Stanford head coach David Shaw and one of his star players have had scary experiences with Colorado's mascot, Ralphie.
Shaw was a freshman at Stanford when the Cardinal played at CU in 1990. During his press conference with Stanford writers this week, he told the story of his first run-in with Ralphie:
"I would refer to it as my most terrifying experience as an athlete," Shaw said. "Back in the day the cage used to be right outside the locker room. This was my first game. I was really excited. We come out of the locker room, and for some reason, I want to be the first guy out.
