Gear Up For Game Day: Colorado State Rams

Colorado State is set for a matchup at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins featuring players with deep family ties to Wyoming football. The article profiles four sideline family connections: Dante Bruley, Gage Brook, Spencer Rathbun and Mason Drube, all linked to past Cowboys. It recalls John Bruley’s defensive line years at Laramie (1988–92) and Rob Rathbun and the late Kirby Drube helping Wyoming win a Pacific Division title and reach the inaugural WAC Championship game in 1996, including a Border War meeting in frigid Fort Collins. Mason Drube’s family includes multiple CSU and Wyoming connections, and he joked about his father’s dislike of “the sheep.” Spencer Rathbun said he attended a CSU camp in Fort Collins but wasn’t recruited, while Gage Brook also reported no contact from CSU coaches.
