Colorado State Rams

The Colorado State Rams play at Sonny Lubick Field at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, a modern on-campus venue that replaced the program's aging former home. Green and gold, the Rams have carved out a reputation as a consistent, well-coached Mountain West program with occasional flashes of real national relevance. CSU's identity leans on toughness at altitude and a fan base that takes pride in a program that has produced respected coaches and NFL talent despite rarely having the biggest roster budget in the room.

Colorado State's football program dates to 1893, when the school was known as the Aggies. The Rams have won 15 conference championships — eight in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference between 1915 and 1934 under legendary coach Harry Hughes, one in the Skyline Conference in 1955, three in the WAC from 1994-97, and three in the Mountain West from 1999-2002. Sonny Lubick's tenure in the 1990s and 2000s remains the program's most celebrated modern era, cementing his name on the current stadium's field.
