What is the story behind the trophy ''being dropped''? Have seen several gris posters bring it up.
to people we pushing the cart out and tried to hurry. dumped it on the ground. team rushed over to pick it up. lots of video on facebook and on bobcat nation somewhere. egris has it too but it is a dumpster fire over there this week
Honestly, I know the gris are trying to poke fun at it, but I’m glad it happened. Revealed the hideous sticker on the bottom.

Can Conner throw?
I was so bummed when that didn't work. I would pay money to see that work for Conner!

It was on a cart-like contraption and being pushed toward the field by a couple Montana State employees. The contraption looked very top heavy.

The whole thing tipped on its side, no damage was done....darnit.

Hoping for a new attractive trophy....instead of the big turd.
Well, you could commission Richard Dreyfus to recreate his Close Encounters mashed potato scene if it would make you happy. The trophy is perfect…no “little brown jug”, no “potato”, no causeway… it’s perfect…unless you like mashed potato mountains better. :coffee:

They could hollow it out and get it from 309 lbs down to around 100.

I agree, I think it's cool that we have that huge, heavy thing that a talented artist created. That said, from a distance it does look exactly like a big pile of poop.

There's a meme out there that I'm sure a lot of you have seen, but it's a picture with a couple actors from some movie and the captions say "Griz fans - Well the Cat's haven't played anybody good!", and the other captions says "Cat Fans - Still haven't.

At Fresno State, interim head coach Tim Skipper has the Bulldogs bowl eligible after knocking off previous conference division-leader Colorado State. Skipper earned a $50,000 bowl bonus per USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz for the win, and he’s certainly in contention for the full-time role.

But sources tell FootballScoop that Montana State head coach Brent Vigen is a strong candidate for the post; Vigen currently has Montana State with the top overall seed in the 2024 FCS Playoffs.

I don’t know how to post pictures on here, but my son sent me an interesting photo of Tommy from Tommy’s instagram page. It was a picture of Tommy sitting next to the Great Divide Trophy, and the caption said, “To Refrain From Imitation Is The Best Revenge- Marcus Aurelius”

Tommy is an impressive leader.
