Good win, Tigers! I love watching Texas lose! Best of luck the rest of the year! :cheers:
Definitely sorry it came across that way. It was not my intent.

I also don’t think you guys would want me linking every Zim video I could find. Plus, he, not that I’m aware of anyway, never addressed the following games vs LSU. My intent was not to “one up” LSU or anything like that.

Just to express my thoughts and thanks to the community.
Chris Hudson, if I remember correctly.

Won the Thorpe award.

Edit: Sorry guys. I apparently really suck at using your board. I can’t get what I’m replying to.... to appear. I appreciate your patience with me.

Anyway, very cool responses from all of you! Even found some Colorado/LSU/Buffs! If that makes any sense.

To the guy who talked about not seeing CU on the TV anymore.... well... thank Larry Scott. PAC-12 commissioner. Basically made a template on how to keep your conference invisible on the television. So frustrating.
Good stuff. I root for CSU except for one game a year. Er...maybe two...

I want all Colorado programs to do well. I will admit that I do root for the Zoomies over CSU. I just like to see the kids at service academies do well.

Glad you root for the Buffs all of the other weeks!

I never got to see CB play. My dad got season tickets in ‘72. I was born in ‘73.

I have heard the stories about his athleticism. He was truly a special player.

But, yes. He passed away in the last week or so. By all accounts, he was a very nice person as well. RIP
Perhaps so. Can’t say I’ve been following Tiger football a ton. I just knew the story.

Anyway, thanks for the kind responses. I just wanted to share. Zim was a fixture of my youth. I’m glad it touched a few people. Still can’t get over the last few minutes of the Nebraska game in ‘86 and his call. Still get chills.

Sorry guys... I get caught up. Take care.
I hope I have placed this in the appropriate forum, first of all.

As a Colorado Buffalo fan I wanted to take a few minutes to thank the LSU/BR community for basically giving me the “voice of sports” when I was growing up.

Larry Zimmer is a product of BR and grew up a LSU fan.

Life choices and opportunities brought him to the front range of Colorado where he has been the Play by Play man and also the color commentator for both the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Buffaloes for decades.

Zim, as we call him around here, is no longer calling games. He does some pregame memory pieces and that’s about it these days.

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

Zim became a broadcasting legend because of his love for the game and watching LSU football games. And thus, made a huge impact on my life and the game of college football I hold dear.

LSU, under Les Miles, also took on one of Bill McCartneys grand children as a walk on QB. LM was a coordinator under coach Mac a CU. He got Sal Anusee. to play QB at CU. Mac told LM when he went to recruit Sal, “if you don’t come home with that kid, make your home there.” Sal was the father of that kid that walked on at LSU.

Anyway, sorry to take up your time. I just wanted to express my thanks to the LSU/BR community for what they gave CU football. I’ve never been to DV but I really hope CU gets LSU on the schedule for a home and home.

One more from Larry Zimmer...

Thanks for letting me borrow a little bit of your time.
