                           COLORADO BUFFALOES

  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, Coloradans were devastated to learn that 
the Colorado Buffaloes had no chance whatever to win our football game 
this weekend with Oklahoma.
  Early in the week the Oklahoma Coach Schnellenberger said, referring 
to our Colorado team, ``Our football team would prefer Detmer play. I 
don't want a damn asterisk when we beat their posteriors.'' Actually, I 
believe he used a different term than ``posterior.''
  Upon being advised of the Oklahoma coach's statement implying the 
game's result was a foregone conclusion, our Colorado Coach, Rick 
Neuheisel, inquired if it would be OK if our team showed up anyway. He 
indicated that Colorado already paid the rent on the plane and would 
have a great deal of trouble getting our deposit back if we did not 
show up.
  Mr. President, Oklahoma's reputation as being a great football power 
is legendary. The Golden Buffs feel honored to merely be able to appear 
with them in Memorial Stadium in Norman, OK. Our only hope is that the 
Oklahoma Sooners will be gentle with us.
  Mr. SMITH. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak in morning 
business for up to 5 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
