I go to Missoula consistently and I have the respect enough to not braizenly wear team colors tbat are hated. I can respect someone that comes to a bar to cheer on the Grizzlies in full maroon, but do you really have to wear things all around town. Just another thing that annoys me about Grizzly fans. Sorry got really off-topic.

heck, I used to wear my Bobcat apparel when I was attending UM. I guess that makes me a bad Bobcat?

If you think weather conditions don't matter, you don't know much. Why do you think the NFL analysts argue that the winner of New England/Indy in an AFC championship depends on who has homefield? Poor conditions will always favor 1 of the teams. Funny how whichever team it does favor always pretends it doesn't matter.

I respect your opinion that weather does matter but using the Pats and Colts is a poor example. Tom Brady is 10-0 in a dome. If think the Pats can't beat them in a dome then you are mistaken. The Pats beat the Colts because they were better. Just like the Steelers beat them. They were better. MSU beat the Griz because they were better. The better team will win this year and the next and the next. You don't hear MSU fans making excuses about field conditions when they loose games so quit making excuses when you get beat fair and square.

Isn't your NE/Indy analogy pointing out the concept of "home field advantage" as opposed to weather advantage?

Old sayings are old for a reason - a lot of truth to them.

I have said before that I admire how the cats have improved since the streak and think MK has done an admirable job, however, you're still trying to emulate our big picture, consistent success as usual.
The Cats have been consistent ( 5 straight years of winning records), the problem is they haven't been able to make the jump to elite.

By the way, would you tell all your friends that wearing Griz clothes all over town is ridiculously arrogant. I'm so sick of seeing Griz coats all over Bozeman.

Go to Great Falls, you'll see lots of blue and gold all of the time. I don't care wear you live, wear your team colors with pride. That goes for both schools.
