A few Cat Fans.
Just got back from a family gathering with a few Bobcat fans in attendence. These relatives are relatively new fans to the sport of Montana College Football. Having just returned to the state of Montana and being a longtime football fan, I was frustrated to hear some of the comments at this gatheing. Since there team got the s*&^ kicked out of them yesterday, they comment that they hope Sam Houston beats the crap out of the Griz. I don't get their perspective. Montana Fans shoud be pulling for a Montana team that is still in the tournament. Don't be so bitter and close minded. There are More Montana kids on the Griz than Sam Houston. You want to root for Sam Houston, Move your butt to Texas. OH yea, The Cats have probably the 2nd best Bowl Championship facility in the Country and obviously the 2nd best college football team in the state Of Montana.

Well Sam Gratton didn't want us to win, so why should we want him to win? I noticed this on the news last night, so FTG

Re: A few Cat Fans.
I wonder why they feel that way?
MSU - 16 team National Champions (most recent 2024); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).

Atta boy Cranky.....cherry pick a few Cat fans that don't worship the Grizzlies.....and then have the gall (or ignorance) to lump them all together......please don't be so condescending!!!! Check out egriz and you will see all the love that the Grizz fans show the Cats...not all of them worship the Cats...surprise, surprise. (hey they're from Montana too).....duh!!!!!

Re: A few Cat Fans.
Sam Gratton, amongst many other of your "fans" are several examples of why I will never root for the griz. I've actually tried but you guys prove time after time that it's worthless. The hate gets stronger every year. FTG. All day every day.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Re: A few Cat Fans.
I really couldn't care less about how the griz do.
"oh boo hoo, root for us, we're in the same state...boo hoo"
Forget it. I hope SHSU takes the title.

Re: A few Cat Fans.
I have no problem rooting for montana kids. My problem, year after year, is the arrogance exhibited by griz "fans" and their "birthright" regarding championships. The best part of winning Cat/griz last fall was the glorious silence all winter!!! That was the best....

My user name says it..FTG247365....This idea of rooting for the Griz is for people, not fans who sit on the fence. They aren't True Die Hard Cat fans, simple as that.

Re: A few Cat Fans.
The only positive to come out of the MSU loss on Saturday is we managed to screw UM in having to travel to Sam Houston. Go BearKats - FTG. Hope you lose 100-0.
