"Selling out every darn home game, I mean, record breaking numbers," he said on Coach Prime's Playbook with Romi Bean, which airs Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m.

"I'm really thankful and I'm so happy that we have the fan base that we have ... Everywhere we go the support is there as well."

Sanders says he, his coaching staff and his players all want to win for the fans "so bad." He said it's a very motivating factor in the team's quest for success.

Against Arizona in Boulder on Saturday the Buffaloes had perhaps their best showing of the season, although it ended with a 34-31 loss. It was one of several very close losses for the Buffs this season.

"We want to win because we feel like we have arguably the best fan base in the country," Sanders said.
