Dear Buffaloes,
You laid a bloody massacre in Denver on your in-state rival last week. After the game, all reporters and spectators left there without a doubt in their mind who was the better team. Hats off to you to a hell of a start, let's keep it in mind... That's exactly what it was the start.
This weekend, you prepare for this team from Idaho State to come into your home and play you at a game you've already played with great heart. On September 10th, the defense of your homeland begins. Do not doubt your enemy, for they have nothing to lose.
You have spent countless hours practicing, planning, and training in the shadows of the Flatirons, a natural beauty of Boulder. In all honesty, those are your mountains. Those mountains stand high into the sky, while also beneath your feet. You have conquered this land in Colorado. In your heart, they may be a swelling of pride and anger as the game approaches. Good, that's how it should be.
Be proud of what you've done. Keep in mind that the laurels of yesterday will not allow you a place to rest your head tonight. Be protective of what you have earned. Be offended that this team can come into your house and have any belief they can hang with you and your team.
For us Buffs, those who have attended and graduated, those currently attending, and those who will, you are one of the brightest jewels in this coronated college. Be proud of where you are and who surrounds you.
When you storm out of that tunnel with fury and heart, the opponent stands no chance in stopping such a force of football. We stand with you, as the herd, shoulder to shoulder. We will run with you, in spirit and through thundering cheers, as the stampede. Roll up that mighty score!
Go Buffs,
Cole

Dear Buffaloes: Open Letter to CU Football
Friday Freestyle
7/22/2016
Dear Buffaloes,
As a graduate of University of Colorado, Class of 2013, our football team's record was 1-11 and that one victory came during an away game. It left us, the students and the fans, with something to desire. Now there's been three other football seasons since the fall of 2012, and I've seen ten victories on the football field over that time.
As a proud alum, a Forever Buff, I'm very passionate about University of Colorado from its academics to its athletics to its aesthetics. I am waiting for this season with bated breath. I ask you to do one thing for me, forget those past years. Anything can happen, and I believe you will emerge as outstanding players, coaches, and Buffaloes.
Go outside, look up at the flatirons. Playing football in Boulder is a true blessing, you get to stand among the mountains everyday. There are only three places you can be when you stand among the mountains, you can stand in the valleys hiding in the shadows of its past, you can continue to climb that mountain, or you can stand atop its peak. Where would you prefer to be? Standing atop the mountain should be your answer, you've been climbing since last season ended.
This season fast approaches, the emotions will run high as you prepare to face Colorado State in Denver. Just remember, there are thousands of proud alumni standing with you and cheering for you. Our greatest power is the Stampede. Our herd is strong, loyal, and dominant. Take the field every weekend with violence, force, and passion; show them the mighty power of the Buffaloes. Make them hesitate, stagger their step, knock the wind out of their sails.
I believe in you, as a team you can win every game this year. Live with a great heart, play with immense spirit, and applaud each other through every victory, both on and off the field. We all bleed black and gold, it's a bond shared between current, former, and future CU students. I am with you, as are so many others, shoulder to shoulder. Although we are not on the field with you, we are fighting with you, we are supporting you, and we stand with you. We are the Stampede.
Go Buffs,
