The Colorado Buffaloes and Colorado State Rams played in one of the most intense games of the 2023 college football season. That intensity hasn’t withered away in Colorado Springs quite yet. Ahead of their 2024 matchup, two Rams had choice words for the Buffaloes.
Rams quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and wide receiver Tory Horton had plenty to say about Colorado before the Rocky Mountain Showdown this Saturday. Fowler-Nicolosi and Horton called out the Buffs and claimed they should have won last year’s hotly-contested affair in Boulder.
They also had some other things to say as well.
“We should have murdered them guys …we’re coming for revenge”
“We’ll see how far instagram followers gets them”

“We owe them one,” Horton said. “And that’s just something that’s been sitting on everybody’s mind since we came back from break. We owe them. We walked away from the game … I don’t feel we left it all on the field … we’re coming for revenge.”
“Yeah, they came out with that attitude,” Fowler-Nicolosi said. “They saw the reports. 27.5 points or whatever it was. They got a rude, rude awakening real quick. I think it goes to show that the hype, the media train, all that it only gets you so far at the end of the day. You have to line up 11 guys against our 11 guys and we’ll find out who wants it more.
“We’ll see how far Instagram followers gets them,” he said.
“At the end of the day, Deion Sanders ain’t playing,” the Rams receiver said of the Colorado coach. “It’s those players playing. So those players better back up on what they’re speaking about.”
Colorado and Colorado State’s matchup could be a fiery one.
