BYU doubles down on trolling Colorado, targeting both Deion and Shedeur Sanders image

When it comes to facing Colorado, BYU has turned winning into more than just a scoreboard statement. The Cougars have made trolling the Sanders family part of their postgame tradition, and Saturday night was no exception.

Last December, in the Valero Alamo Bowl, BYU defender Isaiah Glasker made national headlines after intercepting Shedeur Sanders late in the fourth quarter. As he popped up from his diving pick near the sideline, Glasker broke into a rendition of Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders’ iconic celebration dance.

Social media immediately lit up with both positive and negative reactions. It was a moment that defined the Cougars’ 36–14 dismantling of the Buffaloes.

Fast forward nine months, and Glasker once more came up with a gigantic, game-changing play to ensure a BYU victory. His late interception clinched a 24-21 win for the Cougars. Isaiah decided against performing a Deion dance encore.

"No, no celebrations," Glasker stated during the postgame press conference. "Just trying to get out of the game, thankfully. Couldn't do it two years in a row."

However, BYU found a new way to twist the knife.

This time, the Cougars carried the trolling into the locker room. With cell phone cameras rolling, BYU players celebrated their victory by blasting Shedeur’s own rap track, “Perfect Timing.”

They didn’t stop at just playing the music, as players were seen singing along to the lyrics and holding up their wrists, mocking Shedeur’s signature “flashing the watch” celebration.

For Colorado, the losses sting enough. But the mocking has made them memorable.

In two straight meetings, BYU has delivered both on the field and in the headlines. Whether fair gamesmanship or crossing the line, the Cougars have undeniably established a new wrinkle in this budding Big 12 rivalry.
