@lzmunsterteiger@adamcm777 Liz, thank you for being so vulnerable and showing a side of grief that’s often forgotten about. Time feels different when you lose a loved one.
Thank you for honoring him in the best way you possibly could at such a difficult time. 🖤💛
@adamcm777 and I took a lot of misplaced pride in not asking for help.
We never wanted to burden anyone. We always believed we could pull through our challenges together.
When Adam went to the hospital for the first time just one month ago, I had an overwhelming feeling that I needed help. He was going to have a long road to recovery, and the last thing I wanted to worry about was cooking for a few days. So I asked some dear friends to set up a meal train to help us while Adam rested and I became his on-call nurse.
As you all know, that long recovery didn’t happen. He was taken from this world much too soon.
If you feel called to donate, please only do so if it will not cause hardship, inconvenience, or discomfort in your own day-to-day life. Our family is so deeply grateful for the love and support we have already received.
And if you are not able to donate monetarily, please know that your stories mean just as much, if not more. Tell his story. Share your memories of him, even if you never met him in person. Those words have brought me, the kids, and our whole family so much comfort.

Thank you, @UncleNeely for giving us those words. They have become our rally call!

@lzmunsterteiger@adamcm777 Your strength is admiring, Liz. Such a beautiful tribute to Adam. He beamed anytime he spoke about you or the kids. Love and light to you through this difficult time. 💛🖤
I moved to Bluesky a while back and lost contact with some of the CU community. Nonetheless regardless of the website being used, the CU community saved me and I’ll always be eternally grateful for a lot of you. 🫶🏻
This one hurts. I am a firm believer that sometimes the people you know the least are some of your biggest supporters. Adam was exactly that in a lot of people’s lives. A true mentor, a true friend, a true buff through and through. It’s hard to imagine coverage of CU without him.
CU Athletics is heartbroken to learn of the passing of Adam Munsterteiger.
Adam was a light in our Buffs community who covered CU sports and shared student-athlete stories for more than two decades. Our deepest condolences go to his wife, Liz, and their family.
Yo Buff Nation. Adam from Buff Stampede isn’t doing too well right now and could use all the prayers and support you can give. It is my understanding his health took a sudden turn last night and he’s fighting for his life. Please pray!
Ok. Some of the people on this app talking about CU football are driving me crazy.
Was Prime wrong for calling out a former Buff great? Yep.
Was Nelly wrong for discuss Tawfiq’s $ value? Yep.
Does fighting during practice set up a greater possibility of penalties and ejections during real games? Yep
Have some folks taken unfair shots at Prime? Yep.
Are people way off base calling this team small? Yep.
All the above have been recent topics on this app. And all with wildly varying opinions and responses highlighting the differences in the fan base.
Let’s let our love of the Colorado Buffaloes be something that brings us together. I find it absolutely ridiculous that people feel entitled enough to question others love and desire for success for the program because they don’t share the same opinion.
Didn’t ya’ll play at the schoolyard, get into a beef with someone but had to work your conflict resolution skills so you could play together the next day? How about we use those childhood skills a little more:)
People are being called haters, bitches, clowns, etc for expressing their opinion. Former players who laid it on the line on Folsom Field are having their Buff love questioned by people who became fans four years ago.
Yes, Prime came into the program after a rough stretch. And brought some success and certainly a lot of eyeballs.
But there will Buff football after Prime. There was Buff football before Prime. In fact, the program is top 30 all time. We won a national championship beating Notre Dame to get it done. Won big time bowl games. Whipped up on Oklahoma and Nebraska. Produced tons of All Americans. Tons of drafted players. Tons men of are strong members and leaders in their communities.
All before Prime. And we will find a path to do those things again after Prime.
No one owns CU football, it is bigger than this current twitter beef. It is bigger than one coach or hell, me as a former player.
There is an incredibly proud legacy and so many amazing people whose shoulders we stand on when we wear the uniform or sport the colors at a game.
So….can we merge the former Buff greats with opinions with this new crop of Buff fans?
Really hoping so. Because….we all have the same damn goal. Buffs winning games. Buffs winning Big12 titles. Buffs winning championships. Buffs winning awards. Buffs getting drafted. Buffs making the mark in their communities.
Personally, I want the Buffs to win every games. I want these kids to have the same AMAZING experience I had. I loved being a Buff then and love it now. But…that desire does not stop me from calling things out when I think something is wrong. Or when I see some bullshit happening on the field or with the media. Did the same thing with past coaches and will do the same thing with future coaches.
There is more than one way to be a fan….but singing the fight song would be a great start!
