Some of you old timers may remember this but, Zim called his first game for CU at LSU in ‘71.


OUCH - that’s tough game for Tiger fans to recall. Colorado came into Tiger Stadium and kicked our a$$ that night.

I talked to a tiger defensive lineman a long time ago about that game A good many of the Colorado players had served in Vietnam before going to college and we’re older . Some had mustaches and other facial hair which wasn’t really allowed for the Tigers of that time . Colorado also had some talent to go along with the hardened Vietnam veterans , Cliff Branch , being one .
Also some very famous future head coaches on that staff along with some other names , Jerry Claiborne head coach at Kentucky for a long time , Jim Mora. , Steve Sidwell, and a Dan Radakovich
