So You Wanna Be a Buffoon... er, I Mean, Buff? A Guide to Conquering the CU Student Sports Pass
Ah, the CU Student Sports Pass. It's like a magic portal, but instead of Narnia, it whisks you away to a land of screaming crowds, sweaty athletes, and overpriced nachos. It's the ultimate badge of Buffhood, a golden ticket to witness history in the making (or at least some pretty cool slam dunks). But before you can don your face paint and scream yourself hoarse, you gotta snag that pass, my friend. And let me tell you, it's an adventure.
Step 1: Embrace the Inner Hamster (But Hold Onto Your Dignity, Kinda)
First things first, you gotta be fast. Like, Olympic sprinter fast. Because these passes disappear quicker than a free pizza at a frat party. Think Black Friday crowds, but with more body paint and less questionable fashion choices. So set your alarms, clear your schedule, and prepare to channel your inner Usain Bolt. Remember, hesitation is the enemy. You snooze, you lose (those sweet, sweet seats).

Welcome to the land of Paciolan, the official gateway to Buffy-ness. Prepare for a website that's about as user-friendly as a blindfolded Rubik's Cube. Be prepared to click, scroll, and maybe even shed a tear of frustration. But fear not, brave adventurer! Just follow these handy dandy steps:
- Log in: This is where things get interesting. If you haven't registered your Buff OneCard yet, consider this your baptism by fire. Deep breaths, my friend, deep breaths.
- Find the dang pass: It's like Where's Waldo, but with more pixels and less striped shirts. Good luck deciphering the cryptic menus and hidden links.
- Click the "buy" button: Now, here's the fun part. Watch as the little loading thingy spins, taunting you with the possibility of failure. Will it go through? Will your Buff dreams be crushed? Only time will tell...
- Victory Dance (Optional): If you actually managed to buy the pass, congratulations! You've officially graduated from Buffoon to Buff. Do a jig, sing a song, high-five a stranger – you deserve it!
Step 3: Claim Your Prize (The Holy Grail Awaits)
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.![]()

It's a whole other rodeo, so be prepared for more clicking, waiting, and maybe a silent prayer to the Ticket Gods. For other sports, simply flash your Buff OneCard at the door and bask in the glory of free admission. You earned it, champ!

So there you have it, folks. Your guide to conquering the CU Student Sports Pass. Remember, it's a journey, not a destination. Embrace the chaos, laugh at the absurdity, and most importantly, cherish the memories. Because at the end of the day, it's not about the wins or losses, it's about being part of the Buff family. Now go forth, young Padawan, and paint the town (or at least Folsom Field) crimson and gold!
P.S. Don't forget the nachos. They're overpriced, but totally worth it.
