Miracle in Missoula | Documentary
One of the fiercest and oldest rivalries in college football is known as "The Brawl of the Wild". The annual game between the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats has been played since 1897, and through all those years the 2018 game included possibly the most dramatic and climactic ending in 118 years. The unbridled passion for football is put on full display through the eyes of players, coaches, and others who are part of that history.

    Honestly didn’t know Montana had 2 big in state schools. Or they had teams. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a game in the SEC that played one of these teams, even in a bowl. That’s kinda sad, would love to see teams across the country play other teams you’d never think would ever be matched up with. Kinda see the level and styles of play match up and see what happens. Maybe Montana beats up on Ole Miss or LSU etc.

    It is wild, I happen to watch this game, have no dog in fight but love some of the non major conf. games, can't count how many great games I have seen way down the channels on a thurs, fri, or sat night. I did go to big sky school. I was alone, in mood for a random game, and watched , I have been comparing every college game to this since. And I now tape every game broadcasted in case, Harvard-Yale or North Dakota-South Dakota or whoever, has absolute barnburner.....NIL deals be damned...

    What a complete crock of shit. Miracle? You're right. It's a fucking miracle the Cats ever win against the Griz. What 17 in a row? Cats ZERO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AS A DIV 1 TEAM. They will always be the bastard step child....little brother.

    • @kylerelliott3988

      It was 16 in a row, and the Cats have 1 D1 National championship in 1984, DII 1976, and NAIA 1956. Since the streak was broken the record is 10-10. Little brother grew up, and big brother better not grow old.

    I’ve rewatched this video a hundred times now. I remember when the game was televised. We had it on, and at halftime had started working on other things with the game as mere background noise. Then, the comeback. I stood in my living room as the miracle happened; and remember having the cops called on us for a noise violation. As a Bobcat, you couldn’t ask for a better ending to such a memorable game. As a Montanan, you couldn’t ask for a documentary that embodies what your state represents any better than this. Always proud to be a Cat, and will forever remember where I was when the Miracle in Missoula happened.

    Cool documentary about the rivalry and all. But Griz had the lead and the ball, Sneed was down before he fumbled. His left hand even knocks the ball out. Missed calls are part of the game though.

    • @brandoncooke6564
      @brandoncooke6564 Рік тому

      As an unbiased viewer, watching in slow motion, it's pretty clearly a fumble. Both views they show us here definitely show it being out just before his knee comes down. Even if it wasn't a fumble, I hardly consider that play a deciding factor in the game. You could speculate that Montana State could have stopped them on 3rd down, and forced a punt. Sure, 40+ yards further away, but all that *might* have changed is less time on the clock. Meaning instead of Montana State scoring with ~2:20 left, they might have scored with no time left, and the final stop wouldn't have even needed to occur. Like you said, missed calls are part of the game, so I appreciate that you aren't being bitter about it... however, it wasn't a missed call at all.

    Good documentary, but the Battle of the Piney Woods rivalry between Sam Houston and SFA gives this a run for its money. Considering the average attendance is much higher (26,000) and the margin of victory is much lower in recent years (a combined 2 points in two years).

    Truth. Montana State turned the corner with Jeff Choate. Not only with recruiting players in and out of state, but the mindset that a dynasty since the 70s could exist. Beat the field and UM, your season is basically yours.
