The outcome wasnāt what we hoped for, but glad I got to fly out to Colorado from NC to meet my dad for some needed father-son time.

Colorado State wins.
Hauss Hejny looks like a living legend.
Defense did enough.
Itās a good day to be a Ram.

Have been (rightfully) extremely critical of this CSU defense.
Getting 3 late stops, including a pick-six to extend the lead to double-digits before the break is the type of sequence we haven't seen this group pull off in over a month.
That was really nice to see.

I always kept and keep it honest about CSU athletics. Some coaches loved me for it. Some hated me for it. Some players loved me for it; someā¦not so much. Some fans loved me for it; some couldnāt stand me for it.
And thatās OK.
Go Rams!
You can keep putting āGo Ramsā at the end of every post and it doesnāt change the fact that itās 100% false.

Crazy how a single stop can put some self-confidence into a defense. Can the momentum carry past the break?

There are terrible takes. And there are next-level ones like this. Sonny, forgive me for missing the first quarter of a game when I stay up until 2 am on the regular only to have it usually end in defeat.
Thatās because Matt has never been a real CSU fan. The true fans are there regardless of how the kids are playing. Iāve been supporting since 1974 so I know bad when weāre bad but not supporting isnāt and option. It is now the kids need the most support.

My wife and I are CSU grads. We usually plan our Saturdays around CSU football games. She asked me today if I was OK if we went hiking Saturday and missed a good chunk of the CSU game.
I said, "OMG, yes, please."

It doesnāt matter what system your defense runs when your players are incapable of tackling.
"We finally have a system. And these guys are finally going to learn how to play defense. It should have happened a long time ago."

Still wearing a CSU shirt today after watching literally the worst defensive performance by this program in 133 years of football.
Why?

Brennan Marion gave CSU the opportunity to not be the most embarrassing college football program in the state for 24 and we had to go and throw it away.
