Montana State’s run to the national championship means more than football for one Bozeman family. After losing Val Aughney—a fifth-generation Montanan and lifelong Bobcat fan—her family honored her with blue and gold at her funeral, just as she’d want. Even in her toughest days, Val never missed a game, and her spirit is fueling her loved ones as the Bobcats chase their first title since 1984. For many in Bozeman, this season isn’t just about winning; it’s about community, tradition, and carrying on a legacy. How do sports bring your family or town together? #Sports #Football #Bozeman
