Csu Ramscast

In this offseason edition of your CSU Rams Cast, there's a ton to cover. Especially concerning the Colorado State Football team.Players are coming to town -- like Patrick O'Brien -- and leaving Fort Collins, too -- Nicho Garcia. We look at how Garcia's departure hurts the offensive line, which could be the weakest link on the Rams football team in 2018\. That includes an interview with new center Colby Meeks and how he's transitioning into the position. We also examine how O'Brien's addition would impact the Rams in the near future.More football news continues as Mike Bobo was ranked 6th-best coach in the Mountain West. You, stalwart Rams fans chimed in on that today on Twitter; your reactions and more. Preston Williams seems to be on track to play this fall, and there were 11 Next Level Rams who were either drafted, signed as UDFAs or invited to rookie camps by NFL teams.Also, CSU - CU and the Rocky Mountain Showdown may continue in 2023-24, we talk some basketball with a meet-and-greet with Niko Medved sche

Who impressed? What did we learn from the game? Where can CSU improve?We give you all the information on that front and we hear from Mike Bobo, J.C. Robles and Anthony Hawkins after the game about how they've improved lately.Also, CSU alumnus Jenny Cavnar was a pioneer on Monday night, calling the Rockies game as the play-by-play announcer. We celebrate her as an awesome stalwart Ram.Six CSU Football games have kickoffs and television details now, with a lot of mid-week games this year. All of those details as well as some CSU men's basketball news. The Rams men's team earned a new commit and offered another player.That and so much more inside this edition of the CSU Rams Cast.

Today, Earle Bruce passed away at the age of 87.Without Bruce's leadership as head football coach in 1990 -- which included that Freedom Bowl, and first Rams bowl win -- Sonny Lubick likely couldn't have realized his success in the mid-late 90s.And speaking of Lubick the legend, he was an instrumental member of Colorado State Athletics' new partnership with Public Service Credit Union and their $37.7 million deal to be the naming rights partner of the on-campus stadium. We give you all the details on that deal and what it means for the future of CSU athletics.Then, we preview the Green and Gold Game for you, which kicks off at Noon on Saturday, April 21\. Who are the players to watch and at which position? Every position is quickly run down so you know where to look tomorrow.Finally, we get to some notes on the CSU men's basketball team.That, and more in this edition of your CSU Rams Cast.

Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium started getting torn down this week, in what is a bitter-sweet ending for most CSU Rams fans.Interestingly, Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Mike Tirico all tweeted about old Hughes and their memories, prompting us to ask you, the stalwart Rams fans, about your favorite memories and games.Also, the NCAA announced a rules change to the kickoff, which could help to eliminate kickoffs entirely and is a bad move. We'll explain why.Then, has Justice McCoy taken the quarterbacking lead? After last Sunday's scrimmage and the better stats than any other QB, Mike Bobo said McCoy will run with the "ones" this Sunday in the shorter version of the team's second spring scrimmage.And the second half we check in with CSU men's basketball and hear from Nico Carvacho on the team's new offense. That, and much more in your latest CSU Rams Cast.

It's been a whirlwind of players leaving and staying the last few days, and we're here to give you all the information you need to be the best Rams fan possible.Quickly: Nico Carvacho, Kris Martin and JD Paige are all staying with Colorado State Rams men's basketball, while Prentiss Nixon and Raquan Mitchell have been granted their release. We go into detail about what each player means to the Rams, what they'll miss from those leaving, but what to expect from the returning stars, too.Then, we move onto the Coach's Corner, highlighting Dave Thorson, Jase Herl, Tiel Daniels and Pierce Hornung.Finally, we transition to CSU football, who enjoyed their first scrimmage of the spring season. What did we learn from the scrimmage? Well, we bring you some of the stats and observations ahead of the Green and Gold Game which kicks off on April 21 at Noon.That, and much more inside this edition of the CSU Rams Cast.

The Green and Gold Game is about two weeks away, and we have all the details on it here. Including the New Belgium Porch being open to fans, starting at 11 a.m. MT on April 21.Usually, you need a special ticket to get into the Porch, so if you want to see what it's like to take a game in from that vantage point, get there early. The game will be general admission and free to the public, and the team is encouraging fans to sit on the west side of the lower bowl as most concessions will be open on that side. In the spring game itself, there will be many players to keep an eye on. We give you the top names and positions to watch before moving into #B19Horns recruiting news. The Rams are incredibly active in recruiting this time of year, so we give a glimpse into who they're looking to land. Then, in "Coach's Corner" we take a look at who could be Niko Medved's next assistant coach. He only has two on staff per the school, but we know of two more he's likely to hire next. Also, no new news on Kris Martin, althoug

Colorado State and Washington State are set for a home-and-home series in 2022-23\. That announcement came from CSU and Joe Parker this morning, making it official.Now, the Rams have nine Power 5 opponents in the next decade as they continue to show the college football world they are ready to make that leap into a Power 5 conference.Speaking of the Rams, we told you about K.J. Carta-Samuels in the last podcast and another, new graduate transfer may be coming to Colorado State soon. In fact, Mike Bobo tweeted out about "BIG NEWS" today, and we think he might be it. Get the news on that possible transfer inside this version of your Rams Cast.Also, Niko Medved reportedly hired his third assistant coach. And, Kris Martin's future, with or without Oklahoma, may determine what happens with other CSU men's basketball players transferring or staying at the program.All that and more in this version of the podcast.

