Colorado State coach 'tired' of all the Colorado and Deion Sanders hype ahead of Rocky Mountain Showdown

Colorado State and coach Jay Norvell are ready to move on from the hype surrounding Colorado and Deion Sanders.

The Rams play the Buffaloes on Saturday in a game that will be televised on ESPN and preceded by both ESPN and Fox's pregame shows on-site in Boulder. Colorado is 2-0 after wins over TCU and Nebraska to start the season and plays its in-state rival before opening its Pac-12 schedule against Oregon and USC.

On his coaches show Wednesday, Norvell said that both he and Colorado State’s players were “tired” of all the attention Sanders and his program were receiving.
