The University of Montana Grizzlies football squad--11 and 0 in the regular season, play their first playoff game today here in Missoula. It is a cold and clear day with snow on the ground (we had 10 inches last Monday and a few showers since then to keep things white and pretty).

It was a great day to be out walking the river trail with Jenny. And everywhere we looked, we saw folks in maroon and grey  Grizzly gear--many of them walking to the game.

  You can see some Grizzly supporters across the river in this picture.

The best encounter of my walk came when a man and boy of about 12 walked toward me singing the Montana fight song. They were singing slowly and I'd guess the dad was teaching the song to his son as they headed to the game. It was really sweet.

GO GRIZ!!!
