CSU gave the Mountain West Conference The Boot. But its annual football rivalry game with Wyoming is back on its feet. The athletic directors for the Rams and Cowboys announced a contract to renew the longstanding rivalry series Thursday. CSU and Wyoming are slated to play eight straight times from 2028-2035, with the Rams hosting during even years (’28, ’30, ’32, ’34) and the Cowboys hosting in the odd ones (’29, ’31, ’33, ’35).

CSU leads the overall football series but the Pokes have won seven of the last eight meetings. Since 1968, the Border War winner has been awarded the Bronze Boot, a boot worn by Colorado State ROTC professor Captain Dan J.
