The same thing, just different and better Knoxville brings same old ‘Jackass’ stunts but refreshing plot line in ‘Bad Grandpa’ ALEX GUYTON

D

espite one of the fraternity houses at our university “allegedly” (it totally happened) slipping X into an unaware Johnny Knoxville’s beer while he was shooting a promo for his new film “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa,” the UA was still allowed an advance screening of the film in Gallagher Theater. Go figure.

I, for one, am glad to see that we’re giving That School Up in Tempe a run for its money in terms of being nationally recognized as an academic institution of the highest order, that scoffs at the notion of any funny business … but I digress.

More to the point, “Bad Grandpa” introduces enough new elements to make the “Jackass” franchise fresh and modern again.

Unlike previous iterations of “Jackass” — which were postmodern mash-ups of random skits without a plot to really hold them together — “Bad Grandpa” introduces what could be considered a storyline. Although inserting a plot may seem counterintuitive (because anyone who watches “Jackass” clearly wants to completely turn off their brain), it actually adds instead of detracts.

Irving Zisman (Knoxville), a lecherous old man still trying to get his rocks off at the ripe old age of 86, has been tasked with transporting his grandson Billy (Jackson Nicoll) across the country to his deadbeat father while his crack-addled mother begins her stint in the clink. It’s a loose narrative, to say the least, but it works — and it works well.

In a phone interview last month, Knoxville said he really thought people would take to the relationship between the grandpa and grandson, and his prediction was right on the

money. The unlikely pairing of an ancient creeper and a notso-innocent young boy is what puts this latest installment head and shoulders above the other “Jackass” movies. Seeing an old man corrupt his young grandson is a welcome change from the usual formula, and the pranks put this dynamic to great use.

The previous “Jackass” movies basically involved grown men beating the shit out of one another in ways as creative as possible, hoping to later puke all over each other. There were some minor variations thrown in for flavor, like drinking horse semen, but that was pretty much the gist.

“Bad Grandpa” has Irving sharing a beer with 8-year-old Billy on a park bench and getting wildly drunk while playing Bingo, and Billy dressing in drag to enter a children’s beauty pageant.

Some stunts still rely on the “Oh, look, here’s a random penis” gimmick of the older movies, but there’s something about older people behaving inappropriately that is just plain funny.

Knoxville, director Jeff Tremaine and crew shot “Bad Grandpa” almost completely out in public, and the real reactions of the innocent bystanders garner as many laughs as the stunts themselves. Just as funny as Zisman putting the corpse of his dead wife in the trunk is the reaction of the man helping him move the body, who is convinced that they’re committing a crime.

Major kudos go to Nicoll and his portrayal of Billy as well.

The kid seems down to do just about anything that’s asked of him, and the relationship between him and Knoxville can, at times, even be a little tender. It’s not exactly heartwarming, but it’s closer than “Jackass” has ever gotten before.

The franchise seemed like it had reached the end of the line

with the same random stunts performed by the same people.

“Bad Grandpa” switches up the stunts, actors and filming style, all to great benefit.

And even though Knoxville’s days of tripping on ecstasy have been over for quite some time (I mean, as long as we don’t have anything to say about it), he seems to be doing his best work yet.

Dance production aims for variety

LARRY HANELIN, COURTESY OF ZUZI! DANCE COMPANY

JORDAN RUIZ performs in Homegrown: ZUZI! Young Choreographers Showcase on March 22, in the ZUZI! Theater.

MCKINZIE FRISBIE

his weekend, ZUZI! Dance Company will host its 16th bi-annual No Frills Dance Happenin’ event, featuring a variety of dances including modern dance, contemporary ballet, jazz and aerial trapeze, as well as comedy entertainment and music.

Jamey Garner of ZUZI! Dance said that the goal of No Frills night is to bring in community choreographers and provide them with a space to perform their dances and ideas in front of an audience to inspire further creativity.

