The Bobcat Nation

I went down to Los Algadones , Mexico for the day. This is a small town south of Yuma, AZ that is noted for hundreds of dentists. We just went for cheap haircuts and shopping for Mexican junk. There is one bigger restaurant that is a big courtyard. If you go there for food and Margaritas you are inundated with Mexican merchants selling all kinds of stuff. One guy comes by selling Serapes featuring US NFL teams. I say I'm not interested, I only root for college football. He then asks what team and I proudly state there is really only one team worth rooting for the Montana State Bobcats and there is no way he has stuff for this team. To my shock, he comes back with a Bobcat serape about 45 minutes later. I really didn't want to buy any more Cat gear as I have closets full at home. Needless to say I will now put on my best Clint Eastwood impression at the next game in Bozeman.

Man, I’d take one in a heartbeat too.

Ha ha ha!! You’ll be easy to spot in the crowd, great story!

I travel a fair amount for work and find myself in a lot of different airports coast to coast. I’m nearly always surprised how often I see Montana State gear, coaches, or players in various airports. It’s frequent enough that I nearly always fly with a Montana State hoody or jacket on these days just for the handshakes and conversations that come up because of it.

I just whistled theme song from “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” for you.

You missed a great opportunity to buy a bunch of those and sell them outside the stadium.

Who says he didn’t?

It’s surprising how much Cat/gris gear there is in Algadones , we stock up with prizes for the Dillon Cat/gris golf tournament.

Don't quote me on this but I believe the right name is " Algodones" which translated into english means Cotton...