Welcome to a packed episode of your CSU Rams Cast.On Sunday, Colorado State announced the signing of graduate transfer quarterback K.J. Carta-Samuels, formerly of Washington, who will join the Rams in the summer and compete for the starting job. We give you the need-to-know info on him and his interesting journey to Colorado State, which almost was UCLA.And, another graduate transfer was in Fort Collins over the weekend. We'll tell you about him and how his addition could be huge to the Rams in 2018.In the second half, it's all about men's basketball. Niko Medved hired his first two assistants, Jase Herl is likely to be hired at another school and Craig Smith is back in the Mountain West as well. Soon, we'll have Medved vs. Smith in men's hoops, and what about Gonzaga joining the Mountain West? That would be huge.Also, CSU hoops lost their first player as he looks to transfer, we'll tell you who, and who the team could be looking at signing.

Can Niko Medved dunk? It seems unlikely, as a 5'11" dude, but his introductory press conference was a slam dunk on Friday morning.In front of 100-150 Rams fans and about 10 media members -- as well as Athletic Director and boss Joe Parker -- Medved gave his first press conference as the head coach of CSU men's basketball on Friday. What Medved had to say made it seem like he was the perfect hire for Colorado State.Simply, he'll be a 180 compared to the last coaching regime, in many ways. That goes for how he recruits, what he'll do in the community and even how his team will play on Moby's hardwood. Speaking of Moby Arena, Medved said walking through the arena today it brought back memories of that historic 2012-13 season, arguably the greatest in CSU men's basketball history. Medved has seen this program at the highest of highs and lowest of lows; he's in position to pull it out of this nose dive and likely in a hurry.We hear a lot from Medved in this podcast, as well as quotes from Daniel Bejarano, Anthony

On Monday, we met Mike Bobo at the on-campus stadium for his first press conference of spring football. Of course, much of the conversation focused around Collin Hill, the should-be starting quarterback who injured his ACL for a second time less than two weeks ago. Hill, of course, will be held out of spring practices, and while Bobo is hopeful he could return in the fall, he's also "actively recruiting" another quarterback.Bobo talked about what J.C. Robles and Justice McCoy bring to the team, saying the pressure is on those QBs currently during these spring practices as they try to prove they could be "the guy." And outside of Hill's injury, there are 10 more big-time injuries for the Rams.So, with 33-34 scholarship players not in spring ball, the Rams aren't panicking and they're focusing on the fundamentals.In the second half of the pod, we talk about CSU men's basketball and update you on the coaching search.

On Monday, Mike Bobo announced through a release that Collin Hill has re-injured and re-torn his ACL in his left knee.For Rams fans -- and likely coaches, too -- this is devastating news.Hill originally injured the knee in October of 2016, as a freshman, while playing against Utah State. After sitting all of 2017, Hill was in line to be the starter in 2018 and beyond. Now, not only will Hill not practice in the spring, he may not be ready to go when the season kicks off in five months.So, that leaves Colorado State with a few options; start a QB already on the roster or go after a graduate transfer. We look at both options in the first half of the podcast, plus bring you some "Next Level Rams" news.In the second half, we transition to basketball. There's a little on who could be CSU men's basketball's next head coach, there's some on the women's team in the WNIT and a little on National Champion Mostafa Hassan, too.

Colorado State men's basketball lost on Wednesday, ending not only their Mountain West tournament and season, but ending the Larry Eustachy Era once and for all.New era, new coach. Who will it be?Becky Hammon has been the talk of the nation as the Rams next head coach, and she'd make history once again if that became reality. Although, she's in line to be the NBA's first woman head coach; so would she take a step backwards to the NCAA? Also, who else could be the Rams next head man (or woman)? Well, Chris Crutchfield is an interesting candidate, as is T.J. Otzelberger of South Dakota State.Simply, there are a litany of names who could do great things at CSU, we talk about those three and a few more.And we also look at the rest of the Mountain West tournament, CSU Football's Pro Day and the home game festivities lined up for this season with the football team.

