BOULDER — The long-term forecast calls for mid-70s and mostly sunny skies in Boulder on Oct. 5 when the Buffs host Arizona. Which begs the question for CU coach Mel Tucker:

Shorts?

Or slacks?

“It’s a free country,” Tucker said with a grin after the Buffs’ bye week practice wrapped up here Tuesday.

Tucker has become the first CU coach since Rick Neuheisel in 1995 to notch two top 25 wins in his inaugural September. That was the big news coming out of last Saturday night’s 34-31 victory at then-No. 24 Arizona State.
