Colorado likely headed to Alamo Bowl after Arizona State wins Big 12
The Colorado Buffaloes concluded their 2024 college football season with a strong 9-3 record, including a 7-2 mark in Big 12 play. In just his second year as head coach, Deion Sanders has revitalized the program, steering Colorado to the brink of a conference title game appearance. Despite narrowly missing out on the Big 12 Championship Game due to a four-way tiebreaker with BYU, Iowa State, and eventual champion Arizona State, the Buffaloes are poised for a bowl game appearance.
With Arizona State securing a 45-19 victory in the Big 12 Championship Game and clinching a College Football Playoff berth, the Buffaloes are the likely choice to represent the Pac-12 legacy schools in the Alamo Bowl. This prestigious San Antonio-based bowl has traditionally featured matchups between a Big 12 school and a Pac-12 legacy school. The Buffs, along with Arizona State, maintain ties to the Pac-12’s bowl agreements despite their transition to the Big 12, making Colorado a strong contender for the Alamo Bowl selection.
Colorado’s bowl opponent will likely be either BYU or Iowa State, both of whom finished the regular season at 10-2 with 7-2 records in Big 12 play. Interestingly, the Buffaloes did not face either team during the regular season, setting the stage for a fresh and intriguing postseason matchup.
John Elway on Travis Hunter: “No question, I would entertain him going both ways”
This marks just the third bowl appearance for Colorado in the past 17 seasons, with all three occurring at the Alamo Bowl. Unfortunately, the Buffs have struggled in their previous outings, losing 38-8 to Oklahoma State in 2016 and 55-23 to Texas in 2020. Their history at the Alamo Bowl dates back to 2002, when they fell to Wisconsin in a dramatic overtime contest, 31-28.
Deion Sanders reportedly interested in coaching offers allowing him to be ‘full self’
Overall, the Buffaloes have a 12-18 record in bowl games and are looking to end a four-game postseason losing streak. Their last bowl victory came in the 2004 Houston Bowl, a 33-28 win over UTEP. Fans can look forward to the official announcement of the Alamo Bowl matchup on Sunday at Noon ET, following the College Football Playoff rankings reveal. The game is set for Dec. 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

Arizona boy named Disneyland’s one billionth guest on his 8th birthday in memorable ceremony
An Arizona boy received the present of a lifetime while celebrating his birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth when he was honored as the one billionth guest at the California theme park.
Andres Robles, 8, walked through the gates of Disneyland Resort Friday morning ready to celebrate his 8th birthday with his parents when he received the heartfelt surprise, DisneyParksBlog reported.
The birthday boy and his parents Alejandra and Jose attended a ceremony at the Main Street USA train station platform where the beaming 8-year-old unveiled a sign showcasing the updated population of the theme park.
“Population 1,000,000,000,” read the sign.
Fittingly, Mickey and Minnie Mouse were in attendance for the special ceremony, as well as their friends Daisy and Donald Duck.
The birthday celebrations for the youngster continued after the ceremony when he was gifted with a VIP tour guide for the day — which can start at a whopping $3,500 for the luxury service.
The lucky family was treated to a tour of Walt Disney’s private apartment located on park grounds as well as the new Soarin’ Across America attraction commemorating America’s 250th birthday.
“The Robles family visit is just one of the many lifelong memories that have been created here at Disneyland Resort,” the blog wrote.
“From vacations and reunions to birthdays and more, generations of families and friends have come to Disneyland Resort to have fun together.”
Disneyland Resort — which encompasses Disneyland and Disney California Adventure — celebrated its 70th anniversary last year.
Known as the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland “has served as the inspiration behind the creation of more Disney theme parks and experiences across the globe,” according to DisneyParksBlog.
“Today, Disneyland continues its legacy as a worldwide icon and industry leader in entertainment and theme park experiences.”
“The resort continues to invest in creativity, technology and innovation to bring storytelling to new heights, while fulfilling Walt Disney’s vision that ‘Disneyland will never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world,’” the blog added.
