Love the idea! Hopefully the epilogue is a quick recap of the Beatdown in Bozeman the following year!

It would be great if this spurred the Nuanez brothers to create a Cat-griz documentary. I assume Colter has access to everyone on both sides going back generations. He might be one of the few people that can say that.

This is a great idea, just pledged some money towards it.
Hope it happens!

I'm in.

Done!

It's now just over $1,000 from being fully funded. That was quick! Sounds like a great project.

Just jumped on to the kickstarter. I am happy to support MSU Film students. My daughter graduated from the MSU Film & Photography School and moved off to LA. She is currently working on a TV series based on the SNL/movie MacGruber, a parody on MacGyver. It is getting close to release on Peacock network.

Only about $500 to go. All this money raised in about 24hrs. Bobcat Nation rocks! This documentary is also making some griz fans mad, so double win.

It is going to be an incredible documentary!

What was the issue, did the filmmakers decline interview requests from Griz fans to whine some more about the time out Choate called before the final play?

The comments from griz fans about it on social media have been comedy gold. They think its weird that "little brother" needs to a make a documentary about the "one time" they upset the great and powerful griz.

Sour grapes.

That game was an all-time classic even before that final play. Obviously we love the outcome more than anything. But the way that game went back and forth, the griz jumping out to a huge lead to start, huge hits, costly turnovers, amazing punts, etc.....had they punched it in at the end instead of fumbling, it still would have been one of the greatest battles in recent memory.

You know that ‘18 game was a lot of fun and was significant, but I would argue the ‘19 beat down in Bozeman game hurt the griz even more. The griz were ranked #3 in the nation when they came to Bozeman in ‘19 and were poised to take the Big Sky title and have two home playoff games. That loss in ‘19 kept the griz from winning the Big Sky title and made them play in the snowstorm at Weber, where they lost.

Oh I agree. That game for a Cat fan was incredible. And gave us a little bit of revenge for when we were #1 and they came in and handed us our asses.

Probably first time ever I have seen a Hauck coached griz squad just give up. It was an amazing time to be a Cat fan and only got better after the final whistle blew!

I was in that south end zone just a few rows up from where the fumble happened. I knew there was basically zero chance the Cats would win once the griz got down near the goal line. I'd had some friendly interactions with some griz fans behind us throughout the game, and I remember just saying "well at least this has just been a great game". Even with a loss there I would've been OK given the comeback and competitiveness of the game. But once we recovered that fumble, man...

And I think this is more than just one win in the rivalry. I think winning that one was a bigger deal than that. MSU under Choate had won two straight but Hauck was brought in to right the ship. At that point of that season things were looking pretty even and could have really swung in um's favor in terms of general momentum of programs. With that win, MSU goes into the next (2019) Cat/griz game with a different kind of swagger and it showed. 2019 was a huge loss for um, but I think 2018 set it up. I'd agree that just one close win wouldn't be worthy of a documentary, but I think um was one play from stealing the momentum back and MSU took that chance away from them.

Somebody go give $159 and the goal is met!

I think this nails it. That game was already an instant classic, at the point of the stuff it was just a matter of it was going to be a happy classic for Griz fans or Cat fans. Thankful to be on the right side of that one, and as someone else said I have always kind of felt karma finally repaid for suffering through the 97 defeat.

But yeah, I think in addition to just deciding which side got to celebrate a classic game it was the potential hinge point on the trajectories for the programs and all involved. From the trailer and the description I feel like this is a part of what they saw and wanted to explore in this documentary a bit more and couldn't be more excited to see this.
