We are combining these two games to show the crazyness of Denver. Utah St. was held on Sept 22nd and Fresno was only two weeks later on Oct 6th. Notice anything different in the pictures? Wow - Colorado is for sure crazy with their weather!
Utah St was a fun tailgate. We are now Rams Club Members; which comes with many fun benefits. One of the benefits is that we get to tailgate in a new gravel lot (vs dirt). We think this will be a good plus on slushy days . . . Less Mud. We made the best of our site and were ready to play. Rosemary even brought a nice shade umbrella for the kids and They Loved it!

While walking through RamTown, we noted a Legend standing nearby. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to have our boys meet one of the men who shaped the CSU football program. Sonny Lubick (the stadium is named after him ~ Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium). This man led the Rams to many victories and coached our team the entire time we attended CSU. We were glad to get to shake the man's hand and tell him how much we appreciated what he accomplished for CSU.

Of course, we needed some time to watch the bands and Cam the Ram entertain his fans!

GO RAMS! |
The next game was Fresno State... and there was one MAJOR difference.... The LACK of Sun! Brrr! We made the most of it though. We set up our card table and chairs in between a Bronco tent and a CSU tent. The CSU tent had linen table cloths, flowers, wine... you get the picture. Our tailgate may have been lacking, but again ~ We made the Most of our tailgate and our good friends. Due to the expected cold game, our Gma and Gpa Cannode watched the kiddos for us so it was a kid-free zone for the day (well; at least for us!). We did enjoy some fame today as the local TV station stopped by to take some video of our tailgating. We even got a 10 second spot on TV right before the start of the game! We are FAMOUS!

After we got into the game, we found a Long Lost Friend, Billy Hundley. Billy was the boys' cateror at the LXA house and a great friend of all of ours. Amy got the pleasure of working for Billy's catering company through her college career - and Billy even catered our Wedding!
Although it was an incredibly cold game... the true CSU supporters stuck it out. Ok, I have to admit ... we didn't actually make it to the end. It was a really rough game for CSU and a really cold game for their fans. We were walking out with five minutes left of the game and we heard the canons fire - CSU got a touchdown! At least it wasn't a shut out against Fresno State. Just glad we got to enjoy so much time with great friends. It made sitting through a cold game totally worth it!
