College football season

2016 college football season is here in Colorado.“Touch down! Touch Down Colorado”!That’s Mark Johnson, the voice of the CU Buffalos.Yes, it is time for College football season again. My favorite team to listen to is the CU Buffalos. I listen to them on either AM 850 KOA or AM 760 KDSP radio. In 2004 Mark Johnson became the voice of the CU Buffalos. Before that Larry Zimmer was the voice of the Buffalos. When Mark Johnson took over, Larry Zimmer was the color commentator who often had interesting comments. My favorite example; “I lost it on the air that day, ... The Buffs all took a knee and pointed straight up.” I, as well as many others enjoyed Larry Zimmer on the broadcasts.This year there will be a new color commentator for the CU Buffalos because Larry Zimmer retired at the end of last year. Garry Barnett is the new broadcaster. I will still miss Larry Zimmer, but I am looking forward to hearing how Garry Barnett does. I hope that Mark Johnson uses that “Touch down!” quote a lot this season. If the first game is any indication- he will! Mark Johnson asked good questions before the game. He asked the Quarterback Sefo Liufiu: “What does CU Buffalos Football mean to you?” Sefo’s answer was: “It means everything to me.” He seemed very thankful to be playing the game. I have heard Andy Lindahl and Mark Johnson on Prime Time sports talk about how the CU Buffalos have a lot of veteran players this year. Mike Macintyre mentioned this as well when Mark Johnson did an interview with him. Veteran players might mean that the players might have learned from their mistakes from previous years. This might mean that the CU Buffalos might win more games this year. During the game last night, the defense had already made some unbelievable plays on their way to a huge victory.Another one of Mark Johnson’s phrases that I like is:“Holy cow!”Mark Johnson is already using this phrase in the very first game! Garry Barnett’s comment was “That was a great call from Leavitt on that play.” The Defense stopped their opponent, CSU, cold on a big play. Jim Leavitt is the Defensive Coordinator. One thing I observed is this Buffalos offense had a lot of momentum in the game. I was so looking forward to hearing the game last night and I certainly wasn’t disappointed!Thanks for tuning in. Jeremy Levy
