Montana State’s 41-year championship drought finally ended, and Billings felt every heart-pounding second. Local bars were packed with fans—some clutching family traditions, others just riding the emotional roller coaster. The Bobcats jumped ahead early, but nerves set in as Illinois State rallied, forcing overtime. When that final extra point sailed through, the city exploded in cheers, hugs, and maybe a few tears. For many, it wasn’t just about football—it was about generations, community, and finally seeing the Cats bring it home. How did you celebrate the win, and what does this victory mean to your family? #Sports #Football #MontanaState
