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.

It was supposed to be a 7 minute class project... but there's no way this story could fit in that box. This 40 minute documentary was made during my junior and senior years at Montana State. We hit our fundraising goal in under 72 hours, safe to say Bobcat Nation wanted to see this story get told. After many late nights of editing and much help from those around me, we sold over 500 tickets to a premiere in Bozeman, MT. I can still hear the audience chanting those words to Mony Mony in the Emerson. Since publishing it onto YouTube, you can rely on a heavy view spike every late November. Go Cats Go.
