  • PRELUDE: On September 7, 2024, Colorado State University retired Lt. Col. John Mosley's No. 14 across all sports in a ceremony before the game against Northern Colorado at Canvas Stadium. Mosley's son, Eric, himself a retired United pilot, and other family members participated in the ceremony. I long had been advocating renaming a street outside Canvas Stadium to honor Mosley, but this certainly works. "It was really a special, special weekend, getting to know the Mosley family," CSU coach Jay Norvell said after the game. "What an amazing family, an amazing group of people that have accomplished so much. I was humbled to be able to spend time around them."
