Viral Video Explains Kicking a Cold Football in Montana

NCAA Football is right around the corner. When it comes to college football, here in Montana there are two flavors. University of Montana Grizzlies, and Montana State University of Montana Bobcats. You either bleed "Maroon and Silver" or you bleed "Blue and Gold". The rivalry in this state runs deep. Houses have been divided over this "game".

A New Tradition in Montana Footballs

This year the University of Montana will be hosting it's first ever "Blackout Game". In over 100 years of playing they have never had this type of game they are going to get as many people as they can to wear black on September 16th vs. Ferris State. The University of Montana is also closing in on a record for season ticket sales for the 2023-2024 season. Montana State University will be hosting their "Gold Rush" game where they are going to try to get everyone to dress in "gold" for their game on September 2nd vs. Utah Tech.

ESPN Game Day Came to Bozeman, Montana

My favorite sign from last year was "Bobby Hauck skis in jeans!".
