College football enthusiasm will pack Folsom Field this Saturday as FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff rolls into Boulder, turning up the volume on the University of Colorado's spirit once more. Fresh off their appearance in Lubbock, Texas, the crew plans to set the stage for an exciting pregame for the match between CU Buffs and the Utah Utes, as reported by KDVR. It marks the second consecutive week the Buffs will be in the television spotlight, promising to draw eyes and ears with the ebullience of college football pageantry.
While the broadcast is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. MT on Saturday, aficionados of both teams can join the festivities starting at the crack of dawn. With doors flinging open at 5 a.m., a tailgate is set to commence at 7 a.m., paving the way for some pre-dawn revelry at CU's Farrand Field. As detailed by 9NEWS, the jam-packed event will feature the well-versed commentary of host Rob Stone along with analysts Matt Leinart, Urban Meyer, Brady Quinn, and Mark Ingram II.
Breaking through the rankings at No. 18 in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll, the Buffs have been riding high with six victories in their last seven games. They're looking to fortify their position with a home win as they take on the Utes on their turf, a game that will be broadcast nationally by FOX. Emphasizing the Buffs' current standing, the 9NEWS article captures the heightened anticipation surrounding the upcoming gridiron clash.
Not a stranger to the Big Noon Kickoff limelight, this weekend signifies Colorado's third bout with FOX's spotlight this season alone. Having made prior appearances in Orlando against UCF and just last week in Texas, the Buffs are neither inexperienced with the media frenzy nor the early rise necessary for the event, as gates to the pit swing open at 6:30 am. As obtained by Ralphie Report, setting a 5:30 am alarm will be "worth it" for fans wanting to snag a front-row view of the action.
