CU Buffs Score Big! 🏈✨
Hey Boulder fans, what a game! CU Buffs took to Folsom Field this past weekend, and Coach Prime’s team didn’t disappoint, claiming a crucial win that keeps them in the Big 12 race. This victory means the Buffs are just a step away from bowl eligibility—stay tuned as they battle for a spot in the Big 12 title game!
Here’s what went down: Quarterback Shedeur Sanders showed off his skill, throwing for over 2,200 yards this season with an impressive 19 touchdowns, and two-way star Travis Hunter brought the heat, leading with six touchdowns of his own. Buffs fans were treated to amazing plays by Jimmy Horn Jr., LaJohntay Wester, and Isaiah Augustave, each adding fuel to CU’s offensive fire.
Defensively, the Buffs were unstoppable! Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig and Nikhai Hill-Green held the line with 53 tackles each, backed by key interceptions from Travis Hunter and Colton Hood. With all eyes on their matchup against Cincinnati’s star running back Corey Kiner, CU’s front seven shut down the Bearcats, forcing crucial third-and-long plays that kept fans on the edge of their seats!
Next Up: The Buffs take a breather next weekend and will return to action on Nov. 9, ready to take on Texas Tech and continue their race to the Big 12 title!
Congrats to the Buffs for a fantastic win, and as always, Go Buffs! 🦬💛

Spooky Game: Guess the Haunted Spot (Answer!) 🎃🕸️
 | The answer is: Macky Auditorium! 🎭👻 Located on the University of Colorado campus, Macky Auditorium is rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a student named Elaura Jaquette, who met a tragic fate there. Visitors and staff have reported seeing ghostly apparitions and hearing mysterious organ music echoing through the halls—even though there’s no organ in the building! Another presence, described as a man dressed in brown, is said to haunt one of Macky’s towers, adding an extra layer of mystery to this iconic building. |
