With kickoff finally here, Joel and Mike look ahead to Jim Mora’s CSU debut and a Border War matchup that could immediately set the tone for a new era of Rams football. They break down an offseason of massive change in Fort Collins, from CSU’s move to the Pac-12 and new Adidas uniforms to a revamped roster and an athletic department that appears more committed than ever to building a winning football program. The guys discuss what they’ll be watching for against Wyoming, including CSU’s still-unannounced starting quarterback, whether 60+ new players can come together quickly, the battle in the trenches, and whether Mora’s emphasis on discipline and attention to detail will finally produce a cleaner, tougher football team. They also make their predictions for the Border War and define what would make Mora’s first season a success. Plus, after last week’s memorable conversation with Jim McElwain, Joel and Mike look back at some of their favorite guests and moments from six years of RamNation Radio.
