It鈥檚 that time of year again: nervous freshmen are moving in, the bookstore is buzzing, and the ever-popular syllabus week is in full swing. The beginning of the year is an exciting time for all Buffs; although it鈥檚 bittersweet to say goodbye to summer, an exciting new year awaits us, filled with friends, fun, caffeine, and鈥� studying until 4 a.m. in Nolin every now and then.
The beginning of the year also marks a special time, as we prepare to break out our black and gold and head on down to the state capitol for not only the first, but the most important football game of the season: Buffs vs. Rams.
This Friday, Aug. 29, marks the annual Rocky Mountain Showdown at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. We Buffs take pride in our city, our school, and our team, and it鈥檚 time once again to support the Buffs in Denver as they take on Colorado State. While we all share the excitement for this important game, it鈥檚 worth remembering that your actions at the stadium reflect on our university, our students, and our legacy.
We all know that the rivalry between CU and CSU is in overdrive this time of year, and that emotions can run high. But, it鈥檚 important to remember that inappropriate behavior has repercussions not only down Denver, but back home, too. We take pride in our university, so let鈥檚 take the responsibly seriously for showing our state that the Buffaloes value good sportsmanship.
Think before you act, take care of one another, have fun, and stand proud, Shoulder to Shoulder.
GO BUFFS!
