DENVER — Colorado State picked up a verbal commitment from a Big 10 transfer on Monday. CJ Onyechi, a 6-foot-1, 250-pound edge rusher out of Rutgers, announced he plans to transfer to Fort Collins for his final season of eligibility.  Going back to 2017, his freshman season with the Scarlet Knights, Onyechi played in 43 total games for Rutgers. During that…...

DENVER — Colorado State (13-1, 3-1) took care of business on Saturday, taking down San Jose State (7-7, 0-2) in a 78-42 beatdown. The true road victory is CSU’s first of the 2021-22 campaign and improved their all-time record against the Spartans to 23-0.  SJSU entered the matchup as one of the better 3-point shooting teams in the Mountain West, you…...

DENVER — In the first matchup against a Tim Miles-coached team since he left Fort Collins back in 2012, the Colorado State Rams beat down the San Jose State Spartans 78-42 at the Provident Credit Union Event Center on Saturday afternoon.

DENVER — Saturday’s matchup between Colorado State and San Jose State is not one that you will hear the pundits mention as a game that hoops fans should watch. The Rams (12-1, 2-1) are 22-0 all-time against the Spartans (7-6, 0-1), so despite it being their only scheduled contest this season, it’s not one that typically moves the needle on…...

FORT COLLINS — The man tasked with helping manage the offensive side of things for Colorado State football is not your average coordinator.  Matt Mumme, CSU’s associate head coach/quarterbacks coach, was hired to be Jay Norvell’s right hand man and co-pilot in bringing Nevada’s explosive approach to Canvas Stadium.  The son of Hal Mumme, the founder of the air raid offense,…...

FORT COLLINS — It’s been about a month since Jay Norvell was named head coach of the Colorado State football team. On Thursday he met with the media to provide an update on the status of the program and officially introduce his coordinators, Matt Mumme (offense) and Freddie Banks (defense).  Prior to the coordinators fielding questions themselves, Norvell spoke with the…...

FORT COLLINS — 12-1.  Colorado State got back to its winning ways on Wednesday night. The Rams took down the Utah State Aggies, 77-72, in a matchup that was hard fought for all 40 minutes. “Really proud of these guys for finding a way to earn a victory today,” men’s head basketball coach Niko Medved said postgame. “It’s never easy, you…...

FORT COLLINS — Coming off of their worst performance of the 2021-22 season, a 30 point loss to San Diego State at Viejas Arena over the weekend, Wednesday night’s matchup with Utah State was not a game the Rams could afford to lose and still feel confident about their position to contend for a Mountain West championship.  With how tight the…...

DENVER — To the surprise of noone, Trey McBride announced on Twitter Monday that he is declaring for the 2022 NFL Draft. McBride made it clear throughout the 2021 season that it would be his final campaign with the Rams, so he was never expected to come back and use his final season of eligibility in 2022. But as of Monday,…

DENVER — Jay Norvell is using the transfer portal to his advantage this winter. After signing 11 FBS transfers during the early recruiting period, the Rams have continued to pick up commitments from Division I players in the weeks since.  After locking down a commitment from wide receiver Matt Greenwald (Boise State) a few days ago, Colorado State secured a commitment…...

DENVER — ”Everybody gets whooped every now and then, so we’ll take it on the chin.” Isaiah Stevens was calm and collected while speaking with the media following Saturday’s 79-49 loss to San Diego State. Despite seeing CSU’s 11 game winning streak come to an end in dramatic fashion, Stevens was the same even keeled guy that we’ve become accustomed to…...

DENVER — It was fun while it lasted but No. 20 Colorado State (11-1,1-1) is undefeated no more. The Rams were bullied on the road by San Diego State (10-3, 2-0), ultimately falling 79-49 to the Aztecs at Viejas Arena on Saturday.  It was a brutal game for CSU on the offensive end, as the Rams were completely smothered by…...

The 6-foot-7, 310-pound offensive lineman announced via Instagram that he’s declaring for the 2022 NFL Draft.  A local prospect out of Bear Creek High School, Wesley was not heavily recruited before walking on at Colorado State in 2017. However, it didn’t take long for him to…...

DENVER — A former local prep star is returning to the Centennial state to play for the Colorado State Rams. Matt Greenwald, who was a multi-sport standout at Fairview High School before signing with Boise State in 2019, announced on Twitter Friday that he will transfer to CSU.  https://twitter.com/MGreenwald23/status/1479269030598885380 During his three seasons playing for the varsity team at Fairview…

DENVER — No. 20 Colorado State moved to 11-0 on Tuesday with a 67-59 victory over the Air Force Falcons (8-5). It was far from the prettiest game that we’ve seen from the Green & Gold, as the Rams were held to about 15 points less than what they produce on average. But Niko Medved’s experienced group was able to…...

DENVER — On to the next one.  No. 20 Colorado State (11-0) was originally scheduled to play its first conference road game at Boise State (10-4) on Friday night. However, due to the Broncos being unable to play the matchup and Nevada (7-5) being unable to play their scheduled game at Viejas Arena, the Rams now will play at San…

DENVER — There is no substitute for the real thing.  In the 24 days between games for No. 20 Colorado State (11-0,1-0), the Rams were able to hold just three full practices. That’s what men’s head basketball coach Niko Medved told local reporters following Tuesday night’s 67-59 victory over Air Force.* Never apologize for a win. They all count the same…...

DENVER — A win is a win.  No. 20 Colorado State entered Tuesday night’s game against Air Force as 21 point favorites. After 24 days between live action, though, the first Mountain West matchup of the 2021-22 campaign ended up being much closer than the oddsmakers anticipated, especially with the Falcons missing four players from the rotation due to COVID-19.  Joe…...

DENVER — Colorado State men’s basketball has put itself in tremendous position. Entering the Mountain West portion of the schedule, the Rams are presently ranked No. 20 in AP Poll and No. 19 in the Coaches Poll.  CSU did not get an opportunity to play against the University of Alabama — a matchup that the Ram faithful were extremely excited about — …...
