I just dont get it. I wear my buff gear ALL THE TIME in Omaha and have my personalized message plates on my car on a nebraska plate and show off my CU tattoo and all i get is flipped off, cursed at and dirty looks thrown my way. I just dont get it.
i was in amsterdam (just got back) and i was walking around, and i saw some guy that said "go buffs." pretty sure he was attending CU though, so im not sure if that counts.

As a little experiment, I wore my Buffs gear on a Dallas to Houston flight last weekend, and again at jury duty today. Not a single person at Love Field, Houston Hobby, nor the Crowley Courthouse said Go Buffs or even mentioned anything. Then I stopped at Jamba Juice for my smoothy fix, and the hippy-dippy juice clerk said, 'I was admiring your shirt and your CU mastercard. My mom went to Boulder.' There you have it. Jamba Juice is the de facto Colorado embassy here in the DFW metroplex.
I got stopped by a cougar from CU who noticed my CU brand license plate dealious at the gas station in Mammoth Lakes, CA once. She chatted me up pretty good.
Hear hear for Cougars!
Let me make a correction: This was a cougar who graduated from CU. A Buffalo Cougar, if you will.Your plates could have represented universities from nebraska, oklahoma, West Virginia, Florida or Washington State (for that matter), the cougar would have struck up the conversation, regarldless. Cougars are fans of no one school (except again the WSU thing, but clearly a different kinda cougar)...they will not be denied!

I stand by my above remarks. Apparently it was her lucky day...a potential meal from the same school! Due to your common backgrounds you became what cougars term a "cripple".
Sir, you obviously have some knowledge of cougars beyond mine. Please enlighten!!I stand by my above remarks. Apparently it was her lucky day...a potential meal from the same school! Due to your common backgrounds you became what cougars term a "cripple".
Cougars and Cripples...Walrus, WTF are you talking about? Paint me clueless on this one. Care to share a personal anecdote or funny 'a friend of mine' story? :smile2:
Sorry, I didn't mean to be cryptic.
As you know, a cougar is a middle-aged female (human) who seeks physical lovin' from a younger man.
Here's the slow-motion play-by-play from my lame attempt at humor:
--A cougar is singular in her purpose.
--Any means (a conversation piece, for instance) which satisfies her goals are simply a means to end.
--The post to which I responded insinuated that this particular cougar chatted up her potential prey (Skye), using the CU plates as a conversation piece (the means to an end).
--My first post simply stated that she didn't really care what school fallenskye attended--she was simply wanted a conversation to reach her objective.
--Then I took a "joke-of-opportunity" to point out the association between the intended use of "cougar" and the mascot from Washington State.
--Finally, I suggested that since she was from CU, and Fallenskye was also from CU, that she would consider him unusually easy prey (easy to initiate conversation with). In the natural world, from which this entire metaphor initially sprang, no prey is easier than a "cripple" who's broken from the herd.
Sorry to waste everybody's time...just give me my negative reps, I'm gonna go put on my hair-shirt.
Really?I'm going to give you positive rep for explaining the new use of the term "cougar" to me. I've heard it a lot lately and I couldn't ever figure out what people meant.

Anyways, if you actually made up the term "cripple" when it comes to the cougar metaphor, I love it. I have never heard it before. Good stuff.

Thus the 1979 BHS prom queen may be both a panther and a cougar.
Touche...Cripple is OK, but maybe in Skye's case it could be "weak link", or "little fawn of the pack" or "slowest of the pack", or "last shot for the night" or something else. The concept is a good expansion of the "cougar" vernacular, though.

The cougar's natural habitat is the hotel bar.
