The Colorado Buffaloes lost to the Washington Huskies 41-10 in the Pac-12 championship on Friday evening, a disappointment to many of the state’s football fans.

But fans probably should have seen it coming, according to Broncos running back C.J. Anderson, who played college football for the California Golden Bears.

If you thought CU had a chance y'all was trippin — Cj Anderson (@cjandersonb22) December 3, 2016

Many fans were seemingly irritated by Anderson’s tweet and lashed out with feisty comebacks. Anderson was graceful with his responses.

@BrandonBoles same cut I will make 1000 times after boss — Cj Anderson (@cjandersonb22) December 3, 2016

@crazyk007 when I played CU when I was at cal won both games all I can speak on — Cj Anderson (@cjandersonb22) December 3, 2016

Several followers took the tweet as an opportunity to bring up Devontae Booker, Denver’s rookie running back that has been starting since Anderson went to the team’s injured reserve list.

Just like you thinking you was gonna keep the starting spot over booker .. https://t.co/84EFc0IeFP — AVERY CASH (@AveryTCash) December 3, 2016

Anderson again responded gracefully.

Faced with much backlash from his followers, Anderson clarified that he did not think Colorado was a bad team—they just weren’t good enough to win the Pac-12.

How am I hating CU haven't beat a top 5 team all year had a hell of a year but those where the facts — Cj Anderson (@cjandersonb22) December 3, 2016

Y'all act like I said CU was a bad team they are very good just wasn't winning the PAC all in saying — Cj Anderson (@cjandersonb22) December 3, 2016

Before being injured, Anderson rushed 110 times for 437 yards and four touchdowns this season. This offseason, Anderson signed a four-year, $18 million deal with Denver that’s good through the 2019 season.

Despite Friday’s loss, Colorado, at 10-3, will still play in a bowl game this postseason (the matchup will be finalized on Sunday, Dec. 4). Meanwhile, California, at 5-7, would need a lot of outside help to qualify for a bowl game.

Perhaps that’s why fans took such offense to Anderson’s tweet.
