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.
