FIGHT ON STALWART RAMS!
The CSU Rams continue to exceed expectations as they are hungry for their future. While they maintain a mentality that the best days are yet to come, they’ve been having some pretty great days already. With a program dedicated to grit and perseverance, they have also created a home for their student athletes. It is essential that their men’s and women’s facilities reflect the energy inside Moby Arena, and what happens outside of it. Ft. Collins is a significant part of the CSU culture.
Recruiting great people, not just great basketball players, is supported by the community and atmosphere on Colorado State’s campus, as well as everything that the area has to offer. The program punches above its weight class, and the Moby Arena Locker Rooms favor the bold athletes that fulfill that mantra.
In the empathy-driven portion of understanding the CSU Rams, the meaning of what being a Stalwart Ram directed the course. Kendyll Kinzer, a junior Women’s Basketball player, assisted in the understanding by describing that “Stalwart means loyalty and Ram pride. It means you are committed to putting everything out on the floor.” The meaning of this word defines their being. It is supported by the Fight Song that is sung in warmups, in the tunnel and in Moby Arena after the game.
