The Montana State Bobcats play the North Dakota State Bison for the National Championship this Saturday. So you didn't get tickets to the big game down in Texas, or the mean old boss wouldn't let you have time off so soon after the Holidays?

That's ok, we've got a solution to that problem.

Montana State fans all over the country are getting together and having "Watch Parties" to cheer on the Bobcats vs the Bison.  So, is there one near you?

Well, you might be surprised to know that there will be watch parties in 15 different states.  While most are in the western part of the United States, the parties will go as far east as Tennessee (Shout Out to all the Bobcat faithful down in the Volunteer State)

Montana of course leads the pack with multiple watch parties, with gatherings happening all over the state for the big game.

Emotion. Multi-ethnic fans celebrate winning. Confetti 4K slow motion. Passionate supporters shout watching game on TV
