Happy Halloween Buff Bites

Happy Halloween to all the readers of The Ralphie Report. May your alcohol intake be plentiful tonight.

How bad is it going to suck tomorrow that we have to plug in our AM/FM radio from the 90's and listen to the game. Come on Big 12, lets get a network.

Did you know:

CU's win over Kansas State is the only time in 24 conference games played when the winning team scored fewer than 20 points. More than half the time (13 of 24 games), the winning team has reached 40 points. Almost a third (seven times) have reached 50.

The Buffs are average 10.5 points in Big 12 conference play which is good for dead last in the league, a full 10 points behind Baylor.

The Buffs going to try something creative like gadget plays? According to the Denver Post they are:

"We had a couple against Missouri that we didn't end up using, based on the situation," Helfrich said. "So we just kept them in our pocket for down the road."

Better learn to run our base stuff first.

This just makes me want to hit someone (see bolded section):

Player to watch: WR Josh Smith.

One of CU's few breakaway threats, Smith ranks second among Big 12 players in all-purpose yards, behind only Missouri All-American Jeremy Maclin. But Smith has caught more than one pass in only one of the four conference games, when the sophomore averaged just 9 yards on four receptions against Missouri.

Woody Paige of the Denver Post gets all postive on the Buffs, making a claim that the Buffs could win the next four. Yes, he did finish his story with the phrase "put that in your pipe and smoke it."

A good article from the Boulder Daily Camera around the new & improved Texas A&M offense and QB Jerrod Johnson.

How many endangered species references are we going to get this season?

Colorado (4-4, 1-3 Big 12) is threatening to add points to the state’s endangered list.

I agree the Smith stat is very troubling. The trick plays don’t surprise me, as that was actually my intial gut reaction to the “simplify the offense” talk, in the bizarro season we are in I figured that meant WR reverses and HB passes.

And no radio necessary, I will be watching the revolution live. Let’s do this thing.

Just for the record

The alcohol intake will be awesome. Last night was spent prepping around 60 different drinks for party tonight, complete with rum soaked cherries. Omnomnomnomnom

I know the usual stations to try, but can you tell me which station(s) might carry the game so I don’t have to sit in my car spinning the dial and searching?
Maybe I’ll just circle through drive-through windows at various fast food places for the entire game.
