Cats-Griz ‘07

November 17, 2007 | 3 Comments

Today is the day – the annual football classic between the Montana State University “Bobcats” and the University of Montana “Grizzlies.” Check out what Sports Illustrated had to say about the matchup:

This week’s law enforcement roundup takes us to Missoula, Mont., home of the 10-0 Montana Grizzlies. Heading into their rivalry game with Montana State, it seems that only the law can stop this team. In a season that has already seen Grizzlies players accused of assault by beer bottle, pointing a gun at a woman’s head and, oh yeah, murder, three more football players are facing burglary and kidnapping charges after a house break-in last week. The Grizzlies may not play in the Bowl subdivision, but murder and kidnapping are big time. No I-A program can boast a rap sheet like that this season. Not even Texas or Florida.
Pick: Montana by 20 to life

Ouch. Well, to lighten the mood, you can always check out a repository of Griz jokes – at the expense of the Cats, natch. And if you’re a Cats fan, just replace “Cats” with “Griz” in each joke. Here’s a sample (but I switched teams on some of them!):

What does the average UM player get on his SAT’s?
Drool

What do you get when you put 32 MSU cheerleaders in one room?
A full set of teeth

How do you get a UM cheerleader into your dorm room?
Grease her hips and push like hell

How do you get A MSU football player off you porch?
Pay him for the pizza

Why do the UM cheerleaders wear bibs?
To keep the tobacco juice off their uniforms

Why do they no longer serve ice at MSU football games?
The senior who knew the recipe graduated

Why is the UM football team like a possum?
Because they play dead at home, and get killed on the road

What are the longest three years of an MSU football player’s life?
His freshman year

How many UM freshman does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, that’s a sophomore course at UM

Any predictions on the winner of the game – or the score?

    I have no predictions; however, I have to inform you that it’s not the “Cat-Griz” game, it’s the “Griz-Cat” game. (Not that I’m biased or anything.)

    Here’s my favorite joke of the moment:

    Q. A Griz and a Bobcat are in a car. Who’s driving?
    A. The police officer.

    Ouch…you’re right, Patia – that joke hurts ‘cuz it’s true!

    Well…there was the backup punter at Colorado State who just went on trial for stabbing the starter. But that’s the only charge I know of at CSU.