“Sometimes it’s not a straightforward story,” said Garner, who is an instructor and dancer with the company in addition to being the operations manager. “Often in the No Frills, you’ll see the idea start to sprout. That’s really what No Frills can be, as well as a place to show an idea,” she said.

Friday night features the Youth Night performances, which will begin at 7:30, and dancers from Tucson High School and Utterback Middle School, as well as the ZUZI! Many Limbs Youth Aerial and Apprentice Companies.

Saturday night at 7:30, the Adult Choreographers’ Showcase will begin, featuring local dancers who will perform modern

contemporary dance to songs from artists including Rihanna, Pink Floyd and Miles Davis.

During intermission, the UA co-ed a cappella group, Notoriety Acapella, will perform songs such as “I Knew You Were Trouble” by Taylor Swift and “Too Close” by Alex Clare, Garner said.

Refreshments and snacks will be served on both nights, and wine will be served at Saturday’s Adult Showcase night. Garner says that ZUZI! will raffle off items and sell vintage dress and dance costumes for low prices.

Artistic director and founder Nanette Robinson started the non-profit ZUZI! 16 years ago, and has since extended its multiple facets of the local dance community.

“It’s really about the creative process,” Robinson said. “But also in terms of tech, it’s very basic. There’s lights and a great sound system, but it’s more of an open mic for dance.”

Robinson said that the night has previously hosted a variety of dance groups, including hip-hop and capoeira performers. She says the community event is simple, and the idea is for dancers to come together and celebrate their choreography.

The master of ceremonies for the night is Carie Schneider, who is working on her doctorate in English at the UA and has been with ZUZI! since she was in high school. Garner said Schneider

will provide silly live entertainment between set changes.

“When we do transitions or moving props on, she’ll come in and talk to the audience,” Robinson said. “Or she’ll roller skate, or she’ll put 15 skirts on and see how fast she can take them off. She’s amazing.”

Garner added that the event serves as a way to reach out to the Tucson community, which already offers plenty of opportunities to engage in art-oriented events.

“There’s so much happening because this is such a little, buzzy art city,” Garner said. “It happens on a lot of different levels.”

FOOD

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2013 • PAGE 4 TWITTER.COM/DAILYWILDCAT

AMY JOHNSON Today is the day where eating your feelings is socially acceptable. Today, you will pass up your wheatgrass diet in favor of deep-fried mozzarella sticks.

Today is National Greasy Food Day. In honor of this All-American holiday, the Daily Wildcat scoured Tucson for all things greasy, cheesy and wrapped in regret.

1.

Frog & Firkin / $$

Be forewarned that besides the placement of the British flag atop the building, there’s not much else British about this place. But who says that’s necessarily a bad thing? Situated in the middle of University Boulevard, Frog & Firkin is an eatery full of social college students with high metabolisms.

Come hunger or hangover, this place has portion sizes larger than the U.K. The melted brie on roasted garlic bread is equal parts crunchy, cheesy and greasy.

Although considered an appetizer, the French fry selection at Frog is a meal in and of itself, with dishes from the pesto and melted brie Green Fries to the garlic, Parmesan and mozzarella White Fries. If your arteries haven’t had enough by the time you finish your

Finding the greasy spoon starters, move on to one of Frog’s 14 different deep-dish pizza pies, ranging from the Sonoran Firkin to the Pesto Firkin.

2.

German Food Station / $

Bratwurst, sauerkraut, currywurst, deprecziner and other foods you can’t pronounce can all be found inside this one food truck. While the location of German Food Station changes frequently, the quality of its food does not. Let it be known that this food truck is not for vegetarians or vegans, but if you’re looking for authentic German cuisine, this is the place for you. Catch the truck at the Tucson Food Truck Round Up on Saturday by Sixth Avenue and Drachman Street.

3.

Lindy’s on 4th / $

Lindy’s on 4th makes it into the Daily Wildcat’s food lists quite often, and for good reason, considering its specialty burgers are hard to beat.

