Allison Maier Montana Kaimin Shortly after Gov. Brian Sch- weitzer gave a speech about sus- tainability at the University of Montana on Thursday, about 15 people trailed him holding um- brellas with “lies” either painted or duct-taped across the top of the canvases. The governor and his entourage tried, at first, to ignore the crowd as they walked up the stairs of the University Center on the way to a meeting with student group UM Climate Action Now.

This event alone would rank among the greatest fund- raisers of all time. Add a match between two superheroes with bloodlines tied to the National Wrestling Alliance and the result might just be heaven on earth. Thursday marked the second edition of what will almost certainly become a blue- print for club team fundraising as the Uni- versity of Montana women’s Betterside rugby team oil wrestled to the delight of more than 100 raucous rabble rousers at The Other Side. The event was conceived by the Better- side rugby players last spring in an effort to do something different and fun in hopes of it being lucrative. What was once thought of as an experiment now looks to be on the fast track to becoming a tradition. “We were brainstorming ideas last year about how to make money since we are a club sport,” said Kelly Wombacher, who has been a fly half for the Betterside for the better part of the last four years and served as the event’s MC. “We all just came up with a crazy idea to get the saucy ladies of the Betterside all hot and saucy for everyone that wants to support us.

The forecast for Gold River on Friday is partly cloudy with a high temperature of 64 de- grees.
