This blog has laid dormant for the better part of 6 months, gathering dust on the Internets as I moved on to cover Aurora for YourHub.com.

But now, I'm back.

I'm hoping that there are still some people that remember this blog, The Buff Stops Here, as the place where you could find out what was going on around the CU campus, around Boulder and in the minds and on the lips of students and residents. Also, I threw in some events and news links for good measure.

I'm hoping that this will be the place you come to again to get your news about what's the good word in Boulder and around CU.

We'll talk CU football, basketball and soccer. We'll have discussions about what's going on in the community. But most importantly, we'll have a way to create a dialogue between members of the community and members of the media.

This blog can be your way to be the change you wish to see in the media, all you have to do is participate by posting a comment below the story or by starting your own blog about the things that are important to you.
