wow lute you've got a little strawman mixed with red herring and at the very least 3 beers wrapped up in those last posts.
Please promise us you won't drive tonight.

Kcatz, you are correct. MSU had a choice between using warmers or not using warmers. The NCAA does not provide warmers. MSU wanted to use warmers. UM’s willingness to provide theirs for the visiting team to use made it happen. Cooperation and contributions that take place between two great universities, MSU and UM, are not veiled jabs or shrewd strategies. Sometimes people and institutions can just be nice to each other. We’re fortunate it happens a lot in Montana.

You are obnoxious to listen to. Spending your time here to post trying to make the Gris think they give two sh*** about the Cats. They don’t and I can guarantee you it was Bobby dick move..

Not obnoxious really.

This is a class act by an excellent university. The MSU announcement says MSU is proud to contribute. I don’t think the butt hurt guys who posted negative, inaccurate comments above are representative of Bobcat Nation.

It is a classy excellent thing for a proud MSU to do. After pointing that out you could've shown class and excellence by making a point of writing "Thank you" and let it be at that. Instead your head and thoughts were so focused on making a far less important point that you forgot to do the greater thing. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it shows your lack of training rather than tell you the other things it shows about you.

I have zero problems with what he wrote. Zero. He's right. The comments that were negative do not represent Bobcatnation by and large.

Total difference between supporting their football team and supporting their band.

Nobody is "right" about a subjective opinion. Just because you might agree with him doesn't mean he is right.

I don't have a big issue with giving them 3k because that really isn't very much in the grand scheme of what it will cost for travel, food, lodging for their entire band, and it is a solid PR move for MSU. I get it and I'm ok with it.
But the other side of the coin is that when people donate their money to MSU they presumably want it to be spent on MSU. If they wanted their money to goto um then they probably would've written them a check themselves.

Just something to consider, that there are 2 sides to it.

The two sides to it are generosity and pettiness. MSU did a neat, generous thing that the vast majority of Bobcat fans on social media are praising (check the Facebook comments on the various news story posts). How can you seriously criticize your university for this demonstration of good will? I guess I don’t care about the answer because it’s only a few butt hurt who are grumbling. Thanks, MSU.

There you are again running your pie hole on your rivals site. I guessing you don’t donate much money to UM. Go back towards to beginning of this thread and read my comments. I despise everything about your school of dance and liberal bull sh**. I donate generously to MSU and expect it to stay there. I donated money to get our band to Frisco a few years back. Is all I’ve heard for a week is Missoula news running their mouth… (seems to be a common problem in Missoula) about how the 3 playoff games brought in approximately 7.5 million dollars into Missoula. Here’s an idea… why don’t all the businesses that benefited from that and all you fans who wear dark pink and think you are the almighty football gods get off yer asses and get your band to Frisco.

You are excellently representing the viewpoint of the few, the cranky … the butt hurt. The vast majority of Bobcat fans support their university and MSU’s decision to help some Montana students perform their music in Frisco. Thank you, MSU and the large majority of Bobcat Nation! Merry Christmas! Safe travels and wellness to all.

Think of this as something coming from MSU's advertising budget. So it is really staying with MSU. At a time when the state could only be talking about the gris going to Frisco, they're talking about MSU giving the band $. So the ROI on that $3k is huge!

I read it with an ESPN bi-line the other day.

We didn’t really have to pay out any coaching performance bonuses this year, so there’s a ton of money laying around.

Cmon man!! There is nothing wrong with giving to the needy!

[St George]

Kind of pathetic that a team going to Frisco can't afford to give a little money to their band and instead has to come begging to their rival for donations.

Yes, pretty lame and embarrassing on behalf of dUMb and their alumni.

Yep, UM is crowd funding their band trip to Frisco just as MSU did in 21….guess that was lame, embarrassing and dumb for MSU alumni. Feel free to provide evidence that UM begged for money from their rival.

MSU’s public announcement and the actions of MSU & UM in this circumstance prove the opposite of what these few whiners in Butthurt Nation are prattling on about. MSU and the vast majority of Bobcat Nation are class acts. Thank you! Good luck to the Bobcats in ‘24.

[84CatGrad]

I'm OK with us donating money to the maroon band to get to Frisco. I just hope they are playing "taps" at the end of the game.

84CatGrad nails it, in my opinion. It’s still OK to root against any team, including the in-state rival. But helping some Montana students with a donation to the band is a class act. It’s OK to want those students to be disappointed with the football score at the end of the day. Thanks, MSU.

Again, put up some serious monies in donations and have the hatred in my heart I have for Gris Nation and your team and then let’s talk..

Kcatz, I’m trying very hard to be ok with it…and your explanation helps… but I live in the Flathead Valley and have for 53 years. I’ve listened to their Bullsh*** for 53 yrs.. for GRiZnationalist to preach to me about butt hurt… I’m guessing he buys a few game tickets and a hoodie every 2-3 yrs. Got on the band wagon when he mastered the skin flute, for nothing better to do then get on his rivals board from his mothers basement on his mothers wifi and tell me
I’m butt hurt… yah I am…pissed is a better word..I hoping they get boat raced, destroyed in that game. But whatever you do Big Brother “ please don’t embarrass the state”

Actually it was my hot take. Kcatz was quoting me.
