BOULDER — The names are familiar to anyone who follows the Colorado Buffaloes: Folsom, Balch, Ward, Prentup and Potts, just to name a few.
They are the names on CU's athletic facilities, folks from the past whose contributions to the university merited remembrance.
Some are well-known to those who have a little sense of history. Fred Folsom, CU's second football coach, built the Buffs into a regional power and still has the best winning percentage of any football coach in CU history with more than one season at the helm. Frank Potts, legendary cross country and track coach, served as a CU coach and administrator for 41 years — still a CU record.
