After ending the 2014 season without a pick in the last eight games (nearly nine, the last one of the season came on the first play of the fourth game), Colorado has an interception in five straight games this year (the last time with picks in six straight were the final six games of the 2004 season). Seven different players have interceptions in 2015, the most since nine had picks in 2007 (seven also snared throws in 2010). The most CU players with interceptions in a season were 13 in 1976; 11 picked off passes in ‘77 and ‘88. The eight picks has CU ranked 14th in the nation at present (Boise State leads with 11; Cal has 10 to top the Pac-12). OBSCURE NOTE OF THE WEEK Through five games, Colorado has outscored the opponent by 167-107 ... that’s the first time CU has held the scoring edge five games into a season since 2007, when the Buffs held a 121-101 margin over the enemy. It’s just the fifth time this millennium a CU team can make that claim, as the Buffs also did it in 2001 (156-75), 2004 (122-116) and 2005 (148-71). 2015 COLORADO RESULTS (3-2, 0-1 Pac-12) 2015 Date CU* Opponent Opp* TV Result/Time Record Series This-N-That or ’13 rewind Sept. 3 NR at Hawai’i (N) NR CBS-SN L 20-28 1-3 2- 3-0 Buffs within one on three occasions (8-7, 15-14, 18-17), but late rally falls short SEPT. 12 NR MASSACHUSETTS NR PACMT W 48-14 1-3 2- 0-0 CU most rushing yards (390) since 2002; Spruce becomes AT receptions leader Sept. 19 NR Colorado State (N; Denver) NR CBS-SN W 27-24 (OT) 2-3 63-22-2 Gonzalez 32 FG wins it after Thompson blocks similar CSU attempt SEPT. 26 NR NICHOLLS STATE NR PAC12 W 48- 0 0-4 1- 0-0 CU dominates, 636-166 edge in TO; Buffs run 71 of 93 plays in plus territory OCT. 3 NR OREGON (N; FW) RV ESPN L 24-41 3-2 8-12-0 Oregon pulls away late after 17-17 halftime tie and 31-24 score with 10:29 left Oct. 10 NR at Arizona State RV PAC12 8:07p 3-2 0- 6-0 ’14: ASU up 17-0, holds off CU charge (Buffs outgain ASU 523-204 last 3 qtrs) OCT. 17 ARIZONA (HC) FS-1 7:05p 3-2 13- 4-0 Colorado won first 12 games in series, but UA has taken four of the last five Oct. 24 at Oregon State TBA TBA 2-2 2- 5-0 Another ’14 near miss: OSU up 14-0 early, hangs on: Buffs end game at Beaver 40 Oct. 31 at UCLA TBA TBA 4-1 2- 8-0 ’14: Buffs rally from 31-14 down in 4Q to send game into OT; Hundley run wins it NOV. 7 STANFORD TBA TBA 4-1 3- 5-0 Colorado leads 3-1 in Boulder, where last Buff win in series was (21-17, 1990) NOV. 13 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (N) ESPN2 7:00p 3-1 0- 9-0 Final home game & 80th birthday for the “Voice of the Buffs,” Larry Zimmer Nov. 21 at Washington State TBA TBA 2-2 5- 3-0 The 3 road games have been in as many cities: Spokane, Seattle, Pullman Nov. 28 at Utah TBA TBA 4-0 31-27-3 All four games in Pac-12 play down-to-the-wire (decided by total of 21 points) Dec. 5 Pac-12 Championship Game ABC/ESPN 5:45/6p (at Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.)

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

And He Can Take a Hit Too: Justice White's Utah Connection* It should be obvious. Surely every American knows these two simple rules of conduct: (1) When you are playing football, it's okay to put a hit on a member of the opposing team. It's one of those rare times when hitting someone with the full force of your body weight is not prohibited. And (2) you may never-regardless of your body weight-hit a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, even if he or she is wearing pads. This rule first appeared in one of those "bright line" deci- sions handed down by the Court of Star Chamber during the fourteenth century and has been adopted as common law by every state in the Union but Louisiana.' Despite stare decisis, nonjusticio tacklisis, and any other Latin phrase you can think of, somehow, in Utah, these two rules reversed themselves.
