The 2009 football season is in the books and now part of history. (Thankfully) Although the Rams beat the Buffaloes in Boulder for the first
time in 23 years, there were few highlites to the 2009 season except the hope that a 2010 recruiting class can save the future of Ram football.
This addendum to the book Aggies to Rams is meant to keep the history of CSU football captured for years to come. Relive the good parts of
the 2009 season. Click Here (Below: Oppeneer grabs a fumble, Rams leave tunnel against Utah, Michael Kawulok and the last play of 2009,
