Griz fans are not as passionate about the rivalry, face it.
We get ridiculed for storming the field.
We get ridiculed for tearing down the goalpoats.
We get ridiculed for basking in victory over the Griz.
Why? Cuz Griz fans don't care as much about a W over the Cats. They aren't as excitable for the Brawl. Try and prove me wrong?

tacoma griz,it's very tough for a griz fan to believe, or other fans for that matter, that your season doesn't revolve around montana. yes the griz always have montana state circled on their calendar, there's no denying that -- especially since the streak ended. the playoff aspirations and contention every year give the fans more to talk about -- when it seems that all the discussion going on over here is either directed about bobcat athletics or anti-griz. no exceptions.
Your fascination with bobcat athletics (or anti-griz) is humbling, yet puzzling. Welcome to the Bobcat Nation.........

Great time to be a BOBCAT!
Good post...The Cats have caught up with the Griz on the field with good talent and good coaching. Now, if only a few alums could step up and finish off the stadium...barechestcat wrote:Tacoma,tacoma_griz wrote:serious question
why tear down the goal posts? the season is over.....and you expect griz fans not to believe your season revolves around the griz?
You say you asked a serious question. So, I'll try to answer it from my personal viewpoint.
Why tear down the goal posts? One, it wasn't planned. Two, it was done by college-aged fans who were jubilant over a big victory over our rival. I'm going to guess you are past college age. But, did you not do anything spontaneous, perhaps questionable during your times at (I presume) UM?
I was right at the goal post when the first people got up on it. As it started to come down, I wasn't exactly pleased about it. But, people were celebrating and it just happened.
Isn't the rivalry game supposed to be a huge game? It is for Ohio State/Michigan, it is for the apple cup, it is for the civil war. Why would we not be ecstatic that we just beat you? Would it have been better for us to just file out of the stadium emotionless?
Our program is catching up to yours. On this day, we were the better team and we beat you soundly. Do not, again I say, do not think for a second that we revolve our entire season around the Griz game. We wanted a playoff spot this year. We wanted to host a playoff game. As this team continues to improve, we expect those things to happen. You are going to need to find something else to nitpick because it's a new day and, while the Cat/Griz will always remain a huge game, it is no longer a measuring stick for a successfull season in this program by itself. It is simply one part of it. And, if you think it's not for the Griz, you are completely kidding yourself.
When you start lowering your comments to things like this or questioning our attendance it makes you appear bitter and petty.
The official release from the MSU athletics office was that we sold out every game this year but the Sac State game. Why question it any further? We feel we need to expand the stadium both to attract more fans and to use as a tool to help further the program along. I expect to see our fan base continue to grow from statewide support as well as locally from all of the people who are moving to the area.
Coach K has stimulated excitement and fan base growth in this program. He works hard in travelling to Billings, Great Falls, Butte every single week to meet with quarterback club boosters. This will continue to energize the fan base which will justify the larger seating capacity.
And, who knows, maybe we'll find our own Dennis Washington who will donate the money needed to do what we want. I don't say this with malice as I think that was a tremendous thine he did for Griz athletics. But, to look down upon others and their stadium just because yours is the best in the land is elitist.

That is the problem with the Grizzlies, all they do is ASS-UM-E!!is what i was assuming.
It's not like we invited you to join the Bobcat Nation. You took it upon yourself to sign up... If you don't want to hear people talk "smack" about the Griz, then maybe you should go back to EGriz or whatever it is, where anything in Maroon and Silver that bends over is worshipped!!!when it seems that all the discussion going on over here is either directed about bobcat athletics or anti-griz. no exceptions.
