DENVER ( KDVR ) — The Rocky Mountain Showdown , a rivalry between the University of Colorado Buffaloes and the Colorado State University Rams, is set for Saturday , but this is the last game of the tradition for the next five years.
The two Colorado teams play in separate conferences, but the schools create a deal where the teams would play each other in pre-scheduled matches, usually every few years.
However, the schools are taking a break after Saturday.
