Montana has far more playoff wins this decade than anyone not named App State, and even that is very, very close.
When the jealousy runs as deep as it does in bozo, you have to expect them to try to hang their hat on any little shred of failure we might have. Just remember they are our little brothers and we need to play nice with them.


The GRIZ, a quarter century of total football dominance over the cats.

Imagine when the Griz don't make the playoffs. Cars will be flipped and set on fire all over Bozeman in the celebration.

Cat fan" F yeah the Griz didn't make the playoffs, they su8K" "FTG FTG FTG" " Next year we kick Griz azzz"


Never mistake activity for accomplishment.

GrizinWashington,

Please re-read my last post as I did not discuss 2 years ago or 4 years ago, I was talking about last year when you were highly rated and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Just when I had a shred of hope for Griz fan with the Billings Fan, you and your buddy East Coast Billings had to come out from under your peace rally and make more stupid comments on a Cat website. I could care less if you have the most playoff wins of all time (not because I am jealous as you state) because unless you win it all, it does not matter. Nobody in their right mind plays for 2nd place.

Just admit the Griz are overrated and we can end this discussion.
This wasn't your post?

My question: How can a team that routinely gets deep into the playoffs and has the 2nd most playoff wins over the past 8 years (and FAR AND AWAY the most over the past 15 years) be overrated? I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

Yes, we lost last year and it sucked. But bad Sh&t happens in the playoffs. We were playing, quite likely, the 6th or 7th best team in the country. I don't care who you are, you're going to lose some of those games. But to suggest that that means the Griz are overrated is flat-out silly.

As for playing for 2nd place, wasn't it you who said you'd rather sit at home and NOT make the playoffs?? What's that playing for, 98th place??


We're all here 'cause we ain't all there.

I thought most teams in the Big Sky played for 2nd place in their own conference. Year in and year out the Griz win the BSC and the rest well they fight for 2nd. Besides this year of course. Damn u Weber

I would have to argue with this post. I for one love this rivalry. Most Griz love their team, and their faithfulness shows through. They boast pride in their team and I completely support that. If the griz fans weren't so boisterous for their team, our rivalry would be extrememly boring. I for one have no idea why someone would root for The UM Griz. But I support their commitment non-the-less.

In regards to the fact that they host hardly any humility. Yelling profanities and running their mouths. I believe most hardcore cat fans are in the same boat. Not a cat game goes by when there isn't a chant being yelled through the crowd "eat $#it Grizzlies, GO CATS GO" I see kids younger than 10 joining in. I think it's great however and I'm in there chanting with them and think it is very healthy for both sides to completely loath each other.

I for one hope the rivalry continues to be aggressive and distastful. If I ever see a Cat Fan and Griz Fan holding hands, I will know that the Anti-Christ has come, there is peace on earth, and the world will end soon. READ REVELATION in the bible. I believe there is a part in there about the Grizzly and the Bobcat eating grapes together or something...

HAHA.

So... Common Cat... don't be so un-emotional. Get up on your seat. Punch a Maroon wearing idiot in the face. And shout with us...

EAT $#IT GRIZZLIES, GO CATS GO!

That Cats do that at all of their games? Why? Do they harbor some strange obsession with Montana regardless of who they're playing? Does this obvious obsession with the Griz transfer from the fans to the players? Is this Griz envy?

Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
