I have given Missoula a bad rep over the years...

[jegbomb52]

First let me explain that the 3 hours I spent inside Washington Grizzly Stadium 10 years ago sometimes still gives me nightmares...I will never get over that cold December 18th day in 2001.

However, I am so happy I made the trip out here. As I woke up this morning in a bed next to Traveling Panther in the team hotel, I realized how great of a time I had last night and how truly hospitable everyone out here is. From workers to just people you meet at a restaurant. I don't know if I paid for a meal, drink, shot, anything yesterday. Every bar / restaurant we walked into people wanted to talk about the game, how we were going to do, many just wanted to talk x's and o's. It was great. Everything out here is Griz, after this trip, I will no longer bash Montana (I know they will be un-ruly tonight again for 3 hours) because I don't want to hate on them anymore...


I want to be them, they have the most loyal, enthusiastic fan base in all of FCS football, and they are one of the tops in the country.

Good luck today Cats!!

Go Panther!

Welcome to MSO, hub of Griz Nation. Let's make sure we buy this guy ... and his QB, maybe a few of his linebacker corps ... a drink today.

Glad you're having a good time! Missoula truly is a special place, even if a few UNI fans want to characterize it as an inbred backwater.

Great to have you in our fair city, and I'm thrilled to hear about the good hospitality you received in MSO. That place is the tops.

Extra excited that we're getting prime-time placement tonight against a good team. Hopefully it will be another step towards waking the world to the supremacy of a college football playoff.

Wow Jeg, you really could have worded that better. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Never been there, but one good thing Missoula has going for it is Big Sky Brewery. Very solid lineup of micro brews. Not world beaters by any means, but nice lineup nonetheless. This time of year calls for a Powder Hound or a Slow Elk. Enjoyed a Slow Elk last night here in DSM!!

Big Sky is good, but honestly the best beer in Missoula comes from Bayern Brewing and Tamarack.

Whenever I return, I always say that I go to Big Sky for gear and Bayern for beer.
