Csu Ramscast

Larry Eusachy and his representatives are set to meet with Joe Parker and Colorado State representatives early next week, but they have yet to meet, according to Parker's statement released Thursday.On Thursday, the mens basketball players boycotted practice due to a lack of communication with the athletics department, and Parker also said in his statement that they have talked with the players and are looking to resolve everything as soon as possible.We look at the long last couple of weeks for Colorado State men's basketball and the drama with Eustachy, and along with that, the team lost their big-time recruit Jordan Brangers on Thursday, too. Tweets from players about Eustachy and Brangers leaving and much more. We also give you three things to know about CSU's game against San Jose State on Saturday, which tips off at 2 p.m. MT.Then, the second half of the podcast is all about National Signing Day. Specifically, we bring you quotes from Mike Bobo, Brian Applewhite, Dave Johnson and Joe Cox; all the Rams o

Larry Eustachy has been placed on administrative leave from the Colorado State men's basketball team, leaving Steve Barnes -- his longtime friend and assistant coach -- as the interim coach for CSU.Saturday's loss to Nevada -- a close one against the best team in the Mountain West -- was the first in six years without Eustachy on the bench for the Rams and the first Barnes has ever coached at CSU. We bring a bunch of quotes from Barnes after the loss and also read off a whole host of tweets from former Rams players who continue to defend Larry's coaching.Then, we give you three things to know about tonight's CSU men's basketball game against Air Force in Colorado Springs and who to watch in that game.In the second half; could Becky Hammon be a candidate for the next CSU men's basketball coach if the school decides to move on from Larry? It's possible, and we look at three other, fitting candidates as well, for the position. Of course, it's not open as of yet, but it could be soon.Finally, some recruiting news

For Colorado State Rams basketball, a tough season has gotten a little ugly as of late.The Rams have lost five straight games, which is the longest streak of losing in eight years, they're without their two best starters due to injury and it was found out on Wednesday by Justin Michael that Larry Eustachy's conduct is under investigation once again. We heard about the "culture of fear," as it was described, back in 2013, when it came out last year. Despite all the negative press, the Rams players rallied around their coach then.That seemed to be happening again Wednesday night as the shorthanded men's basketball team put up a great fight and led the better Wyoming Cowboys for much of the game, only to fall apart at the end of both halves and end up losing in double overtime, 91-86.We look at the information surrounding this "climate assessment" as Joe Parker said in a release on Wednesday and what it means for CSU men's basketball present and future.All that is happening, while the players -- Anthony Bonner a

We kick off this podcast by celebrating what Michael Gallup was able to accomplish at the Senior Bowl last week. Gallup helped himself immensely by practicing and then playing well  in Mobile, Alabama. We look at where Gallup could go in the NFL Draft, and also where guys like Nick Stevens, Dalyn Dawkins, Jake Bennett and Zack Golditch could go, too.Then, it’s recruiting season, so we dive into two new commits for Colorado State football. Here’s a hint: They’re both on the defensive side of the ball. Which, Mike Bobo has been intelligent to load up on considering how deficient they’ve been on defense the last few years.We then move onto Dennis Dodd’s great reporting on the new, proposed transfer rule which is very interesting and should be implemented, in my opinion. What would it mean for a school like CSU? We discuss it all with some great comments from fans on Twitter.Finally, CSU men’s basketball is struggling mightily currently, losing four straight. They’re set to host Wyoming with their new State Pride

Dear world, meet Michael Gallup.Gallup, who had already gained some national recognition for being a Biletnikoff Award finalist, is really turning heads this week at the Senior Bowl. We look through a litany of tweets from scouts and "draft experts" who are tuning into Senior Bowl practices and giving Gallup props. He's been called a "winner" of Days 1 and 2 of practice and there have been a handful of highlights (those tweets posted below). The Senior Bowl kicks off at 12:30 p.m. MT on Saturday on the NFL Network; it's Gallup's final time to shine before the NFL Scouting Combine. We also get into CSU men's basketball, who not only suffered a loss on Wednesday, but they lost J.D. Paige to injury, too. Paige broke his hand, as a CSU spokesperson confirmed today, and will be out for weeks. We give you all the details on that, as well as what it means for the team on the whole as they prepare to play New Mexico tomorrow at 7 p.m. MT.Also included in this episode: Three former Rams make the National Football Foun

