Confessions of a Mad Buff Fan.

[Unleash Hell]

-I kicked a hole through my parents closet door after we lost to Kansas in '95
-I swung a hammer through the basement wall after we lost to Notre Dame in the OB
-I told a Nebraska fan that Nebraska sucks and they are the luckiest team on the planet after we lost to Nebraska in '99
-I charged the field after the ISU game in '94
-I have laughed and scoffed at a Nebraska fan wearing a blackshirtds shirt in '01 and told him, "The real blackshirts are kicking your ass right now!"
-I am taking my son who is not even a year old to 3 games this year.
-When momentum swings in a bad way while watching on TV, I will leave the room and come back.
-I have yelled at the top of my lungs outside my house after big wins
-I have yelled at the top of my lungs outside my house after ****** plays
-I almost got into an accident while clapping on a good play listening on the radio
-I wear buff clothes in Nebraska and Kansas when I go hunting.
- I always wear buff clothes when I go to Ft. Collins
-I will let people hear about it no matter what if they talk **** about the buffs

All the other married guys on here got nothing on you man. :wow:

Meh. Got text updates during my wedding reception (Oklahoma 2002--our honeymoon was delayed, BTW) and then snuck out of the reception to watch the fourth quarter.

 

[PhillyBuff]

-Got married 10/18/09 (K-State game, Hansen's first game), received a text during the vows and sneaked a peek at the score, 14-13

You are a moron.... any real fan doesn't even get married during football season because the fan knows that every 6-7 years they will have to miss a game...

 

[LaserDeathHawk]

- I'm pretty sure it was my foot that hit my girlfriend in the nose and broke in the dog pile after the miracle in Michigan. I blamed Josh all these years. Sorry.
- I used an extension cord to tie an overly decorated nubs fans car to another trucks tail pipe then watched them fight.
- I pointed and laughed when my roommate got hit with a trashcan lid in Norman.
- I tell every sports store in the state that they need to buy less Rams crap cause it won't ever sell.
- I wore a CU hat for every marathon I ran in Ft Collins.
- me and some friends are responsible for the great mcdonald's sign heist in ft Collins in 93. Surely the statute of limitations is over on that.
- I make my wife wear face paint at home if we're loosing. I would too but it's never worked.

 

[GoBuffs08]

I poured gasoline on my CU flag in the middle of the street and set it on fire after returning home from the lamb game in 2009.

 

[Mick Ronson]

--I met my future in-laws shortly before a CU game (I was watching on TV). My (future) wife went out for an hour with her folks, and when they returned to the bar where I was watching the game, they found me full-on hammered.

i've pulled a few of these. get "permission" (and still prolly sex that night) to watch a CU game at the sports bar with the idea that we've got some plans later that night. "i'll just nurse a beer or two, i'll be fine to meet your folks for dinner at the Med". i watched the 99 NU game at the Walrus, ran to some old buddies i used to play in a pool league with....and by halftime it was too late. i remember walking home down the alley thinking that the James pours a tall bourbon and if i have a couple of those i'll be right as rain for dinner. ready to charm the pants off some people i've 1. never met and 2. who's daughter i've been screwing like a porn star. for some reason, that plan (which made perfect sense at the time)....did not work.

gf: "did they win?"
me: "aawwwwawawa.....****, ****, ****...."
gf: "are you ready for dinner?.."
me: "errrrr....ahhh.....yuuuu....ssss....wuuhllll.....3 slices of Abo's....not hooongry"
gf: "my parents will be here in 15 minutes....god you stink"
me: "i'll beeee iinnnnn heeeeer...." (semi-controlled head-plant into the couch, which will be my home for the next few nights anyway)

Ronald called. Said he wants to talk to you.

I was at that game -- went with a friend from work (boomer fan, obviously) who had season tics.

I was the only Black-n-Gold dot in an ocean of red.

 

[Buffellow85]

-I wear buff gear to work every Friday before a game
-I mute the sound and pace the floor when watching a game on TV. By the end of a game, I'm usually exhausted
-I got drunk and puked all over the floor of the woman's bathroom at a CU-Kansas game in Lawrence. I used the women's room because I didn't want to mess up the men's in case I had to use the bathroom again.
-I ran into some lost Nebraska fans in Golden before the 62-36 game and purposely gave them the wrong directions on how to get to Boulder for the game.

 

[CUAviator]

-- I usually can't watch the games by the 4th quarter (if they're remotely close), and I spend the rest of the game wandering in and out of the room, muting and unmuting the sound, because I can't watch, and I can't not watch. My wife isn't amused when I reach this stage

Exactly - and it drives my wife CRAZY!

- I left my own farewell party early to watch CU get crushed by OU in 2004

- When I was stationed in Portugal, I would stay up until 4 AM to click refresh on ESPN.com gametrax (or whatever it's called)...even though I had to work on Sunday

- When I'm deployed, they know I can't be scheduled to fly until late sunday night so that I can stay up until 6 am to click refresh on ESPN.com gametrax (or whatever it's called)....AND THEN get 8 hours of sleep.

- I left my best friend's wedding reception early in 2003 so I could find a sports bar in the middle of Minneapolis (ick) so I would watch the Buffs lose to Baylor.

- I skipped my 10 year high school reunion so I could watch CU lose to Wisconsin in the Alamo Bowl.

- I made my wife and I late to the hospital for her induction for our first baby so that I could dry my favorite Buffs shirt in the laundry in order to make sure that I had it on when our daughter was born. (I made sure it was clean and ready for when my son was born).

