The Buffs open a new era today as they take on Hawaii. At stake is the Buffs 18 road game losing streak not to mention the need to reconnect with Buffs fans and donors who became disillusioned and snubbed by Dan Hawkins and his indifference to the tradition of Colorado football. And I’m excited beyond words because starting today and every day the Buffs play a game, I’ll be doing Buffs cartoons for the Boulder Daily Camera and their Buff Zone coverage. Most of the time that will be on Saturday. Later in the season the Buffs have a few games on Friday, so I’ll be drawing for that. Here’s the Buffs 2011 schedule, considered the most difficult in the nation. 2011 Buff Football Schedule Date/time Opponent Location T.V. info Sat., Sept 03, 8:15 p.m. Hawaii at Honolulu, Hawaii ESPN2 Sat., Sept 10 California Boulder TBD Sat., Sept 17, 11:30 a.m. Colorado State at Denver, CO FSN/ROOT Sat., Sept 24 Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio TBD Sat., Oct 1 *Washington State (Family Weekend) Boulder TBD Sat., Oct 8 *Stanford at Palo Alto, California TBD Sat., Oct 15 *Washington at Seattle, Washington TBD Sat., Oct 22 *Oregon (Homecoming) Boulder TBD Sat., Oct 29 *Arizona State at Tempe, Arizona TBD Fri., Nov 4, 7 p.m. *Southern California Boulder ESPN2 Sat., Nov 12 *Arizona Boulder TBD Sat., Nov 19 *UCLA at Pasadena, California TBD Fri., Nov 25, 1:30 p.m. *Utah at Salt Lake City, Utah FSN/ROOT * Conference Games
