Due to the success of the CU–Sports Basement festivities on WED 29 AUG 07, the Sports Basement marketing department has agreed to give all card-carrying CU Alumni Association members a permanent 10% discount for all purchases at all store locations!
I would like to thank Sports Basement for offering CU alumni this discount program. In particular, I would like to thank Amy Meyers (Sports Basement Marketing) for her efforts in setting up Wednesday’s event and approving a permanent 10% discount for CU alumni!
CU Alumni Association registration is free (emails from Boulder and from NorCal Buffs).
But paid card-carrying membership has numerous additional benefits (including this permanent 10% discount at Sports Basement). There are several different levels of membership for both individuals and dual (couples):
- New Graduate
- Adult (1 year and 3 year memberships)
- Lifetime
- Director Club

Fellow CU alumni Tory Tupper Del Favero (class of 95) has started a grassroots campaign to restore the serving of beer at the CU Alumni Tent: Save Our Beer (S.O.B.). The 2007 football season begins without the serving of beer at the CU Alumni Tent. Over the years, hundreds of out-of-state and local alums have gathered at the CU Alumni Tent before each game to meet with old friends and, until this year, share a beer or two. It would be hard to disagree that changes to alcohol policy were needed at CU in the last decade. However taking the taps away from the “aging” alumni crowd puts yet another roadblock in the path of alumni support for this loyal group of CU fans.

CU finally finds their running game after shutting out Miami, OH 42-0 this past Saturday at Folsom Field! The Buffs (2-2) controlled the game with their balanced offensive attack with 359 yards on the ground, 275 yeards in the air and total offensive output of 634 yeards! Even more impressive was the consistent defensive play of our d-line and secondary with leading tackles made by Daniel Dykes, Brad Jones, Jordan Dizon and Jeff Smart. Even though CU had three turnovers, the Colorado D still held the Redhawks in check by only allowing 6 first downs for the entire game. Great Job BUFFS!!!

The first five minutes of the CU – ASU game were GREAT down in Tempe, AZ this past weekend! The remaining 55 minutes was a different story… ASU was our “sandwich” game, having CSU to kick off the season and FSU this coming weekend… we just simply overlooked this overrated PAC-10 game… and paid for it. At least we are not Michigan (0-2) or Notre Dame (0-2)!
