Even NU has place at new CU golf course
By Gary Baines
ERIE, Colo. — In an event where black and gold were the colors of the day, it was something painted red and white that signified "University of Colorado" more than anything.
At Saturday's dedication festivities for Colorado National Golf Club -- the new home for CU's golf teams -- parked on the side of the putting green was a range-ball picking vehicle colored red and white, with a Nebraska football helmet on the roof and an "N" emblazoned on the front.
Keep in mind that range-ball pickers are often the target of people hitting balls on the practice range, and what better target for a CU fan than a symbol of the NU football team, long a dreaded nemesis of the Buffs.
And guess whose idea it was to decorate this bull's-eye of sorts with Husker symbols? None other than CU football coach Dan Hawkins, who attended Saturday's function.
Well I hope Coach Hawk & the Buffs are having a nice spring. It must distract them from that 60+ yard field goal ending their dream of a bowl game. Too soon? Who cares? I'm glad the duffers at CU at are taking shots at the Big Red. Lest we forget that the Huskers have smacked the Buffs more times than Ike smacked Tina.
