An old rivalry with a new twist.
Colorado State and Wyoming have been battling in football since the late 1800s, but the 2026 edition brings much change.
The Border War rivals have long shared the same conference, but have now split as CSU is in the new Pac-12 and Wyoming is still in the Mountain West.
It means a season-opening matchup on Sept. 5 at Canvas Stadium. Here's what to know about the history of the Border War and Bronze Boot:
Army Capt. Daniel J. Romero, a Pueblo native, wore the boot while serving in Vietnam. He offered up his boot upon returning home and being **** igned to the ROTC program at Colorado State University.
