What’s the Deal with Border War, Anyway?
This rivalry goes back to 1899 and centers on the Bronze Boot, a Vietnam-era combat boot cast in bronze and awarded to the winner each year.
The week includes a joint ROTC relay in which cadets run the game ball up U.S. 287 to the state line before delivering it to the host stadium. Bragging rights, recruiting juice, and Mountain West position all meet under Laramie’s lights, perfect conditions for a statement road win.
Last year, Colorado State claimed the legendary Bronze Boot. Will the Rams bring it back home again in 2025?

On TV: Tune to CBSSN at 5:30 p.m. MT. If you haven’t watched CBSSN recently, double-check your channel lineup before kickoff.
