…where’s Monte…

And where is Cotton Eye Joe?
No military flyover, no skydivers, no Harley ridin’ Monte
Is this even Montana Football any more?

I mean. A 42-7 blowout, sure, but wTF with “Get Loud banners on the jumbo WHEN WE HAVE THE BALL!

Come on man.

It was the 20th anniversary of 9-11 how may flyovers do you think where requested today. We just came out of a red flag warning which means atmospheric instability so a no go on sky divers. I cannot explain cotton eyed joe ot Monte. Sorry for your football experience loss.
 
It just seemed completely rusty. Timing of various traditions or lack thereof. It will turn around (I hope). Lots to fit in with 9/11, Jesse Sims, obvious staffing issues, and not being around in the fall of 2020. I’m there for the football and not the show, so it was more just a noticeable distraction versus something that affected my experience.

The fans and energy more than made up for the oversights.

The lack of traditional songs like "Cotton Eyed Joe", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and "Sweet Caroline" left the atmosphere a bit flat, but tolerable. "Get Loud" on Griz Vision when our offense was on the field drove me crazy (as does the wave and "Montana Grizzlies" chant when we're on offense. )

Overall though, I refuse to complain too much because it was freaking awesome to be back in the stands and watch our Griz win.
