Colorado State University coach Jay Norvell’s wife, Kim, fired at Colorado quarterback and Deion Sanders’ son Shedeur over a postgame exchange after the Rocky Mountain showdown on September 16.
The exchange happened when Norvell and Colorado coach Deion Sanders approached each other after the final whistle.
After Norvell’s ‘Congratulations’ was met with Sanders’ ‘God bless’, the two coaches got in an argument about Norvell mentioning his counterpart’s family in the buildup to the game. Rather than engaging, Norvell cut the talk quickly and went his separate way.
‘Shadeur [sic] acted like a B when Jay turned his back after trying to talk to his dad,’ Kim said in a now deleted tweet. ‘And he held up his watch.’
Kim made the comment after the latest episode of the ‘Coach Prime’ docuseries came out, in which Sanders addressed the exchange with Norvell after Colorado’s 43-35 win.

Shedeur stood next to his father and coach throughout the exchange.
As Norvell approached, Shedeur told Deion: ‘Don’t put your hands on him.’
‘You was talking about my mama, dog,’ Sanders told Norvell after saying he never talked about his family.
However, Norvell’s words about Sanders and how he was raised before the game suggested otherwise.
‘When I talk to adults, I take my hat and my glasses off,’ Norvell said. ‘That’s what my mother taught me.’

The comments added a personal layer to the already heated rivalry between the schools.
Sanders brought his mother, Connie, and WWE star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to speak to his players in the locker room before the win.
The back-and-forth between teachers also led tempers to flare between players during warmups. After heated verbal exchanges, both sides had to be parted with Shedeur and teammate Travis Hunter at the center of the fracas.
Shedeur finished the game passing for 348 yards and four scores. Meanwhile, his older brother and Colorado safety Shilo made three tackles and an interception.
