                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TROY DOWNING

                               of montana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 18, 2025

  Mr. DOWNING. Mr. Speaker, in November, Montanans gathered in Missoula 
for the 124th Brawl of the Wild, a legendary matchup between the 
University of Montana Grizzlies and the Montana State University 
Bobcats.
  On Saturday, December 20, Montanans across the country will be tuning 
in for what many are calling the Montana Super Bowl. This is Brawl 2.0, 
and this time, it means more. With a spot in the FCS National 
Championship on the line, the stakes could not be higher.
  For the first time in Montana history, the Grizzlies and Bobcats will 
face off in the FCS semifinals at Montana State University in Bozeman, 
placing our state in the national spotlight.
  Montana's competitive spirit always shines on game day, and this 
weekend will be no exception. From living rooms to watch parties to 
packed stadium seats, Montanans will be united by pride, passion, and 
rivalry.
  I thank Bradley Warren, ``Touchdown'' Tommy Mellott, and Marcus 
Welnel for covering the Montana Super Bowl. I'm looking forward to an 
electric game and wish both teams the best of luck.
