Veteran comedian Bob Newhart would like to meet his college football referee lookalike, Greg Burks, who is a Colorado Springs native and University of Colorado-Boulder grad.
Burks, who was the referee in Monday’s first College Football Playoff championship game between Ohio State and Oregon in Arlington, Texas, was named the Mountain West Conference coordinator of football officials. The Mountain West, based in Colorado Springs, includes two local schools, Colorado State University and Air Force.
