Colorado Football Tickets

Colorado Football Tickets

Somewhere amidst the Rocky Mountains, you’ll find one of college football’s forgotten gems, the Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffs have been around for more than a century, they’ve been a part of two major conferences, and they have a national championship banner. Yet, the Buffaloes are often overlooked on the national stage - even though cheap Colorado football tickets are often in short supply, and fans rush to score last-minute Colorado football tickets for the chance to support the Buffs.

The Legend

Colorado began playing football in 1890. In 1895, Fred Folsom took over as head coach and began his legendary tenure with the Buffaloes. Between 1895 and 1915, Folsom had three separate stints as head coach, compiling a record of 77-23-2 over 15 seasons. During that time, he led Colorado to nine conference championships, setting up the Buffaloes for continued success throughout the first half of the 20th century.

The Eight Ball

During the second half of the 20th century, Colorado was a member of the Big Eight Conference. More years than not, they were one of the better teams in the league. The Buffs had their best stretch since Folsom’s days when Bill McCartney took over as head coach. Starting in 1985, McCartney led Colorado to nine bowl games in a 10-year span. That stretch included the school’s first national championship in 1990, which came by virtue of a 10-9 Orange Bowl win over Notre Dame.

Pac-12 Blues

After being a founding member of the Big 12 in 1996, Colorado struggled to sustain success in its new conference. The Buffs won the Big 12 in 2001 but soon started to stumble. Things didn’t get much better for Colorado after moving to the Pac-12 in 2011. Outside of a 10-4 season and Pac-12 South Division title in 2016, the Buffaloes have struggled to find traction in the Pac-12. However, given the proud history of Colorado football, it should only be a matter of time until they find their way and climb to the top.
