Colorado State fans took advantage of the first snowstorm of the year, but some took it too far by throwing snowballs toward the Air Force bench.
The fans at Colorado State hurt their own on Saturday. The Rams were hosting No. 19 Air Force in a snowy Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, so the fans took advantage. However, some took it too far by throwing snowballs at the Air Force bench.
Announcers of the game said the fans had been warned in the first half to refrain from doing so – when it happened again early on in the second half, the Colorado State team, not the fans, were punished with a personal foul call. The referee, while announcing the flag, asked the fans to stop. 'Will the audience please refrain from throwing snowballs? It'll continue to cost Colorado State,' the referee said. At the time, it was a 13-13 game.
Air Force's 19th ranking is their highest in over 20 years, and entering Saturday, their 306 rushing yards per game were tops in the nation. They are now 8-0 on the season. Colorado State has now lost 26 consecutive games to ranked opponents, their last win coming in 2002.
