A Colorado Buffaloes Blog...Covering CU Sports Since 2008
In a twist only seen in, I don’t know, most novels, the Colorado Buffaloes were left out of the CFBPPlayoff rankings announced on December 2nd. They may be getting punished for their recent loss to Kansas State, but it seems like a stretch to leave them out this late in the game. The Buffs have […]

IMG Academy has been good to the Colorado Buffaloes in recent years. Jordan Seaton is obviously the big fish, but London Merritt, Alexander McPherson and coach George Hegamin are all huge gets for the Buffs as well.

Colby Johnson officially wins for northernmost recruit in this year’s class for the Colorado Buffaloes. Washington isn’t crazy north, but it easily beats Colorado, and most importantly, Sammamish is a very fun hometown to say and write. Deion Sanders really doesn’t recruit the Pacific Northwest that often, so Johnson is a rarity during the Coach […]

Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes have shown a desire to push hard into Georgia in recent years.

This is a rarity for the current iteration of the Colorado Buffaloes. A local kid, from Fort Collins country, has committed to play for the Buffs and Deion Sanders.

I love linebackers. They personify football for me. The Colorado Buffaloes have been blessed with a long lineage of linebackers who do some damage on the field. Greg Biekert. Matt Russell. Sean Tufts. Jordan Dizon. Addison Gillam. Nate Landman (who just signed a massive extension). These guys wear the neck rolls, they plug holes and […]
