Apparently a kicker should have been on the mural.
A mural of 6 former Buffs... Someone in Boulder must be pissed at every other former great player?
Mason Crosby and Jimmy Smith? These are the specific former players people are mentioning that should have been part of this mural? Really?

Settle the hell down.. was just a comment, didn't mean to get your panties in a wad.
They’re not. I’m seriously curious why those are the first two names to come to mind

beware the habu
Well, they are current nfl players.
I get your point, tho. They could have put any number of former greats in that art work.

Smith is on there, next to P-Rich, I think.

Definitely some more obvious names, I guess. In my quick perusal, seemed like the mural was really featuring relatively recent CU players who went on to success in the NFL, not trying to showcase the CU Mt Rushmore. Hagan gets included because he’s on staff and Salaam is included because we’re still grieving him and looking to honor him whenever we can. But if you’re talking about recent players who’ve been successful in the league, easy to understand why Mason and Jimmy get brought up. If @Jeric is right, and he usually is, looks like they actually did include Jimmy in there.

That has Salaam in a Riddell SpeedFlex helmet. Those didn't exist in 1994.

Yep, good eye. Jeric also pointed that out above. Missed him on my first look at the mural.
This topic officially sucks. Never thought a mural of CU greats would come under as much scrutiny as it has, but CU fans gonna CU fan
Glad somebody else noticed this, because I had that helmet in high school and they were relatively new when I had one.

I’ll tell ya, I don’t know if he can coach a lick, but Michalowski sure is entertaining on the Twitter. “Run with us or run from us,” that’s good stuff.

I don’t know why I was thinking about this but how funny would it be if CSU wore their cheesy ass Colorado flag uniforms for the Rocky Mountain showdown and then we had Lindsay lead us out behind ralphie carrying the Colorado flag just to completely steal all of their thunder?

I forgot about those jerseys. It was cute when the 2nd rate university pretended to be Colorado’s team.
