Mics picked up what Shedeur Sanders said as he refused to shake Colorado State QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi's hand

At the absolute peak of last season’s Colorado hype, we were treated to a classic game between the Buffaloes and in-state rival Colorado State. Colorado ultimately won that game in double overtime, but that meeting still provided plenty of bulletin-board material for the return matchup in Fort Collins.

Shedeur Sanders wasn’t about to let any of that pregame talk go.

In a preseason interview, Colorado State quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi took some shots at Sanders and Colorado’s media hype. And while Fowler-Nicolosi was essentially just saying that popularity doesn’t matter come game time, Sanders didn’t appreciate those comments.

That was clear in the postgame exchange between Sanders and Fowler-Nicolosi following Colorado’s 28-9 win.

Fowler-Nicolosi extended his hand to shake with Sanders, but the Colorado quarterback snubbed him and offered some trash talk in return. Fowler-Nicolosi told Sanders to keep talking, and they went their separate ways.

Obviously, that wasn’t exactly great sportsmanship. But rivalry games can be like that.
