Montana State Bobcats

Check out that t-shirt of the Grebe boys roping and riding a bison as the Melstone Cowboys and the Montana State Bobcats saddle up for the national championship in Frisco, Texas.

This Saturday, Butte's "Touchdown" Tommy Mellott will lead the MSU Bobcats into Bobcat Stadium for the final time and, as expected, it is deep in the FCS Playoffs. Very deep. If the Bobcats beat South Dakota. Montana State will return to the National Championship game, a place they have been to before. In fact, had it not been for an injury to Mellott early in their last championship appearance many (including myself) believe the Bobcats would have won the game. But that is not the point. The point is that Mellott has brought the Bobcats back.

At the very end of our statewide radio show on Monday, I shared some incredible stats for Butte, Montana's own Tommy Mellott. The Montana State Bobcat quarterback was highlighted in a great writeup at Outkick.com

Imagine holding THE record in track and field, and then celebrating when someone else breaks YOUR record? Some might find that very hard to do. It wasn't hard for former MSU Bobcat track & field great Erin Graf. Check out her response.

This may be the year that the Bobcats do what we thought they might have done last year- make it all the way to the national championship, and maybe even pull it off.

Butte has always had a special relationship with the annual Cat/Griz Football Game. Geographically, we're right between the two universities and in addition to sending several players to both teams' rosters, Butte even hosted the big game from 1926 to 1951. Couldn't get tickets and are going to be watching the game here in town? Here are a few places worth checking out.

Montana State University is close to reaching its fundraising goal for a new indoor practice facility, benefitting student-athletes and the local community.

Cat-Griz Baby! We have a big Cat-Griz matchup taking place in Boise, Idaho Wednesday night- and the winner earns a spot in the NCAA tournament...March...you know what.

Heartbreak in Bozeman, while the hens got roasted in Missoula. That was definitely a heartbreaker for Bobcat fans at Montana State University in Bozeman- and for those of us who were rooting for another Cat Griz game in Missoula right before Christmas.
