Colorado Buffaloes (official thread)

Shedoodle is now suing the NFL for 100 Million :slappy:
It’s a fan.

Some 55 year old guy in Georgia suing over the emotional distress of watching poor subprime being conspired against.

I thought it was parody.

It’s not.

It’s not.
Can I sue the NCAA for the emotional distress of watching Ohio State call stupid plays against the cheaters?
I know I CAN sue them. But I think it's about just as lame of a lawsuit.

Colorado football live buffalo mascot Ralphie VI is retiring after four seasons​

One of the most famous pregame traditions in college football is going to have a new star at the center of the spectacle this season.

Or, to be more specific, a new buffalo.

Colorado’s live buffalo mascot, Ralphie VI, will be retiring after four years of service in the role, the university announced on Tuesday, Aug. 26.

The school made the move due to what it described as “an indifference to running, typical of many mammals both four-legged and two-legged.” Because of that, the university will be transitioning the buffalo, which is nicknamed “Ember,” to a “companion buffalo role” on a ranch, where she will live with her predecessor, Ralphie V.

There, Ember will be able to “focus on relaxing strolls on the pasture, which is her favorite hobby.”

“Ember has been excellent in many aspects of her role as Ralphie, but she’s happiest relaxing on the ranch and we want to be respectful of her wishes,” Taylor Stratton, the director of the Ralphie Live Mascot Program, said in a statement. “She will continue to get the same top level of love and care that all of our Ralphies receive and will enjoy socializing with Ralphie V.”

A succession plan has been in place for “a number of months,” though information on Ralphie VII hasn’t yet been revealed. There’s no timetable for Ralphie VII’s debut, meaning coach Deion Sanders and his team will be taking the field without a live buffalo mascot ahead of their Aug. 29 game against Georgia Tech.

Colorado is coming off a 9-4 finish in 2024 and will look to replace the production of Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and record-setting quarterback Shedeur Sanders, both of whom are now in the NFL.



Just sayin': OK, who knew Ralphie VI was a "she" buffalo? Apparently all Ralphies were females.

Re: All live Ralphie mascots for the University of Colorado have been female because they are smaller, less aggressive, and easier to manage than males, which can weigh significantly more and are more temperamental.

This one was lazy about running so they're retiring her. But they don't have their act together in terms of having a new one ready to go, so no Ralphie for at least a little while.
