  • Bronze Boot extended: CSU, Wyoming announce renewal of football rivalry from 2028-2035
    Denver Post, Thursday - 11/14/2024 - 02:25 PM

    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). The series will take a two-year hiatus in 2026 and 2027 because of CSU’s transition from the Mountain West to the Pac-12. The Rams (6-3, 4-0 MW), who have already clinched bowl eligibility for the first time since 2017, host Wyoming (2-7, 2-3 MW) on Friday evening in a Border War game televised nationally by CBS Sports Network. 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.
