Sports fanatic doesn't quite describe Sara Roberts' husband.
"He's nearly an addict," the 25-year-old said.
Last year, the couple not only attended nearly every Grizzly home football game, but also Roberts' husband, a University of Montana pharmacy student, drew up polls and spreadsheets to follow his favorite teams and strategized how to watch four football games at once.
Watching sports together can be frustrating at times, she said. Roberts asks a lot of questions, but getting an answer never goes well unless it's during a commercial break or at a timeout.
That's why Roberts and friend Beth Simmons, 26, found themselves in the Max and Betty Swanson Grizzly Sky Club at the Adams Center last Wednesday evening, sipping chardonnay while dressed in their maroon and silver.
"I have three football seasons to make it through," Roberts said. "I want to impress the guys."
