Just out of curiosity, do any of you know any obvious differences between the two universities and their fans and alumni? How are the two fans alike and different? How is Missoula compared to Bozeman? How are the universities alike and different?
Just a basic example...Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Ole Miss is located in quaint Oxford, Mississippi. It's a well established literary school (Faulkner) and a lot of the students pursue degrees in law, medicine, business and so forth. The school is "hoity toity" with The Grove and the students and fans really dress up for games. The town is known for a thriving food scene and has decent music for such a small college town.
Compare that to Mississippi State...located in rural Starkville, Mississippi. Students pursue degrees in engineering and the agricultural field. They are a little more "country" compared to Ole Miss.
You can do the same for Oregon and Oregon State, Texas and Texas A&M, etc.

good questions. Missoula is about twice the size of Bozeman, but the two are very similar towns, and Missoula is a little more urban and progressive. Lots of farms and ranches in both valleys, Bozeman at the south end of the Gallatin Valley wheras Missoula is at the north end of the Bitterroot. MSU is nationally recognized as a great engineering and agricultural school, and Montana is definitely the intellectual hub of the state with regard to the liberal arts. From that, you can guess the differences in alumni and fans, and it's similar to what you described with State and Ole Miss.
