Welcome to the Ralphie Report as the Colorado Buffaloes prepare to take on the USC Trojans in Los Angeles, California. The time is now for the Buffaloes to get their first Pac-12 road victory as the Trojans are struggling mightily. Colorado can't fall pray to the bad road losses that they have experienced in recent years and it would be nice to see the momentum from the Arizona win carried through tonight and into Saturday's match-up with UCLA. Go Buffs!

Spencer Dinwiddie's parents bought SIXTY tickets tonight
couldn’t spare one for your boy?
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
no wonder I couldn't find a decent seat online
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Fox sports West is showing Wazzu/ Arizona
which tells you how much people here care about USC basketball
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Just noticed that.
so dumb
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
Did you buy it Phil?
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
yes, but it's not loading right now. Currently listening to 760
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Nothing like paying for a service that doesn't work
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
I guess it's kind of like buying USC season tickets
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
also makes me feel better about the wonkiness of BuffsTV
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Carlon Brown for 3 3-0
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Roberson layup, 5-0
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Im really close to paying out (gambling wise)
and still put way too much on the Buffs when I saw they were dogs.
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
Unbelievable! USC is favored? Thats some serious disrespect.
BuffnBigD - January 26, 2012
I probably would have, too
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
7-0. Someone else scored
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Tomlinson
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
there's nobody here....
Don’t think there are 2000 folks in the stands
HBbuff - January 26, 2012 via mobile
Are you there?
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
yep
HBbuff - January 26, 2012 via mobile
Be as loud there as the Zona fans were at the CEC please
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
says, "there's nobody HERE," so I'd guess yes
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
That's why I asked!
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
LET THE MAN WATCH HIS GAME
he’s the only one who can
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
F!!!
I filled forty pages with the wrong info because I somehow couldn’t convert time zones. http://www.artofwinter.co/auction.cfm
If the auction starts at 9 pacific it’s 10 mountain, not 8 mountain Jon you moron.
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
ouch.
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
I bought it too...
and all I got was a fancy loading screen that alternates between USC and CU logos. Lame.
SeeSpotRun - January 26, 2012
yep, me too.
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
UPDATE: video still won't load
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
BREAKING
Sources confirm.
SeeSpotRun - January 26, 2012
No Oregon/Bay area Pac 12 games tonight?
BuffnBigD - January 26, 2012
I just used their trouble shooting help
reloaded the page… and now the game isn’t even showing up as an option
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
this is unbelievable
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Yeah, just tried it on another computer
And no video option. What a load of bullshit
SeeSpotRun - January 26, 2012
the ladies won, 69-67
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Great
cnbuff410 - January 26, 2012
alright, well this is just the capper on a pretty shit week
so these guys had better win
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
from Thorburn:
I am in the upper press box with other lowly scribes. Will inquire about webcast at half.
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
What did I miss?
up by 10 so we are playing well right?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
from the USC twitter:
“The TV networks will not allow us to stream live, but the game will be archived and available to watch later.”
So they advertised a streaming game, then pulled it because of TV, for a game not on TV. Awesome
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Can you even get 760?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
yeah, I'm listening
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
but I PAID to watch
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
BS
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Well you get the velvety voice that is Mark Johnson
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Can stream it via iHeartRadio app on iphone/ipad
SFBuff - January 26, 2012
Can't wait for the PAC 12 Network next year
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
WBB with the win nice
is there women’s team better than their men’s?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
like, in a head to head matchup? Likely
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
wow
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Austin!
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
USC C Dewayne Dedmon has a sprained left knee. He is not likely to return tonight.
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
ESPN Gamecast isn't even working
Now listening on the I heart radio app to 760
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
I had the same issues with gamecast. so weird
I was thinking, “this is one low scoring game” until I realized it wasn’t refreshing
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
Ha
I thought the exact same thing then I saw that the time hadn’t moved
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
Adams looks better
or in this case sounds better every game
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
I wonder if I can make it during halftime
rush hour is over now…
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Can anyone sort out for me why people hate Buffscoop and why people hate Allbuffs
and why Allbuffs hates Allbuffs?
Never really visited this sites but they all seem so unhappy with each other.
It’s probably none of my business but it’s pretty fascinating.
Anyways makes me appreciate Ralphie Report that much more
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Where did you even see that?