We kick off this version of your CSU Rams cast with recruiting news from Monday. Multiple players tweeted out they have either committed to Colorado State or decommitted from another school, meaning they could become Rams soon. Who are those young men and what would they mean to the football team in 2018?Then, we talk "Three things to know" about CSU men's basketball's loss to UNLV. Hint: Nico Carvacho is playing out of his mind lately, finally finding a groove on the court.The second half of our podcast features an interview with Jimmy Hyams of UNML in Knoxville, Tennessee. Hyams had the chance to cover John Jancek -- CSU's new defensive coordinator -- while at Tennessee in 2013-15\. Lots of great information about Jancek the coach in that interview. Then, we have a few more CSU-related notes, like the new State Pride jerseys for hoops which are featured in the photo for this piece, and why some in Wyoming are jealous of the Rams' brilliant branding.

Four former Colorado State Rams football players will take place in collegiate all-star games on Saturday, and we get into all of them, what they meant to Rams football and how this weekend could certainly help them move to the next level.First up, it's Zack Golditch and Dalyn Dawkins in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl at 1 p.m. MT on FS1\. Then, at 2 p.m. MT on NFL Network, you can catch the East-West Shrine Game with Nick Stevens and Jake Bennett likely playing in their final game together.Saturday is chock full of Colorado State athletics, as the annual Orange Out takes place on the hardwood at Moby Arena. 10-10 CSU Men's basketball hosts the 13-5 UNLV Runnin' Rebels as the Rams look to end a three-game home losing streak. We give you three things to know from the loss to Air Force on Wednesday and three things to know about the Orange Out as well.Also included, Joe Parker on Mike Hamilton's podcast and some more notes on your favorite Rams teams as well.

The names went by so quickly: John Jancek, Dave Johnson, Eric Lewis, and so many more. There have been a ton of coaching hires for Colorado State football, and they've all announced via Twitter in this incredibly busy time surrounding recruiting.So, who is Jancek? We told you about him last Friday, and he has a ton of coaching experience. Also, we get into what Johnson did at Ohio, and who Eric Lewis before diving into recruiting. That what a lot of the coaches are doing right now; out on the road trying to get new commits. Who are the Rams targeting?Then, we talk about postseason bowl games for your aspiring 'Next Level Rams' and some CSU hoops in the end.It's packed with information on your favorite CSU teams, so thanks for tuning in, stalwarts.

It's been a roller coaster ride of a week for the Colorado State Rams and their fans.On Monday, it looked like CSU had landed a huge hire in Derrick Ansley, the DBs coach at Alabama, to be the Rams next defensive coordinator. The young, intelligent Ansley would have been perfect in Fort Collins, and his Crimson Tide won the National Championship that night. All while Rams head coach Mike Bobo was featured on the coaches film room, doing well there to represent the program.But, then Ansley was lured away by the Oakland Raiders of the NFL, leaving Bobo and the Rams to scramble. According to reports, John Jancek will be the next defensive coordinator at Colorado State, and we give you a ton of information on where he's coached and how his defenses have done, most notably at Tennessee (2013-15). More coaching news as Joe Cox interviewed at Tennessee and Bisi Johnson spoke at Green Mountain High School on Thursday.Finally, we talk Prentiss Nixon's "flu game" on Wednesday, a phenomenal performance, playing through

