Now that the Colorado State Rams' 2023 home football season is over -- ending with a 30-20 win over Nevada Saturday -- I'll renew this suggestion, both here and in social media.

 

I hope that by next season, a street outside Canvas Stadium is renamed Lt. Col. John Mosley Boulevard, honoring one of the most stalwart of the Stalwarts. The Denver native was a CSU / A&M football, wrestling and student body trailblazer, then a Tuskegee Airman, and a long-time officer as an Air Force pilot through the Vietnam era who finished up his working years with the federal government.   

 

That's all.

 

He's the most Stalwart of the Stalwarts.

 

I was proud to do several stories and a book passage on Lt. Col. Mosley, and I interviewed him on camera for 104 minutes for a Fox Sports Rocky Mountain feature. (In the photo below, that's my right shoulder.) I've got that interview on a DVD. 

 

Here's an omnibus version of my writing on Lt. Col. Mosley.