Do they complain on the sites?
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
Yup
they seem to really enjoy making each other miserable
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Might just be me
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
I don't frequent Allbuffs because I hate the layout and those guys are nuts
re: Buffscoop, I can only speak for me, but I don’t like them because they don’t really seem to care about what the athletes/ AD want. They leak anything. Granted, as an independent site, that’s what they thrive on. That’s their business model. But most of the people paying for a subscription definitely do have an affection for the AD and our prospective recruits. So those 2 philosophies don’t necessarily jibe. SO I won’t pay for their service.
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Yea, Plati was not happy when the new staff "asked" to credential BuffScoop.
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
How does that work anyway
can anyone with a blog get credentialed?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
No, they're actually very strict about it.
We were actually the first they ever allowed and that was a year after we initially inquired.
We still can’t front page any of your fan posts unless you use your real first name (like Phil).
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
That's a weird rule
So they can track your donation record?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
not really. It's up to the schools to self police
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
It's one of those things were you don't get caught until you get caught.
But it’s not just donations. Once you purchase season tickets… you’re a booster.
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
I don't begrudge them for what they do
They kind of have to because they have no other support. But I don’t have to support them.
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Exactly...
SFBuff - January 26, 2012
oh, one more thing
I would guess that when they do interviews with unsigned recruits- those are recruiting violations
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Doesn't Adam Munsterteiger do the same thing?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
does he publish recruit interviews?
I thought he was covered by Rivals anyway
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
As long as they aren't boosters they can interview.
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
but anyone who donates anything at all is a booster
I was trying to talk to Dinwiddie and Booker last year because they had already signed. Hell, when they players tweet the recruits? violation
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Is a season ticket holder considered a donor?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
yes
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
So the NCAA can use a player can make millions off a players likeness but he can't get interviewed by a season ticket holder?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Because someone who has the money to buy a season ticket is obviously a bigger fan....
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
correct! Ain't the NCAA grand?
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Ass backwards
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Yep.
I intentionally have a friend purchase an extra ticket for me every year
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
I like AllBuffs
Good recruiting info
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
Seems like they both have pretty good info
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Just a matter of filtering out all of their personal conversations back and forth.
BuffnBigD - January 26, 2012
Conquest Chronicles has a truly "open" thread
as in, it’s completely barren
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
not sure why Roberson isn't playing...
Brown having a nice game…and Tomlinson much improved at the point. Also, Adams does look much better.
HBbuff - January 26, 2012 via mobile
Roberson had 2 fouls early
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
guess i missed one of those
HBbuff - January 26, 2012 via mobile
because you were too busy on here (smiley emoticon)
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
what's an emoticon?
HBbuff - January 26, 2012 via mobile
this :)
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Sirius radio channel 93, if that helps anyone.
Roaring Fork Buff - January 26, 2012
I also freaked when I saw the Clippers line
#betsbetsbets
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
been watching the espn gsmecast
Seems like the most common play is “Maurice Jones missed 3 pointer”
highlandsbuff - January 26, 2012 via mobile
Sounds like if you got ripped off by USC tonight
You can call Call 1-800-781-9444 and get a refund
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
thanks
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Gonna really miss Dufault next year
Love the way that kid plays.
Thought I’d never say it but Tomlinson will be missed too. That guy has really become a general.
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
just gotta expect that others will fill the void
such is college sports
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Just hope it won't be until their senior year like Tomlinson
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
I agree about Dufault
I admit that I’ve been hard on him the last few years but he has played well this year. Still, he needs to work on making layups….keep working.
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
These guys can't shoot
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
How can USC be so bad?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
they stopped buying players
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
heyoooo
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
NICE!
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Can't wait to see these highlights
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Even Shane H-T in on the action
WOW.
Hollidayrain - January 26, 2012
How much is he going to be needed next year?
SFBuff - January 26, 2012
We'll have to see how Josh Scott does
But since Dufault is graduating, I’m guessing he’s gonna get significant PT
Hollidayrain - January 26, 2012
When will we see Mills?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Utah not doing much tonight against UCLA
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
I'm looking forward to watching USC vs. Utah
/not
Hollidayrain - January 26, 2012
but I am looking forward to UCLA vs. CU
Going to be a big game for the Buffs
SFBuff - January 26, 2012
good thing that game is on TV
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Do you know the time?
