Kind of pathetic that a team going to Frisco can't afford to give a little money to their band and instead has to come begging to their rival for donations.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

Not really that cool. $3,000 that should be going into our NIL funds for our own kids.

Exactly! The griz can fend for themselves as far as I'm concerned.
Try a bake sale.

I'm assuming this is coming out of the either the University's budget or through the MSU Foundation. Not the athletic department. Either way, we can write it off on MSU taxes as a donation to the needy...

The university can’t contribute to NIL funds.

This is a class act by an excellent university. The MSU announcement says MSU is proud to contribute. I don’t think the butt hurt guys who posted negative, inaccurate comments above are representative of Bobcat Nation.

They didn’t beg their rival, and their rival didn’t have to donate.

Great thoughts and one would hope it's representative of what Montana used to be...

Would like to see the Spirit of the West and the MSU Rodeo Team also cheer on one of the six MUS schools in Tex ass but...

Bobcat athletics is a business to the coaches, school leadership, and players. It's time the fans treat Bobcat athletics as a business too.

It is a classy excellent thing for a proud MSU to do. After pointing that out you could've shown class and excellence by making a point of writing "Thank you" and let it be at that. Instead your head and thoughts were so focused on making a far less important point that you forgot to do the greater thing. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it shows your lack of training rather than tell you the other things it shows about you.


If you're looking for someone with a little authority, I'm your man. I have as little as anyone!

Let me start by saying that I DESPISE uofm. I lived in Missoula for 30 years. King George and Queen Jane Dennison, Along with my boss, Dennis
Washington fueled my hatred of not just the grisslies but the uofm.
Now back on topic. What MSU did here is a splendid move. Mind you that Uofm "sold" the seats where the MSU band was to sit during Cat-gris. Yes, I know that was a "mutual" agreement. Again, MSU helping uofm out. All be it at the expense of MSU student experience. So 300 seats at 90 bucks a ticket ..27,000 dollars. About what it would take for motel expense for the band in Frisco. Granted I know that money isn't part of that budget, however..
I wonder if Robbie donates, does he get credit for tackles/per/100dollars or something?

Come on people. Just get over yourselves for a second and realize what a great gesture this is by MSU to help out some kids in the UM band have a great experience. Good on you MSU and President Cruzado.

Good for us, MSU. Didn’t NDSU donate for our band a couple years back? I could be mistaken… But I think I recall that happening.?

Either way, good for the band! UM screwed their band over this year to benefit the football team and help their budget.
