On Wednesday, just 24 hours after Colorado football coach Mike MacIntyre brought a portrait of his spirit buffalo charging through a storm to his weekly press conference to help refute a report detailing his imminent demise as the Buffs leader, a picturesque, sun-splashed day greeted MacIntyre as he met with a much smaller media contingent.
With a brilliant blue sky looming over the façade of Folsom Field, MacIntyre was asked if he would savor the scene a little more on Saturday, given if the report released early this week by Denver Channel 7 is true, the 500th game at Folsom will double as MacIntyre's last.
