Figures was an absolute beast and did it when CU was consistent top 20 in the nation.

I don’t think we really retire any numbers, but Travis and Shedeur both need to go up on the Ring of Honor or whatever that thing is called.

I believe those are All-Americans, which, yes, means they will be going on there.

The All-Americans are on the west side/field house. There are four names on the east side: Bobby Anderson, Whizzer White, Rashaan Salaam, and Joe Romig. Not sure what you do to get on that side.

My seats are on the east side, so I stare at the west side, lol.

Out of respect, I went with Laviska because he left about three years of his NFL career on Folsom Field.

The idiot coaches absolutely bled him dry.

Went with Shenault...one can only wonder what his numbers would be like if he was healthy for an entire season.

Healthy seasons and a QB that didn’t hang him out to dry from time to time, and an OC that didn’t ride him like people did Bo Jackson in Tecmo (Super) Bowl back in the day.
