Colorado, Colorado State mix it up in pregame scuffle amid expletive-filled chants
If the pregame between Colorado and Colorado State are any indication, the game between the rivals should be a heated one.
The Buffaloes and Rams appeared to get into it during warmups when a Colorado State player swatted a pass away intended for Colorado’s Travis Hunter. Shedeur Sanders jumped in the mix, too.
In addition, during the scuffle, Colorado fans chanted, “F–k CSU!”

When Jay Norvell threw shade at Deion Sanders for wearing sunglasses during interviews, Coach Prime responded by handing out some of his signature shades.
Sanders passed out pairs of Prime 21 sunglasses to his players during a team meeting — “I just want to see how y’all look in ‘em. You look good!” — and then gave some to the hosts of ESPN’s “First Take” and “The Pat McAfee Show” to wear on set Friday.
During his weekly radio show, Norvell took a swipe at Sanders’ habit of wearing his cap and sunglasses during media interviews.

“I sat down with ESPN today. And I don’t care if they hear it in Boulder. I told them, ‘I took my hat off, and I took my glasses off.’ And I said, ‘When I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat and my glasses off.’ That’s what my mother taught me,” Norvell said. “They’re not going to like us, no matter what we say or do. It doesn’t matter. So, let’s go up there and play.”
Sanders, of course, responded to the comments, then gifted his players sunglasses.
Norvell came back with a social media post, trying to explain what his comments really meant.
“With all the media involved with this game, not one reporter asked me about my comments,” Norvell posted on “X,” the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. ” One guy got it. I wanted to send a message to our players and how we run our program.”
