FORT WORTH, Texas – Colorado is racking up the missed opportunities this season. On Saturday night at Amon G. Carter Stadium, CU jumped out to a big lead early, but couldn’t on, falling to TCU, 35-21. For the second week in a row, the Buffs led 14-0 early but wound up losing, falling to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in Big 12 play. It is CU’s first 0-3 start to conference play since 2017. Senior quarterback Kaidon Salter threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns – both to Omarion Miller – but he was intercepted three times in the first half.…

The Broncos are down a notable piece of their tight end room for at least the next month. Denver has officially placed TE Lucas Krull on injured reserve. Krull suffered a Jones fracture in his foot Thursday, a source told The Denver Post, didn’t practice Friday and didn’t make the team’s upcoming trip to Philadelphia and London. The plan for Krull is a short-term stint on injured reserve, sources said, which means the earliest the tight end could return would be Week 9 against the Texans in early November. Krull caught just two passes for 15 yards through his first three…

Everything in place and a place for everything. What began with team bonding at the captain’s house, the annual golf outing and spirited workouts at Family Sports Center, can end only in one place for the Avs’ season to be a success. With Gabe Landeskog raising the Stanley Cup on the ice. This expectation was a burden for the last three years, largely without the Captain. It is now the challenge we put on the franchise with Martin Necas a pending free agent and a Brinks truck new contract needed for Cale Makar after this season. The Avs have had…

RTD directors for years have prioritized converting metro Denver’s aging fleet of 995 diesel-powered buses to cleaner, quieter battery-electric vehicles, in line with Colorado’s climate goals. But agency officials are buying new diesel buses instead — and planning to borrow $539 million for diesel bus purchases over the next five years, according to documents reviewed by The Denver Post. It marks a behind-the-scenes change of direction reflecting an increasingly complicated landscape for public transit. The Regional Transportation District has long been a leader, pioneering the introduction of modern buses intended to reduce pollution. The problem is that RTD’s current diesel…
