Buffs Fans: Paul Backowski? Any information? - The Orange Mane

Hey, it seems like a Buff has transfered to be a Bison (heh) and I was wondering if you Colorado fans could tell me a little about him.

Buff's Lineman Transfers

Anything you have is appreciated.

Is this something I should get excited about or not? I guess word around here is our OL is looking to be one of the best we've ever had, so I was just seeing if this guy would help. . .

Aren't Bison and Buffaloes in the same family?? Just asking. Have no answer to the question tho!

I think he'll be a decent OT and will probably end up starting this year for the Bison. Big kid, kind of slender though.

edit: That article lists him at 295....I don't think he was anywhere near 295 while at CU. Hence the slender comment.

All the 'Buffaloes' in the US are in fact North American Bison. Buffaloes exist mostly in Africa and are a different species. Or maybe a different genus. Whatever.

(I grew up in a town named Buffalo and my high school mascot was a Bison, so we were the "Buffalo Bison". True story.)

Talk about an identity crisis!

"I am a Bison and I live in Buffalo."

Heh

Big kid. I thought he was a sleeper or diamond in the rough type. I always held out hope for him.

Why did they add silver piping to the Buffs uniforms?

I know better....I feel like I'm being set up...dirty rammie!

Silver is one of CU school colors. Silver and gold, that how we roll!!!!!!

All prejudice aside, I thought the CU uniforms were some of the best in the NCAA. Just not sure why the thought they needed to change.
