What more could have been asked for during the Buffaloes' home opener?
Folsom Field glistened under a perfect blue sky. The Buffs provided plenty of highlights in a blowout win. And, perhaps most fittingly of all, Larry Zimmer was back behind the microphone calling all the action.
Back in action after missing the final six games of the 2014 season due to an illness — the only games he has missed in the past 21 of his 41 seasons calling CU games — Zimmer's return on Saturday to his familiar booth atop Folsom Field was an immensely gratifying finish line in his long road to recovery.
