I'll go with Greg Jones - was solid when not outstanding, grew up in Denver, won a ton of games as a Buff, and had a nice little NFL career.

58 days to go!
This is going to be an awesome day due to the new Pac-12 TV deal. The Big 12 is no longer visible in the rearview mirror.
We got a couple of good players who wore #58 for the Buffs:
Mark Fenton, C
Ryan Johanningmeier, OG/T
Since I was away on the east coast during college during his days, I would just go with Fenton in this case. We have had many good OL over the years and are blessed to have quite that number of recruits every year in Colorado.

Did you know the Utah Utes have a countdown timer leading up to the day we join the Pac-10? It's showing 56 days to go and will be soon be 55 days...it's possible that they are using June 30 as the day but that is the day both CU and Utah leave their conferences and our membership is effective July 1st. I will be happy to follow that timer. I wish the CU site would do something like that.
The best CU players to wear #56 are
Tyronee Bussey, DE
Don Karnoscak, LB/C
Bill Roe, LB
Ron Woolfork, LB
As for #55
Don Fairbanks, LB/DT
Brian McCabe, LB
Ryan Olson, DT
Bart Roth, LB

RIP Tyronee "Tiger" Bussey
clarification: single season sacks = Woolfork, career sacks = Alfred
Actually Dan McMillen has that record.:smile2:
I only know this from looking it up while playing NCAA11.

It seems like the timer on Utah's site laps at noon so it shows just under 55 days to go so 54 more days to go!
CU greats that wore #54:
PeteBrock, C
Marcus Burton, ILB
RockyMartin, LB
SeanTufts, ILB
I think this is pretty obvious and the best player to wear that number was Tufts.

All of the above were pretty good players, though Pete Brock was a first-team All-American (Sporting News) in 1975.
Brock was a first-round NFL pick in 1976, going to the New England Patriots with the No. 12 overall pick. Overall, he played 12 seasons in the NFL, and played in 154 games in his NFL career.

None of the players really jump out, but I'll go with Adam Reed, as he is the most contemporary of the four. Reed was a three-year letterman from 1996-98. A transfer from Northwestern, Reed, originally from Boulder high, started all 12 games at center in 1996, then started the first nine games of 1997 before suffering sprained knee ligaments against Iowa State, missing the final two games of the season. Reed suffered a biceps muscle tear in the spring of 1998, and only started two games his senior season.
One thing the other three players had in common - Larry Ferraro was a center (1963-65); Kevin Hood was a linebacker (1980-82) and Walt Klinker was a center (1959-61) - aside from each of the three being three-year lettermen. All three played at 200 pounds ... certainly a sign of how things have changed over the years (Adam Reed, for example, played at 290 pounds).
So, the real question is: Why is it that when I gain weight, it's considered to be a bad thing? :huh:

DBT, nice find. I didn't know that Biekert wore #53 but it did suck watching him play for the Raiders. I did see him signing autographs in his hometown mall when that mall wasn't the dump it is right now. Westminster Mall will have a date with the wrecking ball and Twin Peaks probably isn't far behind.
Shows how old I am. I framed a jewlry store in The Twin Peaks Mall when it was under construction. :scared2:

Totally off subject, but the Twin Peaks Mall is on it's very last legs. Occupancy is probably right around 20% now. The owner wants big tax incentives to redevelop. The city isn't willing to do that. It's too expensive to condemn. My best guess is that it'll take a combination of the city willing to give a little on incentives and a new buyer coming in with a different plan to get the are redeveloped. It's in a good spot. All the stuff around the mall does really well. It's the mall itself that is having problems.

One negative about if they did tear down Twin Peaks is that it would give Wal-Mart incentive to build a new large Wal-Mart and then abandon the current Wal-Mart that is near Twin Peaks. Target did the same thing on Colfax Avenue in Lakewood between Simms and Kipling after they put in a new Super Target at Colorado Mills mall.
I think I'd do the same thing if I was the owner of that mall.

I would go with Tony Berti as well. First-team All Big Eight in 1994, and an honorable mention All-American. :congrats:
The last of ten (10!) Buffs selected in the 1995 draft, Berti had a four-year NFL career with San Diego and Seattle.
