Not A “Brawl” - It’s the Griz-Cat Game

[griz71]

Personally, I LOVE "Brawl of The Wild"........ IMHO it is more unique and "Montanaish" than any other rivalry game name I have ever heard, anywhere.

Spot on stillwater! :clap: :thumb:

I really like the "Brawl of the Wild" rivalry name. A lot of big rivalries have unique names that people know of.

Apple Cup (Washington vs Washington State)
Brawl of the Wild (Montana vs Montana State)
Civil War (Oregon vs Oregon State)
Holy War (BYU vs Utah)
Iron Bowl (Alabama vs Auburn)
Red River Shootout (Texas vs Oklahoma State)

One of my favorites is Bedlam (Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State)

This may sound petty, but the “Brawl of the Wild” moniker was made up by the lousy Lee Newspapers (to my recollection) and then Town Pump piled on. Then it took off. I find this name annoying.

Growing up, it was Cat-Griz. The Bozeman Daily Comical got it right today. But perhaps it should be Griz-Cat instead. I would even prefer the short-lived “Montana Power Classic” over calling it the “Brawl of the Wild” because I hate the crummy Lee Newspapers.

With this pettiness off my chest, FTC. Looking forward to victory in Griz-Cat game.

I agree. It's like Hallmark Greeting Cards' "administrative professionals' day." Totally contrived.

for gawd sake, it's cat-griz.... Always has been.

It should be called The Great Divide Game.

lose the game part and you have a classic

Griz Cat sounds so Nathan Lane. Now Chuck Norris would go Cat GRIZZZZZ. And then kick their asses.

Sorry Grizcat makes no sense. You simply cannot emphasize Griz.

TCC,
Aren't you the guy saying that Coach Stitt walks away from UM after the season? If that is a fait accompli, why are you even engaging in the Stitt bashing?

 

[smarsh]

what this dude said.

 

[Allezchat]

Definitely not “Montana Power Classic”

There are many reasons to hate the Montana Power Company, so I’ll withdraw that suggestion.

Griz-Cat game.

FTC.

Maybe if it was the Touch America Trophy?

 

[Diesel]

Was cat/Griz game growing up. That is the way it was...and we liked it...couldn't get enough of it. The rest is new fangled garbage. And "We are Montana"...garbage...it's "We are Marshall"...kids these days will accept garbage because they don't know any better!!!

Yes that was me , and I can bash all I want .
Plus when was it ever ok to normalize the Griz/Cat game . Must be ok now that everyone has settled foe mediocrity.

Didn't sound like a normal game when Coach Stitt talked about it here. http://www.egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=78219#p1266638

Said they have been talking to the team about this since January.


I understand you have the right to bash but if you know the guy is gone in the next month, why would you bash the guy? I can't get my head around that.

 

[AllWeatherFan]

Weird. I've never read one post where a Griz fan said, "I'm fine with a mediocre team."

You're right, I'm sorry. Schye, Sims, Buss, Strahm, Simis, Jensen-all a bunch of pussies who are just going to roll over and play dead for the cats because of that damn limp-wristed Stitt. Thank you for helping me see the light.
