Deion Sanders has responded to Colorado State Coach Jay Norvell questioning his manners once again stating “It’s personal”.
Last week Deion Sanders and his Colorado team stomped out Nebraska after taking disrespect from the team and their head coach personally. You would think that would teach other coaches to keep their comments to themselves but it did not. Ahead of this weekend’s Rocky Mountain Showdown with Colorado State, CSU head coach Jay Norvell decided to shade Deion Sanders manners. Additionally, a he indirectly questioned Deion’s upbringing and said he hoped they hear his remarks in Boulder.
“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. (Colorado’s) not going to like us no matter what we say or do.” Norvel said on his weekly Coaches show.
According to Sports Illustrated, Sanders sat with the voice of the Buffs Mark Johnson on his weekly show and responded to the slander. Johnson showed his support for Deion by rocking a cowboy hat and glasses to the show which Deion mentioned in his response.
Prime asked Johnson if that’s truly who he was trying to be before directly addressing Norvell.
“I’m not going to get in front of you and change who I am just because you’re here,” Sanders added. “I don’t do that. I’m consistent with who I am.” He went on to say, “I’m a grown man. I’m supposed to wear what I’m not supposed to wear.”

Coach Prime didn’t stop there he brought the cameras out to practice as he hyped his team with news of the disrespect. Once again Colorado says “It’s personal” and will be hunting for blood against Colorado State this weekend. To make the situation funnier remember CSU is currently 0-1 after a 26-point blowout loss in week 1 to Washington State.
Shilo Sanders joined Pat Mcafee to joke about the situation and share mutual disbelief of the Coaches audacity which you can watch below.
