Montana State beats Colorado

Did that really just happen? Montana State played at the University of Colorado today in what was predicted to be a regular trouncing by the Buffs. In fact, a Denver newspaper predicted CU would win 73-3. We went in our Bobcat sweatshirts, not expecting much more than a fun day of Big 12 football (we can dream) and keeping pretty quiet and humble knowing the Buff fans can get aggressive. I wasn't really worried though because I knew we really weren't a threat and it was, after all, just an exhibition game. We sat in great seats on the 50 yard line that were available to us because the long-time owners of the seats didn't think this was a game worth watching. So, they play and I'm no football expert by any stretch but it seems to be at least an even game. I'm thinking early on how great it is for my Bobcats to be holding their own. Then it's the half and we're ahead. Then it's the fourth quarter and we're even more ahead. We were sitting in the third row and could easily hear the coaches talking to the Bobcat players. They were asking them, "Can you smell it? Can you smell it?" I guess they could smell it because they won the game and a great big hush fell over the crowd. ESPN reported that the Buffs were "devastated" by the loss. Please note, this posting is in no way anti-Buff. We brought two prospective students with us so they could experience the whole collegiate thing and maybe start thinking in the direction of college, CU being an excellent choice. To add to the joy, it was announced that the University of Montana lost their game today by more than 30 points and I have no problem at all saying Grizzlies Suck.
