Deion Sanders has completely reshaped how the Colorado football program is viewed. Not only did Sanders completely rebuild a 1-win team from 2022 through the transfer portal, but he has his squad 2-0 after an upset win over TCU and a blowout of Nebraska.
But not everyone is impressed, especially the Buffaloes' upcoming opponent, Colorado State. Rams head coach Jay Norvell took a shot at Sanders for wearing sunglasses and a hat while talking to the media, with Sanders later firing back, saying the game against Colorado State is now “personal.”
It's not the only upcoming game that will be personal, though. Next on the schedule for the Buffs after the Rams is Oregon football, whose head coach Dan Lanning took a jab at Sanders and the Buffs for leaving the Pac-12 back in August. Lanning's comments went viral after Norvell's shot at Sanders.
“Not a big reaction,” were the words Dan Lanning said back in August when asked about Colorado football leaving the Pac-12. He also went into further detail as to why this does not impact him, “I'm trying to remember what they won to affect this conference and I don't remember. Do you remember them winning anything? I don't remember them winning anything.”
Sanders did not directly respond to Lanning's comments, though he did have quite the reaction to Oregon football joining the Big Ten. Bad blood is boiling between the two teams, and this often makes for good football action on the gridiron.
Just like Norvell's comments, one can bet that Lanning's won't go unnoticed leading up to their game next week.
