Discussion about Cheering/Booing the rival

[JDoub]

This might be seen by some as a sour grapes statement, but ... is this kid going to be a star in the BSC, or did we just miss out on getting a transfer who might be about as good as most of the rest of the guys on our squad already? Is he a guy who will carry a team, or is he just another good player (depth)?

I know he played a lot for OSU, and that alone is worthy of praise ... but OSU was awful. Is he a star player at the BSC level on his own merits, or is his appeal largely fueled by the fact that he is a Montana kid?

Either way, I'm happy to see him in the BSC. The more talent we have in the BSC, the better.

I think that's the right attitude, BAC!

A couple years ago when Montana made the NCAA roundball tourney and played here in SLC, I went to see them upset Nevada, and lose in the 2nd round. As me and my dad were walking to the games in our MSU jackets, some Griz fans asked what we were doing here -- I said we'd support any Montana team on a national stage. If it were EWU, same thing to support the Big Sky. Not much love from grizzle fans that day.

What's good for the conference & state is good for the Cats (usually).

I remember talking with you that day. You stuck out like a sore thumb among all the maroon. I distinctly remember commenting to you that I thought it was nice of you to come and support the Griz. To my dismay tho, you stated that you had bought the tickets before hand and that it was just a coincidence that the Griz were playing. The latter scenario probably is closer to the truth since the NCAA tickets were all bought up long before the tournament began. That is unless you went out of your way and paid scalper prices, like I had to, to see the games.

[What's good for the conference & state is good for the Cats (usually).

Nice thought but I read this messageboard enough to know if you sincere about the above statement then you are in the small minority of Cat fans. Sad, but very true nonetheless.

Reminds me of last years quarterfinal playoff game. The announcer at Wa/Griz announced that the Cats were going to win their playoff gameagainst Furman. The crowd cheered, really, they cheered. In contrast I remember several posters on this board stating that the Griz playoff results were not even mentioned in Bobcat Stadium.

I actually checked and there were tickets available the week prior--so your wrong. You could have waited to see who played before buying tickets. I know because I almost did it. Also, I specifically remember the Griz score being mentioned several times during the Furman game. Seems to me that the Griz started out up 3-0 when they first announced it--or maybe 7-0. Doesn't matter and I'm sure that in both Missoula and Bozeman there were several boos and several cheers--that is reality.

Funny no mention of the fact that you fibbed to everyone on this messageboard about what you said to me were your reasons for being at the game. You came to the tournament because you had planned on it before hand not because you came to watch the Griz play. You made a point of making sure my family and I understood that. Nice try but most of us weren't born yesterday.

I got tickets for the first game against Nevada for face value at the UM ticket office the day after the pairings were announced but paid $500.00 for 4 tickets for the Griz/BC and Gonzaga/Indiana session. I didn't go around telling people I was there to support Gonzaga either just as I am confident you didn't go around telling people you were there just to support the Griz.

BTW, I was mistaken on one thing. It wasn't a quarterfinal game against Furman. The bobcats haven't hosted or won a quarterfinal game in something like a quarter of a century.

It actually wasn't me you talked to in SLC--I decided not to go due to vacation time at work . I was just making the point that you could get tickets after the pairings were announced--although probably not very good ones. My other point was just that they always announce MSU scores at Griz games and vice-versa. I'm sure there are plenty of cheers and plenty of boos at both venues. Sorry for helping to get the thread off topic.

[1BadBobcat]

I'll make two points regarding topics in this thread. 1) Regarding last year's playoff games, I distinctly remember the Griz score being announced several times over the PA at Bobcat Stadium during the game. What I remember is there wasn't much of a reaction either way, as everyone in the Stadium was pretty well caught up in the moment of winning our first playoff game in 20 years. It was the loudest crowd I have ever seen in Bozeman, and I honestly believe most people weren't even paying attention to the score updates. 2) Acting like asses works both ways. I have a good buddy in Missoula whom I grew up with. Because of our friendship and our own personal Cat/Griz rivalry, we have agreed to attend a non Cat/Griz in each others' stadium. I can tell you honestly that when my buddy has been in attendance in Bozeman for a game with his Griz stuff on, no one has ever said boo to him. Yet, the past two seasons when I have gone over to WaGriz with my Bobcats stuff on, I am constantly ridden by Griz fans. In fact, two years ago, I went to Missoula for the Griz/Cal-Poly game. It was a tight, well played game and the Mustangs actually led most of the time until late in the third quarter. The Griz wound up taking advantage of a couple key Cal Poly errors to win the game. However, there were several Griz "fans" that spent more time giving me a hard time about my hat rather than paying attention to the game. Yet another reason I find it hard to stomach rooting for the team in the dark pink.

