Work to be done

Just when you, or I, thought the news cycle was turning positive for the Buffaloes, things took a quick turn the other way… Like within minutes.

First it was this from Kyle Ringo:

RB Aaron Baltazar still working to join CU Buffs football http://t.co/IMAkyzFfQm

Now this is certainly not back-breaking news, as it seems Baltazar still has a chance to get on the right track and make it to Boulder, but it contradicts the feeling that everyone had made it to Boulder as planned and was gearing up for Fall Camp.

Baltazar isn’t a shoe-in starter, but he is extremely talented, and one of a big group of newcomers that figure to compete for playing time in the backfield. If he can’t make it to Boulder, it may mean one less freshman who the Buffs have the luxury of redshirting.

Certainly something we will keep an eye on.

Out goes Frazier

Speaking of shoe-in starters, the news got worse for the Buffs when another Daily Camera writer, Mitchell Byars broke the news that starting fullback, George Frazier is facing DUI charges.

“We certainly don’t condone George’s actions, of which he is taking full responsibility for, nor do we approve of minors in possession,” MacIntyre said in the statement. “We have strict team policies against this kind of behavior and his discipline will be handled internally.

Byars article included this statement from Buffaloes head coach, Mike MacIntyre:

“We certainly don’t condone George’s actions, of which he is taking full responsibility for, nor do we approve of minors in possession,” MacIntyre said in the statement. “We have strict team policies against this kind of behavior and his discipline will be handled internally.”

Frazier will certainly serve some sort of suspension for this incident, how long is yet to be seen.

Now we don’t know why Frazier was behind the wheel early Sunday morning, but between CU Nightride, a free ride service for students, Uber, Lyft, and his own two feet, he certainly should have been able to avoid it.