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
Utah/ Ucla? now
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Ucla/ us? 1 PM local- so 3 your time
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Thanks
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
or maybe 4. I don't really know what time zone Cleveland is in
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
whats up with shannon sharpe?
fluffybuff - January 26, 2012
he's just not good enough
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
i thought he was going to be dominant this year after the NIT run,
fluffybuff - January 26, 2012
me too, but his offense hasn't improved, and he isn't the lock down defender he was projected to be
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
i assume hes going to replace nate when he leaves?
fluffybuff - January 26, 2012
I doubt it
Dinwiddie will slide over, and X Johnson/ Booker/ Adams will slide into that spot
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
ah i see
fluffybuff - January 26, 2012
but there is also replacing Brown
SFBuff - January 26, 2012
So...
Dinwiddie/ Roberson/ Scott/ X/ Adams? Booker? Gordon? Talton?… there are options. I don’t see Sharpe starting. Damn I wish we’d have recruited a shooter this year (Katin Reinhardt)
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
I don't care if they're 0-7, this looks pretty impressive for a road game
well… as impressive as an internet box score can look
nebraskasux - January 26, 2012
+1
highlandsbuff - January 26, 2012 via mobile
We are going to be very young next year
I think we will be projected to finish even lower than we were this year.
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
I don't think so
we were projected to finish 11th. And the talent we are bringing in is better than what we’re losing
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
last? I doubt that, we can't be picked much lower!
nebraskasux - January 26, 2012
Not sure about that
Losing Brown will hurt but our freshman this year will be better and our recruits coming in are solid
CleBUFFS - January 26, 2012
I see ourselves almost mirroring this years team
slow start, maybe 1-3 disappointing losses than surprising people.
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
We were underdogs. UNDERDOGS IN THIS GAME
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
says the man rolling around on his bed covered by dollars
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
this isn't over
We’re only up 21
Buff-in-CA - January 26, 2012
Yes but Im getting one point five!
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
Make. it. rain.
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
good on Boyle for getting Sharpe some significant minutes in his hometown
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
2 more boards Andre...
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
and I'm gonna be extra pissed for missing this
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
what a weird box score
Dinwiddie is our leading rebounder with 9
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
we're almost doubling them up on the boards
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
glad I can't watch...
…“the most spectacular play of Austin’s career.”
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
You going to the UCLA game?
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
reply hazy, try again
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Tomorrow order horchata and ride a bike
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
I'm gonna go watch some TV, this ones o-vah
firstrowsports BETTER have the UCLA game. That site has been dissapointing me lately
nebraskasux - January 26, 2012
They always require a torrent stream for CU games
is that a scam?

I didn't bother to mention that...
… I didn’t get thanked for:
the design idea
the font
Spending half of my day designing the alternative.
But I won’t mention that
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Im going to edit you completely out of the post now
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
EL OH EL. From the USC site:
“Actually Colorado might be the best team on the conference
Plus they will make the sweet 16”
um, thanks bro
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
lol, sure, let's go with that.
Hollidayrain - January 26, 2012
Skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
A-A-A-SKIA
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
OK, I'm gonna hunt down this hotel
It’s near Venice Beach. Shouldn’t be too hard
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Looked like it was near Topanga Park
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
um, no.
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Los Liones
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
I don't think so. Not for the announcers
that’s nowhere near Venice
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
It's about 2-3 miles from the amusement park
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Temescal Canyon
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
that's Santa Monica Pier
3 miles north of Venice
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
Gotcha
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Well done

Wasn't that the final score too?
Ba dum ching
Jon Woods - January 26, 2012
Fight on
Buff'em Up - January 26, 2012
Just got home
been following the game during dinner (the g-friend isn’t pleased). That is how your team takes care of business. USC is an inferior team and CU came out and beat them down. Love it. Bring on the Bruins and hopefully we’re talking about a road winning streak come Sunday morning.
clbuff28 - January 26, 2012
so you're like that cell phone commercial?
“are you checking the game?” “what, am I some kind of wizard who can something something something…”
Phil Fraser - January 26, 2012
she should know better than to make reservations for Thursday night
clbuff28 - January 26, 2012
Our guards were rebounding so well because USC was clanking shots far off the iron
