The longest running rivalry west of the Mississippi River continues Saturday in Laramie, Wyoming when the Colorado State Rams head north to take on the Pokes.
Saturday’s game will be the 107th meeting between the teams, but officially it will only be counted as the 106th. Let’s start there:

CSU and Wyoming first played in 1899, with CSU winning 12-0 after the game ended in a forfeit after a rules disagreement. Because NCAA rules do not recognize forfeits, CSU does not count the game. However, Wyoming has chosen to recognize the contest in its series history.