Rusty Trombone, Fat Bastard, Dirty Sanchez, Blue Baller — and no, we’re

not referring to nicknames for your exes. Each burger begins with juicy red meat piled high with lettuce, cheese, onions and thick burger buns. With every burger on the menu offering a different assortment of toppings — be it mac and cheese, guacamole and green chiles, peanut butter or raspberry preserves — Lindy’s on 4th lives for National Greasy Food Day.

Bison Witches Bar & Deli /$

4.

For the greasy sandwich lovers, Bison Witches is the place to go.

Conveniently located on Fourth Avenue, this place boasts a sandwich list larger than your appetite. The Wildcat Sandwich is an ode to the hungry college student, with roast beef and smoked turkey with melted Gouda cheese, topped with lettuce and honey-based spicy Russian mustard. For the kid at heart, Bison Witches revamps classic elementary school lunchtime with its grilled PBJ sandwich. Slightly melted peanut

THE HUNGRY BRISKET SANDWICH, one of many sandwiches at BrushFire, features slowcooked, smoky beef in a toasted bun. Add chipotle barbecue sauce with hot onions, creamy sauerkraut and spicy mustard for an extra kick of flavor.

butter and crunchy bread will have you licking your fingers clean at the end of the meal.

BrushFire BBQ Co. / $$

5.

Don’t be fooled by the rotating sign outside the restaurant or the biker bar-styled flames inside — BrushFire means business. Voted some of the best barbecue in Tucson, thanks to BrushFire you won’t have to venture

to Texas for a real, down-home meal.

If the menu overwhelms you, start with any of BrushFire’s signature sandwiches. If you’re trying to live National Greasy Food Day to the fullest, dig into BrushFire’s messy fries — just make sure you have some Pepto-Bismol on hand for afterwards.

LIFESTYLE Hey, ! p Barkee What’s your favorite drink to make?

Fish piss. It’s a shot, it’s our shot.

So basically, it’s a shot of … grapefruit vodka with Blue Curacao and dropped in Red Bull and if you shake it … it turns out like a really blue color, and then if you top it off with Red Bull … it turns kind of green.

What’s your least favorite drink to make?

On a busy night, a mojito.

Who’s been your most memorable customer?

He was an older gentleman, and he was just the nicest guy. He’d come in and he noticed right away that I was left-handed and so he was lefthanded and so that’s how we both kind of interacted. Ever since then, he brought me in my left-handed calendar and he’d just always bring me in everything. He was from, I think, Chicago. Actually, he loved the

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2013 • PAGE 7 TWITTER.COM/DAILYWILDCAT

Patriots. He brought me in a Patriots jersey. He was just like the nicest … he turned into one of my regulars. I think I’ll always remember him.

My worst most memorable customer actually just happened the other day. He came up to me and just started yelling to me because he thought that I had put something in my mouth. He thought I ate a cherry and put it in a drink. Like completely misunderstanding it, completely irrational.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen happen?

There was a couple, obviously intoxicated, and they were a little too much PDA at the bar and kind of everybody else was feeling a little awkward so me and the other bartender … told them, you know, you guys gotta go, here’s your check, it’s time to leave. This girl came and unleashed on us. I mean, I thought she was going to jump over the bar and just kill us both. She threatened to burn down the building. It was hilarious. She was probably like only 21 years old, she was a U of A student.

If it’s a very busy weekend, like homecoming, and you come up to the bar and you either snap your fingers — that’s actually number one, don’t ever snap at a bartender. But if you’re looking kind of annoyed, and you’re ready to order, and you’re holding up your cash, and then I come over there to you and you have no idea what you want yet, that’s probably most annoying. Don’t act like you’re ready to order something and not be ready in a fast-paced restaurant like this. That’s pretty much it. And then obviously coming in too intoxicated and acting like you’re not.

he spirits that linger just might come back to haunt the annual Nightmare on Congress Street at Hotel Congress this Saturday.

The event features mummified music, carnival games from hell, two costume contests and makeup artists from The SlaughterHouse.

