SAN ANTONIO — Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre's message to his Buffaloes was simple and to the point Wednesday afternoon.
"Finish what you started."
That's exactly what the No. 10 Buffs hope to do Thursday night. Finish a season that has brought the Buffs back to national relevancy with a win over No. 12 Oklahoma State in the nationally televised Alamo Bowl (7 p.m., ESPN).
What these 10-3 Buffs have already accomplished this year has no doubt recaptured the attention and adoration of their fan base. They are just the eighth team in CU history to win at least 10 games while producing the program's first winning record since 2005.
