Buffzone mailbag

The Buffs get back to practice today to start the second week of spring ball and we're all filling out our NCAA Tournament brackets. Seems like a good time for another edition of the mailbag. Kyle, I read your article about WR Simas suspension being lifted and I was happy for him while reading his "learning experience" until I got to the part that ended "be smart, and, and if anything, I'll pass out wherever I [+]

Toney Clemons video interview

I spent a few minutes with Toney Clemons last week and thought I'd let CU fans hear from the junior wide receiver in this video interview. Enjoy. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95mj9a6qKpA[/youtube] [+]

Texas recruiting rarely big for CU

Let me start this blog by saying I'm not advocating that CU stop recruiting in Texas. In fact, it's just the opposite. I think the Buffs need to do a better job recruiting talent from the Lone Star state, especially in football. With a possible switch to the Pac-10 Conference in mind, some CU fans have raised concerns that leaving the Big 12 would kill recruting in Texas for the Buffs. I don't think it would [+]

Door is open for Simas

I crossed paths with CU wide receiver Markques Simas this week in the Dal Ward Center. He's not exactly the easy-going, fun-loving guy these days that he was at the end of last season after being arrested for DUI last month and suspended from the team indefinitely. He obviously has a lot on his mind, but it was good to see him doing his best to deal with the situation and not just completely bailing out. I [+]

Buffzone football mailbag

Spring football is less than two weeks away. It will be interesting to watch competition at most positions on the depth chart. There will definitely be some new faces contributing on Saturdays in the fall. It's time for another edition of the mailbag. Hey Kyle, Mike Bohn has been mentioning attendance figures a lot lately as proof the football team is on the right track and that fan support is still high.  Any chance he's forgotten how many [+]

Buffs and Utes have history

If the Pac-10 Conference invites Colorado to join its ranks later this year, a move that would take effect in 2012, the Buffs might be without a true conference rival, assuming Nebraska didn't leave the Big 12 for the Pac-10 along with CU. If the Buffs no longer play the Cornhuskers every year, Colorado State would probably become the big rivalry game each year.  After a few years of Pac-12 play, that could change, especially if [+]

Need a good laugh?

I love reading Every Day Should Be Saturday for comic relief every day. If you don't read it on a regular basis, let me suggest you bookmark it and give it a try. It will help get you through the offseason. I mention it because they had a pretty funny story about the Buffs today. Check it out. [+]
