University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

My favorite tradition is when our buffalo mascot, Ralphie, runs around the football field at the beginning of each half at home football games. Six "Ralphie Runners" run with Ralphie around the field and take care of him at a secret location off campus, and they dress up like cowboys/cowgirls. It's amazing to see our powerful mascot at every game because it brings to life our powerful school pride. CU's colors, gold and silver, are also a great tradition because they represent the richness of Colorado. The colors represent a purity in our intentions and actions, and gold and silver are easy to recognize.