This is March!Meaning college basketball is taking center stage in the sporting world.As for Colorado State Rams men's basketball, their march into March has been more a tired, sad saunter than an embattled, confident stroll into the postseason.Luckily for CSU, on their third head coach of the year in Jase Herl, the Rams get to face No. 7 seed Utah State, a team the Rams have already beaten once this year. We look at why CSU has struggled at the end of the season, how they can rebound and win on Wednesday, and what it would take to win the entire Mountain West Tournament.We also look at what Joe Parker is doing in terms of hiring a new men's head coach, and check in on the women's team, too.Then, in the second half of the podcast, we look at Michael Gallup, who shined in his NFL Scouting Combine chance this weekend. And with CSU's Pro Day coming Wednesday, who else has a chance to be drafted from the Rams?And finally, there have been more administrative changes for CSU Football. What those are and more inside

With so much happening inside Colorado State Athletics, specifically within the men's basketball program and concerning Larry Eustachy, many questions remained unanswered. That's because, after the month-long climate assessment of Eustachy's program, those findings were not released due to an amended employment agreement which allowed Eustachy to resign from the team and be paid $750,000.Parker called that amount a "discount," and considering the $3 million Eustachy would have been owed for being fired without cause, it was just that, a discount. And now, Colorado State can move on.But, during that round-table discussion with 10 media members, there were many questions about the assessment, about Eustachy himself, about what was found and much, much more. The second half of the podcast focuses in on that roundtable with Parker, which also concludes with what he's looking for in the next men's basketball head coach.The first half of this Rams Cast looks at the team themselves, who lost their season finale agai

Yesterday, Larry Eustachy resigned from his post as Colorado State's head coach, a position he held for more than six years.We take a minute to look back on the Larry Eustachy Era at CSU, the good and the bad times, as well as the pros and cons of Larry as a head coach.Then, we switch gears and look at the many possibilities as next head coach for the Rams. Some names you've heard many times before, and some will be new; all with their own merits going forward. Could a lot of players leave CSU? It seems unlikely, unless they get a waiver and don't have to sit out a year.That is discussed, as is the actual team, who lost despite a great effort, last Saturday at Nevada. Three things to know from that game and three things to get you ready for the regular season finale Wednesday night as New Mexico comes to Moby Arena for a 7 p.m. MT tip-off.That, and much more inside your CSU Rams Cast.

Jase Herl has been saying and doing all the right things in his role as interim head coach for the Colorado State Rams men's basketball team. But, can he stay on as the head coach next year?Unfortunately for Herl, he's the right coach but at the wrong time. The Rams have lost 9-10 games -- including an historically bad loss on Wednesday night to Boise State -- and they face No. 20 Nevada on Saturday. He's trying to turn them around, as his quote Wednesday eluded to, but it may be too little, too late for Herl and the Rams this season.If not Herl next year, than who? We look at Lamont Smith as a rising star in the coaching world, as well as a little bit on the FBI investigation into NCAA hoops and how it affects SDSU hoops.The second half is all about CSU Football, as they've set the Green and Gold Game date and time and there may be some more scheduling news on the horizon as well. Finally, we talk the cornerback positional battles coming up in spring at one of the team's thinnest positions.

The Colorado State Rams are 1-1 under Jase Herl, but the changes are clear and evident for the school's men's basketball team.Herl injected fun into his team during their first game together last Saturday and the Rams won. Outside of that, Herl has met with Ram Ruckus and interacted with students at the Lory Student Center while also opening multiple practices to the media. Simply, the program has changed quickly, for the better.Speaking of the men's basketball team, they host a beastly Boise State team on Wednesday night (7 p.m. MT) and J.D. Paige announced via twitter he will make his return to the team after sustaining a broken hand three weeks ago.The second half of our podcast looks at the positional battle among a stacked safeties group, one which has three starters and only two positions open. And, finally, what CSU athletes would compete at the Winter Olympics and in which events?

Today on this special edition of the CSU Rams Cast, our friend Ryan Krous joins to discuss all things Colorado State athletics. We start with the CSU men's basketball team and their massive win over San Jose State last Saturday, a huge victory due to the new head coach in Jase Herl asking them to play for fun. Nico Carvacho's "vente-vente" game was sensational, and that's discussed, as well as the historic 17-point fastbreak game in the win. Tonight, Colorado State (11-16) faces Fresno State (18-8) at 5 p.m. MT on ESPN3, Krous and Kurtzman bring you the "3 things to know" about tonight's game in which the Rams try to keep the winning going. Then, the second half of the podcast is all about recruiting and Colorado State football. Ryan, the master of covering recruiting at Colorado State, gives us all the need-to-know information on the newest class. And, the two RKs answer some fan questions from Twitter and much more.

Colorado State finally got back to their winning ways on Saturday, defeating San Jose State 90-79.For the first time ever, Jase Herl was the head coach of the Rams men's team, being named to that interim position at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, with the game tipping off at 2 p.m. MT. Herl told his team to have fun, which we heard a lot from Nico Carvacho and Anthony Bonner in the postgame press conference. Why was having fun imperative to this team who had lost seven straight games? Well, it wasn't just the losing hurting CSU, but the wild distractions surrounding this team that they needed to shake off. (Read why it was important to get back to fun at the bottom of this post.)After that huge win, which was Nico Carvacho's career game, we give you three things to take away from the victory. And then we move onto who could be CSU's next coach, if, indeed, the school moves on from Larry Eustachy.The second half of the podcast focuses on National Signing Day, with a lot of quotes from John Jancek and the rest of the new
