Saturday’s matchup between No. 18 Colorado and Colorado State already was going to draw plenty of attention due to the early success of the Buffaloes and the high profile of new coach Deion Sanders.
But CSU coach Jay Norvell is adding some sizzle to the intrastate rivalry by taking a swipe at Coach Prime’s public persona. On his weekly radio show, Norvell shared some remarks he made during interviews with ESPN in which he highlighted a difference between him and Sanders.
“I sat down with ESPN today,” Norvell said Wednesday night, per Sports Illustrated’s Fan Nation. “I don’t care if they hear it in Boulder. I told them, I took my hat off and I took my glasses off. I said when I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat off and my glasses off. That’s what my mother taught me.”
