Played after games, in church (so I"m told), and in all elevators in Bozeman with no lyrics. Piped into daycares, played by grade school bands all across town. It's a catchy tune!

You do realize Bobby started all of the loathing during the streak? Man, such thin skin over here. Sticks and stones boys, sticks and stones. I was curious to see if other fan bases sang songs about rival teams:

Yes, Alabama fans have a popular tradition of singing modified, rivalry-specific lyrics to the song "
Dixieland Delight" during games, specifically targeting Auburn (the "Tigers") and sometimes other rivals like LSU and Tennessee, with lyrics like "Beat Auburn" or adding the rivals' names in place of some original words, though it's also been temporarily banned due to the original song's mature content.
Key Details:
  • The Song: "Dixieland Delight" by the band Alabama.
  • The Tradition: Fans adapt the lyrics during the chorus, inserting rival-specific boasts or taunts.
  • Auburn-Specific Lyrics: Fans often sing things like "Beat Auburn" or "Hold her uptight, make a little lovin' all night, a little turtle dovin' on a Mason-Dixon night (BEAT AUBURN!), fits my life (AND LSU!), oh so right (AND TENNESSEE, TOO!), my Dixieland Delight".
  • Controversy & Return: The song was temporarily removed from stadium playlists due to fan-added expletives, but it has returned, with fans still often reverting to the raunchier, rivalry-focused lyrics.
This certainly isn't just a Cat thing. It's fun guys & Cat fans have bought in to owning the State, beating the Griz, winning the BSC and the natty after all of that. One goal left for tomorrow night.

Well ya a lot of teams have rivalry songs. They sing them during rivalry games and rivalry week. They insert the team in the lyrics. In this case your argument would be you also chant eat shit Bison or eat shit Eagles or whoever you are playing that week. Like the Jacks fan at the tail gate said. “It is cringe af that cat fans do that when not playing the team they are talking about”. Its weird but hey whatever floats your boat.

They put in the name of the team they are playing. Not the name of the Griz who they aren’t playing, or haven’t played, or just played, or haven’t played for over 300 days while at the local rock concert. Pretty huge difference there Bub

Wrong again.. chorus part of dixie land delight they sing about a) the team their currently playing.

B) followed up by two other random teams.. you just don't get it.. do you?

I'm an MSU alumnus and all in favor of supporting our team all the way to winning the championship, but I can completely understand why Griz fans have grown weary of and hostile to the chant. I and many of the Cat fans I personally know do not think "it's fun." Not sure if anything can be done about it, but it's one aspect of the MSU side of the rivalry that doesn't inspire pride. (Incidentally, "this certainly isn't just a Cat thing" is an ad populum argument: numbers don't make it right.)

Go ahead and and rip me apart now.

Oh yeah, I can see your point now. Completely legitimizes Griz fans not rooting for MT scholarship kids who have zero to do with it. We have a new term here, Griz Logic. 'Those fans swore and made fun of us so we're going to hate that university & the fans & Bozeman & the coaches and everything associated with them!" The vagisil's in isle 11 near the clean up spot Hooked.

The esg thing is just so damn bizarre. It doesn't bother me because of that they say, but it sure as hell offends my good taste and common sense.

And the pride they seem to show in it. Just....bizarre

I think you just hit the nail on the head. It's like they're a little kid who just learned their first swear word and they're so darn happy to say it over and over with a big old grin on their face like they just solved world hunger or something. I've never seen another fan base so proud of saying something so stupid over and over.

I have visited with a few cat fans and alumni that are secretly disgusted and embarrassed by esg gcg.
As a lifetime Montanan, it embarrasses me every time I hear especially on national television.

Here’s some Griz Logic for you. If your fans refer to UM as rape University, post pics of the krackauer book cover on social, constantly denigrate the value of UM degrees and actively hope the University of Montana fails as an academic institution, you’ve crossed the line of fun or spirited rivalry. And that is why I’ll never root for your school, regardless of the Montana kids on the roster.
 
I don't get why they don't use other team names in the Mony Mony chant. Most team names are two syllables. Redbirds replaces Grizzlies quite nicely, and would be appropriate. Could be a nice little tradition at home games. Rabbits, Bison, Weber, Hornets, Mustangs, Dixie, Yalies, Portland, Aggies, Eagles, etc. I think even the most smooth brained cats fans could find a way to make it work for every team them play. Am I overthinking this?

vgm, you're a reasonable poster. You know daaaaammmmmnnnnn well no cat fan rooted for the GRIZ in any of their many national championship appearances. To suggest GRIZ fans should root for their rival is not only ridiculous but insane.

I just saw a post on Instagram that said the cats have 26 underclassmen on their two deep...and only 6 seniors. I double checked and it is true. They are young and loaded for a long run of success. They have built a juggernaut over there. Better get used to watching MSU in the natty every year and hearing about it from their fans.

Portal. NIL. Coaching changes. Injuries. There are no guarantees in college football. They may seem loaded, until they aren’t.

Nailed it. Every single time the Griz played in the natty, none of my Cat fans rooted for them. None! Not one and I don’t blame them. Foolish to think Griz fans are rooting for MSU.
