After a turbulent offseason and with some uncertainty still hanging over the Colorado football program, Buffaloes head coach Mike MacIntyre was more than happy to experience some normalcy on Wednesday.
While the calendar says it is winter, the Buffs opened spring practice on a picturesque day in Boulder.
"It's always nice to get on the field, period," MacIntyre said. "You're on the road, speaking (during the offseason) and you're not around the kids as much as you would like. Getting out there with them, the energy of youth energizes you. It's exciting meeting with them, watching them run around, watching them push and seeing how they keep maturing.
