So we did. Forty-one years later we still are Big Sky Country and we still have a Big Sky Conference.” Jack adds, “A good many years ago the Washington Post ran a story about ‘Texas, Land of the Big Sky.’ Longtime friend Jim Patten corrected that with a letter to the editor published in a later issue of the Post. ‘Montana is the Land of the Big Sky,’ Patten wrote. ‘Texas has medium sky.’”
