sink in a single shot, their coach strode in and stole the show on his first try, after which he hopped away with a Pikachu soft toy in his hands.
Other than having fun on rides, the athletes also swam with dolphins and built gifts for local kids in their custom “Buffs Santa Workshop.”

They also traded Secret Santa gifts among each other and then headed to the Alamo Bowl River Rally on Dec. 26, which was a parade full of festivities that both teams immersed themselves in.
Black cowboy hats paired with gold attires filled the Arneson River Theater, alongside blue, royal, and white supporting their Cougars.
