Well in typical fashion this thread is sliding sideways...
I 'understand' how some Griz and Bobcat players (past & present) hate each other. Though I never understood how fans of the programs could "hate" their opponent or their fans. Want that other team to fail? Hell yeah I get it if you do. Pull for the buffaloes if you want, or enjoy the fact Weber just beat the Grizzlies.
Still the seeming levels of hate some have on here, and over on Bobcat nation, is beyond comprehension. Reading the hatred over there makes me seriously question the mental health of several of those tools (and a few here too). I realize most of it is internet bravado but some seem genuinely unbalanced.
Bobcat fans, "E.S.G. Go cats Go" is an adolescent thing, ala naughty junior high boys giggling as they say curse words. None the less, this adolescent cheer is the most recognizable theme of Montana State University. Think about that Cat fans! It is pathetic. "ESG Go cats Go" is by far your University's most recognizable theme.
For decades you've heard it at EVERY Bobcat game. As noted above, reach Semi-finals for first time in 2 generations and who are you fixated on, the Grizzlies. Hell, I heard it at a wedding this summer ("Honey, you remember when I said 'I do'. You were beautiful, I looked in your eyes and then we sang eat shit Grizzlies?"). Good memories there!
It is laughable and it is the little brother syndrome. Yes the Cats pummeled the Griz this year, and won 4 years straight. Take pride in that! Play Mony Mony non-stop during Cat-Griz game if you want! Still playing it during other games? Admit it is an obsession and a demonstration of someone who feels they are lacking. Sing it proudly if you want. Though if you're older than 15 and still think it's cute you should probably seek mental health counseling to learn why you're feeling so inadequate.
So to all pre-pubescent ESG Cat fans... grow up, or get help.
To all you overly angry Cat and Griz fans... lighten up (or sober up?).
To the Weber State Wildcats... Good luck, go kick JMU's arse.
To the Montana State Bobcats... Good luck, send the BIZZZON fans into tears.
To the University of Montana Grizzlies... Thank you for great memories and a fun year.
God bless us one and all, and to all a Merry Christmas! Go Griz! :ugeek:
