Plati-'Tudes No. 102 … I know, I know, two within two months; my plan is to get back to penning a few more of these … Happy to announce the hiring of Jason Clay (Colorado'06) as associate SID; he'll be helping me with football and skiing. Jason was in my class in the School of Journalism and has had a meteoric rise in the business, ascending to the assistant AD/external communications at Fresno State less than a decade out of school … Our women's soccer team will once again open CU's 2016-17 athletic season, participating in two Colorado Cup matches this weekend; the season opener is tonight at Air Force and then Danny Sanchez' Buffs turn around and host Colorado State Sunday afternoon … For those who are wondering (imagine it's very few of you, or at least I hope so!
