The Brawl of the Wild

This weekend is a big one in Montana for college football fans.  It is the 111th Cat-Griz Brawl of the Wild.  One of college footballs oldest and biggest rivalries. Everyone in Montana has a side.






So you start seeing lots of fun things on Facebook like this




This


really dumb ones like this


The Montana State University Bobcats are ranked #1 in the nation and the University of Montana is ranked #7. I am not an avid football fan so I can't remember the division or whatever that they play in, but this is one game that I do watch :

Should be a good game!  My husband and I are both Cats fans. Our lounge at work is plastered with these and more. 

Finally may i just say, what is a girl to do.   I LOVE lululemon's running skirts so bad.  Yesterday this one showed up on the website.  Do I do it or not? My birthday is coming up next weekend, great little present for myself.
 I can't decide which I would get, but I do know I better figure it out, as they will be GONE soon.  Skirts never last long on the website. It is the run:your heart out skirt.  I love it.

happy Friday and have a great weekend!

    I love the name "Brawl of the Wild". I visited U of M this summer in Missoula - beautiful campus, but I don't know anything about either team - hope you enjoy the game!

    My son graduated from UM in 2009, so we used to be Griz fans. I'm very familiar with the Griz-Cats rivalry.

    Here in Oregon we call the game between the OSU Beavers and UO Ducks the "Civil War." My daughter attends OSU so I'm now a Beaver fan (even though the Beavs are having a lousy season!)

    Go CATS! My husband and I went to MSU, and my in-laws are die hard Griz fans. It makes the cat-griz game pretty entertaining. Not that we'll get to watch it on tv in Oregon. Now we live in Ducks country.

    Grizzz forever! I went to UM. I hated the Griz when I was there, but I can't go against them now that I'm not.

    Omg that skirt is so cute! I love the subtle hint of red. So much fun! I think you should wait and stalk their website and see if they are having any black Friday deals (I'm hoping so I can finally get some cute workout clothes in my closet!)

    You know how much I love college football! Have fun at the game! This weekend is also Stanford vs CAL (known at Big Game), it looks like it's the 114th game for those 2 teams - I think it's among the top 10 longest rivalries in college football.

    The Oregon Ducks and Beavers are quite a fun rival around here. :) If I were a running skirt gal I might go for the red and black one.

    Treat yourself! Love that skirt. I can't decide if I like the peeking red one or the black one. Both are very cute!

    Sweet skirt! almost makes me want to run in a skirt...but it would have to be that one :) Love those rivalry pics... they are sooooo funny! When I was a kid I used to groove on the Giants Dodgers MLB rivalry. In college, we had a great rivalry with Harvard...especially regarding hockey. Other than that, I am not much a sports follower any more :(

    I <3 college football. I'm a Gator girl, even if we aren't playing very well this season. Hopefully we can at least beat FSU next weekend...

    I say go with the red trim if you can only get one. You will regret it if not. But if you really want to treat yourself, go for both!!
