Buffs Vs. WolverinesÌý

This fall the Buffs areÌýlooking for their first win in Michigan since the famousÌý1994 miracle game.

On Sept. 17, when the Buffs take on the ³Ô¹ÏÍøÌýof Michigan Wolverines for the first time since 1997,Ìýthey’re hoping for a strong alumni presence in TheÌýBig House in Ann Arbor. The Alumni AssociationÌýwill be there uniting and exciting CU fans at a freeÌýpre-kickoff Buffs Bash.

We’ll also rally Forever Buffs on the road at Pac-12Ìýrivals Oregon, Southern Cal, Stanford and Arizona.ÌýEach family-friendly Buffs Bash has music, prizes andÌýappearances by the CU Spirit Team and mascot Chip.ÌýConcession-style food will be available for purchase.ÌýNot that we’d shirk our duties back in Boulder: WeÌýhost Ralphie’s Corral, the official CU tailgate, threeÌýhours before each home-game kickoff.ÌýThis free event on Benson Field offers photo opsÌýwith Ralphie and her handlers, performances by theÌýCU Marching Band and Spirit Team, giveaways, concession-style food and drinks and activities for kids.Ìý
