This is one of the wildest roles in college football. Imagine your job is to run 120 yards across a field with an animal that can kill you in front of fifty thousand screaming people once per week. I’m talking about the Ralphie Handlers: the folks who handle Colorado’s live bison mascot. I’m going to run through three insane stories about this Boulder tradition including one when she got loose. Before I do, if you want an easier way to make money in college football than running with a Bison, check out Prize Picks and use my code “ADAMB” for a $100 deposit match — link in bio. First — The current Ralphie, Ralphie six, was partly raised by a beef cow after it was orphaned. Second story isn’t a story — It’s a fact. Ralphie isn’t a buffalo. She’s an American Bison. Buffalo don’t exist in North America. We only have bison. Last story, Ralphie V did get loose at a spring game in 2008.  She slipped out of her harness, and ran some dude over, but miraculously, he’s not serious...
