We should take Ralphie to all road games and let her **** on the other team's logo at the center of the field. That will show them.
FSU does this on their home field, often with a celebrity spearer. last week 80 yr old Burt Reynolds stabbed the spear in the turf. the douchiness is when other teams mascots try to steal the spear. im looking at you, Ibis. Just like Ralphie, Chief Osceola a and Renegade generally only roadtrip to bowl games.
We should have Handler do it.
Or just have one of our tuba players do it. I don't know why, but it strikes me that the tuba players would be best for this.

A tradition like that on your home field can be cool. Attacking the home field's symbol in their house, not so cool.
Random thought: we can't have elderly celebrity guest Ralphie Handlers, but just imagining it lends itself to all kinds of dangerous scenarios.
Or hilarity...

When CU travelled to Tucson, the Buffs opened the game by running out on the field behind two players who were carrying large flags. One was the Stars and Stripes. The other was the Colorado state flag. Veterans were being honored, so the gesture was perfectly in context of the occasion.
When some of the fans around us booed the entrance of our Buffs, they were booing the symbol of our country and the honor of our service men and women. Having the opportunity to traitor-shame the home fans was priceless.
An enhancement to this team entrance would have been for the Buffs to carry a flag representing the home state of every player on the team. With 55 players from California plus representatives from 14 other states and Mexico, including , one from Arizona, the Buffs entrance would have had made an even more powerful symbolic statement. This is much better than violating the logo of the host.

Sean Tufts went back to CU to get his graduate degree and spent a year or two as a Ralphie Handler. This was 5 or 6 years ago.

Who was the guy maybe 3-4 years back who was Colorado's golden helmet winner, got injured and didn't play college ball at first, but became a Ralphie Handler? Then one of the weight guys saw him lifting (handlers have privileges at Dal Ward), said "you should go out for the team" and he played some? Pretty sure under Hawkins. Local kid.

Was it Tyler Sale?
Is Ralph Handler related to Gus? How does he wear his hair?

Thanks, that's the one.
Wow, this is cool. If I have it right, Tyler Sale was a Ralphie handler first and then on the team roster for the 2009 season. And, former CU linebacker Sean Tufts became a Ralphie handler in Sept. 2009, so they reversed roles, but were both at CU in those new roles the same season.
