-- The media made their Big 12 picks on Wednesday. See the their predicated finish here (behind Nebraska...? ) and the All-Big 12 1st Team here (Hypolite is the only Buff). Our one and only Darrell Scott was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the year. -- This write up from The Bleacher Report compiles all of the preseason mags picks. -- Here's a good write-up from the Camera on the effect that the

At The Ralphie Report, we love to look at the odds and if the deal seems sweet enough, we will throw down some coin...all legally of course in Vegas. Lets just say Kansas against the spread was very friendly to one of us last year. Throughout the year, we will definitely have our Friday odds analysis for the Buffs and other teams. With that being said, if any of you listened to the Herd on ESPN

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Last week, Rocky Mountain Showdown tickets went on sale last week and single game tickets go on sale for season ticket holders on Tuesday. - One of the major concerns for the Buffs this year is trying to replace Jordan Dizon. Lets be honest, the Buffs will probably never have a more productive linebacker but the Buffs may have gotten a step closer to

So Rivals.com has jumped on the story of all of these arrests in college football and of course, CU had a big spot in that article. Hawkins had some great quotes and even pulled out some statistics. Rivals starts out the article calling for new football stats when talking about returning players- starters lost, returning starters and starters arrested. The article goes on to list prominent player

Just a day after Richard Roby signed a summer contract with the New Jersey Nets, Former Buffs forward Marcus Hall has also gotten his chance to show his ability for the summer with the New York Knickerbockers. Hall, who measures in at a lean 6'2" 175 lbs, will have to show he can take the wear and tear of a 82 game NBA season. Hall will see action along with eight other rookies for the Knicks

It took a little longer than expected but Richard Roby has gotten his chance to audition for an NBA roster spot with the New Jersey Nets. Roby will not only have to impress the coaches with his play on the court but also fully demonstrate that his hand has healed which most likely resulted in him not getting drafted. The Nets will offer Roby a contract only for the Rocky Mountain Revue,

Its video day at the Ralphie Report. Just some Buffalo fireworks for your fourth of July celebration. Below are the Buffs opening and walkout videos. The music needs some help but still, we are getting closer! I know Woodrow is going to hate this first opening video because it sounds like "Coming to Your City" the video ESPN continues to play at 10 am every Saturday morning. Also, we have a

--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

Cody Hawkins has to be in Peru right now saying, "Dad, what are you doing?" The Buffs signed their third recruit in the 2009 season and the second QB. The first signee was Jordan Wynn, an athletic 185lb QB from California, similar in size to Cody Hawkins who will be entering his sophomore season and second year as Buffs starting QB. Although most Buffs fans would like to see Cody be a little more

To say that their is something in the water in Omaha would be an understatement. Its was just announced today that Melissa MacFarlane, a 6-foot-7 center at Millard North High School will be joining the Lady Buffs next year. No, the 6'7" measurement is not a typo. I think the Men's team should go and sign her. I am truly disappointed that I could not find a picture or a bio of the Melissa as that

--Derek Tolan, the ace of the CU Golf team, won the Colorado Golf Association State Public Links Championship on Sunday at Fox Hollow Golf Course. Tolan, who represented the Buffs in the NCAA Golf Championships earlier this month, beat out Pat Grady, a fellow senior Buffalo and defending champion. --In football news, 2008 recruit Paul Vigo, a 6’ 1”, 205 lb. athlete from New Jersey will not be

Rivals.com's annual Preseason Countdown cracked the top 40 last week and we were ecstatic and a bit apprehensive that the Buffs were rated this high. Last year, Rivals season ending rankings had the Buffs as the 56th team in the nation. With the recruiting class coming in and an extra year of experience for the current roster and coaching staff, Rivals feels that the Buffs are now the #34 ranked

-- Check out this Daily Camera story on Richard Roby… pretty much saying what we said yesterday that Roby was already a late second round pick and with the hand injury, he will probably go undrafted. Bzdelik does have a good point that it may be better to not be drafted then go in the second round due to being stuck with one option and non-guaranteed contracts. At the same time, you are also

--Looks like the Ex-Buffs armed robbery duo will be charged today. Its a sad story but at the same time, very embarrassing for the program especially since it happened in Boulder near the campus. The team has a lot to prove to the CU administration and staff to gain its credibility back in terms of being thought of as "good citizens." I know its not fair but once again, that is the expectations

I should have written the June 21st post today as I would have had one more ex-Buff to add to the rap list that is now known as "The Buffs Most Wanted." Recently drafted Jordan Dizon was cited April 20th, 6 days before the NFL draft, for a DUI while driving the wrong way down a one way street. Thats a tough one to dispute. Buffs getting in trouble is really getting old. Dizon is the eighth member

A decent amount of good reads today for the utter lack of action right now... -- It's good to hear the Bzdelik is rebuilding the bridges with local Colorado HS basketball programs, but we're going to have to continue to be patient because this seasons looks like it's going to be a rough one. -- Doesn't look like the Buffs or even CSU will be reentering the world of D1 College Baseball anytime

Life is moving at a snails pace right now. Yesterday while conversing with a friend I was talking about Marian Hossa turning down a hockey contract and later on that day, I resorted to watching the Euro soccer thing which made me even more depressed. CU Buff players are getting arrested and the training camp is a couple months away. The Colorado Rockies are back to being dismal. The sports scene

I am sure that all programs have some off the field issues but it seems like the Buffs continue to make headlines for all of the wrong reasons. Just in the past week, three more notable incidents have taken place. The rap list is long, but here it is...remember all of this is only in the calendar year of 2008. In January, LB Nate Vaiomounga was charged with criminal mischief under $500 for

ESPNU just finished its three day stint through the college football landscape to name "The Face" of every program. That "Face" could be part of a stadium, a coach, a play and in CU's case a mascot. Yes, it’s good to know that our blog has the name of "The Face of the Program" for Colorado. Other nominees for Colorado include "The Catch" (Kordell to Westbrook at Michigan), Rashaan Salaam, Byron

With the recent announcement that the University of Colorado is trying to find a suitor to purchase the naming rights to Folsom Field, we found that many Boulderites were a little disturbed that the evil corporation that is now Colorado athletics would do something as unthinkable as trying to make money to support the athletic department which includes sports other than football.

While we anxiously await the 2008 - 2009 college football season, we at the Ralphie Report have decided that since everyone with a PC is predicting the outcome of the upcoming football season, that we should get some fellow big 12 bloggers at SBNation to join us in selecting the 1st Annual Big 12 Team. The selection process is two-part. First, we ask the representative blogs of each team in the
