• Could Wayne Allard actually be a good CSU chancellor?

  Wayne Allard. As soon as word surfaced that Wayne Allard was interested in the open post of Colorado State University chancellor, the folks at the left-leaning ProgressNow organization hit the apeshit button, arguing that Allard would be as bad a CSU administrator as he's been a U.S. senator. But this response ignores a couple of salient factors. First of all, Larry Penley, the outgoing chieftain at the university, didn't exactly shower himself with glory during his time in the job, and the

• Colorado State University smells like... deer and locker rooms?

  Yesterday, National Public Radio aired a story about Masik Collegiate Fragrances of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which is developing a line of scents that are supposed to capture the essences of specific universities. Thus far, the firm has only come up with fragrances for Penn State and the University of North Carolina -- so an intrepid NPR correspondent headed out to the streets to ask grads from other schools what smell would best capture their alma mater. The first person who speaks is Yvonne

• Video: College football commentator spots a Sasquatch in Fort Collins!

  You heard it here first, Colorado. Thanks to a reader tip, Westword has discovered video proof of some type of Sasquatch-type creature that lives in the foothills of Fort Collins and appears only during Colorado State University football games. Amazingly, the beast was first spotted romping on a nearby hill by a Mountain West Sports Network commentator during a November game between the CSU Rams and the New Mexico Lobos. "That was 'A' Mountain right behind Hughes Stadium. I swear to god it

Or the living. Last May, a tornado cut a swath through much of Windsor, Colorado, and among its victims was a badly interested mare whose ovaries were harvested shortly before it was euthanized. Subsequently, two surrogate mothers were chosen to carry on the mare's bloodline -- and last month, two healthy f

The public is invited to listen in on the conversation -- but the citizenry didn

• CSU's Japan earthquake test: best experiment ever

  Yesterday, a Colorado State University team led by civil engineering professor John van de Lindt successfully staged a very large-scale test in Miki City, Japan. They've come up with a new approach to building earthquake-proof (or at least more earthquake-proof) buildings, and to see if they're on the right track, they assembled a seven-story mock condominium on an enormous platform capable of simulating a magnitude 7.5 temblor. Not only were the initial results positive, but they're a lot of

• Party time in Fort Collins after CSU beat CU -- and before the rubber bullets started flying

  Last night, Colorado State University fans descended on downtown Fort Collins to celebrate the Rams' out-of-the-blue 23-17 victory over the heavily favored CU Buffs in this year's Rocky Mountain Showdown. But what began as a good time devolved into a bummer when cops used rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. CU cops feared trouble at the game itself, held at Folsom Field in Boulder, and according to the Boulder Daily Camera, 75 fans were eventually ejected. But no one seems to have anticipated
