if that is all the magnificence his hair can manage, well.... geezus. gawd. things are bleak: the team has a sparsely haired leader who insists on pretending to be samson. the griz are fucked. marooned on few follicles.

wagon-man should at least get a mullet weave, for gawd's sake. otherwise. well. geez. gawd.

The school colors have always been Copper/Gold.

The 'spirit' colors changed to Maroon/Silver in 1996.
I've seen this printed this way (showing both) in different publications.
Not sure why it was omitted this time.

Then your head is the wrong color!

A GGG sighting! I thought the colors were copper, silver, and gold as a tip of the hat to the mining industry in the state.

Maroon represents copper.
Probably still won't make sense to some of you.

So does vodka..........

The colors were changed BACK to Maroon and Silver in '96 after the run with burnt orange and babysh!t yellow. The official school colors, as previously pointed out are copper, SILVER and gold.

Jack Swarthout, a former Griz and a '42 UM alum, was not from Texas, but was once a Daryl Royal assistant when he brought both his wishbone and his burnt orange to Montana. He also changed Montana football fortunes for the better and certainly wasn't a "c...s....r."

Customer Service Rep?

What the hell does that have to do with football?

Daryl K. Royal changed the original colors to maroon and silver after the 1944 season. After a weird night in Phnom Penh in 1959, Reno Sales successfully lobbied the Board of Regents to change UM's colors to copper and gold. In 1996, however, the Missoula barkeeps finally showed their power by threatening to withdraw athletic support until the administration changed the colors back to the Daryl K. Royal colors. With Reno Sales no longer a factor, the BOR approved the administration's proposal. The barkeep gang, known locally as the "Front Street Pour Boyz," also made damn certain that everyone would refer to maroon and silver as the "original" colors, thus fooling many generations to come. Due to all the captains of industry trying for decades to influence Main Hall, not many know that UM's original colors were matte black and chrome.

Hmm, I'm not familiar with the addition of pink. Then again, I'm not familiar with much that occurred before the Edwin B. Craig era. His termination was the original UM witchhunt. I've always suspected it was the first act of the original chapter of the Front Street Pour Boyz. I'm pretty sure Missoulian reporter Scoops Callahan also played a big role in Craig's downfall.

I had a lot of downfalls my freshman year in craig hall. Come to think of it, the Front Street Pour Boyz played a big part in my downfalls.

Atwork, you are one of many. They are a vicious gang with nearly unlimited power to steer the vessel of UM athletics to their favorite ports o' call.

If memory serves me right, weren't the Poor Boyz eventually linked as the masterminds behind the Teapot Dome Scandal?

That is a common theory. After they took down Craig, the Pour Boyz probably thought they were invincible. I remember speaking with Tommy J. Walsh at a GSA pancake brunch around that time (1924-ish), and he couldn't shut up about no interest loans and the fact that some Doheny guy had a barkeep's license from the State of Montana. He also was tweeting some very cryptic things about a "Fall Guy" around that time.

Ol' Tommy "Two Times" Walsh. There is a picture of him jet skiing with Al Capone and Fatty Arbuckle on Swan Lake in the Mansfield Center. Picture must be from '26 or '27. People forget about Tommy and the influence the Montana Black Hand actually had. People also forget that Tommy was a hell of a web designer.

Ha! The ladies called him Tommy "Two Times Too Many" Walsh. I've actually seen the picture you reference. Rumor is that ol' Scarface caught the syph from a flapper girl in a Charlo gin joint. He had several Facebook check-ins there in '27. I commend you for being a true patriot and UM athletic history enthusiast. There aren't many of us left.
