I admit it. As one Boulderite to another, I am addicted. The rapidity of the addiction is scary, and I caution all of you! Beware of the addictive Lady Buffs’ Basketball! After only ONE game, against UCLA, I have already gotten tickets for tomorrow, Sunday’s game. PAC 12 USC is visiting, hopefully for the lessons that our BUFFS are happy to teach them! There are many reasons for my sudden addiction, including discovering that I enjoy the superstar women’s play more than the men’s basketball games. I like the skill, the heart, the speed, and the vibes. I like the length... Read More

  First, the less good news. Boulder‘s beloved and respected Lady Buffs were beaten tonight. Now for the rest of the story. WHAT A GAME!!! The score was within a couple of points or tied for most of the game. Only at the end did UCLA pull ahead. The fantastic crowd expressed verbal displeasure with some of the officiating. From what I could see, I’m with the crowd on this one. And what a crowd it was! 11,600 people, ALL of whom were a pleasure to share the room with. While of course disappointed that our Lady Buffs did not win this one, the game was fantastic, and the entire evening... Read More

It should come as no surprise to any Boulderite that Boulder Canines are huge LADY BUFF fans! And while we will be gracious hosts as would be expected of Boulder, UCLA will leave town having lost to the Lady Buffs. They’ll leave with their tails between their legs, like lost abandoned dogs. No disparagement to the pups intended <G> Speaking of lost dogs, one of the greatest places to find a new family member already waiting for you is at the Humane Society. These adoptable pups are not “second-class” in any sense of the word. They come in all sizes and colors and breeds,... Read More

Wake Up, Then Look At This Picture. THEN With A Huge Grin, Face Friday!  Photo Lenny Lensworth Frieling More Boulder Magic is based on location when we look into the Denver Zoo. Easy drive, easy parking, reasonable prices, especially memberships on sale, and a slew of slivering slimy savvy sorts of animals from all over the world. With a focus on protecting the more threatened animal species, the habitats have been and are being built with the comfort and sanity of the animals in mind. Our Denver “guests” think that they are the audience and that we zoo visitors are the daily year... Read More

Fido Friday and the Lady Buffs-UCLA match up are approaching FAST! We have general admission so we’ll go over around noon tomorrow.  Camera in hand of course! Earplugs! Leaving UCLA in the Background, Our Lady Buff Scores a Layup for 2. 3’s Are NOT Uncommon!

One of the difficulties of trying to write a weekly Colorado sports article is focusing on the biggest story of the week, and timing it within the deadline provided.  Follow that up with the challenge of informing and entertaining the reader in 600 words or less, and the problem becomes compounded.  Within the last ten days the Colorado Rockies had a playoff series, the Denver Broncos played twice, the CU Buffs traveled to USC, the Colorado Avalanche were five games into the start of the hockey season, while the Denver Nuggets were just hours from their NBA opener. And that’s just Colorado! ... Read More

While the Denver Broncos try and decide whether Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch should start at quarterback in 2017, the smart play is for John Elway to roll the dice again on a 35-year-old veteran to save the day. Long before Siemian and Lynch were in diapers and throwing tantrums, Phillip Rivers was in the NFL throwing touchdowns. With an elite defense and Super Bowl aspirations, Denver can’t afford growing pains. Here are five reasons that Phillip Rivers could transform the Broncos into a Super Bowl contender. 1) It takes about five years of experience to really excel at the quarterback... Read More
