Over 70 TV satellite parties are held around the country where alumni from both Montana State University and the University of Montana gather to watch the greatest athletic rivalry in the state and one of the longest running rivalries in the nation. Each party is held at a site which can access the game via direct TV or satellite and is hosted by an alumni volunteer.

The Cat/Griz game is on November 17th, 2007 at 12:37 p.m. MST

Contact the Alumni office with questions, alumni@montana.edu. We appreciate your loyalty to Montana State and know that these parties provide an excellent opportunity to mingle with other Montanans in your area.
