I have been told that both the feces incident and the peeing are one hundred percent true and I do not have a dog in the fight on either side when it comes to the whole "classless" thing. In fact, yesterday was my 18th Cat-Griz game in person. (I know, not as many as some of you), but, I have been at those games from all angles. As a student at UM in Wash-Griz, as a UM student in the old Cat student section at Reno H Sales, as a season ticket holder in Wash-Griz, as a Griz fan at Bobcat Stadium, and as a reporter on the sidelines in both stadiums, and I have not ONCE, not one single time, in either stadium I've been in, witnessed a fan crossing the line. NOT ONCE. Every time something that gets posted on here or BN about that, it's funny how literally NO ONE ever sees it except one person who posts it anonomously, and never can back it up with any hard proof.
I'll give you an example of how I think these things get so out of hand and become message board myth. The year Jordan Tripp was injured and couldn't play in Cat-Griz in Bozeman, MSU fans claim he flipped off the crowd "all game long" while he was cloaked by a Griz flag. You can look it up, there's an actual thread devoted to it on BN. I was there for that game, on the sidelines, with Jordan for literally every single snap of that game, and I can say, that claim DID NOT HAPPEN. I know that for an absolute fact, and I would swear on my father's grave that it didn't happen. But, ONE guy, or girl, who was mad about the Cats losing that day decided to say it happened and of course, at least on BN, it spread like a brush fire, and at least in the minds of one fan base, is now the stuff of Cat-Griz legend.
Again, I'm not saying fans aren't idiots because they absolutely are. And the Griz fan who threw the poop should be arrested. I've heard it is indeed being investigated. I've seen pretty bad behavior at a Cat-Griz game, but, I have never seen, spitting, throwing fecal matter, throwing punches, cars being keyed, people getting beat over the head with beer bottles, ect.., ect..I've seen some fans swearing, yelling things they shouldn't, burning poor innocent teddy bears, but, not the stuff that gets brought up on here during this week, over and over.
In other words, while I'm not saying NOTHING ever goes down at Cat-Griz games, because from what I've heard, the two things discussed in this thread seem to have occured, but I believe those things happen way more infrequently than either fan base on this board wants to actually admit.
