(3:04 p.m. MST; ESPN National) RELEASE NUMBER 13 (December 15, 2005) QUICKLY SPEAKING… It is a battle of the “CU’s,” as the Colorado Buffaloes (7-5, 5-3 Big 12 North Division champions) and the No. 23/23/23 Clemson Tigers (7-4, 4-4 ACC Atlantic Division; 3rd) will do battle for just the second time on the gridiron in the Champs Sports Bowl on Tuesday, December 27… Kickoff is set for 3:04 p.m. (MST) at Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando… ESPN will televise the game nationally, with Ron Franklin (play-by-play), Bob Davie (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline reporter) to call the action; Sports Radio USA will broadcast it nationally on radio, with Eli Gold (play-by-play), Tony Graziani (color) and Rich Herrera (sidelines) behind the mikes… Mike Hankwitz will coach the Buffaloes, as he was named interim head coach on December 9, replacing Gary Barnett, who stepped down the previous day; Boise State’s Dan Hawkins was named the 23rd head coach in Colorado history on December 16.

DEPTH CHART ON PAGE 60; ROSTER ON PAGES 61-62 IN THE POLLS Colorado was out of the top 25 in the Associated Press (media), USA Today Coaches and Harris Interactive polls of December 4, not receiving any points in any of the three for the first time this season. The Buffs peaked at No. 21 in the November 5 coaches’ ballot (No. 22 in the other two), but dropped out after the loss at Iowa State. CU has been ranked three times this season, and also reached No. 18 in the BCS Standings (Nov. 6). CU returned to the polls after a 25-month hiatus on October 9, as the Buffaloes were ranked No. 24 in all three, dropped out again after the loss at No. 2 Texas, and then reappeared after the 23-20 win at Kansas State. Dating back to the 1989 preseason, CU has been ranked in 185 of the last 278 polls (AP; 67%), which includes a tremendous run of 143 consecutive between 1989 and 1997 (the 10th longest streak of all-time). CU has been ranked 292 times in its history, the 21st most all-time. Since 1989, CU has played the fourth most ranked teams in the nation (86), trailing Florida (95), Michigan (91) and Florida State (90). STAT OF THE WEEK Colorado has won four straight games (in-season) following a loss to a top 10 team, with a 14-3 mark in such instances since the middle of the 1993 season. That includes one game in 2005, when CU bested Kansas, 44-13, after dropping a 42-17 decision at No. 2 Texas in October. The Buffs are coming off a second loss to the No. 2 Longhorns in the Big 12 title game, with No. 23 Clemson on tap for the Buffs to try and extend its winning streak in such instances. OBSCURE NOTE OF THE WEEK Colorado and Clemson are meeting for just the second time in their histories, both in postseason bowls—that makes the Tigers the second school the Buffs will have played more than once and exclusively in bowl games, joining Alabama. The Buffaloes defeated the Crimson Tide 47-33 in the 1969 Liberty Bowl, and met 22 years later in the Blockbuster Bowl, with ‘Bama evening things up with a 30-25 win. Also, the 48 seasons (1957-2004) between games between CU and CU is the third longest lapse between games with any opponent in Buff history: CU and Stanford met in 1904, then skipped 72 seasons before meeting again in 1977, while the Buffs and Utah State met in 1948 and then called it quits for 49 seasons before hooking up again in 1998. 2005 COLORADO SCHEDULE (7-5, 5-3 BIG 12) 2005 Date CU* Opponent Opp* TV Result/Time Record Series This-N-That SEPT. 3 NR COLORADO STATE NR TBS W 31-28 6-5 57-18-2 Crosby 47 FG wins it; CU outscores CSU 13-7 in last 2:32 SEPT. 10 NR NEW MEXICO STATE (FN) NR FSN W 39- 0 0-12 1- 0-0 Buff ‘D’ posts first shutout since ’02; NMSU: 5 rush yards Sept. 24 NR at Miami, Fla. 12 ABC L 3-23 9-2 5- 3-0 CU crosses midfield 8 times in 13 tries but nets only one FG Oct. 1 NR at Oklahoma State NR none W 34- 0 4-7 26-17-1 Charles 74-yard YD run on game’s first play sets tone OCT. 8 NR TEXAS A & M (H) NR FSN W 41-20 5-6 5- 2-0 Klatt (398 yds, 3 TD passing), TE’s (8-169, 1 TD) lead Buffs Oct. 15 24 at Texas 2 ABC L 17-42 12-0 7- 8-0 Young’s 394 T.O., 5 TDs (3 rush/2 pass) too much for CU OCT. 22 NR KANSAS (FW) NR PPV W 44-13 6-5 41-21-3 Klatt, Klopfenstein, special teams star in 5th straight win Oct. 29 NR at Kansas State NR none W 23-20 5-6 43-17-1 Crosby 50 FG with :06 left topples KSU late again NOV. 5 25 MISSOURI NR ABC W 41-12 6-5 31-36-3 Vickers shines with career-best 85 rush yards and 4 TDs Nov. 12 22 at Iowa State NR FSN L 16-30 7-4 46-13-1 CU holds ISU “O” in check but two return TDs the difference NOV. 25 NR NEBRASKA NR ABC L 3-30 7-4 17-45-2 Road team wins for the fourth straight year Dec. 3 NR Texas (Big 12 Championship) 2 ABC L 3-70 12-0 7- 9-0 UT’s 56-point spree in 20-minute span too much for Buffs Dec. 27 NR Clemson (Champs Sports Bowl) 23 ESPN 3:04 p.m. (Orlando, Fla.)

  • Famed CU Coach Eddie Crowder Dies Page 1 of 3
    Famed CU coach Eddie Crowder dies Page 1 of 3 Famed CU coach Eddie Crowder dies By Neill Woelk Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Eddie Crowder, the man who took Colorado’s football program to national prominence as a coach and set the stage for one of the school’s most successful eras as its athletic director, died Tuesday of complications from leukemia. He was 77. Crowder leaves an unmatched legacy at CU. No other man has had more of an influence on Colorado’s athletic department, with that influence spanning more than four decades. As the football coach for 11 years, Crowder led CU to a No. 3 finish in the nation in 1971, five bowl games and a 67-49-2 record, including CU’s first 10-win season in 1971. As CU’s athletic director for 20 years, he took Colorado into the era of big-time college athletics. He also recovered from what he would later call his “biggest mistake” — the hiring of Chuck Fairbanks as the Buffs’ football coach — to set the stage for what would become a golden era of CU athletics. “Eddie Crowder held Colorado athletics together,” said former Big Eight commissioner Chuck Neinas. “Let’s be candid — Colorado has never had the resources of an Oklahoma or Nebraska. “But in large part, they’ve been able to compete with those schools on a fairly regular basis because of the efforts of a guy like Eddie.” Crowder’s influence is still being felt at CU. Two of his final hires were football coach Bill McCartney and women’s basketball coach Ceal Barry, both of whom led the Buffs to unprecedented national prominence.