Tickets to the spooky event are available online for $8 until midnight Friday. On Saturday, the price rises to $10, and tickets can be purchased when doors open at 8 p.m.

But you may want to purchase them ahead of time — David Slutes, the entertainment and booking director of Hotel Congress, said this Halloween event is an exhilarating experience and is not to be missed.

“Nightmare on Congress Street has been one of our premier events for a decade at least,” Slutes said. “It’s huge; it always sells out. The costume contests are the best in town.”

The 21-and-over event will offer $4 Stoli Flavors vodka and $4 Maker’s Mark whiskey starting at 10 p.m.

Congress’ reputation as a

haunted hotel suits the annual event, said owner Richard Oseran.

“We had some Navy SEALs that stayed here, and in the middle of the night they came down with their bags,” Oseran said. “They just said, ‘We — we have to check out.’”

If you dare to test it out, a giant Ouija board coffee table is located in the center of the lobby, and Matt Baquet, a booker at Hotel Congress, said all you have to do is ask the front desk for the pointer.

Nightmare on Congress Street will hold Halloween costume competitions at 10 p.m. and midnight. As the clock strikes 12, prizes will be awarded to the first-, second- and third-place winners.

As a former judge for the contest, Slutes said the secret to winning is to be as imaginative as possible with your costume, but prepare yourself to face more than the predictable Halloween attire as competition. “[The winner is] almost always the most creative costume,” Slutes said. “People can have these … really big store-bought ones, and they really look great, but it’s usually the ones who put [in] the most effort.”

Last year’s winners, Slutes said, were Edward Scissorhands and

a “Super Troopers” character having sex with a blowup bear.

If you need to resurrect your lifeless costume and get an edge on the competition, Baquet said makeup artists from The SlaughterHouse will gather in the hotel to zombify everyone for free.

Local DJs Sid the Kid and Bob Felix will provide dance music inside. Slutes said the duo are the venue’s best team of DJs and they are expected to pump up the club’s dance floor with their beats all night long.

Live music will be performed under the moonlight and will feature Chris Black, Burning Palms and 80’s & Gentlemen.

Slutes says each artist is doing something special for the Halloween-themed night.

Black will perform with Gabe Sullivan on drums. Baquet said Black plays a variety of styles, but Saturday night will be more of a rock performance.

“The time I saw them — it was weird time signatures, weird progressions and Gabe just rocking out like crazy,” Baquet said. “It’s cool, and it fits with the weird, spooky theme of the night.”

The Egyptian-influenced quintet Burning Palms features songwriter Simone Stopford on vocals and guitar, Julia DeConcini

on vocals and percussion, Chris Sauer playing guitar, Nate Gutierrez strumming on bass and Sammy Swinson on drums.

“The whole band is really into magic and mysticism,” Stopford said. “What we want to do is a series of albums that focus on different elements of Egyptian mysticism.”

Stopford said this mysticism is mainly depicted through lyrics and on-stage presence, adding that the band’s Egyptian-style clothing helps to create a stimulating visual experience, so the show isn’t based solely on music.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to just take it to some kind of macabre, twisted next level,” she said. “I think it’s really easy with the whole Egyptian theme because a lot of it is about mummies and death, and things being warped and old.”

One song in the band’s lineup that Stopford said will be a hit for the night is “Pyramids,” a song based on her favorite Bob Dylan song, “Isis.” “[‘Isis’] is about [Dylan] getting involved with a wacky adventure where a crazy man drags him out into a desert to find money in [a tomb] in a pyramid,” she said. “‘Pyramids’ is based on that song, and it’s just really fast and driving.”

Stopford said that she has developed an admiration for the buzzing art culture in Tucson during her two years here and is proud that fans recognize the desert and Egyptian influence the band strives to emulate.

“I’m a really huge admirer and supporter of the local music scene,” she said. “It’s going to be a really big extravaganza for the senses, and whoever isn’t there is going to be missing out on a lot of levels.”

Hauntings in the Old Pueblo JESSICA SCHRECKER

Tucson is a town filled with history and traditions stretching back for decades.

