<p>The 2013 calendar year is starting off on a great note for University of Colorado senior Shalaya Kipp as she was named the 2012 College Women's Athlete-of-the-Year as selected by the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, announced on Tuesday afternoon.</p>

<p>It was a whirlwind day for Mike MacIntyre, who was approached by CU, presented a weekend offer and accepted before first setting foot on the Boulder campus. He arrived in Colorado at mid-afternoon Monday, met with CU President Bruce Benson, Chancellor Phil DiStefano and Bohn, then met with his new team for about 35 minutes prior to the press conference. He advised them to “do well on exams, don’t do a double negative – just because you’re down a little on what happened, I’m here to help you move forward.</p>

<p>The ��ɫ��Ƶ will introduce Mike MacIntyre as its new head football coach at a press conference later this afternoon (Monday, December 10), at 4 p.m. at the Byron White Club Room at Folsom Field.</p>

<p>The University of Colorado administration vows Jon Embree’s successor will find a renewed commitment to football when he steps on campus and continues the process of rebuilding the besieged Buffaloes program. Chancellor Phil DiStefano and Athletic Director Mike Bohn said at a Monday news conference that CU recognizes how high the bar has been raised with the Buffs joining the Pac-12 Conference – and the school’s hiring of a new coach will reflect that.</p>

<p>Jon Embree has been dismissed as University of Colorado head football coach, athletic director Mike Bohn announced Sunday evening.</p>
<p>Embree took over as the school’s 24th full-time head coach in December 2010, just the third alumni to do so.  In two seasons, his teams compiled a 4-21 record.  This past fall, CU finished 1-11, which included a 1-8 record in Pac-12 Conference play.</p>
<p>University of Colorado President Bruce Benson, CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano and Bohn released the following joint statement:</p>

<p>Fire the coach? Not so fast says a new study of elite college football teams.</p>
<p>Professors from the University of Colorado and Loyola University Chicago studied what happened to the records of college football teams that replaced a head coach for performance reasons in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division 1-A) between 1997 and 2010. Over this period, an average of 10 percent of FBS teams fired their coach each year because of the team’s poor performance on the field.</p>

<p>Have you been “Back to Boulder?” It’s a question being posed by the ��ɫ��Ƶ Alumni Association to its family of more than 250,000 students and alumni. Alumni, current students, faculty, staff and community members will find a broad slate of activities for the 2012 Homecoming weekend starting Thursday, Nov. 1. A full description of activities and events as well as event registration can be found on the Back to Boulder website at <a href="http://www.cualum.org/back2boulder">http://www.cualum.org/back2boulder</a>.</p>

<p>Help CU secure the title of the Pac-12's most active school by participating in the Pac-12 Fitness Challenge from Oct. 22-28. The challenge is a conference-wide initiative promoting regular physical activity. This event is open to students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and family.</p>

<p>Imagine competing in a club sport where you meet your only teammate for the first time right before the competition begins. You’re not allowed to practice together beforehand and the equipment you use is new to you.</p>
<p>This may sound like an unreasonable challenge, but it’s designed to create a fair competition. Just ask juniors Kelly Meyer and Lauren DeGeorge, members of <a href="http://www.colorado.edu/StudentGroups/Equestrian/">CU-Boulder’s equestrian team</a>, who compete in intercollegiate English and Western riding competitions, where they are judged on skill and ability.</p>

<p>The CU basketball seasons will officially kick off Friday night at Buffs Madness after the conclusion of the CU volleyball match against Arizona State.  The volleyball match starts at 7 p.m. and Buffs Madness will go right after.<br />
