Wild story out of Colorado today – dude broke into the football offices with a fucking machete.

Ed O’Malley pulled up to the Stadium Drive closure after he received a text from his wife saying she was in the building and had locked herself in a room.

“She said there was someone running around with a machete,” he said. “Then I didn’t hear from her for about 10 minutes. I got pretty nervous.”

Lindsey Ritz works in the sports medicine department in the building and usually is on the second floor of the Champions Center, but said she was working late today. She was on her way in when she heard.

“It’s definitely surreal,” she said.

Ritz said she got a hold of her coworkers and they told her they were fine, but operations would likely shut down for the day.

Colorado is tearing it up this year – 4-1, top 25 ranking, lone leaders of the Pac-12 South. Last thing they need is the bad juju of crazy motherfuckers breaking in and swinging gigantic swords around while they’re breaking down film.