Over the course of that history, some of our most beloved historic landmarks have become tainted with the presence of ghosts of our city’s past, sentenced to a life of lingering as they whisper their unfinished tales into our evereager ears.

If you’ve ever been on campus in the dark hours of the night, maybe you’ve encountered one of the university’s eerie inhabitants. Thousands of students call campus home, and legend has it that a few wandering ghosts and spirits do, too.

Centennial Hall

Known for its intricate architecture, Centennial Hall is the university’s performing arts hub. During the day, it serves as an enormous lecture hall.

However, when classes end and the hall empties out, it’s an entirely different story.

Two ghosts are rumored to haunt Centennial Hall, said Kyiara Clark, a communications junior and Centennial Hall employee. Actors and performers in the theater claim to have heard noises while onstage, and Clark said many of her coworkers have felt a force bump into them while inside the theater.

Local medium and astrologist Jo’Ann Ruhl said that there aren’t any ghosts in Centennial Hall, but there are spirits.

“The spirit is a form with the human being. When we let go of the physical form, we return to being a spirit,” Ruhl said. “The ghost is where the person dies, but their consciousness, their awareness, thinks they’re still alive.”

Ruhl said Centennial Hall is home to a spirit that occupies the projection room

and is sometimes seen or felt tampering with objects in the area. Another spirit, Emma, spends her time backstage and travels to various theaters seeking the art and adventure she lacked in her real life.

“There’s usually a connection,” Ruhl said. “It’s rare to find a spirit that goes someplace randomly.”

Maricopa Residence Hall

Maricopa Residence Hall is rumored to be home to the ghost of a woman who took her life after discovering her fiance’s infidelities. History senior Jenn Menzur said that during her sophomore year, she experienced multiple encounters with ghosts while living at Maricopa.

“When I was taking pictures, I saw an orb through my phone camera, but as I looked up to where the real light was, something flew at me,” Menzur said. “I’ve never seen that happen before — ever.”

Menzur also said there was another incident in which a silhouette of a person was visible on the wall in the Grand Room, which is completely devoid of windows, while she and her resident assistant were the only ones in the room.

She claimed that beginning on Oct. 1 of every year, there is an eerie, cool feeling on the second floor that is especially tangible in the bathroom and on the anniversary of the young woman’s death, Oct. 30.

Hotel Congress

Built in 1919, Hotel Congress is one of the great historic landmarks of Tucson.

The hotel is supposedly home to several ghosts, including a young boy and girl who roam the second floor, an older gentleman who haunts the entire hotel, leaving butter knives in his wake, and a woman who looms over the reception area and stairs.

Several instances of ghost and spirit experiences have been recorded in the old hotel.

Garden feast to celebrate Dia de los Muertos

O

JESSICA SCHRECKER

IF YOU GO

riginating in Mexico, Dia de los Muertos is arguably one of Tucson’s oldest and most famous traditions; and this year Tucson Botanical Gardens is providing the community with another way to lure souls back to celebrate.

In its second annual Feast with the Dearly Departed, Tucson Botanical Gardens is celebrating the holiday with food, sugar skulls, face painting and decorations to honor the deceased.

The feast initially started as a celebration for the opening of the center’s barrio garden, and now continues as a celebratory event for the whole community to enjoy, said Development Director Katherine Hougland.

“This year, we decided to do the event again,” Hougland said.

“Of course, our barrio garden has been open for a year at this point. That way, we could not only still celebrate the event and celebrate the wonderful Day of the Dead, but also invite people to come in and enjoy our space.”

The gardens kept the event as similar to Dia de Los Muertos as possible as another way to celebrate the Mexican holiday and the changing of the seasons.

“We have such a strong Hispanic community here; people have seen the All Souls Procession,” said Tucson Botanical Gardens staff member Melissa D’Auria. “The one we have here in Arizona is the largest in the country, so it was apparent that there is a lot of desire for that here because a lot of people celebrate and honor that holiday, so we wanted to be a part of it.”

