Sarah and I watched the Cat-Griz football game today courtesy of my alumni association and On Deck sports bar. For those non-Montanans, it's the Montana State - University of Montana rivalry game.
(Let there be no doubt about my affiliation)
This was the 108th edition of "Brawl of the Wild". And well, we got mauled. Ouch. End zone? Where's that? Turnovers galore. Yeah we really sucked it up. BUT we will return to put the Griz in their place next year. In tribute to the 70s, the Griz they were sporting lovely new burnt-orange uniforms. I think the shag carpet in my house growing up was about that color. Also reminiscent of a round orange-and-yellow hanging lamp we had in the living room.
Nice fashion statement
And no, it's not and never will be called the "Griz-Cat" game. That just sounds silly. Luckily we had red beer at the bar to drown our sorrows: tomato juice in beer. Apparently a Montana thing. Light beer and a vegetable juice- come on, that's health food!! Also 2 red beers and a BLT is not bad fuel for a swim workout either, as it turns out.
