Deion Sanders vs. Jay Norvell: Coach Prime provides preview of what postgame handshake will look like

Deion Sanders and his Colorado program have captivated the college football world unlike any other coach and team to begin the 2023 season.
They have started the season 2-0 with wins against TCU and Nebraska, and are hosting in-state rival Colorado State tonight.
Jay Norvell, the coach of Colorado State added some fuel to this game when he made a comment on how his mother taught him to take his hat and sunglasses off when talking to adults. This was a shot at Sanders, who is widely known for wearing both of those during games and while at his press conferences.
Sanders took exception to those comments and showed the Big Noon Kickoff on Fox hosts what he plans to do at the end-of-game handshake. Needless to say, it’s the ultimate form of petty, but it’s hard to blame the head coach after Norvell’s comments.
Coach Prime already has his postgame handshake planned out, and I respect this level of petty ?? pic.twitter.com/11BfjsPsxh

Sanders recently launched a line of custom sunglasses in a deal with Blenders Eyewear and even gave every single player on the team a pair. He also gave celebrities such as Stephen A. Smith, Pat McAfee, The Rock and Shannon Sharpe a pair on ESPN. Sanders said the company did $1.2 million in sales just yesterday.
Kickoff between these two teams is scheduled for 10 pm ET on ESPN, live from Boulder.
