The Bobcat Nation

Lets here some different names for the Cat/ Griz rivalry. I mean, other rivalries at least have cool names.
Examples:

Notre Dame-USC's Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh
Minneosta-Michigan's Battle for the Little Brown Jug
Oklahoma-Texas' Red River Shootout

I like the Divide War.

I was kind of partial to "Montana Power Fall Classic."

RIght, the last coule years they handed out gold coins which I think you could actually trade in for stock the last year.

I still have the 1997 gold coin. It was a good idea and Montana Power was a great sponsor of all Montana athletics (college and high school), but they thought telecommunications was the way to go...bankrupt. Divide War is really a neat way to say it, but Cat-Griz works too.

what about Cat/Griz - The Great Divide ?

As does Griz-Cat.

How bout "Rights to the Rockies"

Notre Dame-USC's Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh
Minneosta-Michigan's Battle for the Little Brown Jug

These are cool names?

I like Divide War, or just plain The Brawl.

I like Brawl of the Wild. It is very fitting for Montana I think.

How about the Jock's (MSU) vs. the Doppers(UM)!

Do they play for any type of annual traveling trophy or jug??

They play for a huge traveling trophy

Yeah, they play for the "battle of the Great Divide" trophy, or something like that. The trophy started in 2001 and the winning team keeps the trophy for the year. After 100 years, the team that won the most meetings in that stretch keeps it for good. It's a relatively new thing to add to the rivalry.
