Rocky Mountain Showdown: Go Colorado!

CU played CSU tonight, in their annual meeting at the Rocky Mountain Showdown.






'Ralphie stomped on the Rams,' read one commentary. They sure did: 45-13.

We watched the game at our local Red Robin, sustained by Colorado peach hard cider, coffee, boneless wings and an incredible bacon milkshake. (You have to ask for it, I'm told -- tell them a vanilla milkshake, but no vanilla syrup. Add a small shot of brown sugar glaze and mix in a handful of bacon bits. It is GREAT.)

Friends Tommy and Chris watched with us until the third quarter, when they couldn't take it anymore. (Tommy spent the pre-game bragging about how great CSU was going to be. Serves him right for graduating from there with a forestry degree.)

We stayed until the restaurant closed --and the game nearly finished. It was worth it.

Does this mean that Colorado actually has a chance this season to regain its once-legendary greatness?

GO BUFFS!
