BOULDER - The Colorado Buffaloes football team was allotted 15 extra-practices in preparation for the Dec. 29 Valero Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma State. They wrap up their final practices at home this week before they leave Saturday for San Antonio to finish the remaining four practices in Texas.
But the real question is: how many practices is their beloved live mascot allowed to prepare?
"We have had two extra practices to get Ralphie and the handlers ready to go to the Alamo Bowl," said John Graves, the Program Manager of the Ralphie Live Mascot Program.
