“Well, to be up front, I thought there was a lot of disrespect all week,” Robinson said. “So, you wouldn’t be disrespectful all week in the media. We didn’t talk in pre-game. I was there the whole time on the 50-yard line. He walked through our entire rally into our final zone. He came a long way to get to his side of the field in the preliminary game.” I thought this wasn’t elegant at all. In game after game, I’m not about to give you a bosom of Obama and his bros. I’ll shake a hand and go on. I will always be respectful and respectful of the game… I live on the shoulders of SWAC. It’s not SWAC. I’m SWAC.”

“You can’t do all these things all week, and then come in and get your quarterback in the game and run an obstacle and go try to put more points on the board,” Robinson said. The game was out of line. It was 26-12. 40 seconds left. We didn’t have timeouts. Take a damn knee. We wanted to try to run, so we started. We’re going to take them out of the game too. That’s how it should be. That we play. There’s no place. Do you want to do that? Don’t come and try bro hug like we’re friends. We’re not friends. You didn’t shake hands with me before the game. Why do you want to shake my hand after the game? Period. That’s it.”

Despite Sanders’ name being left out of Power Five jobs, Robinson said he hopes to get another crack against him and Jackson State next year.

“Hopefully he’ll be back next year,” Robinson said. “I pray he didn’t get the Power Five job. We can play in Jackson, and I invite them to put us on their way home.
