Fort               Collins,               Colorado               offers               those               who               travel               there               many               things               to               do,               including               college               football               activities               like               tailgating               or               taking               in               the               Old               Town               atmosphere.

Fort               Collins               is               located               off               Interstate               25               between               Denver,               Colorado               and               Cheyenne,               Wyoming,               so               travel               to               this               city               is               rather               convenient               en               route               to               football               tailgating               and               Old               Town.

This               travel               article               will               discuss               Old               Town               Fort               Collins               and               Colorado               State               Rams               football               tailgating.

Sports-themed               journeys               are               one               of               the               most               popular               activities               in               this               nation,               especially               in               the               fall               when               fans               of               college               gridiron               play               make               a               pilgrimage               to               their               favorite               team's               home               or               visiting               field               to               support               them.

But               before               the               game,               the               ritual               of               tailgating               across               this               country               outside               of               the               nation's               sports               cathedrals               is               an               important               aspect               of               the               football               game               experience,               as               friends               travel               from               near               and               far               to               get               together               to               hang               out               and               chow               down               on               some               great-tasting               food,               anticipating               that               their               team               is               going               to               come               out               the               victor               in               a               few               hours.
               Tailgating               with               the               CSU               Ram               Fans
               Unfortunately,               for               the               Colorado               State               Rams               (CSU),               hard               times               have               fallen               on               this               once               proud               Mountain               West               Conference               team               coached               by               Sonny               Lubick               (whom               the               Rams'               football               field               is               named               for).

After               many               successful               years               of               winning               records,               conference               championships,               and               bowl               appearances,               the               game               I               attended               via               travel               had               the               Rams               trying               not               to               go               beyond               the               371               days               without               winning               a               football               game,               losing               twelve               games               in               a               row               going               back               to               last               season.

The               streak               began               last               year               with               the               team               they               would               play               this               very               game               day,               the               Air               Force               Falcons,               who               hails               down               Interstate               25               in               Colorado               Springs.

The               pre-game               festivities               would               turn               out               to               be               one               of               the               strangest               October               days               in               Fort               Collins               for               us               tailgating               participants.
               Being               from               Wyoming,               I               wanted               to               talk               to               some               of               the               Colorado               State               Rams               fans               to               find               out               how               they               felt               about               the               struggles               of               their               team.

For               the               most               part,               they               do               admire               and               respect               Coach               Lubick,               but               feel               that               his               coaching               staff               has               been               more               the               cause               of               the               team's               bad               fortunes               than               the               players,               but               I               didn't               see               any               real               anger               or               bitterness               emanating               from               them               like               I've               heard               from               other               fans               whose               teams               don't               live               up               to               their               expectations.

As               for               the               team               they               see               as               their               biggest               rivals,               well,               that               honor               goes               to               the               state's               largest               college,               the               University               of               Colorado               at               Boulder               Buffaloes               (CU),               which               is               about               an               hour               away               via               travel               by               automobile.

When               CSU               and               CU               slug               it               out               on               the               gridiron,               it's               before               very               large               crowds               at               INVESCO               Field               in               Denver,               mostly               the               home               of               the               NFL               Broncos.

The               Ram               tailgaters               remarked               in               a               way               that               I               could               tell               that               they               detested               CU               very               much,               but               the               team               from               my               home               state,               the               Wyoming               Cowboys               (UW),               are               a               close               second,               as               the               yearly               clashes               between               CSU               and               UW               are               known               as               "Border               Wars",               especially               in               football               and               basketball.

Air               Force               was               considered               the               second               (too)               or               third               biggest               rival               by               the               Colorado               State               Rams               partisans               in               Fort               Collins.
               A               light               and               cold               drizzle               came               over               the               city               as               we               began               feasting               on               some               yummy               beef               brisket,               barbeque               baked               beans,               potato               salad,               and               brownies               for               our               tailgating               meal.

In               another               tailgating               section,               I               could               hear               some               drum               banging               and               chanting,               so               I               went               to               the               other               tent               to               investigate               it               as               the               drizzle               was               starting               to               turn               into               a               heavier               rain               with               loud               thunder               claps               and               rampant               lightning.

I               found               four               Native               American               men               who               were               fans               of               the               hapless               Rams               banging               on               a               drum               and               chanting               really               loud.

Apparently,               and               as               I               found               out               later               after               talking               to               them,               they               were               performing               a               victory               ceremony               for               the               down-on-their-luck               team.

Some               of               the               people               under               the               tent               began               to               joke,               "We               got               rain               instead!"               The               chanters/drummers               laughed               at               this.

And               rain               did               we               get!

It's               very               rare               indeed               for               this               part               of               the               country               to               get               a               gully               washer               like               we               were               in               the               middle               of               October.

The               semi-grassy               grounds               outside               the               football               stadium               were               turning               into               mud               quickly,               and               the               temperature               was               falling               fast.
               Well               into               the               storm,               the               fans               found               out               that               a               power               outage               in               parts               of               the               football               stadium               due               to               lightning               would               delay               the               3:30               PM               start               of               the               football               game,               but               no               one               knew               for               how               long.

Many               fans               got               back               into               their               automobiles               to               travel               back               into               town               and               elsewhere,               not               coming               back.

It               would               be               almost               an               hour's               worth               of               delay               as               the               rains               and               lightning               finally               subsided,               and               for               the               CSU               Rams,               this               only               put               off               their               inevitable               torture               of               another               loss               as               the               temperature               grew               colder,               thanks               to               the               gusty               wind               that               followed               the               horrible               weather.
               The               Falcons               raced               to               a               28-7               halftime               lead.

In               the               second               half,               the               Colorado               State               Rams               played               better               as               the               sun               set               in               the               midst               of               a               hard               core               stance               of               fans               from               both               CSU               and               Air               Force               who               braved               the               cold               weather               only               to               see               the               home               team               go               down               45-21.

What               I               really               enjoyed               about               the               game               besides               the               action               on               a               really               beautiful               field               was               listening               to               the               percussion               play               of               CSU's               band,               which               happily               played               on               whenever               the               Rams               made               a               good               play               or               scored,               including               one               play               where               a               CSU               defender               picked               up               a               fumble               and               ran               48               yards               for               a               touchdown.
               I               guess               for               the               CSU               fans,               they               can               take               solace               in               the               old               adage               that               nothing               lasts               forever.

Some               day,               a               win               will               appear,               and               then               another.

But               win               or               lose,               the               sports               pilgrimages               of               football               tailgating               before               the               games               begin               will               go               on               and               on               in               Fort               Collins,               Colorado.
