Buff Tourney T-shirts

These Buff Tourney T-shirts (designed by ours truly) are hot off the presses and available at the CU bookstore, The Blake Street Watch Party and in Albuquerque at the Pit (for those of you lucky Buffs with tickets). I think they are going for about 10 bucks.

And prints of my “Snub This” Cartoon are now available for purchase by clicking on the Boulder Daily Camera link.

Dispatches from the Drawing Board

• I think the Buffs can beat UNLV and advance to the next round. CSU vs. Marshall…I don’t feel so good about.
• For the record CU contacted me about doing the T-shirts. I never heard from CSU but would have gladly done the same. Honestly, I think my Sunday morning cartoon in the Boulder Daily Camera (Snub This!) caught the attention of The Buffs Sports Information Director, Dave Plati and CU AD, Mike Bohn, and I had a very kind word put into the Assistant AD, Cory Hilliard, there as well by my friend, Peg DeLeo. Plati called me right after the Buffs  got the bid. I had the t-shirt art to them by noon on Monday.
• A big thanks To Charles F. Luce, another friend of mine who badgered the folks at CU to make the T-shirt available to a larger number of folks.
• I tried to sell the Ft Collins paper on the idea of doing a weekly cartoon for the football season just like I did at the Daily Camera in Boulder. I never got a reply from the paper in Ft. Collins. Not even an e-mail to say “Thanks” but “No Thanks”. Such is the nature of the business.
• Believe me I’d be happy to draw for them as well.
• Working on a freelance basis for the Boulder Daily Camera is a blast. I worked with Jen Osieczanek at the Rocky Mountain News back in the day before she went on to bigger and better things as the sports editor of the Camera.
• The Broncos will miss free agency if this Peyton Manning thing drags on much longer.
• Personally, I think Josh McDaniels has something to do with it.
