It is cool that we also got the good uniform colors in the deal. How many trys at a uniform combo has the small school to the west had?AFCAT wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 9:45 amI see your question has already been answered. Thanks guys! Anyway, yes from what I’ve read in the past, it caused a bit of a stir for both schools to change names in 1965 rather than just one, but they worked it out. Heck, as noted above, both schools changed names numerous times over the previous years anyway.coloradocat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 8:01 pmYou seem like a guy that might know this: what's the deal with the name changes? I know we got the name when we officially became a "university" but it seems like it would have been easier to just give us the UM name instead of taking MSU from Missoula and both schools having to change names.
Just a good rule of thumb, when searching for MSU related items on eBay, be aware of the name changes or you could get burned. Even just checking for ‘Montana State’ items can be risky.

Their black and orange "Halloweenies" were their best color combo, in my opinion!

Re: Cool Bobcat "man cave" items
It's funny, old guys like me like to say uniforms don't matter. But when the gris came out in their throwbacks that one year (2008?), that stadium went bonkers and the Cats never had a chance. Maybe they didn't have a chance anyway, but that was extra soul-crushing. Then two years later they came out in the aforementioned black and orange, and it's like they knew they tried too hard that time around. I'm not saying it's the most important thing, or even one of the most important...but there's something to the old "look good play good" line.

Re: Cool Bobcat "man cave" items
I remember that game you are referring to, when they came out in the old copper/brown/yellow unis, and you're exactly right. They played to the crowd's fever pitch that day. A uniform can make a difference...kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 12:24 pmIt's funny, old guys like me like to say uniforms don't matter.

That's is pretty cool!
I have one from 2006, when Al Beye was a senior. One of my fondest pieces of Bobcat memorabilia, since we lost big Al shortly afterwards.
