I dont mind the grizidiots that know football, but most of those know how close they really are to an 8-3 or worse season, so they dont make as much noise.
I was just in Costco and saw there was a "history of griz football" book. I guess there were just too many grizidiots out there so they decided to publish something to educate them. Problem is... most grizidiots can't read... not a prerequisite for UM.

How thick can a book about the last 14 years be? :wink:

Beat me to it.... I saw the book somewhere last year. Lots of pictures.... Lots and lots of pictures. A few pop-ups as well.

ABSOLUTELY! I have hated them for 40 years. That is what makes this rivalry so great (I think the best in the country). We are not supposed to like each other. I cannot understand what was so upsetting about the ad in the Chronicle. That ad should have made every Bobcat proud and every griz laugh! DO you think the fans in Ohio cheer for MIchigan every weekend except one? NO WAY! I know that both are schools are Montana schools but that makes NO difference. And, that excuse that both have MT kids on the roster is getting old! I cheer for MSU. I am a Bobcat and once a kid signs with us he becomes a Bobcat. No less of a Bobcat than a kid from Great Falls. If every kid we signed came from the California institute for troubled teens I would still cheer for them the same because they are Bobcats! And if a kid chooses um then he becomes part of the enemy. This is how it has always been and this is what fuels the rivalry. If you want to show them respect, fine but I don't think that is necessary either but if you cheer for the griz in any game then I am just never going to understand that!

No question I wouldn't hate the griz if their fans weren't such sensitive, egotistical, insecure jerks.

I posted that picture of the ad on my facebook profile and got some nasty comments from friends on my list I barely know. When asked "Why don't you root for a team from Montana", my simple answer was "I don't wana hear about it for the entire year." That is what I boils down to. If the Griz won the chipper, they would be all over the board bragging, looking for us to kiss their ass, etc. That is the reason. I don't hate the program, the school, the players. I hate the fans. And therefore can never cheer for them because those same fans will make my life miserable.

A guy I work with (well he just quit) was a Griz fan dating back to the 70s. He was my favorite Griz fan ever. We gave each other the good natured ribbing of course, but he didn't give me any guff when the Cats lost in the Brawl. He said when he was going to school at UM, the Cats pounded them all the time, and he said what goes around comes around. I told him if all Griz fans were like you, I wouldn't hate them. One of the nicest guys you could hope to know.

That and the streak was the worst thing to happen to this rivalry. I can't blame Griz fans for being obnoxious, and they should understand why we are bitter. Lopsidedness ruined this rivalry, and unfortunately it is started to slant that way again.

Griz fans are like Yankee fans. Everyone hates em.
Cat fans are like Eagles fans. We hate everything.

This is BS CC I should be your favorite Griz.

When have I ever gave you grief and I believe I may have poured you a drink a couple years ago.

I'm a little disappointed in myself. BBB actually said I was a nice guy. (I think. Unless he was just calling me a girl like grizgirl)
My 2010 New Years Resolution: To make BBB and every other Bobcat fan hate me.






Much better than my previous one: To get promoted from fry fryer to hamburger flipper.

The ladies do love you...........................because they can go shop for shoes with you.

No real woman would dig you because you can wear a smaller dress size than those catty gals can.
