At my age, I'm not sure I would be fit to drive from Vegas to LA after a night out...

I bet you could get a limo for a pretty reasonable sum.

Handlers have classes, and the trip takes days (and is expensive).
Ok. I remember she made it to every B12 CG. I figured this would be no different. SAN Francisco is farther away than Dallas or KC, so I guess I understand. Still sucks though.
You have to be pretty careful transporting large animals cross country. You need to stop and give them water every 2 hours or so and monitor their health (not overheated, etc.). Then (at least with horses) you get them out every 4 hours to stretch their legs. That would not be a trivial task with a buffalo. They could fly the game day handlers in the day of the game, but that would be additional cost, etc.
Side Note: when attending the 1990 Orange Bowl, my buddy and I were out for a morning run the day before the game and saw the Ralphie trailer at a stop light. Both of us were wearing CU t-shirts. We started yelling and cheering like mad men running towards the truck and trailer. The drivers loved it, once they realized they were not being attacked.

Time for some here on allbuffs to step up and volunteer. How hard can it be for 6 fat 50 y/o guys to run a Buffalo around a stadium? Plus you get to dress up like a cowboy.

It definitely sucks, but those Big 12 CCGs were all on Saturdays, and I think this game being on a Friday doesn't help. I have also heard that this Ralphie doesn't like to travel as much as her predecessors.
Fun fact: Ralphie handlers are on scholarship.
False, Nebraska fans disprove your assertion.
Big Red travels, but you have to take them out of the trailer and Runza them every 2 hours.
damn. that's cold. truthful, but cold-hearted. we'll need a defibrillator handy for some of my fly-over state allbuffs brothers but it might still be worth it.

Might have to become the University of Colorado Clydesdales if some mascot has to drag six of me around the field.
It would definitely become one of the highlights of the year on espn "you had one job"
I think our chances of winning this game are no worse than 50/50. The Buffs need to play nearly mistake-free, convert 40% (or better) of third downs, and get a favorable bounce somewhere.
Browning has been money all year. His stats aren't spectacular until you look at his number of TD passes and his TD/INT ratio. Jaw dropping stuff. Also, the guy is the definition of poise. And their WR Ross is world class. Having said this, I think we can put some pressure on Browning. This is the PAC 12, so he hasn't seen many good defenses.

I'm in. If I get a free trip I'm down and I can still run, just hope I don't pull anything. Ha

Okay ... I'm going to post this here and now so I won't have to post it during the game. I don't usually give much serious consideration to conspiracy theories regarding the nature of officiating during a game (other than possibly in the $EC) ... in as far as conferences may have a preference as to which team wins any given game, and that this might influence the calls on the field, whether it be deliberate or unconscious.
But it's pretty evident that a UDub win and a possible, maybe even likely, berth in the playoff will benefit the PAC 12 in general, both financially and in conference prestige, much more than will a CU win. Does anyone else have any concern that this might influence the refs in the game tomorrow, and that most of the close or questionable calls or non-calls might skew in favor of the Dawgs, even if it's only subconsciously?
I just wanted to get this out of the way ... but I'm pretty sure that if this does indeed seem to be taking place, the issue will be raised during the game, probably in ALLCAPS and with multiple exclamation points.

The Pac-12 refs are so bad they'd screw up calling the game for Washington.
My left toe was feeling a bit achey this morning.
