CU Buffs’ last Los Angeles football dance leaves California Buffs fans miffed: “It’s heartbreaking”

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:52:46 GMT

PASADENA, Calif. — Bruce Bailey wore a Prime-worthy, wide-brimmed CU hat. Upon closer examination, he had a black UCLA sweatshirt tucked under his arm. Just in case.“This could be the last UCLA-Colorado game we go to as a family,” Bruce explained, nodding at wife Teri and son Colin as they prepared to enter the Forever Buffs pregame tailgate a few holes away from the Rose Bowl late Saturday afternoon.“I’m so heartbroken to have the Pac-12 break apart.”To paraphrase Coach Prime, Buffs-Bruins was personal — especially for the SoCal locals. UCLA-CU is the last Buffs football game, to date, scheduled in Los Angeles while both are members of the same conference. The Buffs are leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12 next summer, while the Bruins are joining the Big Ten.The elder Bailey grew up a Bruins fan and sent Colin — who was raised in the L.A. suburb of Chatsworth, Calif. — to CU.“He’s now an official Coloradoan,” Dad said ...

Keeler: Broncos LT Garett Bolles bleeds Orange and Blue. He also wonders if this will be his last week wearing it.

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:52:46 GMT

Half of Broncos Country can’t stop holding onto 72. Ironic, isn’t it, Garett Bolles?“You know, it’s funny,” Bolles, the Broncos’ first-round draft pick in 2017, told me with a sly grin as we kibitzed about his future. “Because I look back, and everyone said, ‘Oh, you’re never gonna be here. You’re not gonna last long.’ And I’m still here. So I get to laugh a little bit about that.“But at the same time, I’ve just got to keep my head down and I have to go to work. And I have to continue to do the things I love. But this is home. And we’ll see where it goes.”Halloween’s trade deadline is creeping ’round the corner, and Sunday against the Chiefs — the forecast calls for snow and no Taylor Swift — could say a lot. Or nada. Win it somehow, and the Broncos hit the bye 3-5 with a pep in their step. Although they had a similar bounce coming back from London last October, to...

Avalanche Journal: Pittsburgh’s “Big Three” a record-setting, standard-bearing trio for Colorado’s stars to emulate

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:52:46 GMT

PITTSBURGH — Mikko Rantanen was 12 years old when he saw Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang win the Stanley Cup together for the first time.Nathan MacKinnon’s admiration for Crosby is well documented, but Rantanen was a big fan of No. 87 growing up as well. Cale Makar, like MacKinnon, has had the chance to skate with Crosby and Letang in the offseason.Colorado’s trio of world-class players has an immense amount of respect for Pittsburgh’s ‘Big Three,’ which has now been together for 18 years — the longest continuous stretch for three teammates on any major North American professional sports team.“It’s remarkable,” Rantanen said. “I remember growing up and watching those guys win the first Cup in 2009. So 18 years, that’s a long time. And to be as good as they’ve been, it’s pretty crazy, to be honest. I’m not surprised it’s the first time ever. They’re all top-tier players, which makes it even more special.”Those s...

BERKELEY — A midfield protest at Memorial Stadium delayed the start of Cal’s last scheduled football game against USC, and an unusual ruling led to the final play of the second quarter happening after the halftime intermission.And the weird stuff had just begun in what turned out to be a 50-49 USC victory Saturday.It ended when Cal failed on a pass attempt for the two-point conversion with 58 seconds after the Bears scored to pull within one point.In a back-and-forth game, the Bears led 27-18 at halftime and 43-29 early in the fourth quarter before a series of mishaps allowed the 24th-ranked Trojans to score three unanswered touchdowns in the final 11:15 to escape with the victory  in front of 43,716.It was the 110th and possibly final meeting between in-state rivals that first met in 1912 but are going their separate ways next fall after the Pac-12 Conference largely dissolves.Jaydn Ott scored three first-half touchdowns and rushed for 153 yards but left the game on the second play...
