EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first in a series of personal essays detailing how members of The Denver Post sports staff fell in love with sports. Wow! I am 9 years old, and this is the biggest group of people I have ever seen. I just walked through the south portal into Folsom Field, because the gate attendant said I could for a couple of plays. My family made the trek from Fort Collins to Boulder for homecoming, 10 years after my mom graduated from CU in 1957.
