BOULDER — Nobu Koga still remembers the exact night he became a Colorado Buffaloes football fan: Oct. 17, 1992.
The game — the first he ever attended — changed his life.
Now Koga wants to make sure other CU students in the future are afforded the same opportunity he enjoyed. Koga has committed to provide one of the largest gifts in Colorado Athletic Department history.
Koga's first CU football game saw the seventh-ranked and unbeaten Buffaloes rally from a fourth-quarter deficit to escape with a 24-24 tie against Oklahoma. It took a 53-yard Mitch Berger field goal in the final seconds to tie the game and send a sold-out CU crowd into a celebration.