- I sing my kids 2 songs at night. 1 = whatever bedtime song they want. 2 = CU Fight song. The best part is, if I pretend that I'm not going to sing the fight song, they get upset and tell me I "forgot a song".

 

[Mick Ronson]

--my confession is that i've been to way too many CU basketball games when you could hear people on the other side of the CEC having a regular, casual conversation during game play. after one of these, my nephew at age 9 who is now a CU frosh says to me while we are waiting in line for a slice at Abo's....."how 'come we always lose?".

hopefully, the days of being a die-hard, bag over the head CU hoops fan are coming to an end...

 

[PhillyBuff]

- My girlfriend (now wife) had to physically restrain me from rushing the field during the '94 Miami brawl

Just curious.... who was Miami playing in '94 that there was a brawl? I want to know what team you root for :nod:

Noice! We had a rule that I didn't fly on Sundays on cruise as well (or at least when I was the OIC, it was a rule).

Also, I was wearing the same CU shirt for both of my children's births. It's a keeper!

Rep for the third bullet!

 

[Dark Bohner]

- I too will walk out of the room or change the channel when I get too nervous during a Buffs game.
- I got in a fight with a nub fan after the 2007 CSU game at a party because he was talking crap about how CU compares to NU historically. I called him a border jumping Cornback and if he loved Nebraska so much he should move back to the dump.
-I rushed the field in 2002 when we beat mighty Iowa State to clinch the North division.

 

[HotRack]

Just curious.... who was Miami playing in '94 that there was a brawl? I want to know what team you root for :nod:

Might have gotten the year wrong (yep I did, '93 dammit), but it was the brawl in Boulder when our Compton badasses took on their Miami thugs and I (along with the rest of the student section in the end zone) wanted to go help the boys kick Miami's ass out of the stadium. The Rock played LB for Miami in that game and was already working on his WWE antics. ****er.

If only Kordell hand't been intercepted on that drive with 2:00 left - we'd've beat those assholes. Remember the front page picture in the Camera the next day - James Hill ripping the facemask off the Miami TE after he'd just pummeled his ass to the ground. ****ing Miami - I hope the NCAA ass-pounds them into submission.

NOTE: Soooo glad I was not working NROTC security for the stadium that day - being a junior had it's privileges.

 

[fervorfactor]

I may be wrong but I think that was the game (Warren Sapp taunting fans in the SW corner of the end zone) when the Miami cheerleaders tied ribbons on their ****ing Ibis mascot and ran it around the field, cheerleaders skipping and hopping like morons, mocking ralphie and the handlers. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Yep - you were there - I remember the same stuff. I was fueled by firewater, but a good thing Ms. NB96and the rest of the student section came to our senses. As someone in the crowd hollered, "WAIT! They have helmets, we DON'T!" Smart guy, that one...

 

[J.R. Ewing]

I broke up with my friend's girlfriend for him without his permission after 62-36. She said rushing the field was immature. They eventually got back together and got married after college. I was not invited to the wedding.

We would have won that game had we not had Big East officials doing the game. That was a BS PI call

 

[OrangeBowl]

-Took my (HS) homecoming date to Jose Muldoons so I could watch the first half of CU at Minnesota when Detmer had to start as a true freshman(she was miserable)
-Dad & I used to wear empty binocular cases around our necks and put a Coors Light in each side...we did this when they still sold beer at Folsom&I was in high school
-My best Christmas ever was 1986 when my parents took the family to the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston as our Christmas gift (we lost to Baylor though)
-I kept the cast from my broken leg autographed by Leon "Babybull" White (AKA Van Vader) for 15 years before my Mom threw it away after I moved to Florida(I'm still pissed at her)

I was making fun of the year... I was a junior also....

nice recall on the game...

The BIGGEST issue was the call on the 4 yard line..... with about 9 seconds to go.... We were called for an offensive facemask personal foul.... I beleive Bill Marolt ran on to the field at the officials after the game because of that....

and they were Big East officials that day....

Ray Lewis & the Rock were 2 of their starting linebackers.....

Looks like you did them a favor. Jerk.

Yeah - the officials screwed on that one - you and Unleash had better recall on that than me. Remember Marolt running out on the field as the replay in it's rudimentary form was up on the scoreboard. I remember yelling, "Holee ****! The AD's on the field!" **** Miami and **** the Big East - I hope they both die painful NCAA deaths.

Since we are confessing..... That was the only game that I actually verbally went after an opposing teams' fan..... I went after an older couple with full Miami gear on and let them have it.... I don't remember exactly what I said to them, but cheating, thugs, gang members, etc.... and I was giving it to them on the walk back from the stadium to the Hill....

 

[PhillyBuff]

Oh and I forgot.... that was back when the students could camp out at Folsom to get tickets.... somewhere around 2 am, there was a large "**** Miami, **** **** Miami! chant that Philly started....

 

[The Guest]

Burrito and I were getting beer when the fight broke out, and we missed the entire thing.

I do remember the BS facemask call though. The next day Woody's headline read "The Big East Officials Earn a Nice Bonus" or something along those lines. **** Miami.

 

[HotRack]

Aside from the partial threadjack talking about the '93 Miami game, Ms. NB96 had an interesting thought -

Would be kind of cool to see/know if the players read/could read our "confessions" here to know that there are rabid Buff Fans out there that support them and in many cases, would go to the mat for them to support their Buff family.

They'd probably all transfer to Iowa State.

Yeah, us 35 year olds are kind of creepy.

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

1988 road trip to Lincoln. We lose 7-0 (damn you, Flannigan!!!). Spiff and a few of his buddies grab the giant spotlights that are illuminating the state capital building that night and rotate the lights 180 degrees so the entire building goes dark.
