The Rocky Mountain Showdown: The history and future of the mile high rivalry

For the last time at Mile High Stadium, the University of Colorado Buffaloes football team took the field against their in-state rivals, Colorado State University. With the Buffs winning this last matchup 52-31, CU got the last laugh in this Mile-High rivalry. But before fans look to what is next for the future of the competition, here is a look back at what made the game something special:

The showdown began over a century ago when Colorado took on CSU in a blowout 70-6 win in Boulder. The game was played annually from 1899-1958 save for a few missed games in 1901, 1905, 1943 and 1944.
