The last time the Cubs won the World Series...

[Bob333]

There were some great stories about Cub fans on sports radio today. They deserve this. One of the best ones was a guy saying how he and his Dad have been diehard Cub fans together since he was a small child. They made a pact, that what ever the circumstance, if the Cubs had the chance to win the world series, they would get together and listen to the game on the radio. His Dad died in 1998. He spent last night sitting by his grave with a portable radio.

This guy drove over night from North Carolina to Indiana to be able to do this... makes the story even better

...the Griz and Cats played to a 0-0 tie in Missoula.

And the cats called it a national championship.

Picked by the preseason telegraph press to win it all that year, Montana State Agricultural won a nailbiter over Miles City High School but then got knocked out of national rankings by the Butte Sheep Shearer's Union club. Bobcat star recruit Hallas "Highpockets" McLintock got sepsis from drinking water from a stagnant pond near the campus and left school. Their projected breakout year never materialized but the '09 season was locally projected to be a "changing of the guard" according to national sports columnist Mark Twain.

Ol' Highpockets. He was a great one. I remember that juke he put on the corner from the Helena Last Chancers. Of course, his famous touchdown dance, later dubbed "Pocket Pool" by writer Rance "Just One More Rye" Whitaker of the Helena IR, cost Bozeman Tech that game when the resulting 15 yard penalty gave the Chancers great field position leading to their 8-6 victory.

Of note, the stagnant pond still exists today. Coach Ron Chote is said to have seen visions of ol' High Pockets mouthing the words "0 and 8", 0 and 8" repeatedly at him nearby. Scientists, however, believe the images were nothing more than large floating turd logs.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Nice work men! Those were truly the "Golden Years" for State. Other than a couple of competitive seasons in the NAIA, it's been a truly dormant century for the Aggies. Are the cats the new Cubs?
