I appreciate passion and I love the fact that both fanbases are so passionate about their team. I love the fact that after the last year and a half, we get to do this again and this time for the 120th time, plus, a little friendly smack talk never hurt anyone.
I would absolutely love to see the Gameday crew in Missoula for the Brawl of the Wild, but not because "Missoula deserves it", because Montana State is having an amazing season and this could be the icing on the cake as far as the regular season goes.
This annual event, which raises hundreds of thousands of pounds of food for Montanans, is something that every Bobcat and Bozemanite can get behind. Not only does it result in food for those in need in our area, but it's the perfect way to kick off the Holiday Season AND stick it to the Griz.
I have a unique perspective in all of this, because I've lived in both cities. I've been to both stadiums and I've mingled and tailgated with both fan bases. I can tell you who is more passionate and to be honest, it's not even close.
It was the first home Bobcat football game in over 630 days and thousands of Bobcat faithful gathered together prior to the game to tailgate. Old friendships were renewed and the area around Bobcat Stadium was filled with smiles, food, drink, and one common goal. A Bobcat win
Three of the Bobcat's first four games will be on the road. And four of MSU's six opponents made it to the FCS Playoffs at least once in the past two seasons.
Join us for great hockey this Friday at 7:30pm and Saturday at 2pm as Montana State takes on Williston State. Beer and full concession sales will be up and running too.
