Overview

  • CU announced Friday that the new live mascot will make her first pregame run on Saturday night against Wyoming.
  • Ralphie VII is a 1-year-old bison described by the program as eager to run, with a nickname to be chosen after her debut.
  • The bison was gifted by the Beauprez Family of Eagle’s Wing Ranch near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
  • Ralphie VI, known as Ember, stepped aside before the season due to reluctance to sprint and will reside on the ranch alongside Ralphie V.
  • Handlers completed on-field preparations this week as the program restores a tradition that had been absent for the past two home games.
