Darrell Scott- Are we the leader now?

Fraser Colorado - Icebox of the nation

Kinda of timely, it's in the second paragraph.
Looks like Fraser is all of about 30-35 miles west of Boulder.

I can't believe that I'm actually weighing in on this, but Frazer and Boulder are completely unrelated climates, mostly due to elevation. It's sort of like saying that the top of Mauna Kea (at 14,000 feet) is similar to that of Hilo, since they are only separated by 40 miles or so. Last month it was 4 degrees on top of Mauna Kea and 81 in Hilo. Elevation, people.

That said, if it's 16 degrees in Boulder no one in their right mind should give a **** how much colder it is in Frazer.

Well, that was 5 minutes of my life I will never get back.
 
Me too! I kind of felt bad going to pick them up at their hotel in Houston. At least I wore a plain black shirt. Best seats I had that entire year, except for the Baylor game in Waco.
 
I actually went to pick up mine in my Longhorn gear. They just laughed and made a couple of jokes about me cheating the system.

They all knew what was coming...well, they knew they were going to lose, I am not sure any of us expected 70-3 in the third quarter.
 
If we'd have known in 2005 that we'd be fighting with Colorado over Scott, we would have gone ahead and dropped 120 on them in the B12CG. And if I were Scott and knew about that commute I would have to make from Fraser, I would say forget it.
 
Ha, I remember that day well, watching the game in Georgia. It's probably the only time in my life I was happy to see Mack take the foot off the opponents throat a bit.
 
That was just awful. CU had completely imploded at that point.

I remember knowing that CU would get killed, but talking myself into believing they could shock the world. 4 minutes in reality set in.
 
Bigpetehookem,
While I am Texas born-and-bred, I must tell you that Stephen F Austin was no "kick *** revolutionary." He was a settler, operating under Mexican immigration laws, who spent almost his entire political career working to improve relations with the Mexican government and establish Texas as a separate Mexican state from Coahuila. An active supporter of Santa Anna's rise to power, Austin was actually in Mexico City trying to negotiate Mexican statehood for Texas and moderate what he felt were too-harsh demands by Texas settlers when the revolution broke out back home.

Upon his return, he was appointed a commissioner to the U.S., and shipped off to New Orleans, where he spent the duration of the war. He wasn't even in Texas when the March 2nd Constitution was signed, when the Battle of San Jacinto was fought, or when Santa Anna was captured, He didn't even learn of Texas' victory until two months later, in June, and he didn't return to Texas until August.

Upon his return after the war, he unsuccessfully ran for President of Texas, losing to Sam Houston, garnering less than 10% of the votes. (Actually, he came in 3rd; Henry Smith came in second). He died just a couple of months thereafter, in December 1836, just eight months after the Battle of San Jacinto.

As I said, I'm a loyal, native Texan, but let's not re-write history.
 
I remember telling my buddies that we needed to be on the beer drinking level for that Big 12 game regardless. Only one of my buddies agreed. We got pretty good seats about 10 rows up in the endzone, the rest of my group got seats in the arena level about 30 rows up on the 40.

After 6 or 7 24oz. beers and laughing our *** off at the drunks in our section, we made our way down to the rest of our group in the lower level. We were drunk as hell and loving it. They were about asleep, ready to leave and extremely jealous of us.

Good times. I bet they listen to me in the future.

Yeah, it was the "club" level I think. It was the only level in the whole stadium that you could drink on. They were checking tickets hard in that level.

We were in the endzone that it seemed like all of the TDs were scored in. They started running short on beer after halftime.

Made the whole game worth it. It was pretty rowdy towards the end of the game. Some people were rather funny.

We didn't pay more than $100 for the tickets....

And this post needs to stay at the top until at least Wednesday.
 
I had 35 yard club level seats for that game. It rocked. We had eight seats total - four up and behind us. I was not at all bored: I lived through a lot of bad Buff beats in my day. Payback is a... you know.
