New Building Initiatives at the University of Colorado—Boulder The University of Colorado has seen an explosion of new construction the past few years, with some phenomenal results. This fall, construction was complete on both the Wolf Law Building and the ATLAS building—both of which feature cutting edge technology and incredible architecture. Current projects include the renovation of the Business School, which will reopen in the fall of 2007 and major improvements and projects on various fields around campus. Most notably, there will be a new and improved Farrand Field, also set to finish during the 2007 fall semester. In addition, there is talk of a 24-hr study wing to Norlin library, and a brand new, state of the art Art and Architecture building. |

Homecoming Upset!! The University of Colorado Buffaloes upset the #3 Oklahoma Sooners last weekend in a stunning Homecoming victory of 27-24! Buff fans and players alike held their breath as the clock ran out during Kevin Eberhart’s field goal attempt. It seems Dan Hawkins and the Buffaloes have finally come together—as faithful Buff fans knew they would. On a Saturday full of upsets, the CU/Oklahoma game was by far the best. It was sweet redemption in the face of an extremely rocky past few years. Delivering a blow that knocked the Oklahoma Sooners down to #10 in national rankings, the University of Colorado Buffaloes began to resemble the program of old, where wins of this caliber were not considered upsets but probabilities. Stay tuned as the Hawkins’ era in Boulder turns a new page! It will no doubt be exciting, and perhaps even more stunning then we saw this last weekend. |

Buffalo Basketball Basketball season opens this Friday (Nov 9) for the University of Colorado men’s team, and next Friday (Nov 16) for the women’s team. Both the men and women face tough schedules, as they will each play a number of teams that made it to the tournaments last year in addition to a traditionally tough Big 12 conference schedule. The men also have a new coach, Jeff Bzdelik, who coached at the Air Force Academy the past two years, where he was highly successful. Buff fans are hopeful that he can bring much of that success to the University of Colorado. We shall see what the season brings! |

Rough Days in Buffalo Country After a heart breaking loss to Missouri at home last week, the Buffaloes hope to rebound against Iowa State this Saturday. The game should be interesting. In spite of Iowa State’s losing record this year, they did manage to beat Kansas State (who we lost to a few weeks ago). Keep your fingers cross Buff fans. If we win this one, we become bowl eligible! |

Heartbreaking Loss in Iowa! The University of Colorado’s bowl eligibility hopes have to wait until after Thanksgiving. CU was hoping to clinch their sixth win against Iowa State last week, but suffered a heartbreaking loss in the end. To make matters worse, two field goal attempts that would have put the Buffaloes into overtime were called back by two suspicious calls by the referee. Now CU faces its last regular season game against Nebraska next week. Nebraska, who hasn’t looked so good this year, pulled off a big win last weekend. So the Buffs face a challenge in the traditionally exciting Thanksgiving weekend event! |

Good Sports News for Colorado Although the University of Colorado football team has struggled the last few weeks, Colorado sports fans had a few other victories to cheer about!

Also making for a happy fall is the fact that the Colorado Avalanche have logged a phenomenal start the season! The Colorado College and DU hockey teams have followed suit, with what promises to be very exciting seasons. |
