NNumberumber Former Bobcat coach Jeff Choate introduced 41 as Montana State’s legacy number in the summer of 2016, a tribute to the Trea- sure State’s status as the 41st state in the Union and to Montana State’s iconic 1941 football team, the last group of Bobcats to play football before World War II. By the end of the 1944 season 10 Bobcat football players had perished in the war eff ort, a fact observed by famed sportscaster Bill Stern. Stern’s 1944 All-America football was comprised only of those 10 men, and in the next year their names441 had been 1memorialized nationally and read into the Congressional record. Bozeman’s Grant Collins wore no. 41 when Choate decided to designate 41 as MSU’s legacy number, and Belgrade’s Brayden Konkol was the fi rst Bobcat selected specifi cally for the honor.
