OK,  I might be jumping the gun here a little.  The Colorado men’s basketball team has to beat Texas Tech on Wednesday to just get to the point that the Buffs would be NIT-eligible.

Ran into former CU director of football operations Dave Hansburg at Saturday’s CU-Iowa State basketball game.
Hansburg came to CU with Gary Barnett, and spent a year working for Dan Hawkins before heading off into the private business sector, where he’s still utilizing his expertise in running camps.
