"The Griz" vs. "We" Debate:

I actually like 'em better when it's not fashionable, but then, I'm a contrarian.

I totally agree but for different reasons. For me, it's not about fashionable or being a "contrarian", it's about how cocky and ridiculous some of the fans (the same ones who are throwing temper tantrums now) become when we are dominating. I love a win, especially a GREAT one (ie, Griz v. SDSU Jackrabbits in 2009) and will be heartbroken if we don't beat the Cats this year. But, those whose ego and personal sense of self-worth revolves around the success or failure of this team are absurd. (Disclaimer: a great season is worth all of that absurdity).
Also, what is sunshine without a little rain? How good will the next win feel because of the recent losses? My guess is we will find out this Saturday.
 
Y'all are way too deep for me. I suspect however you fill out the check they (The Griz, Grizzlies, We, The University of Montana, The Evil Empirire or whatever) will cash it.

when did this "we are montana" crap start? did it come in with the engstrom regime? whatever, it is the reason the griz are losing. stop it. reminds me of penn state. yuck.[/ It sounded ok for Marshall, but as far as I am concerned, Montana is a state.
 
I use both, but try to say the Griz as much as possible, but we is 2 less letters and no shift key, so it is easier and quicker.
