The eternal little brother

We need to retire Mony Mony other than actual Cat gris events that the Cats win. It's increasingly embarrassing. I'm hoping the Natty can be a spark to finally end it. I was really tired of hearing it nearly nonstop in Nashville and I'm completely burned out on it in general.

A UM tennis player who was from Germany i believe wrote Griz in the snow on the tennis courts at UM but accidentally made his Z backwards.

That's how that started??

Huh.

And honestly, if he was taking a pic to put up on the gram for his friends back home, using an "s" makes sense. The "Z" sound in the German language is more of a "tss" sound. As in "cats"

But honestly, that's what they've been ribbing us with for 15 years??

Charles R. Swindoll once said... "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." CAT fans are just having some harmless fun. When the Griz win, there's always countless posts about the "Trail of Tears" and more. It's a part of the game and rivalry that goes back over 100 years. The more you show that it bothers you, the more you will hear it. Only you can choose how you will react.

If you can’t tell the difference between a harmless post online about a “trail of tears”, and chanting about fellow Montanans, including Montana players, eating shit, in mass unison everywhere you go then I think you may have mental problems.

You are the second catfan to tell me this recently. Not sure how old you are but the other fan told me “maybe I’m just old but I’m tired of it all the time, save it for Brawl week”

There's like 4 programs left in FCS that truly care and try every year, and 3 of them have a championship in recent memory. And two of them will be the odds-on favorites every every year going forward.

Making it to the second round or further (because there's so few programs standing in our way), while also losing every home game to the Cats and every away game to them by 20+ are all things that can consistently happen.

Sure, could happen. Next season the Griz could take it all too. Fucking Chicken Littles everywhere lately

I don't participate in the ESG part, only the Go Cats Go. I'd prefer that the ESG part was dropped or replaced. From the conversations I've had with fellow Bobcats, I'm in the minority.

However, the ESG part wasn't supposed to be interpreted literally. I can see why that would leave a bad taste in your mouth. (Pun intended) The ESG part was based on the fact that bears eat feces, which, on the surface, seems like a dumb thing to do. So, it's poking fun that your mascot and by extension its followers are dumb.

It started as a barroom call and response. The chant became a battle cry to juice the crowd and rally the troops. After it made its way into Mony Mony (to replace other inappropriate words), it grew more legs. Now, some chant it during the fight song. It's chanted more out of habit than with intent to specifically disparage Montanans, Griz players, etc., especially when it's done at (so I'm told) weddings, funerals, bar mitzvas, etc. At this point, I don't see how you put the toothpaste back in the tube.

I found it interesting that both the NCAA and BSC seemed to promote it.

Im like 90% certain but until someone else backs up the story, I'll begin to doubt my memory more and more. Im pretty positive though that the Kaiman had a pic of it and thats where it came from.

I have a Cat buddy that agrees with you. He was like “do it during Brawl week and have something else for other games”

What would they do with the rest of their time? Brush their tooth, wash the spit stains off the truck door, pump kin, drink and drive, protect the field from the rodeo team grazing it too much?

You got it. Perseverating on this is childish. Allowing it to get to you is childish. They're teasing you. You claim to be the adult in the equation. You have the fully formed and functioning frontal lobe. Use it.
