From Bossier basketballs to Colorado buffaloes; A matter of choices
Members of the University of Colorado Ralphie Handler Team, Colin Hinman, Rob Seib, Kellan Phillips, Chris Milinazzo and Danielle Morgan, warm up before a practice session at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo., Nov. 19, 2010. Ralphie, a live buffalo, is one of the more unique mascots in all of intercollegiate athletics. She leads the football team out on the field both at the start of the game and second half. It was in the final game of the 1934 season, when a live buffalo made its first appearance after a group of students paid $25 to rent a buffalo calf along with a real cowboy as his keeper. It took the cowboy and four students to keep the calf under control on the sidelines during the 7-0 win at the University of Denver on Thanksgiving Day. (Courtesy photo/Jeff Walston)
