Ralphie in Tempe

[Unleash Hell]

Mike Bohn just confirmed that Ralphie will be making the trip to Tempe when the Buffs play Arizona State.:thumbsup:

Last year the buffs outplayed and beat Georgia for 3 3/4 quarters when Ralphie made the trip, hopefully it's a good omen and the buffs finish this time.

[unionbuff]

The entire band and Ralphie. :thumbsup:

We are going to shock some people with how many CU fans are going to show up at that game. It's going to be a fun weekend and hopefully will be CU's 2nd win of the season!

:gobuffs:

[Highwalker]

I wanna go!!!!!!!:cry:


I'm anxiously waiting for those 3 lovely and spine tingling words......


"Heeeeeeeeere comes Ralphie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[92Buff]

You had to go and say that...now that's all I have in my head.

I am not travelling to the game this year (taking the kids to DisneyWorld) - but will be sneaking out of my hotel room and catching a cab to the nearest bar that will be televising the game that night.

Ralphie in Atlanta was hilarious. It was all anyone wanted to talk about - and the crowd she drew outside of the CU Tailgater was unbelievable. On her first run, I was holding some Georgia kids up so they could see her over the crowd. I swear that about 80K+ of those people may have never seen a live Buffalo before in their lives...

:gobuffs:

Amen, 2-0 heading into a prime time nationally televised game against Florida St would be a good setup for CU to make a statement that they are on their way back.

Ok lets just worry about beating CSU first, but I do think the first two games are very winnable to set that up like that wth FSU.

[sackman]

We're taking the whole band, too? Damn. That will be a lot of folks down there. How many tickets have we been allocated? From what I can gather, we've just about sold out our allotment already.

Definitely looking forward to this game. Good crowd, good football. Good tailgating. Good times.

:thumbsup:

[Highwalker]

If by some miracle I am able to make this game, who's hotel floor can I crash on? :smile2:

We'll swing by your place on the way down and pick you up. You can crash in our car. You'll love it. :thumbsup:

Awesome! I'm all set then

[CU827]

Screw that going to Tempe to watch the Buffs...who's coming Waco to watch the Baylor game?:thumbsup:

[Duff Man]

Screw that going to Tempe to watch the Buffs...who's coming Waco to watch the Baylor game?:thumbsup:

I've thought about it. Seriously.

But it's freaking Waco.

[Skidmark]

Wacko-waco. I'm down for that. I need to get the taste out of my mouth from season's OT loss. Still makes me sick to my stomach. Ditto from 2003.

[Duff Man]

Yeah, there is absolutely no way their winning streak over us should reach 3.

[leftybuff]

Run her down Mill St. Yahooooooo:smile2:

[CU827]

But it's freaking Waco.

I got transfered to Dallas a month ago so I have to go to that game. What sucks is my transfer destination was between Dallas and Phoenix. I would have rather had Phoenix.

Yeah, Waco is a pretty short drive from DFW so I'm sure I will end up going as well. I think lb and I are planning on going to Lubbock for the Sand Aggy game as well. It don't get much better than Waco and Lubbock.:smile2:

go to the Orlando Ale House.:thumbsup:

they have a ton of locations all over Fl. i used to drive 45 minutes to the Jenson Beach Ale House for the CU games when i lived in Vero Beach. never had a problem getting them to put the CU game on a TV for me.

very good food and a boat load of tv's. the ossobuco is very good.

i bought tickets to the asu game for myself, my wife, our friend who just moved to phoenix and her roommate, who i found out is from nebraska. i got to meet him a few weekends ago, and he is pretty cool, but still it is a little odd. he told me that he always wanted to go to a game in boulder, but is scared of what our fans would do to him. he has heard all of the rumors (and i am sure some truths), and told me all about it. in any case he has offered us a free place to stay and to take us around the town, but with all that being said, he still cannot wear red, and i will have a nice CU shirt for him to wear.

nice! A fusker in black and gold. Make sure you take plenty of pics for blackmail purposes. :smile2:

Wasn't Ralphie IV retired at the end of last season? Awesome.

but if you are staying on Disney property then go to
'Disney's Boardwalk Resort' as there is an ESPN Zone
there. You may need to make sure they will stay open past
1 a.m. since the game doesn't even start till after
10 p.m. on the east coast.

