It’s bowl season, and what better way to cheer on CSU in the Poinsettia Bowl and CU in the Champs Sports Bowl than with these game-day accouterments.
La-Z-Boy chic
Recliners and football may go together like Sonny Lubick and the Rams, but they’re as incompatible with stylish living rooms as Chuck Fairbanks was with CU. But now there’s the La-Z-Boy’s Carlyle, a chic but comfortable version of the traditional recliner. Lean back and let the games begin. $1,097-$1,379 LA-Z-BOY STORES
Crack open a song
You can add even further enjoyment to your university-sanctioned, nonalcoholic beverage with a bottle opener that plays the CU fight song. $8.95. COLLEGE CORNER, BOULDER
Rhinestone Ram fan

Hometown snacking
