we are so fortunate to live in Montana. Really. i couldn't wait to get the heck out of here, especially my hometown...where i'm back living...perfect place to raise the brood...centrally located for travel...ski mountain a mere hour away...blah, blah, blah...but i digress because i was really going to talk about how part of being that fortunate to live here includes going over to Missoula for all of the Grizzly hometown Football games in the Fall! When we moved back to the hometown, part of the allure was the thought of going to those games (2 1/2 hours away)...but 10 years and 2 more kiddos later, we'd never gone...especially shocking since my better half is a former fb player for said school...i guess maybe his unimpressed-with-the-crazy-football-madness-former-marching band wife rubbed off on him...hah!then, fall of 2009 we became the lucky 1/2 owners of one of the stadium boxes and have been to pretty much every home game since! pretty easy -and fun- to watch a team with 66 wins in the past 6 years, and 11 straight big sky conference titles...
i truly never thought i would become a griz football fan. i went to a rival school over in idaho, for starters. fun to go to the fb games but nothing in comparison to what happens on the UM campus. when i moved back in the fall of '92 i found fb there a bit like going to game day at a Pac 10, mega size school. the big time. in this small college town. in fact, for years i was pretty annoyed about the whole maniacal mess that happens. how the entire town goes crazy and their lives centered around a football game, for goodness sakes.
an unlikely griz fan.
but now? we can hardly wait to load the suburban and head out on the lovely drive...so you might be able to understand just a little bit when you watch this AWESOME video...even i get a little tingly with anticipation!
