Just this past weekend, the Colorado Buffaloes were on cloud nine after a dramatic last-second victory against Arizona State.
In the aftermath of the game, the Buffaloes' standout quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, decided to taunt the Arizona State student section by flaunting his wrist that flashed a watch rumored to be valued at a whopping $70,000.
This cheeky move quickly went viral, even inspiring two NFL players to replicate the gesture the very next day.
Yet, as fate would have it, a mere week later, it was an offensive lineman from the Stanford Cardinal who playfully turned the tables, using the same taunt against Shedeur and the Buffaloes, and fans went wild!
"All that flexing and Colorado couldn't beat one of the worst teams on their schedule," one fan tweeted.
"I wanna see this the rest of the season," another added.
"they got stanford players clowning them ooooo i'd be sick to my stomach," another fan added.
Colorado, now 4-3 in the season, will likely need to be close to perfection to earn a chance to play in a coveted bowl game this season.
