Buffs Prepare for West Virginia THURSDAY NIGHT Game 18 Sep 08, 5:30 PM (PST)
CU and West Virginia both had bye weekends as they prepare for play this Thursday at Folsom Field. Colorado (2-0) dropped in the USA Today’ Poll two spots to #42, while WV (1-1) moved up two spots to #22. Colorado is also a 3 point underdog in this Thursday’s game.
This past weekend, the BIG XII remained at the top of the leader’s board among BCS conferences with a 6-2 record (Kansas lost to South Florida as time expired and Iowa State lost to instate rival Iowa). Overall the BIG XII has a 28-4 record which is the nations best conference record! The BIG XII also has 4 teams in the Top 10, plus Kansas at #19, Nebraska at #28, Oklahoma State at #31, and Colorado at #42.
This Thursday’s game will be CU’s first game on Thursday night in 18 years! Thursday will also be a BLACKOUT game at Folsom Field where all Buff fans will be wearing black, much like last year against Florida State.
This game will be nationally televised on ESPN and will be the Buffs first game against a Top 25 team!
The San Francisco Watch Party will again be at JONES Sports Bar in the Marina District of San Francisco:

Address: 2400 Lombard St (at Scott St.), San Francisco, CA 94123 (415-440-2000)
Our last Watch Party held At JONES Sports Bar on 31 Aug 2008 was larger than expected. The JONES staff was under prepared for the estimated 400+ CU alumni and friends that watched the game. JONES said that they had 200+ on Saturday for the USC-Virginia game and the bar was pretty packed, but the CU crowd dwarfed the USC crowd to the point that the bar RAN OUT OF BEER. They had to make a beer run to Safeway just to have bottles to hand out to Buff fans!
Of course this upset both CU fans and the bar owners. Thus, the management team promises to be prepared for our large CU crowd for ALL Future games! They will have additional bartenders, servers, and kitchen staff and have LOWERED their prices to CU BUFFS only (not other schools):
$10 Coors Light and Bud Light Pitcher
$14 Blue Moon Pitchers
$13 Bud or Bud Light Buckets
$5 Margaritas
$5 Yeager Bombs
$10 Burger, fries and beer combo
Rest of the food menu will remain the same
In addition to the specials above, JONES will also have:
3 Satellite bars + Main bar
12 additional servers
15 kegs
50 cases of beer
