This fall the Buffs areÌýlooking for their first win in Michigan since the famousÌý1994 miracle game.

On Sept. 17, when the Buffs take on the UniversityÌýof Michigan Wolverines for the first time since 1997,Ìýthey’re hoping for a strong alumni presence in TheÌýBig House in Ann Arbor. The Alumni AssociationÌýwill be there uniting and exciting CU fans at a freeÌýpre-kickoff Buffs Bash.

We’ll also rally Forever Buffs on the road at Pac-12Ìýrivals Oregon, Southern Cal, Stanford and Arizona.ÌýEach family-friendly Buffs Bash has music, prizes andÌýappearances by the CU Spirit Team and mascot Chip.ÌýConcession-style food will be available for purchase.ÌýNot that we’d shirk our duties back in Boulder: WeÌýhost Ralphie’s Corral, the official CU tailgate, threeÌýhours before each home-game kickoff.ÌýThis free event on Benson Field offers photo opsÌýwith Ralphie and her handlers, performances by theÌýCU Marching Band and Spirit Team, giveaways, concession-style food and drinks and activities for kids.Ìý
