Deion Sanders put a punctuation mark on his response Friday to Colorado State coach Jay Norvell’s comments earlier this week when he called out the Buffaloes coach.

Coach Prime gifted shades to each of his Colorado players Friday.

“Don’t realize that we won’t only just kick their butts because it’s personal,” he said. “It’s going to be business, but it’s also going to be pleasure.”

Norvell took a shot at Sanders on his coach’s show Wednesday.

“We’re excited,” Norvell said. “We had to do a bunch of ESPN videos, and it’s great. I loved it. But our kids came out of those videos really with a chip on their shoulder. They’re tired of all that stuff. They really are tired of it.

“And 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.”

Sanders reacted soon after the comments were made.

“I’m minding my own business and watching film, trying to get ready, trying to get out here and be the best coach I can be, and I read some ‘bulljunk’ that they have said about us once again,” Sanders said. “Why would you talk about us, when we don’t talk about nobody?

“All we do is go out here and work our butts off and do our job on Saturdays. But when they give us ammunition, they done messed around and made it what? Personal. It was just going to be a good game, but they done messed around and made it personal. It was going to be a great test, a battle of Colorado, but they have messed around and made it personal.”
