Notice a lot of "blue and white" and "green and gold" combo colors lately in Great Falls - you're not alone - those colors have been popping up as fans show their allegiance to the Bison or Rustlers as Friday night's crosstown football game looms.

It's a week bigger than homecoming - from the pep rallies and smack talk - to the 48 minutes in Memorial Stadium on Friday night.

Even with the hype and anticipation - the coaches know their teams will be focused all week long.

CMR coach Jack Johnson said, "No I think they'll be alright, you know we want to come out and look like they've been there before, play good, play sharp, play fast and so that's what we're hoping to do."

Bison coach Matt Krahe said, "When we have them we want to make sure practice is sacred and make sure we're learning and we'll go from there."
