Cat-Griz

The big football game of the season was played today. Well, the big football game in Montana, anyway. Today was the 104th meeting between the University of Montana Grizzlies and the Montana State-Bozeman Bobcats. Though not the oldest rivalry in college football, it is the oldest uninterrupted rivalry in college football.

The game was being played in Missoula this year, so a few friends got together to watch the game on TV. It was pretty fun, except for the game. The Griz really controlled the whole game and the 'Cats didn't play well at all. The final score was UM 38, MSU 22. It was much more fun eating all of the food Emily had made for us and the few other things people had brought. (oh no! here I go talking about food again!) We had veggies and dip, french fries and some fry sauce that Emily whipped up since we didn't have enough ketchup, pizza, crackers, wine, and hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps. Quite a smorgasbord.

For most of the second half we turned the sound to mute on the TV and then turned the radio broadcast on. It was way better that way. The TV crew was biased a little towards the Griz and the radio crew was a Bozeman crew, so we enjoyed them more.
