--Jenny Barringer, the star of the CU Track & Field time, has qualified for the Olympics and will be off to Beijing. Last night at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus, Barringer finished third in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. Barringer was expected to win the event as she set the fastest time in America this year during her collegiate season and won the World Championships two years ago. Expect Barringer to compete for a medal next month. The good thing for the Buffs is that Barringer is back next year to dominate the Big 12.
--The West Virginia Charleston Gazette has previewed the Colorado and West Virginia game coming up in Boulder. It seems to me that West Virginia is a little worried about this game. Whether it be new coach Bill Stewart, the Colorado recruiting class, the Boulder altitude or the thought of Oklahoma last year at Folsom field getting upset, the Mountaineers are very cautious of this game. This is a CU Blog and I am 100% pulling for the Buffs but if the Mountaineers return the same speed I saw them live put on the field versus OU in the Fiesta Bowl, the Buffs are going to be in for a very long day.
--Note to Bruce Feldman, Toledo and Miami of Ohio are not powerhouses! How in the world does CU not get on the top 10 list for the hardest non-conference schedule. I am not so much disappointed on the Buffs missing the list, its teams like Michigan making the list. Look at the adjectives he uses to describe the opponents for the Wolverines. "A very underrated Utah team, Miami of Ohio "a team projected to be in the hunt for a MAC title," Notre Dame (come on, I love the Irish but they sucked last year and they will be really young) and then he says Toledo and tries to validate it with "they beat Iowa State last year." Ridiculous. I can't even laugh at this. How does CU not beat this! So they play Eastern Washington but FSU and West Virginia run circles around all of these teams and probably beat Notre Dame handedly. Also on the list include Troy, East Carolina and Marshall
