Anything for a win

Dan Hawkins is desperate these days. The Buffaloes are 0-2 (when many thought they'd be 2-0 right now). Of course, this was planned well before last week's program-embarrassing loss at Toledo, but CU is trying to channel some of the success of the 1930s.

Hawkins' team is wearing 1937 Colorado Buffaloes throwback uniforms when his 2009 team takes on Wyoming on Saturday during Legacy Day in Boulder. The Buffs will don the jersey of that era, gold in color with black numbers, along with silver pants. I love when teams do this, especially paying homage to a specific time in their history. Not a bad year in CU history. The Buffs went 8-0 that season.

Nice tribute and Colorado should finally get that first win of the season.

Of course, you can buy this NIKE jersey.
