Yep. Shove that Ziplock of Cheerios down your pants and no problem. To be clear - the front of your pants - you don't want security to think you shat yourself.

It's a little disappointing that neither CUBuffs.com nor Buffzone have anything about TH and the events today at the keg, on their main internet page today. Buffzone mentions it in their "notes", following their game article. Thanking TH and the team before they leave for the bowl, should be a packed house. Weak publicity.
FWIW: KOA will start broadcasting 1/2 hour before tipoff.
It's crazy in here now. Shoot around is starting now

Nice little beating to end non conference.
RJ Smith can stroke it.
RJ Smith can stroke it.
I've got as much confidence in RJ taking a 3 with his feet set as I would with him taking a layup. Great, great shooter.
It was a cluster. We got sent down, then told to turn around because it was done for the day (at halftime) then sent back down, told the line was over and then put back in line by someone where we waited for a long time. I too am surprised that Argus had no idea what they were doing.
He did more than appear. Shedeur basically anointed him the next great Buff in front of the arena.
Agreed. One more win than I expected. Think this team has at least seven more wins this season?
I expected the Big 12 to be better and didn't think there was any way that our Buffs could compete with a team like UConn, so maybe. Tad's teams always do well at home. It's definitely plausible to get 7 or 8 conference wins.

Big 12 seems vulnerable and no elite teams like years past outside of ISU. But KU, Baylor and even Houston show vulnerability.
I still think we will be tough to beat at home. Crazy to think if we go 7-3 at home and 1-9 on the road we will be on the bubble and I think that’s more than doable.
This team is not winning 7 games at home
Even our ****ty pre-Tad teams were able to pull off upsets at home. It’s hard to play in Boulder.

BOULDER — Colorado took care of business Saturday at the CU Events Center as the Buffaloes rolled past Bellarmine, 79-55, in their final tuneup before Big 12 play.
Tad Boyle's Buffs improved to 9-2 with their fourth straight win while the overmatched Knights dropped to 3-10.
Colorado used a 25-4 run in the first half to cruise to a 45-16 edge at the break and the Knights never threatened to make it a game after halftime.
CU led by as much as 37 early in the second half but the Buffaloes' defense let up down the stretch, allowing the Knights to outscore Colorado 39-34 in the final 20 minutes.
The Buffs put three players in double figures, led by a career-high 15 points from sophomore forward Assane Diop on 7-for-11 shooting. Sophomore guard RJ Smith had 11 points and a team-high five rebounds while senior point guard Julian Hammond III had 10 points, five assists and four rebounds.
Dezmond McKinney led Bellarmine with 12 points.
Colorado shot 29-for-62 (47 percent) from the floor while the Knights were 21-for-53 (39.6 percent). CU also had a 38-30 edge on the boards, making the Buffs 95-6 in the Boyle era when hitting the "gold standard" of holding a team to 40 percent or less shooting and collecting at least a plus-8 rebound edge.
But despite the lopsided win, Boyle wasn't pleased with CU's second-half effort. Bellarmine outscored Colorado in the second half by five points while shooting almost 62 percent from the floor (16-for-26, including 6-for-12 from 3-point range).
"I was really, really disappointed in the second half," said Boyle, whose Buffs open Big 12 play on Dec. 30 at home against No. 3 Iowa State. "I thought we kind of mailed it in at halftime, and that was a challenge I gave to our team — don't play the scoreboard, play the possession — and we didn't do that at all … (The Knights) scored more points in the first eight minutes of the second half than they did the whole first half. That means our defense really took a step backwards and for us to be successful in the league we're going to play in starting December 30, that ain't good enough. You have to play for 40 minutes, not 20."
...
Boyle clearly liked what he saw from his squad in the first half, particularly on the defensive end.
"It's got to be that way for 40 minutes," he said. "Defense does not have possessions off, it doesn't have games off, doesn't have nights off. We don't understand that. We think, 'Oh, well, we were up by 29, game's over.' Well, the game's not over. They beat us. They scored 39 in the second half, and beat us."
Colorado built its lead to as much as 37 early in the second half before the Knights found their shooting eye and managed to cut the deficit into the 20s.
Boyle emptied his bench with just more than three minutes to play, giving several walk-ons a chance for court time down the stretch.
DECISIVE MOMENT: Colorado put this one away with a 15-0 run midway through the first half, turning a narrow 14-10 lead into a 29-10 cushion and the Knights never came close to cutting the deficit to single digits again.
WHAT IT MEANS: Colorado is now 136-41 in non-conference games in the Boyle era, including 104-8 in home non-conference games.
NEXT UP: The Buffs get a short holiday break before returning to action on Monday, Dec. 30, when they open Big 12 play with a 7 p.m. home game against Iowa State (CBSSN).

Buffaloes Roll Past Bellarmine In Final Nonconference Tuneup

We often bring in food with us, never had a problem. The old folks behind us would bring their whole dinner in ziplock bags years ago. One thing I noted, it depends on who you are (and what entrance you go into). College kid probably is gonna have issues, 35 year old with a couple kids, you could bring a full steak dinner, and probably a bottle of wine without question.

Okay even if we go 5-5 at home I think this team is capable of 3 road wins.
Our road schedule is a lot easier than home. TCU, Okie State, Utah, Kansas State, and Texas Tech are all winnable road games.
I think there’s a realistic path to 8 conference wins which puts us on the bubble.
Diop was on one early, really nice to see that from him.

watching the highlights, looked like Bellarmine was a half foot shorter than us and slower at every position. I want to see Diop get those buckets against B12 competition, if he can that's a really good sign for our tourney hopes
