I wish you would've told me this idea before I booked 25 podcast hits, 7 2-hour radio shows and gave myself 6 writing assigments....BlueAndGoldNation wrote: ↑Tue Dec 16, 2025 12:12 pmI heard Andersen, Hardy, McCutcheon, Okada, and Mellott all heard we are having Cat-Griz 2.0 and they are looking at ways to come back as a little homecoming and exercise their remaining Covid year/medical redshirt/super senior eligibility to get us over the line... You think that would give us an edge in this one?
In all seriousness, I think it would be fun to do an ALL DECADE two deep for both teams, and compare them leading up to this game in order to honor the Super Brawl! Can someone with far greater ball knowledge of the Grizzlies over the years get one of those started? I know you all are super busy, but I think this might even be a good idea for @Colter_Nuanez and @TomCat88 to put out there with Skyline Sports in order to honor the legacy of this game by looking back through the years at the best players who have played it.

Re: Cat-Griz 2.0
Here’s my take… I don’t understand the switch up on the cats by all these analysts. Like it’s been mentioned before, it was just 3 weeks ago we beat them. In Missoula. Now of course, it’s super stressful having to go against a good griz team. But the amount of confidence that’s spewing at EGriz is insane. I’m not sure if it’s a defense mechanism trying to talk themselves into thinking they are better or just stupidity. (Which I wouldn’t put it past them. Especially @HookedOnGriz ) we are the better team in basically every facet. I’m not downplaying the Dakota teams they beat butttt we all know neither one of those 2 are the Dakota teams we have known in the past. Which Griz fans wont come to reality with that.
But, there are 2 thing that concern me. It’s been mentioned here and on podcast how important Brott is to the D-line. And him throwing his helmet in frustration is worrying even though he will work his ass off to play the game but, how healthy is he? And the other players are banged up how much will that affect us?
Also, I am a Minnesota sports fan who has gotten super unlucky with teams and have never felt a championship experience… the only experience of a championship I have felt is the MSU lacrosse team winning nationals. So, I am ready to be hurt again.

Provide even 1 post where I said here or on eGriz that I’m thoroughly convinced the Griz will win this one. You won’t find it as it doesn’t exist. Nice try though.
In fact, the only post I’ve made over here about the game at all is when someone here was asking how getting Loud back makes a difference. I did a breakdown on that. Stop being so damn soft.

It was more a generalization about the stupidity of EGriz and I know you spend more time on here than actual cat fans, so I recognized your name and wanted to rope you into it. You’re delusional if you don’t believe griz fans arnt cockier than they have been. You respond oddly quick on here btw. Constantly Refreshing the rivals page is strange.

I don’t really care on most their bad takes, however, blatant lies about locker room drama and team issues kind of messed up.

Re: Cat-Griz 2.0
If you’ve read anything I’ve said about the Cats v. Griz, you will see I said the Cats are better than the Griz because the Cats beat the Griz. I stand by that. There is another contest coming up on Saturday. The outcome will again determine the best team. I find it amusing that 90% of Cat fans can’t admit it and are leaving room to say “we’re better but we just didn’t play well.” No excuses. If the Cats win, they are still better than the Griz and I will root for them in the chipper. If the Griz win, though, wait for a long line of excuses in here.WalkOn79 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 16, 2025 3:30 pmYeah no S--T!! What are you talking about, OIdGriz.

Re: Cat-Griz 2.0
Marty calls it Griz Cat and probably always has. Most of my old Griz buddies have always called in Cat/Griz. Just sounds right.bobcatfan15 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 15, 2025 9:25 amI feel like it started under Bobby 1.0.

I grew up near Missoula until I went to school at MSU in the early '80's. I never heard the game referred to as griz/cat until some time during the streak (I'd estimate mid-90's). Is that what you and your old fan friends remember?
I've gotten used to griz fans wanting to put their name first on this game (though I do think it's petty and juvenile), but it does bother me when people put false information on a site like Wikipedia. I know I should be used to BS on the internet by now. I'm not going to lose sleep over it but I don't understand why people want to put out revisionist history.
