We went to Boulder about 15 years ago. They tried to take away my camera at the stadium, something that never happened at Memorial Stadium. They did not succeed.

And the mascot, a buffalo, who took 5 guys to handle him. Very dangerous.

Colorado had a receiver who was really good. He kept catching the ball and kept them in the game. The game went to overtime and Cal finally won. I will never forget that receiver even though I forgot his name!

Paul Richardson Jr! What a crazy performance. If he hadn't torn his ACL he had a real chance to be an All-NFL player.

I attended a Cal away game at Colorado. The Cal section was seated in front of the return wagon /

cage for their mascot Ralphie. Interesting to watch his runs (before the 1st and 3rd quarter starts) around the stadium.

Never really cared about them. Having lived in Boulder, for a year, I can say that CU Boulder has a vastly inflated ego about their place in the academic and athletic world, and I think it was humiliating for them to compete against the West coast teams on either front. A loss was always tragic to them. A win was like a preseason game. Glad they are going back to the Big12, where they belong. Let them be a bigger fish in a smaller midwestern pond.
