Moments like the end of the 2015 Rocky Mountain Showdown don't happen very often. The last sporting event I attended where I felt an equal or greater emotional release took place on December 7, 2013 when Askia Booker Euro-stepped into a thirty footer that turned Coors Events Center into a powderkeg.
If Saturday night's victory didn't bring quite the same sense of relief and elation as the one from two years ago, it was certainly close. Granted, the football team only had a one game losing streak against CSU; compared to the nineteen-game slide the basketball team snapped, but the stakes for this game were far higher.
