Maui Mondays rolls on with the Rams and @CSUMBasketball’s @farokhmanesh5. 🏀 🐏
#MauiHoops x #CSURams
I couldn’t be happier for @klintkubiak504 , who confirmed last night that he will be the next head coach of the @Raiders. Klint was one of the all-time good guys while playing at @ColoradoStateU and now becomes just the 2nd former @CSUFootball player to become an @NFL head coach.
He joins legendary Ram Jack Christiansen, who coached the @49ers from 1963-67 and is the only @CSURam in the @ProFootballHOF. I still remember Klint saving CSU’s win over Houston in 2008 with an amazing defensive play in the end zone.

New @CSUFootball coach @CoachJimMoraFB is here with his family, ready to speak to eager @CSURams fans at his introductory presser.

It probably won’t happen but @CSUMBasketball @coachNikoMedved should win @mountainwest Coach of the Year. Before Christmas the Rams were a mess going nowhere fast. Today they’re in 2nd place. Yes, the leaguenis down a bit but this has gotta be Niko’s best coaching job. @CSURams

.@ColoradoStateU students got the memo: the lower bowl at Canvas is packed 55 minutes before kickoff. It’s going to be rockin’ for the #Showdown!

The #Browns announced that LB Christian Kirksey and WR Rashard Higgins are retiring from the NFL and both players will sign one-day contracts with the organization to make it official.
When Hal found out that I was going to work as a sports writer for The Coloradoan he was so danged proud. Funny thing is, I never addressed any of the coaches I covered as “coach.” But Hal, who was never my coach, was different. RIP to the only man I called “coach.”

So sad to hear of the passing of Hal Kinard. He was a legendary PE teacher at the “old” Lincoln Jr. High and coaches basketball. He was a tireless advocate for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds. It wasn’t until later that I learned he was a standout player for @CSUMBasketball.
Jack Christiansen is on the @ColoradoStateU Mount Rushmore - the only Ram in the @ProFootballHOF and he's also in the CSU and Colorado sports halls. Fum McGraw, another Ram legend, won 2 titles with the Lions before a knee injury ended his career in '54.

It's hard not to cheer for the @Lions during their playoff run. It helps to realize that the last time the Lions won the title ('57) two @CSUFootball legends anchored the defense. Jim David had 3 picks that year, while Jack Christiansen had an amazing 10. (1)

The carnage of college kids just one reason for nefarious nickname. Emotional mother speaks about the death of her daughter due to an impaired driver. The Border War is Friday and law enforcement will be out in force.
'Highway of Death': This stretch of US 287 earned its morbid reputation. Can that change? coloradoan.com/story/news/20…
Huge thanks to @KyleClark for throwing his support behind School is Cool. As many of you know, my wife, Kathy, started this program 32 years ago, when we filled 63 backpacks for underserved students. SIC has now provided more than 60K backpacks! @ColoradoStateU @9NEWS
A decades-old back-to-school backpack drive serving thousands of families in Northern Colorado is short on funds. They're expanding to also cover universal Pre-K and provide bags to kids at homeless shelters. I'll match the next fifty $5 donations: ramfunder.colostate.edu/proj…
So sad to hear about the passing of @CSUFootball legend Clark Haggans. He was one of the greatest players in the Sonny Lubick era, but always humble and upbeat. A true legend. (1)
Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Clark Haggans has died.
He was 46.
Haggans played for the Steelers from 2000-07, was a 2000 5th round pick of the organization and member of the Super Bowl XL championship team.

Live long enough and you see some things. First, @nuggets win the title. Now, FoCo’s own Sophia Smith on the cover of @SInow. That’s a good week! #foco
As the U.S. chases an unprecedented third straight World Cup title, a new generation will lead the way.
