Lovely day in Bozeman. Cat fans warming up.

And Cat fans wonder why we refer to them as little bro. They chant this all throughout the year. Living rent free in their heads.

You seem a little bitter. You feeling okay?

He’s just mad they’re not playing Cotton Eye Joe or Enter Sandman.

Trust me, I'm fine. I'm really proud of the product the Griz put on the field every year, regardless if we win it all.

The point is the Cats fans declaring the "era of little bro" is over and yet have to keep trying to point it out is the definition of someone who can't let it go.

MSU is the better team right now, but the fans simply can't move on.

Maybe it's mutual.

For sure, but Griz fans don't bust out into Eat shit Cats, Go Griz Go at games in which we aren't even playing. As soon as they act like they've been there before, the little bro moniker can go.

For example. Had two guys from Montana come out to the main site. I always introduce myself and welcome anyone from Montana. I simply walked up to them, introduced myself, told them what town I was from and said, "Go Griz". They both reflexively went into the ESG GCG chant. I just shook my head.

I'm just busting your chops.

Sobkowicz is on and I plan to mention him as a NFL PROSPECT on sports radio WFAN NY they are talking about the NFL DRAFT and he is a Senior hope he is a 4.4 guy to augment his ability.

I haven’t seen an Illinois state game all year until the UC Davis game and I was very impressed

Also went back and watched the highlights on how they beat North Dakota State and they went right to number two

I will definitely be in front of a TV to watch them vs Montana St on the 5th of January this game will increase his draft status.

An interesting fact, the FCS championship game will be Illinois States 17th game of the season.

They got to the championship game by taking the long and winding road games ,,,,,, but still they lead me back…

They went to Hammond, Louisiana and beat southeastern Louisiana

Next to Fargo Dome where they beat North Dakota State

Headed west to Davis, California, where they defeated UC Davis

To the Philadelphia suburbs where they dominated a pretty good Villanova team

Three of their losses this year were at home and that just isn’t Normal Illinois

Championship game will be against Montana State on January 5Th

WR Promo: Daniel Sobkowicz … he’s good

How well do Montana State fans travel? I'm thinking that Illinois State may have some advantage in crowd support.

Local news in Illinois covered the fan base for the REDBIRDS

Anecdotal accounts (reporters on twitter, etc.) suggest there are way more Bobcat fans down in Nashville for this game than Redbird fans. That could be good for ISU, though, since they're 9-0 on the road this year against FCS opponents.

Looking just now, though, it seems there's been a late surge of ISU fans. Maybe the numbers will be closer between the two fan bases?

Most of me wants to pick a Montana St to win this game, as I think over all they are the better team

But then I remember the Yale game….

It was probably 2/3 to 3/4 Bobcat fans to Bison fans last year in Frisco.

The championship game will be played at theFirstBank Stadium on the campus of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee

Sounds good. I hope it's a good size crowd, no matter the mix. Winning the first NC is a great experience!

ISU has had the ball 4 minutes longer, but they have no points to show for it.
