CSU gave the Mountain West Conference The Boot. But its annual football rivalry game with Wyoming is back on its feet. The athletic directors for the Rams and Cowboys announced a contract to renew the longstanding rivalry series Thursday.

Army Capt. Daniel J. Romero, a Pueblo native, wore the boot while serving in Vietnam. He offered up his boot upon returning home and being assigned to the ROTC program at Colorado State University. Every year since 1968, the trophy has gone to the winning football team in the Border War rivalry between Wyoming and CSU.
