The Colorado Buffaloes have been living in a football fantasy for the last two weeks. First with the Rocky Mountain Showdown, the Buffs destroyed Colorado State with an embarrassingly easy 44-7 final score. The following weekend, our boys dealt another blow to Idaho State when they crushed them 56-7. The students of CU Boulder are in a blissful daze as we come to terms with this new sensation of dominance in football. But wake up Boulder, because sadly all good things must come to an end. Settle in Buffs, this weekend we play Michigan.

According to ESPN's Football Power Index the Colorado Buffaloes have about a 10% chance of beating the mighty Michigan Wolverines. So how does the team even mentally prepare to face such a forceful opponent? With Anxiety? Fear? Confidence? No, the Buffs decided to offset Michigan with a little bit a humor.

The Buffs began the week by releasing their uniform combination for the game with a little throwback to 1994. Giving the Wolverines a little reminder of their defeat in the Miracle at Michigan all those years ago...


"The uniform combination is ... the exact same as it was on 9/24/94. "


But the Buffs didn't stop there. The team then released their own mock depth chart with the likes of Austin Powers, Eric Cartman from South Park, and Lloyd Christmas from Dumb & Dumber as punt returner.

Michigan finally responded by saying:

"@RunRalphieRun Look forward to seeing your punt returners this weekend! #GoBlue" -@UMichFootball


But the Buffs hit back harder.

"@UMichFootball Lloyd Christmas really wants a pair of Harbaugh khakis. Can you hook him up?" -@RunRalphieRun


The Buffs brought Jim Harbaugh's khakis into this. It was about to go down.

Michigan told the Buffs that the khakis were staying right where they were. The exchange went on between both teams for several more tweets, filled with plenty of gifs and jabs along the way.

You can see the whole exchange here:

Regardless of this score this weekend, it is clear that the Buffs are coming to play. Say what you want about our football abilities, Colorado knows how to have fun!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
