"Of course we're really proud of them, not just the Division II football championship, but really, the student-athlete citizens who make up the population of CSU-Pueblo and the faculty and the administration. They've done a lot for Pueblo, and we just wanted to honor them," said Mary Tinkcom, co-owner of Frederica Mesa Farm.
