So now NCAA athletes can profit off their name, image, and likeness. It’s about time! But rather than worrying about advertising deals with local merchants or promotional appearances to help sell some schwag, here’s what the CSU Athletic Department should do. First lets take a step back. Where’s the real money these days? Its in building […] READ MORE

The Colorado State Men’s’ Basketball team wrapped up one of their best seasons in recent year, losing on a last second layup to Louisiana Tech in the NIT consolation game. They led for most of the game and had pushed themselves into an 11=point lead with just over 8 minutes to play before a furious […] READ MORE
Delivering a virtuoso performance the likes of which Colorado State has not seen all year, the Memphis Tigers ran, rebounded, and shot their way to a resounding victory to earn a berth in the NIT finals. A team known for their defense (1st in the national in Defensive Efficiency), the Tigers delivered a season-high 1.3 […] READ MORE
On a night when they couldn’t throw the ball into the ocean, the CSU Rams ran, passed, guarded, and rebounded their way to a famous victory over their ACC counterparts. If you read my preview yesterday, I made one very simple statement. That is was a very winnable game if the Rams could get the […] READ MORE
I’m excited about the game tomorrow. It should be a good one. Very winnable if the Rams can get the ball into the paint consistently without turning the ball over. There. That’s my preview. I haven’t done a full-blown pregame look all season since the St Mary’s game. I decided that the Debacle in Moraga […] READ MORE
Death, taxes… And CSU Sophomore Point Guard Isaiah Stevens closing out a game with the winning bucket. He did it multiple times his freshman year (Loyola, Tulsa, Nevada). He’s done it in the current season (UNLV, Buffalo). It always looks a little different. This time it was off a set which featured Adam Thistlewood flashing […] READ MORE
The Colorado State Rams will be heading to Dallas for the 2021 National Invitation Tournament on Wednesday, in anticipation of a Friday first-round match-up with the Buffalo Bulls of the Mid-America Conference. I’m not going to spend a lot of time doing a game preview other than to say that this should be a really […] READ MORE
Yesterday was a tough day if you’re a CSU Men’s Basketball fan. On the edge all day awaiting the field to be named for the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship tournament. And then disappointment when our Rams were not included in the Field of 68 but named as one of four schools on call to […] READ MORE
Two words regarding the game. Neemias Queta. Have the Mountain West coaches ever got it so wrong in their Player of the Year voting? They actually named SDSU’s Matt Mitchell ahead of Queta. He finished yesterday’s game with 18 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 blocked shots. He is a nightmare to prepare for on both […] READ MORE
