That's fair. I just think the do incredible and the coverage of the Cats and the Big Sky is second to none.
I will say that Brooks take that the Griz are the more likely team to blow the other out is wild to me. Absolutely nothing supports that other than "just because".![]()

He was not calling either venue their "nicknames". We both HATE the Mecca of FCS moniker. It's cultural misappropriation at its finest and I"m a live and let live guy. He also was not calling Bobcat Stadium the litter box. He was saying that no one can ever call that again because it's so legit. He was literally praising it as on par with Washington-Griz.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Tue Dec 16, 2025 8:49 pmI think they do incredible.

Neither of us think it will be a blowout. It's an off the cuff question where we are ad libbing to get to an hour-long episode

I think it's because their offense is flashier. They thrive off of explosive plays, and that's just something that we have not done as well at comparatively. Doesn't mean we aren't the better offense, they just visually look better because it's "cooler".ilovethecats wrote: ↑Tue Dec 16, 2025 9:19 pmCodyCat wrote: ↑Tue Dec 16, 2025 9:11 pmEverything Cats and everything has to be positive.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Tue Dec 16, 2025 8:49 pmI think they do incredible.

Agree on the “Mecca”. But griz fans have been calling it the “Mecca” of all of college football since I was in highs school in the 90’s.

Like nearly all things that fanbase over-hypes, if they want it to be known as the Mecca, I have no issue obliging.

I prefer to let them speak their delusions out loud. It's pretty funny when they get an inkling of how much nobody outside of Montana cares.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Tue Dec 16, 2025 9:50 pmAgree on the “Mecca”.

Re: No 3 Montana at No. 2 Montana State - Skyline Sports
Sooo many narratives in regards to this game. Can’t wait to settle it on Saturday. I want nothing more than loud to get torched once or twice for a couple tuddies and for the cats to win by a couple scores as the narrative that their all world corner and the fact that the Griz just all of a sudden started taking the gloves off on offense is getting old. They look good no doubt but my god if it weren’t for the fact that the cats are on a 12 game winning streak and #2 in the nation you would think the Griz are playing against a sub 500 team based on all they hype they are getting

Re: No 3 Montana at No. 2 Montana State - Skyline Sports
The narrative seems to be “how can the gris win?”
This is always the narrative when there’s a distinct underdog. But in this case the narrators are making it sound like it’s easy.
“Oh, we have one player back and that’s going to flip the script.”
“The last game the Bobcats got lucky”
“This time we’ll just use Wortham more”
“Hauck used the regular season as practice for this game.”

The griz narrative hasn't changed, they just had to reset it after reality hit them in the face in Cat-griz. Their fans and the media were just as irrational and overconfident before the first game as they are now.
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

No narrative about how we could’ve blown them out if we had done something different or if the refs didn’t miss the gillman facemask call or if Wortham doesn’t recover his own fumble.

Or if Davis‘s first touchdown gets reviewed. Maybe my eyes aren’t all that good but looks like his right foot is down and he rocks his heel out of bounds. Looks like no touchdown to me.
Water under the bridge for sure. But nobody else has mentioned it. Maybe it’s just my eyes. You have to look hard to find any video looking at it more than once.

Wertham I believe only had four touches on offense. He took a big hit early and had to go out of the game. That’s not been talked about much but came back in later.iaafan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 17, 2025 9:50 amThe narrative seems to be “how can the gris win?”

Re: No 3 Montana at No. 2 Montana State - Skyline Sports
For what it's worth:
"The "heel-toe rule" in college football (CFB) means a receiver must get their entire foot down in bounds for a catch, even if the toe touches in first; if the heel comes down out of bounds in a continuous motion (toe-heel or heel-toe), the pass is incomplete, but a slight pause or dragging the foot can make it a catch. It clarifies that for a catch, the entire foot's contact with the ground must be in bounds, contrasting with the NFL's stricter two-feet-down rule, but college football's rule is often misinterpreted, leading to confusion about one foot vs. the whole foot."