[Marching Buff]

Wasn't Ralphie IV retired at the end of last season? Awesome.

This year is going to be a transition period. They have Ralphie V right now but she is really hard to train.
Ralphie IV was saved from the clutches of a wolf when she was still a calf and raised by humans who nursed her after the herd shunned her away. So the training was easy. But Ralphie V has been picked out of the herd and so she's a lot more feisty and irate. It's gonna take some time before she's even close to being ready.

They should take that irate Ralphie V and have her knock that pussy CAM the Ram into the stands at Invesco.:thumbsup:

Then they are not looking hard enough becuase there is a Buffalo herd in Gainesville, Fla.

Awesome, so V will be like Ralphie III.

[MiamiBuffs]

I recall her being very fast compared to IV. She'd drag the runners around the field.

Thanks for the advice. I will look it up and make sure I get there...I reckon I will be the only Colorado fan there that night but I am sure I can make a lot of friends.:thumbsup:

Unfortunately - we don't check in until the next day or that would be where I would go. We are seeing Sea World on Saturday and then "hungover but happy" dad will be checking in the next morning.

Exactly. She was larger than IV as well.

I love watching Ralphie do something unexpected...especially when it is chasing the other team off of the sideline when they come out too early.

[sackman]

I don't know if any of you were around to see Ralphie I do her thing, but she was by far the most exhuberant of all the Ralphies. It was very common for her to shed one or more of her handlers. Once, and I swear this is the truth, she shed them ALL and ran right out of the stadium. They caught up with her down at Crossroads. :lol:

[FlaBuff]

92Buff--there is a local bar called JB's just past Unversal Studios that is also excellent. Ale Houses are excellent for food, but lack the big screen tvs. at JB's chances are you can get a huge screen for the buffs. I live on the west side of disney and I'll let you know if any Buffs will be gathering.

FYI; there is a ESPN bar on the Boardwalk at Disneyworld. Enjoy!

D'oh! Sorry ITB; didn't read far enough to get to your post.

Scrwe the Ale House...you're staying at WDW? Which resort?
Head over to the Boardwalk area by Epcot and watch the game at the ESPN Club. They'll have it on, and you'll still be ensconced by Disney! You won't have to pay for a cab, and you can get anywhere on property within 15 minutes of leaving your hotel room.

I'm a Disney freak...and a buff lover...does that make me a Disney Buff?

Which Ralphie almost took out Dr. Tom in Folsom?

<Chris Farley>That was AWESOME!</Chris Farley>

[Buffarino]

Awesome! I'm all set then

You're gonna be married by then, right? If so, no more crashing on hotel room floors for you...:smile2:

[Highwalker]

Best Ralphie Ever......should have just dropped the leads

[92Buff]

Awesome picture...Will make a great wallpaper for my PC at home...

[96 Buff]

Ralphie III.

Ralphie III.

That's what I was thinking but I couldn't remember when it happened.

[Highwalker]

You're gonna be married by then, right? If so, no more crashing on hotel room floors for you...:smile2:

She would not be coming, so floors still work!!:thumbsup:

[Tatanka]

If by some miracle I am able to make this game, who's hotel floor can I crash on? :smile2:

Actually HF, I might be able to do better than that for you, or any other Allbuffers in need. I just scored on a house in Scotsdale for the weekend and as of right now, am the only one staying there. Best part about it, is it's FREE. The owner is a general contractor that is finishing up one of our projects down at the Academy. He just happens to be an ASU grad and has a company house available for use. Very cool dude so I'm almost sure he wouldn't mind if a few friends joined me. He is actually hoping to break away from work and family to make the trip also, but won't know for a few weeks. He was trying to fill me in on all the spots to hit there, so it should be a blast either way. Now I just need to get a ticket next to the CU section. I'll know more after a few weeks, but keep me posted....

Okay....now I really need to get these couple of deals closed before 9/8....Buffs in Tempe, I got to be there.

[chipwich]

From RMN.. :sad1:

"Because of expected hot weather and possible travel stress, Ralphie IV will sit out the Arizona State trip (Sept. 8)"

Bummer.

[Tatanka]

****, that sucks!

Oh well, still have the house, anyone need a place to crash?