What: Feast with the Dearly Departed Where: Tucson Botanical Gardens, 2150 N. Alvernon Way When: Saturday, 5 to 8 p.m.

Admission: $8 for adults, $4 for children; half price for members

AMY PHELPS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

“FRANSISCO” AND “FRANSISCA” are on display at the Tucson Botanical Gardens as part of the Feast with the Dearly Departed.

Feast with the Dearly Departed will offer a selection of traditional Sonoran foods, such as tamales and pan de muerto, as well as a skeleton display, decorative marigolds and luminaria designed to light the path for the deceased, said Horticultural Therapy Director Juliet Niehaus.

“It’s an effort to welcome back those in their family and their

loved ones who have passed away,” Niehaus said. “A lot of the components are opportunities to lure the souls of the departed back to celebrate, either by presenting them with their favorite foods on altars, lighting the way with luminaria [or] decorating the paths with marigolds, which seem to really draw the souls back.”

Guests will also have the opportunity to decorate sugar skulls, part of a long-standing tradition of honoring the dead in Mexico.

“Often, people decorate them to represent lost members of their family or people who have been loved, or just to celebrate the whole notion of people beyond us,” Niehaus said.

In addition to the event, Tucson Botanical Gardens set up an “ofrenda” in its barrio garden earlier this week as a symbol of remembrance for people to come in and honor their lost loved ones with special items, photos or flowers.

“It’s an opportunity for people to leave mementos and little thoughts of remembrance of people who have died,” Niehaus said.

Tucson to participate in global ‘Thriller’ dance

A

CASEY KNOX

s if Michael Jackson wasn’t legendary enough, his fame is on the rise once again in the form of an international, simultaneous dance to “Thriller” happening this weekend Thrill the World 2013 will return for its seventh year on Saturday, with Tucsonans from all over the city donning their scariest zombie outfits and dancing to Jackson’s all-too-familiar song.

According to the Thrill the World website, the worldwide event came to fruition thanks to the mind of Ines Markeljevic, who began dancing to “Thriller” as early as age 3. Markeljevic became a choreographer and instructor after studying dance at York University.

In 2006, Markeljevic realized there was no world record on the books for the largest simultaneous dance to “Thriller,” so she organized the first Guinness World Record for “Largest Thriller Dance,” with 62 dancers in Toronto.

Markeljevic decided to go international in 2007, making Thrill the World a global staple

during the month of October.

This year, for the 30th anniversary of the song’s release, Thrill the World is attempting to break its record from 2009, when 22,571 people from 264 different cities across the world simultaneously danced to “Thriller.”

According to the event’s registration page, about 21 different countries will participate in the event on Saturday, including Australia, China, Germany, Rwanda and Venezuela.

Kathleen Kelley, event manager and cochair for the Oakland region of Thrill the World, estimates that 129 cities around the globe will be dancing to “Thriller” at the same time this weekend.

Kelley said that Thrill the World takes place every year during the weekend closest to Halloween, as the last few weeks in October are already occupied by zombies celebrating the holiday.

In Tucson, Thrill the World will be held at the Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa at 2 p.m. The event also aims to help the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona by encouraging

participants to bring a non-perishable food item as a donation.

Tracy Nyemaster, director of guest experiences at La Paloma, said she’s hoping 50 to 100 people will show up this year to participate in this year’s attempt to break a world record.

Last year, Nyemaster said, about 15 to 20 people showed up to dance.

“We’re working to make this event even bigger and better than before,” Nymaster said, adding that she reached out to local schools and dance communities about the event this year as well.

Nyemaster said that a 9-year-old boy showed up to a weekday rehearsal clothed in Michael Jackson attire, sparkling glove and all, ready to give tribute to the pop legend.

Volunteers at the event will be available to paint attendees’ faces to make them look like zombies.

“We really wanted to invite the local community and get people involved,” Nyemaster said. “We have a lot of excited people who have wanted to join. The response has been very positive.”

