Interesting Buff Trivia

[Hugegroove]

Did you know that Chuck Fairbanks was Eddie Crowder’s 4th choice in 1978 and Tom Osborne almost took the job after CU offered him triple what he made at Nebraska?
The choices in order were
1. Bud Wilkenson, former Oklahoma coach
2. Tom Osborne, former Nebraska coach
3. Terry Donahue, former UCLA coach
4. Chuck Fairbanks (very bad choice)

If Tom Osborne came to CU…do the Buffs end up with Lawrence Phillips and Tommy Frazier? Also, a hidden gun, and the Peter Brothers? I’d take the Natty’s, the wins, etc…if he made it past what Fairbanks did. Overall, I think I’d pass and let Grandma TO stay a nub.

Better one: when Fairbanks left, CU took another swing at Osborne.

He accepted the job.

And then changed his mind when he left Boulder because he was too afraid to tell the folks at NU that he was leaving. He couched it in terms of feeling too guilty to tell his players he was leaving them, but being a man that is driven by fear of the polyester red horde explains much of his behavior over his career.

When I first got on the interwebs - you know, back when AOL shipped out CD's by the millions, I was trying to incorporate "Buffs" in to my user name.

I kept getting solicited by men, so I finally gave it up.
























The use the name, you damn dirty apes!
