At Colorado, a blinded Zac Robinson is an angry Zac Robinson

By Matt Hinton

Colorado fans knew their struggling defense would need all the help it could get against Oklahoma State's high-flying offense Saturday night, and at least one dedicated Buff brought out the big guns -- lasers:

The jumpy laser-pointer from the crowd hit Robinson's visor and cost Oklahoma State a timeout before a 3rd-and-9 snap in the second quarter; video is here. (Hat tip: EDSBS)

That's no way to treat a native Coloradoan, but the light-wielding CU partisan(s) forgot that Zac Robinson and the rest of the Oklahoma State offense is used to having colors burned into their retinas before the snap:

The 3rd-and-9 play following the laser-induced timeout? A 29-yard touchdown pass from Robinson to Dez Bryant that put the Pokes up 13-0, the final margin in their 30-17 win. And you thought the clown-signal system was just a silly distraction.

    Nothing happened to the one shining the laser? I thought green laser over 5mW were illegal. Hmm.

    Nothing like earning a scholarship to hold up signs during a game.

    CU and their fans rival Texas Tech and their mouth breathing sociopaths.

    CU has never been able to show any class, I think the players can but the fans no way, snowballs being thrown at fieldgoal kickers,
    just not a pleasant atmosphere, but your right a few bad people shouldnt reflect on the rest of the fans but it does so the good fans should police the idiots

    Not much of a football fan. However, I stumbled across this story and found it disturbing. The person shining the laser is an idiot it would of been good on him or her if someone from the opposing team found them and kicked a little sense into them. Totally UNCOOL.

    CU is academically the second best university in the BIG 12, get over it. If you can't get into CU you go to Nebraska, if you can't get into Nebraska... you go to a school in the SEC.
    Can't we all just agree though that BIG 12 is the best in the nation?

    Crabtree gets the noteriety but if Jeremy maclin was in a red raider uniform imagine how inflated his numbers would be? And CU fans are just upset that even with lights in his eyes Zac and Dez are better than any 2 Buff's players for the past 4 years!
    OU beats Tech
    UT beat OU
    Tech beat UT
    Y can't we have a playoff system? All 3 of these teams deserve there shot!

    The game should have been forfeited immediately. Maybe if the penalty was high enough, and affected the outcome of the game (as the fan attempted to do), fans would learn to support, but not interfere with the sport.

    Wow...that's mature.
    What ridiculous behavior. I hope they were able to find the person. It's a shame that a juvenile stunt like that will color people's perception of the university.
