//posted 10.24.1998

— October 24th – at Kansas Kansas 33, No. 17 Colorado 17 — After committing only two penalties against Texas Tech, the Colorado Buffaloes resorted to familiar form for the 1998 season, committing 12 penalties against Kansas. The penalties, along with four turnovers and still more injuries (including key injuries to running back Marlon Barnes and quarterback Mike Moschetti), helped the Kansas Jayhawks upset 17th-ranked Colorado in Lawrence, 33-17. All phases of the game went dark for CU in the night sky in Lawrence. The Buffs’ defense, which had held …

(Post your own memories)

— September 26th – Boulder No. 15 Colorado 18, Baylor 16 — The Baylor Bears, fresh off of a 33-30 win over North Carolina State (which in turn had just shocked the nation with a 24-7 win over previously 2nd-ranked Florida State) came to Boulder with aspirations of putting to rest the memories of a 2-9 1997 campaign. Baylor almost came away with the win, scoring late to pull ahead of Colorado, 16-15, with 6:31 remaining. But a 44-yard pass on third-and-ten from Adam Bledsoe, subbing for the injured Mike …

Preseason, 1998 – Buffs In Search of Redemption

//posted 8.24.1998

(Post your own memories)

In Search of …. Redemption The 1998 season could not start soon enough for Colorado. The 1998 campaign would allow the Buffs coaches and players, not to mention their fans, a chance at redemption. The 1997 campaign had been a season with too many firsts: the first losing record since 1984; the first conference finish lower than 2nd since 1988; the first time out of the polls since the start of the 1989 season. It had all just been a bad dream; an anomaly. Hadn’t it? While anxious to kickoff the …

No. 14 Michigan – Hail, No!

//posted 9.13.1997

(Post your own memories)

— September 13th – at Michigan No. 14 Michigan 27, No. 8 Colorado 3 — Hail, No! During the week leading up to the rubber game of the three-game match between Colorado and Michigan, much was made of the first two games in the series. The Hail Mary pass from Kordell Stewart to Michael Westbrook in 1994 received considerable air time, as did the “Fail Mary” pass thrown by quarterback Koy Detmer to end the 1996 Michigan game. For an intersectional contest being played for only the fourth time (Michigan defeated …
