BEST MISSOULA/MONTANA SAYING
We asked: What’s your favorite Montana (or Missoula) saying?
For the record, OUR favorite Montanaism comes from the writer Norman Maclean:

Best Lady Griz Memory Contest
Congratulations to Skyla Sisco–she was the winner of the “University of Montana” poster by Monte Dolack. Skyla Sisco winning entry:
“So many memories – I’d have to say my top was playing #1 ranked Tennessee in Dahlberg – standing room only – a very, very close game at one point it was so loud i was screaming to a teammate who couldn’t hear me though she was only an arms length away – such an incredible atmosphere… second- a big ‘get Noise for Boise’ game. I was a red-shirt on the bench – Ann was on the freethrow line near the end of the game, the score was tied… Rob was pacing – then he turned around and yelled at the bench “Every Body Pray!”…lowered his head… then yelled back at the bench “Never mind, not even God could help her!”… She made the free-throw, we won!”
Brawl of the Wild Contest Winner: NativeMTBoy
“It’s the one time a year I can taunt my older brother (Cat alum) like we were kids again. He told me he was watching the game at a Seattle bar with 12 other folks, which I responded, “That’s probably all you can find!”. Now if I could only hold him down long enough to get him back for all the tittie-twisters he gave me as a kid.”
