Ralphie's Retiring!

After 12 seasons running like crazy across the football field,  University of Colorado's beloved mascot (#5) is taking a break.

Ralphie's going out to pasture.




We'd heard it was 'temperament issues,' and assumed she was old and crabby. The opposite is true -- she was getting excited, and running too fast for her handlers to keep up!





Ralphie #6 will be out there soon, doing her stuff.  (P.S. She's always a girl, by the way.)




Meanwhile, the Buffs celebrated her retirement by beating the Washington Huskies 20-14.


Go Buffs!
