McCartney Remembers CU's Red-Letter Rivalry

Current CU coach Mike MacIntyre and former Buffs coach Bill McCartney at Tuesday's press conference.

BOULDER — Former Colorado coach Bill McCartney's passion has not dimmed.

Not a bit.

Tuesday afternoon, McCartney made a guest appearance at CU's weekly press conference, delivering an impassioned endorsement of the current "Coach Mac" — Mike MacIntyre — as well as a refresher course on the importance of the Colorado-Nebraska game.

McCartney's appearance was only fitting. He is, after all, the man who arrived in Boulder in 1982 to resuscitate a downtrodden football program and immediately designated Nebraska as the Buffs' rival.
