The eternal little brother

I have a social media friend cat fan. He posted right after our Super brawl loss the videos of the entire stadium doing the Eat sh&t chant. Later he posted a bizarre double picture of Brooks Davis and a gesture and below it Taco doing something wonderful. The claim was Bobcats have class and Griz are not. I questioned his statement's hypocrisy given "eat Sh&t" popularity. What followed was a eat sh&t double and triple down. He posted his very young kids or his sister's in FTG clothing and hats. Weeks after that, leading up to the championship everything was about the Griz. There was no mention of we've got a good team, coach and nothing about Indiana State.

He posted his reasoning by saying "I've had to listen to years of the Griz calling us Little Brother and our stadium the Litter Box.

Then on Christmas day he posted Santa Claus with a FTG hat singing "eat sh&t".

Then of course they are on the field after winning the Natty and what is the chant about, the Griz.

Soon after he messaged me, with "How about them Bobcats, pussy" I replied, "Great game, congrats". Don't get me wrong, I want the Cats to lose every game and never score a point, but the kids on that team deserve what they got. I watched Lamson and Taco's interviews, totally class acts. The fan base though not so much.

They don't understand that they are affirming the "Lil brother" moniker whether they beat us again and again. Totally classless. Rep. Sheehy in his speech just chanted it at their celebration.

I went to my first Cat/Griz in 1955. I remember leaving old Dornblaser Stadium on my older brothers shoulders singing "Poor Bobcats". That for years was the extent of the vocal celebration, that I know of. Not sure when FTC/FTG started. The internet certainly has played its role. I've heard it from the student section, but I've not heard any other Cat mentioning in chants in WaGriz. I personally can say when we've made runs or even won the Natty over the years, I've never once been thinking about the Cats.

I just hope we never stoop to their level. Given the vitriol, I could see it happening.
 
You ARE lil’ bro BECAUSE you do stupid shit like chant ESGGCG at weddings, funerals, HS graduations, church, etc., etc. Living rent free in y’all’s heads 24/7.
Did it ever dawn on you that everytime they do it, just knowing how much it pisses people like yourself off all the more satisfying?..
Every single time they are playing people like you like a puppet..😂😂

This is true in some cases, but not here. The Cats have been doing this for years. They burn a stuffed bear at their tailgates almost every game they play. (Playing Griz or not) They are obsessed with Griz Nation and a majority of them hate us!

I think this stupid chant sticks around because it causes this level of annoyance among fans.
Correct. Sad to admit it works on me and just about all of my Griz friends. I do take pride in the fact that we don't stoop to such garbage, but the fact is, Cat fans are PROUD they are called "classless." It's a badge of honor for them. It's part of their collective fake cowboy persona.
 
Just confirms they are assholes. You should take great pride in that.
Doesn't affect me one way or the other, just amazes me people on both sides that get this bent when one fanbase does stupid shit and refuses to act like grown adults on both sides

If it bugs you this much... two words, GROW UP!!!
 
13-2. No Big Sky title. 13-2. No National Championship.13-2. You'll get nothing and like it. 13-2. Nice try, little girls. You're our bitch, now.
