2023-09-15
Colorado Buffaloes cap'n Deion Sanders bequeathed his whole crew shiny new spyglasses, aye, payin' tribute to the "personal" squabble with scurvy Colorado State's cap'n. Arrr, shades be the weapon o' choice in this sea o' rivalry!
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders and Colorado State head coach Jay Norvell are engaged in a humorous back-and-forth leading up to their upcoming matchup. Norvell took a swipe at Sanders, criticizing his choice of sunglasses and hat during interviews. Sanders responded by sharing a video on Instagram, revealing that he had gifted sunglasses to his entire team. Colorado's equipment staff distributed the sunglasses to each player during a meeting. Sanders expressed his desire to see his players wearing the sunglasses and said that they looked good and "fly." Norvell's comment about Sanders has added fuel to the fire in Boulder, where Sanders' first year as head coach has been successful so far. Sanders' team, now ranked No. 18 in the nation, is expected to defeat Colorado State. Sanders admitted that Norvell's comment made the game personal for him and his players. Sanders criticized the fact that Colorado State was talking about his team while they focused on working hard and doing their jobs. Sanders' players agreed that the game had become personal. Sanders also mentioned that a previous game against Nebraska had become personal due to comments made by their head coach, Matt Rhule. Despite Norvell's jab, he did show respect for Sanders and other head coaches in his statement. Colorado has had the upper hand in recent "Rocky Mountain Showdown" games against Colorado State. It remains to be seen whether the team will indeed walk onto the field wearing the sunglasses.
