Not a new thing .... these feelings transcend the boundaries of MT.
Bobcats and Grizzlies are both MONTANA critters. There are lots of Montana kids on the Bobcats. How can a true Montanan say that they HATE Montana kids no matter who they play for. I am a native Montanan who grew up in Bobcat territory in Central Montana but at an early age I chose to be a Griz. I WILL ROOT FOR THE CATS AND HOPE THEY WIN THE NC game. They are from my home state. EWU, CalPoly, App St, et all AREN'T... I will keep my allegiance here in Montana. :clap: :clap: :clap: GO CATS....
And, are you saying we should root for, say, the Stanford women, because a Montana woman plays for them? That's what I hear with your argument that you root for the Cats because there are Montanans on the team. I would root for the Griz if there weren't a single Montana kid on the team; in fact, that's pretty close to being the case for the BB team. You can root for whoever you want; I don't care; it's your business. Just don't tell me who I have to root for.
Well said!
