 The initial tradition was for five sophomore class officers to run the buffalo around the outside of the stadium in a full loop . At the conclusion of the tiring activities , the fans would break into the “ Buffalo Stomp , ” which would literally shake the stadium in deafening fashion as the team took the field . However , Colorado officials soon had the tradition stopped because of the actual physical damage it was causing . Ralphie first attended a game on October 1 , 1966 when Colorado played Kansas State . She did not run at that game , but stood on the sideline . Colorado won the game 10 @-@ 0 .
