FORT COLLINS — Coach Robert O’Brien’s fiery halftime speech had one overarching theme. “He just told us, ‘Don’t blink,'” teary-eyed Broomfield Eagles senior Elliot Less said. Easier said than done.

Sonya Jaquez Lewis from her committee assignments in response to renewed allegations that she mistreated employees in her office, which also prompted the state’s legislative aide union to call for her resignation.
