Is the Tailgater Golden Ale beer still available around Bozeman? If not, does anyone know if it will be available this Fall?

Maybe this is already in the media guide but I'm wondering what families have had the most Cat football players?

A photo with Brott and Eiden IV in it got me thinking about this. I think the Brott brothers have to be among the most in terms of brothers with three. Eiden IV and Eiden III are one set of a lot of father-son combos. The Bignell's have to be among the most from one family with five, including Joe, his nephews Brian and Clay, and sons Nate and Mac. I seem to recall another son was here for a while. ???

What are some others? And if you know their accomplishments include that also. See if we can compile a list.
Perkins brothers are pretty recent and their Dad played at MSU. Dowler brothers. O'Reilly brothers.
Bobby and Brad Daly. Didn’t their dad or grandfather play as well?

Jay is one of the greatest guards in MSU history.

The Verlanic bros from Drummond. Not sure if their dad played...didn't they also have a brother that played at UM?

No. It was only a fall thing. I have not heard of they'll do it again this fall.

One of the few times the Cats post photos of their championship rings. I like the color.

I believe the ring belongs to Marki Sharkey, a recruiting and operations intern for MSU football.