After long last, the Colorado State Rams football team has their new defensive coordiantor in Derrick Ansley. Mike Bobo knocked this hire out of the park, hiring an up-and-coming, brilliant young football mind in Ansley, who's worked his tail off to move up through the college football coaching ranks.We look at Ansley's history, which started at Troy University as a player, went through D-III Huntingdon College and has him currently with the Alabama Crimson Tide as their DBs coach. Of course, Rams fans know how important a new, exciting and exuberant defensive coordinator will be to the team's efforts in winning a Mountain West Championship as Bobo's offense has been stellar, but the offense has been terrible as of late.We look at what Ansley did at 'Bama as well as the co-defensive coordinator at Kentucky and what that should mean for CSU's defense. Also, Ansley made his first hire, a promotion within the defense, which we tell you all about.Speaking of Bobo, he will be part of the National Championship broa

2017 was a year of incredible highs and crazy lows for Colorado State men's basketball as well as the CSU football team.We take a second to reflect and look back on the wild year of 2017, in which men's basketball competed for a Mountain West championship for the first time in 14 years, while the football team came up far short of expectations. We give a nod to the best athletes, best individual performances, biggest wins and most heartbreaking losses. Hint: There's a lot on Gian Clavell and Michael Gallup in here.Also included, some on this year's basketball team, who won on Saturday in their first road victory of the season. That and much more in this end of the year podcast for you stalwarts.Finally, it was a huge year for the CSU Rams Cast, so thank you again to everyone who's listened. It's truly appreciated.

On this 100th episode of your CSU Rams Cast, we start with the New Mexico Bowl loss to the Marshall Thundering Herd. For a third straight season under Mike Bobo, the Rams lost their bowl game. Why? Bobo explained it well himself, we bring you that quote from Albuquerque. So, where does CSU football stand after the loss? Bobo said he fired defensive line coach Ricky Logo and special teams coordinator Jaime Bryant after the New Mexico Bowl loss, so the team now needs an entire defensive coaching staff, an offensive coordinator, a special teams coordinator and a 10th assistant, too. That leaves a lot of work for Bobo, after the early signing period which happened last Wednesday, and preparing for the coming National Signing Day in February, too. Speaking of that early signing period, we look at how the Rams upgraded their defensive front and that side of the ball in general. Who could be immediate impact players for the Rams? We take a stab at that. Then, your CSU hoops (7-6) team takes on Boise State (10-2) who

Mike Bobo was extended this week through the 2022 season, just like his boss, AD Joe Parker was. Were they good deals for CSU? We get into why Rams fans should be happy with the two and what it means for the program.Then we get into the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, giving you a preview of both teams. Did you see those awesome white and green bone horn helmets the Rams are wearing? Who are some stars for the Thundering Herd on both sides of the ball and what does CSU have to do to win?We give you the keys to victory.Then, the second half is a quick preview of Men's basketball. They've had a tough go of it on the road and look to snap a two-game losing streak on Sunday afternoon. At home, they're perfect, so why not go see them at 3 p.m. MST at Moby, Sunday?

Joe Parker signed a much-deserved contract extension on Tuesday afternoon, Colorado State University announced. Parker was extended through the 2022 season, five more years, at the price of $2 million.We look at what Parker's done in his first three years with the school, and it's actually a lot more than you may think. Also, what will he do in the near future? He's been sitting in on a lot of Larry Eutschy's post-game pressers; is Larry saying and doing the right things? We examine Larry's team this year and how they've been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs during his six-year tenure. Then, Mike Bobo interviewed six men including Charles Kelly, per reports. Kelly would be a massive hire for the Rams, but did they miss on him? We finish with a bit on the bowl game, which kicks off this Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. MST, and talk Michael Gallup as well as a few more notes for you stalwarts. 

