Phil Caragol

For the past seven football seasons, Phil Caragol (Comm), known to many Folsom Field attendees as Buffalo Phil, has run through the stadium on game day with a furry horned buffalo helmet adorned with a mullet and CU beer koozies. It all started after his return to Boulder seven years ago, when, during his first game back in Folsom, Phil watched disheartened students and alumni in the stands and decided he wanted to do something about it. He writes that he’s proud to serve as the Buffs’ positive and friendly 64-year-old superfan and cheerleader. He and wife Susan Blickhahn Caragol (Jour, Psych’75) live in Boulder.