No. 25 Wildcats back in action on road Rose Aly Valenzuela Arizona indoor volleyball will put its new No. 25 ranking to the test when it faces the Rocky Mountain schools on the road this weekend.

The UA is also ranked No. 17 in the latest NCAA RPI rankings.

The Wildcats improved by 13 spots from the previous week.

After sweeping UCLA and No. 1 USC last weekend, Arizona travels to Colorado to face the Buffaloes on Friday night at 6 and Utah on Sunday afternoon at 1 in

a match that will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.

Colorado beat Oregon State last weekend to get out of a threematch losing streak. Junior Taylor Simpson leads the Buffs, as she is ranked eighth in the Pac-12 with 3.48 kills per set.

Sophomore Nicole Edelman is fourth in the league in assists and junior Kelsey English is in the top 10 of the conference in both hitting percentage and blocks.

Utah is second in the Pac-12 in blocks and No. 22 in the RPI. Utah junior Bailey Bateman is ranked

1990 seems so long ago to CU fans. The one-time national champion has slowly faded from relevance since claiming its first and only NCAA football championship.

The move to the Pac-12 in 2011 was supposed to reverse its fortunes, but so far it hasn’t. Three seasons into the new conference and Colorado has posed a Pac-12 record of

No. 5 in the conference for blocks.

All three teams earned high numbers in their stats with the help of players like Arizona’s junior Madi Kingdon, who had 33 kills in two victories and was named the Pac-12 conference Offensive Player of the Week.

Freshman setter Penina Snuka has also received a Pac-12 weekly honor for the second time this season, being named Freshman of the Week.

3-18. Its inaugural season has so far been its most successful, as the Buffaloes posted a 2-7 record with wins over Utah and Arizona.

Currently, Colorado is only breaking bad team records. CU has lost 11 straight conference games, dating back to 2012, and was 0-of-15 on third down against Oregon on Oct. 5.

Despite all of that, CU and its fans truly believe it can win Saturday, and it would love to do nothing more than end its current losing streak and beat the Wildcats for a second time in three seasons.

Saturday is homecoming for CU and is its annual “Back to Boulder” Homecoming Game. This time, CU fans have been encouraged to wear not just the typical black but also pink, in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

chosen through a submission contest to the school newspaper. The person with the winning mascot won a grand prize of $5. Prior to the Buffaloes, Colorado had several mascots, from the Yellow Jackets to the Big Horns.

Colorado’s mascot, Ralphie the Buffalo, is brought out on the field by her wranglers every game before each half.

The Colorado Buffaloes were invited to join the Pac-12 in 2010 but haven’t done much other than suffer chronic losses. Colorado has managed to win a meager three games in Pac-12 play, only one at home, against Arizona in 2011.

The Buffs weren’t always such a disgrace to college football, though. In 1990, they won the National Championship in a game against Notre Dame with a dramatic final score of 10-9.

That game was just a reflection of the drama that followed the Buffaloes all season. For example, during the last play of a game against the Missouri Tigers, the Buffaloes ran for five downs. This was obviously an error by the officials, who didn’t keep track of the drives accurately. But in the end, the Buffs ran in for a touchdown on the fifth down, going on to win the game.

Football just isn’t the University of Colorado’s claim to fame anymore, but its outdoor activities, beautiful scenery and other mile-high activities compensate for what it lacks in athletics.

1. Freshman orientation

With junior quarterback Connor Wood struggling, CU head coach Mike MacIntyre called upon freshman Sefo Liufau to beat Charleston Southern last week.

In his first career start, Liufau successfully led the Buffaloes (3-3, 0-3 Pac-12 Conference) to a decisive 43-10 victory. The true freshman threw for 198 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions in his debut.

Liufau received a lot of help from freshman running back Michael Adkins II, who also made his first career start last Saturday and set the school’s freshman touchdown record with four rushing touchdowns.

Though Liufau had negative eight yards rushing against Charleston Southern, he is a dual-threat quarterback and a capable pocket passer. As an 18-year-old, Liufau is
