As CU dodged a bullet on Saturday 06 Sep 08 against a powerful Championship Subdivision (Division I-AA) team, the Eastern Washington Eagles. The Buff’s 4th quarter interception return for a touchdown with under 2 minutes to go to gave the Buffs the go-ahead touchdown and a game ending score of 31-24.

But a win is a win and CU is now 2-0 on the season and faces #24 West Virginia (1-1) (dropped from #8) for CU’s first night game under the lights at Folsom Field!!!  This game is scheduled to be a BLACKOUT where all CU fans in Folsom will be wearing black (much like last year against Florida State):

This game will be a nationally televised game on ESPN and will be the Buffs first action against a top 25 team.

Colorado moved up in the rankings from #42 to #40 receiving 3 votes in the USA Today’ Poll.

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
