  My eyes! With fans like these, the University of Colorado doesn’t need enemies. In the second quarter of the home game last Saturday, November 15, against the number-13 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, someone from the crowd –most likely a Buffs fan -- shined a green, laser-pointer light into the face of Cowboy quarterback Zac Robinson. Long-range laser pointers received a lot of notoriety in 2005, when a man in New Jersey pointed on a small plane flying overhead. Potentially dangerous

• CU Buffs lets player blog about reality of college football, reconsider after player blogs about reality of college football

  CUBuffs.comBenjamin Burney​It must've seemed like such a good idea at the time. Let senior University of Colorado cornerback Ben Burney blog about the Buffaloes' 2009 season on the CU's athletic department's website. It would show fans what it's really like to be one of those heroes in black and gold, the athletic department staff must have figured. It would be something real. "Burney's Blog" appeared on CUBuffs.com last Thursday, along with his first entry, a report on training camp tit

• Party time in Fort Collins after CSU beat CU -- and before the rubber bullets started flying

  Last night, Colorado State University fans descended on downtown Fort Collins to celebrate the Rams' out-of-the-blue 23-17 victory over the heavily favored CU Buffs in this year's Rocky Mountain Showdown. But what began as a good time devolved into a bummer when cops used rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. CU cops feared trouble at the game itself, held at Folsom Field in Boulder, and according to the Boulder Daily Camera, 75 fans were eventually ejected. But no one seems to have anticipated

• Mario Solis-Marich to stop "boof"-ing the CU Buffs

  Mario Solis-Marich.​A blog yesterday documented complaints from listeners about Mario Solis-Marich, a Los Angeles-based host for AM 760 who regularly refers to the CU Buffs as the "Boofs" -- a term whose first definition in the Urban Dictionary is: "Short for buttfuck." These gripes were shared with me personally, as well as on AM 760's online forum, where one commenter wrote, "So everytime he knowingly calls the CU team "b#ttf*ckers" because in his warped immature brain it's funny.

• Gambling with Homer: Down a Franklin but still feelin' good

  My girlfriend. Ha! I wish!​Hello, sports fans. My name is Homer Duggins and I've been a monster Denver devotee for, like, my whole life! When I was a kid, I totally asked my parents to paint my room blue and green for the Denver Zephyrs, and I wore black and gold to school every day for a year after the Buffs won the national championship in 1990. Man that was great. So this year, I've decided to put my money where my mouth's been -- and believe me, my mouth has been in a lot of places! I

  The Sports Column is a Steelers bar. So that'll be fun next weekend.​The World Series is in full swing, and although the Rockies didn't make it this year, just about every TV in every sports bar in town has been tuned to the match-up between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies. Fans of those two teams -- and there are plenty of them -- may not find comfort among the Rockies-loyal, but they can certainly find like-minded company at a couple of bars that cater to those from t
