About this episode
Joel and Mike give their thoughts on the bad and ugly of CSU’s 21-17 “win” over Northern Colorado on an otherwise amazing Ag Day at Canvas Stadium. They take a deep dive into the game’s worst moments, as well as the few good moments that helped the Rams squeak out a win over the FCS Bears, thanks to an overturned touchdown call in the final seconds. The Rams narrowly avoided a historically bad loss, but where does this leave Jay Norvell’s Rams two weeks into the season? Tune in to hear our thoughts.
