The first time safety Jered Bell strapped on his Colorado helmet and ran down the hill from Folsom Field to practice as a true freshman back in 2010, the Buffs were still in the Big 12 Conference.
It was Bell's sixth first day Wednesday as CU opened training camp, and Bell more than any other person on the field has reason to hate camp.
Two major injuries robbed Bell, a product of Ontario, Calif., of two complete seasons earlier in his career, and the NCAA awarded him a sixth season of eligibility in the spring because of those lost seasons.
