Haha, jcat or whatever your name is, I have to give Cat fans credit, those shirts are good and funny. I'm actually looking forward to seeing them in the stadium on Saturday in person. But I still like the ones we had made every year through the streak. Simple, a white t-shirt with the number 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, then 6, then 7, well you get the idea. It got to the point, where I started putting the new number on them BEFORE the game was played. When the Cats can win more than an average of two games against the Griz every seven years, and more than 1.5 playoff games per decade, than this will be more than what I call an emotional rivalry. Sure it means everything to the state, to the fans and in the hearts of the players, but seriously dude, this hasn't been much of a rivalry between the lines in a long, long, long time. And unlike what Cat fans think, I'm not living in the acient past. I'm talking about 12 months ago the Griz trucked the Cats for what, the fifth time in SIX seasons. Seriously, even IF the Cats win Saturday, and on paper, they should win, the Griz will have STILL won six of the last nine. THAT'S NOT A RIVALRY. Rivalries are supposed to be close.
Edit: BTW, The Hawks will lose to Butte at Naranche. Bozeman's coach is a good friend of mine, but the Hawks won't beat Butte Friday night.
