15 Fort Collins Restaurants Worth The Drive For An Unforgettable Meal

I keep thinking about how many great meals hide in a college town. A Colorado city with a big campus and a famous brewing scene could easily coast on that fame. Instead, it keeps surprising me with restaurants that have real personality. I love that the menus here run wide....

CSU, Wyoming to end consecutive games streak dating to World War II

A streak dating back to 1946 will end. The Colorado State and Wyoming football teams aren't scheduled to play each other in the 2027 season. Barring the two meeting in a postseason game, it will end 81 seasons in a row for the teams to play each other. The last break was from 1943-45 due to World War II (CSU didn’t field a team in 1943 and 1944). The break comes as conference realignment and schedule changes have split the teams. CSU left the Mountain West for the Pac-12, beginning in the 2026 season. Wyoming stayed in the Mountain West. The teams managed to get a nonconference game on the schedule for 2026 ( won 35-13 by the Rams ) and have signed a deal to play every year from 2028-2036 . But no agreement was reached for a 2027 game. With a series of schedule changes for 2027 taking place , the Rams will play seven home games and not play Wyoming. Both teams already had full nonconference schedules for the 2027 season when the conference split happened. The Border War series began in 1899 and has been played almost every year since. The 2027 season will be only

This $10,000-a-Pound Spice Could Help Save Colorado Farmers

Beneath Denver’s solar panels, a spice nicknamed “red gold” is yielding a promising harvest that could help Colorado farmers earn more with less water. At Colorado State University Spur, horticulture graduate student Reece Bailey is investigating whether saffron could become a profitable addition to the state’s farms. His experiments in the campus’s urban gardens and green roof research areas are testing how the crop handles Colorado’s climate, how much water it needs, and whether growing it beneath solar panels improves production.

Parents file lawsuit against PSD board alleging secret meetings violated state law

Landon Yarrington said that he and his wife, Jonna, just want to see the Poudre School District follow the law. The parents of a student at Beattie Elementary School said they were troubled by how the PSD board decided which schools would close or consolidate. So they attended listening sessions, wrote multiple letters and, finally, a type of formal written notice called a Letter of Demand. When those entreaties went unanswered by the district or PSD superintendent Brian Kingsley, they decided to sue.

A prolific year for top Northern Colorado teams really pays off this week with some high-level playoff matchups. Fort Collins looks to keep a special 10-0 season going against a strong Denver squad to open the Lambkins' Class 5A postseason push. Meanwhile, Loveland welcomes an old 5A power in a 4A showdown, Timnath gets its first-ever 3A home playoff game and Wellington hosts a 2A quarterfinal as the Eagles try to defend their state title.
