Colorado Buffaloes Tickets: Historical Overview

In football, the Colorado Buffaloes have appeared in 28 bowl games. The school's first bowl outing was in 1937 at the Cotton Bowl. For the most part, Colorado was overmatched in the Big 8 Conference (1960-95) against college football heavyweights Oklahoma and Nebraska.

The best era for the program was an eight-year stretch from 1989-96. In this period, the Buffaloes were one of the top squads in all of college football, with five finishes in the top 8.

On the basketball side, Colorado has made ten trips to the NCAA tournament. On two occasions (1942 and 1955), the Buffaloes reached the Final Four. Over the last four decades, the program has been limited to just a pair of March Madness appearances.

Championship Seasons

In the Big 8, the Buffaloes won five conference championships in football (1961, 76, 89-91). In 1989, Colorado went undefeated in the regular season, but lost to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl as the top-ranked team in the nation. In the following year, the Buffaloes gained some revenge on the Fighting Irish with a 10-9 victory in the Orange Bowl to claim the school's only national championship.

Head coach Bill McCartney (1982-94) had completed a remarkable turnaround at Colorado after winning a total of just seven games in his first three seasons.

In hoops, the Buffaloes have won five Big 8 regular season titles. Three of the championships came in the sixties under head coach Sox Walseth.
