Feel free to take advantage of "Late Pass Wednesday" yourself by posting comments that are equally as outdated and irrelevant. Have news that you've been meaning to tell us all for a long time, but never got around to it? Today is your day! Enjoy!
Late Pass Wednesday: First Edition: Cat/Griz in the SLC Airport
The Cat/Griz football game is the state of Montana's equivalent to Civil War. In case you didn't know, its a pretty big deal. This year the conference championship was on the line, winner takes all, and my Women's Basketball team just happened to be on travelling that weekend. God forbid we miss the big game, so during our LONG layover in the Salt Lake City Airport our coaches hooked up the laptop and projector, purchased the live game stream via the airport's wireless internet, and projected the game onto the wall at one of the gates. The girls pulled rows of chairs from other gates and all kinds of other passengers from other flights kept stopping by to see what the hell we were up to. Too bad it was the same weekend as the Michigan/Ohio State game, and most people just wanted to know the score of THAT game. One person who stopped by though, was actually MSU alumni and had even played football for us on the 1984 Championship team. Small world.
P.S. Everyone here always makes comments about the '84 Championship team. Kind of the same way that everyone at OSU refers to the 2000 season as the "Fiesta Bowl Year." I Don't know exactly what Championship was won in '84....but I'll let you know when I do find out.
Well, there you have it. The first installment of "Things I Should Have Posted About a Long Time Ago (A.K.A. Late Pass Wednesday)" Hope you enjoyed it!
