If you attended the Griz/NDSU game, you saw first hand the awesome camaraderie and mutual love for the game among all of the fans. In the days after the Griz win, people from both Montana and North Dakota were raving about what a positive experience it was for all. Well, except that one dummy who grabbed a Bison player by his face mask.

While in line to enter the stadium, I was surrounded by jovial ladies in yellow and I asked if they were enjoying Missoula. Of course they said yes and I apologized for the smoke. One woman responded, "you all need to STOP apologizing, it's not your fault, Missoulians are too nice!" Maybe so, but I also suspect it had something to do with the fact that the entire city was in a good mood because it was game day.

We weren't the only ones in a good mood, check out what Montana Grizzlies Football Fans posted on their Facebook page.

Here are some very classy responses from NDSU Bison Football Fans over on anygivensaturday.com for Montana's victory last Saturday:

 

“Griz were great and deserved the win. Sitting pu in the corner of the end zone, the crowd was into the game more than most other stadiums -- college or NFL. Montana fans were also great after the game wishing us a safe drive home and praising our team’s efforts.”

 

“Congratulations to the Montana Grizzlies and their fans! One hell of a hard fought win. You guys deserved it, you out played the Bison today. Congrats again!”

 

“What a way to start the College Football Season. Great game to watch, although my team lost. Congrats to the Griz!”
