Get ready for an emotional farewell as the Colorado State Rams men’s basketball team embarks on their final journey in the Mountain West Conference—a chapter that’s about to close with both nostalgia and anticipation. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this the end of an era, or the beginning of something even greater for the Rams? The schedule, unveiled last week, kicks off with a bold statement: the Rams will tip off their league play on December 20 in Logan, Utah, against Utah State, marking the start of a season under the fresh leadership of first-year head coach Ali Farokhmanesh. And this is the part most people miss—just 10 days later, on December 30, they’ll host Nevada at Moby Arena for their Mountain West home opener, a game that could set the tone for the entire season.
While basketball takes center stage, let’s not forget the Rams’ football team, which recently showcased its defensive prowess in a commanding 49-21 victory over Fresno State. Here’s a thought-provoking question: Could this defensive strategy be the blueprint for future success, or is it just a one-off triumph? Jackson Brousseau’s stellar performance undoubtedly played a key role, but it’s the team’s collective effort that has fans buzzing. Meanwhile, in the world of college sports, Deion Sanders believes the CU Buffs are on the brink of a turnaround—a bold claim that’s sure to spark debate. And let’s not overlook UNC volleyball’s crucial win over Sacramento State in the Big Sky Conference, a victory that could reshape the standings.
As we dive into this action-packed season, one thing is clear: the Rams are leaving nothing to chance in their final Mountain West run. But what does this mean for their future? Will they thrive in a new conference, or will the transition prove challenging? Weigh in below—your take could be the most insightful part of this conversation!
