On Sunday August 4th, our CU Buffs football played against Hawaii. Sadly, we lost. However, the recent loss does not hinder the excitement that students feel as the Buffs begin their new season in the newly formed Pac 12. Prior to this year, the Buffs were part of the Big 12 which, after the conclusion of last season, multiple schools left. Hopefully the Buffs will pull through their first loss, and stand strong against University of California, Berkeley this upcoming weekend. If the football team can win against Cal, than it will prove to the rest of the teams in the division that we are not a team to mess with and also that we are a new threat to the rest of the teams. Moreover, the Buffs are lucky to have acquired Coach Embree who has spent countless hours reorganizing the way the team is formatted and the way in which the team runs. The players have been challenged and drilled to not only play but to practice to their fullest potential. Hopefully the redesign of the football department will lead to a very promising season that students will be excited to attend.
