Saturday Highlight Reel & Buff Bites - Is it Game Day yet?

28 Days Later...  I mean Left.

 Crisp, efficient first CU workout - The Denver Post 

If observers didn't know it, they might have guessed that Colorado's practice on Thursday was the 20th of August camp rather than the first.

'Paperwork' Prevents Patterson's Day 1 Participation - CUBuffs.com - It may just be a formality, but it just irks me that Patterson wasn't able to participate in the inital camp practice.

"We're working through a paperwork deal on him, so we're just waiting on other folks to get to all that stuff," Hawkins said. Asked if the process appeared to be a formality, he answered, ''Yeah, yeah . . . it seems like there's always some of that" to deal with at this time of year.

Three CU foes in coaches top 25 - The Denver Post - The Preseason Coaches top 25 is out, and from our schedule you have Oklahoma (#8), Nebraska (#9), and Georgia (#21) that made the list.  The also-rans (also receiving votes) are Mizzou, Cal, and Tech.
