Buffs finally take the field again

Add a Comment

September 18, 3:28 PM

by Erin Hickey, Denver Sports Examiner

I’m not sure how many days make up an eternity, but I’m guessing 12 must be pretty close…. That’s how long it’s been since CU last played a football game. And unless you were at Folsom Field to watch the Buffs take on Eastern Washington way back on September 6th, you haven’t seen them play since the last TV broadcast 18 days ago! That's got to be closing in on two eternities.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the major events that have taken place since then:

The Republicans held their national convention
Hurricane Gustav hit the Gulf Coast
Serena Williams and Roger Federer won the U.S. Open
The U.S. government bailed out mortgage firms Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
Lance Armstrong announced a Tour de France comeback
Hurricane Ike hit Texas
The U.S. economy went down in flames
The Rockies lost a bunch
The Broncos beat the Chargers on a botched no-call and a miracle 2-point conversion

Luckily for CU fans, the wait is finally over. They’ll get to see their Buffs take center stage on ESPN’s national broadcast tonight, when they battle #21 West Virginia. It’ll be the first real test of a CU team looking to become relevant again in the Big 12 conference. Will the no-huddle offense hold up? Will the defense be able to contain Pat White, Noel Divine and company?

Find out tonight… 6:30pm, ESPN.

http://www.denversports.org/ 1. Will this be the last CU/CSU game ever played at Invesco? CU gets the game at Folsom Field in 2009, and CSU hosts it at Hughes Stadium in 2010. After that, who knows? Negotiations are in the works for future showdowns,... Read More
