39. College Football Traditions

College football with its sea of fans, raucous crowds, college bands, and adrenaline rush is a staple of higher education in the United States. Hear about unique college football traditions, starting with Pint, the tee retrieval dog for the University of California Davis football team. Pint is a third generation Davis resident and is retiring after 10 seasons of retrieving the kickoff tee. His owner, UC Davis veterinary professor Danika Bannasch, tells us about Pint's storied career and his post-retirement plans. Then we travel to Boulder, Colorado, home to University of Colorado's live mascot, Ralphie the Buffalo. Find out about Boulder's 300 miles of bikeways, the flatirons, and Chinook Winds.
