The Clock Strikes Midnight on the Big XII


Boulder extinguished the Big XII era in dramatic fashion. It was a time and place that seems so distant to right now.

At 12:01 AM early this morning the switchover became official. The University of Colorado-Boulder and Utah Utes are a part of the PAC-12 Conference. This is the dawning of a new era for all twelve components.

A mere 12 hours later on the CU campus people are excited. The bell struck twelve times. It did not happen for the time of day that students are so accustomed to, but rather the turning of a page in the prestigious universities history; a simple christening of future big things to come. 

Like a dark fog lifting over uncharted waters there is no telling what lies ahead.  No map to guide CU on their way.

The Buff nation, in purest of forms, has unbridled enthusiasm about the Pac-12. Students from the west coast, and pretty much everywhere else, are ready for this transition to begin. They are ready to move on like a Friday night after a big presentation; holding nothing back. 

All 30,198 students should be able to feel the pride in the air today as the Golden Buffaloes ring in the beginning of something truly special.
