One of the more fascinating storylines this college football season has been the heightened rivalry between Colorado and Colorado State, and the game lived up to its hype after just a quarter on Saturday night at Folsom Field.
During one of the more surreal moments of that first quarter, Colorado came up with a big fumble while ESPN was interviewing rapper Offset, who had joined the Buffaloes star-studded sideline.
As the play went down, Offset instantly reacted and called for the fumble right after it happened. It made for a delightfully unexpected moment of television and helped this live up to the fireworks we were all hoping for.
"Ball's on the ground! Ball's on the ground! That's a fumble!"
"Fumble, baby! Let's go, that's our ball!!"

Hey, we’d be as excited as Offset was if we were standing on the sideline of the most exciting college football team in America right now.
We’ll be curious to see how long Colorado is able to keep up this momentum on the field, but we’re counting on Deion Sanders and company to establish something really special in Boulder.
Offset knows something’s up, and that’s why he’s sideline with the Buffaloes.
