A Long Year For Thomas O. Hicks

A glorious 2024 campaign at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park ended as sourly as it could. Up to the 48th minute, Oliver Larraz had been playing one of his best games of the season, particularly on the defensive end. But one bad mistake from the 23-year old turned the game on its head.

CSU never waved the white flag. Too bad the zebras couldn’t stop chucking the yellow ones. Say this for Jay Norvell’s Rams: Now they’re just good enough to break your heart after dark. But they’re not good enough yet to beat two teams on the road, let alone one, on a given weekend. Oregon State needed double overtime to outlast CSU at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, 39-31, a teaser of a future Pac-12 rivalry game for the Rams, who’ll join the league in 2026.

The Colorado School of Mines football team’s three-year RMAC win streak ended in the same place the last one did — inside Stocker Stadium on the Western Slope. Colorado Mesa quarterback Liu Aumavae threw a pair of touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks rallied from 13 points down to upset fourth-ranked Mines, 14-13, and claim the Nyikos Cup on Saturday. A two-point conversion put the Mavericks (3-2, 2-1 RMAC) over the top, with Sam Horneck getting it done on a reverse option pass that handed Mines (4-1, 2-1 RMAC) its first RMAC loss in three years. The Orediggers’ last conference defeat also came at Colorado Mesa — a 26-21 loss on Oct.