With so many changes in coaching for Colorado State, our podcast revolves around them today. Will Friend and Terry Fair have departed Fort Collins for Knoxville, Tennessee to join Jeremy Pruitt of the Volunteers in the SEC.For Friend and Fair, it's a step up to the P5 level, where each have already coached, and now it means the most important offseason for Mike Bobo as a head coach.Bobo gets to hire his Defensive Coordinator and use that $540,000 that Friend made to spend on the hire, as well as a new Offensive Coordinator and DBs coach. In all, there are four positions open, and Bobo has a chance to shape this staff just the way he likes before what should be a huge 2018 season.Who could be the next O.C. for CSU? We take a guess there before highlighting Michael Gallup's career at Colorado State. While he didn't win the Biletnikoff Award yesterday, Gallup did enjoy landing on two All-American teams.In the second half of the podcast, we talk about CSU's road woes. The Rams are 4-0 at home this season and 0-5

Colorado State enjoyed their most complete game, playing the "right way" as Larry Eustachy says, in their victory over the rival CU Buffs on Saturday.Why was that win so huge? They not only dominated on the glass, but on defense, and listened to coaching in terms of getting the ball inside on offense, too. That win was massive for the team because it righted the ship at 4-4 overall going into tonight's huge road game against Arkansas (5-2) and then Friday's road game at Oregon (5-3), each Power 5 opponents.We give you a quick preview of the Arkansas game and how the Rams can win tonight, as that game tips off at 6 p.m. MST and can be seen on the Watch ESPN app.The second half of the podcast focuses on CSU football and their upcoming bowl game in New Mexico against the Marshall Thundering Herd. It will be Marty English's last game coaching for CSU, and, it's a huge opportunity for Mike Bobo to get his first bowl win at the school. Also, coaching changes are happening at CU, too, and how ESPN thinks the bowl ga

Colorado State men's basketball is struggling away from home this season, going 0-4 on the road, while they have won all their home games and sit at 3-4 on the season. The good news? They play the University of Colorado at home tomorrow morning (11 am MST). The bad news? CU is 6-0 on the season, although they are inexperienced and have yet to play a road game. In the second half of the podcast, we talk with Mat Smith, the CU Editor for MileHighSports.com, about the Buffs, their stars and some key matchups in the game as well. We also talk to Larry Eustachy about his team's up-and-down start to the season, as well as redshirt junior leader JD Paige and how the Rams can win on Saturday afternoon.The first half of the podcast is dedicated to CSU football. Where will they play in their bowl game is quickly touched on before celebrating the many players who were named All-Mountain West and/or will be competing in showcase games like the Senior Bowl and East-West Shine Game. Also, a little bit on Rams recruiting ne

Marty English will retire from the Rams at the end of this year, following the bowl game in late December. What does that mean for the team? We look at his departure as well as other CSU Rams assistants; does Will Friend make too much money?English simply had to go after so many disappointing performances by the defense over last year and this season, too. Besides English being replaced, we look at the many things to be excited for when it comes to the 2018 CSU Rams. Then, the second half of the podcast focuses on Michael Gallup and a recruiting commit from the JUCO level before we get into the preview of CSU Men's basketball against Missouri State tonight at 6 p.m. MST on ESPN3. That, and much more, in this podcast.

There are currently six Mountain West teams eligible for bowl games and UNLV could become the seventh this weekend with a win over Nevada. Where does that leave the Rams?We look at the five bowls connected with the Mountain West as well as a sixth, and what that could mean for Colorado State and where they could play. Also, which teams they could possibly face in December.Then, Christian Colon is no longer on the roster, and three Rams were honored by Pro Football Focus for their play against San Jose State.The second half of the podcast focuses on CSU men's basketball and their early-season road struggles.

The 42-14 victory was much-need for the reeling Rams as they righted the ship just before their bowl game.Can the Rams keep that momentum going into the bowl game? And, how can the defense play at the same level of the offense?We celebrate Michael Gallup for being a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and tell fans how to vote for him (here).Then, in the second half of the podcast, we interview Joe Parker about not only the season attendance record for CSU football, but he talks about Ram Ruckus and his preference for afternoon games over late kickoffs.Finally, we talk CSU hoops who had a rough go in Jamaica and are back stateside for another road game on Wednesday.
