Ram–Falcon Trophy

The origin of the Ram–Falcon Trophy is traced back to Shelly Godkin, a former ROTC commander at Colorado State. The trophy was created by local Fort Collins artist, Bill Wrage, who donated several artistic works to Colorado State University. [2] It was first awarded in 1980, when formerly independent Air Force joined Colorado State in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC); CSU won 21–9 on September 6. Both teams moved to the new Mountain West Conference in 1999; Air Force leads the trophy series 27–15 (.643).