I agree that it goes both ways. Even in neutral sites. In all fairness to the Griz, I'll post this story. Two years ago in Cheney, at the Bobcat/Eagle game, there were a couple Griz fans wearing their Griz gear, sitting in the midst of the Bobcat section, and they were being heckled by some Cat fans. They left at halftime and never came back.

Last year in a Spokane mall, I was wearing a Cat t-shirt and hat when a couple of guys in their mid-20s walked by and said "F*** the Cats" and "Cats suck"... it goes both ways, and not just in Bozeman or Missoula.

I am probably a bigger football fan than the average guy but honestly if I had the opportunity to go to a Cat game I would jump on it. Mind you I wouldn't be wearing Bobcat gear (I don't own any) but I would gladly cheer for the other Montana team as long as they weren't playing my Montana team. I love that MSU has been televising their games more often and I like to watch them . I don't think that makes me any less of a Griz fan and it just makes the whole rivalry even more meaningful to me. The Griz/Cat game last year was the best game of the year, period. I would also hope that it will always be that way, with the Montana teams slugging it out for the BSC title. Yet another reason why I don't find it hard to root for the baby blue Bobcats.

Went to the PSU game in Bozeman last year and wore my griz hat after the game in the mud bowl while tailgating. I heard on more than one occasion "poor grizzlies". I didn't get it, just like I don't get harrassing cat fans in Missoula. You will never weed out the idiots. I have realized that if I am going to wear it, I'll live with the idiots. Hell, I have three idiot siblings that went to school in Bozeman.

bobcatmaniac,
My jabs at my siblings was meant tongue in cheek. I enjoy my trips to Bozeman. If you knew me, you would realize how far off the mark your "attitude you can smell a mile away" comment is. Like elkmcc, I am a college football fanatic. I used to like it when the cats and griz were scheduled home on opposite weekends so it was easier to make games in Bozeman. I am also glad that most of the cat games are on t.v. as well. I consider it a blessing to have strong programs in Missoula, Bozeman and even Helena. My comment was meant to point out that there are idiots in both Missoula and Bozeman, that care more about harrassing people with different teams on their clothing than watching good football.

[tetoncat]

I went to Missoula with my son last year for Cat/Griz. There were comments on the way in and the way out. Most of it is good natured, as saying better luck next year or whatever as we were heading to the car. I think to many of you on hear need thicker skin. It is a RIVALRY. People will make comments. if you don't want to hear them then don't wear your school colors when you go to a rivals game. Just go and enjoy the game. People won't know where you are from and you can enjoy yourself. If you wear school colors and a rival says something, just tell them to save it until the rival game, at least you are there watching their team.

[info197176]

Au Blue: That may have been my son and I two years ago in Cheney...We left for better seats on the 50 yard line because of an invitation at half-time from some Eastern fans/boosters who happen to live in our community, not because of the "heckling". I'm 6'5" and 240 and my son is only slightly smaller. That stuff doesn't bother us, the only bad experience I've had in bozo was back in the seventy's when my gas tank was sugared following a Griz cat b-ball game.

I am willing to bet that those that said "poor grizzlies" only ment it "tongue in cheek" also. Funny how that works.

I agree if you are going into the othersides home wearing your schools gear you should have a thicker skin.

info... if it was, then thanks for clearing that up. I'm glad you didn't feel the need to leave because of heckling. I just remember a vocal few Cat fans being ridiculously rude towards the Griz fans sitting there. I'm the first to admit that you won't catch me cheering for the Griz, but I'm certainly not going to harass Griz fans who might happen to be cheering for the Cats.

I'll probably sidetrack this thread, but I certainly hope we don't get the same treatment from EWU security this year that we got 2 years ago.
