G a m e D a y K a i m i n 2 Saturday, October 28, 2006 Griz safety not afraid to call Butte ‘home’

PETE DELMOE GAMEDAY KAIMIN

“We’re the boys from Butte, the land of rocks and ditches. We bang our cocks off the rocks; we’re dirty sons a bitches.”

Before every football game this is the cheer that University of Montana sophomore safety Colt Anderson says in the UM locker room before taking the field. As the lone Butte player on the Griz roster these days, Anderson is keeping alive a tradition that has been followed by many Butte boys before him. For many people around the state, Butte is sort of like a dirty word. Just the mention of it and some people cringe. The city’s known by some as the “armpit of the world,” and the people from there are often referred to as “Butte Rats,” which is supposed to have a negative connotation. However, for Anderson, being from Butte is kind of like a badge of honor. Instead of hiding from his Butte roots, he flaunts them. “I take a lot of pride in growing up in Butte and being from Butte,” Anderson said. “I’m just happy to be from Butte.” In Anderson’s TV introduction for Griz games, when the players Tim Kupsick/GameDay Kaimin announce their high schools, he UM defensive back Colt Anderson chases Northern Arizona junior wide receiver Kenny Mahone during the second quarter against the Lumberjacks in a Sept. 14 game. couldn’t help but send a shout out to that old mining city on the hill. was hurt. my scholarship I felt like I hadn’t had waited so long for. able and it makes everybody “Colt Anderson, Butte High “It was very disappointing,” he achieved anything yet.” “Football’s a team sport and proud of him.” School, Butte, America.” said. “Make a play against Oregon Fortunately for Anderson, after even though I felt like I played Anderson’s biggest supporter He also has a different defini- then I’m done for half a season.” a strong showing in spring ball it pretty good it just wasn’t that has probably been his longtime tion of what a Butte Rat is.

Now he can sit back and enjoy his son’s achievements on the field without having to do anything himself. “I couldn’t be more happy for him,” Mike Anderson said. “I knew it was going to be an uphill battle and I know he’s put a lot of time into it.” Colt may have different coaches now, but he still knows the role his father played in his athletic career and it’s paying off more now than ever. “My dad’s always been a big part of this,” he said. “He’s always had confidence in me and told me to do my best.”
