As Mountain West pageant contestants go, the Cinderella Rams walked the stage in a ball gown and combat boots. But the boot they grabbed on Friday night, Bronze and beautiful, fit Jay Norvell like a pair of glass slippers.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — However revitalized the Wyoming football program felt after its victory in New Mexico, it wasn’t readily apparent to the 36,720 in attendance for “The Border War” on Friday night at Canvas Stadium.

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.
