No TV = Sellout?

Montana might get a few thousand extra in the stands because of the lack of coverage. Good or bad for the University?

Re: Big Sky Power Rankings 10-3

2. Montana (4)---Quite a jump for the Grizzlies after a resounding win at home against Northern Colorado. A win was expected, the margin was good, but it took a strong third quarter to seal the game. This week, the Grizzlies head to Idaho State in search of their first road win of the season. The G...

Re: Whoomp...there it is!

Montana has seven active roster NFL'ers. I think only App. State is close. We have four seniors right now that are good prospects. A 6'3" corner with 4.4 speed that's a lock to go in the 3rd-4th round. A linebacker that's 6'2" 245 and is leading the FCS in tackles at 15 per game, and two O...

Re: EWU @ Montana

Rushing the passer and making him hurry and throw off his back foot all day long. Reason for the rushing success ...

Re: EWU @ Montana

Nice write up, Thanks.
I think the GRIZ safeties are too green to become excellent this season, but definately improving every week.
These guys are seniors. They better improve and fast. Tully and Hermanson next season. They will get lot's of reps in 2011.

Re: EWU @ Montana

Not so much Mitchell being off as the Griz Defense bringing pressure all day long and causing him to throw off his back foot and sailing the ball over receivers heads. The announcers talked about that all afternoon and one was a former Griz QB John Edwards.

These guys were not the worst team in Division II. They were 3-8 last season and returned 16 starters including their QB, RB, and top WR. There are many worse Div II's than Western State.

Re: Montana, MSU ponder future in Big Sky Conference

As a WAC fan though, i wonder if Montana hasn't 'peaked'- i'm not sure if there is potential for growth, if Montana can really be bigger than they already are. UTSA, TxState, maybe a couple of California schools, could have the potential to be serious FBS teams; i'm not yet convinced that Montaina ...

Re: Should UM move up if they can?

As a WAC team Montana would no longer have the playoffs. No money maker anyway. We probably just about break even on home playoff games with the NCAA taking 75%. In FBS you get 12 games, so 6 home games, 6 away games would be the norm. O'Day would make sure of that, 4 conference, 1 FCS OOC, 1 FBS OO...

Re: Hey Albany fans, how's that RB you stole from Montana?

Statham had a class credit issue to clear up and will join the team when classes start. Kirschner broke a toe playing basketball this summer, needed surgery, and will probably redshirt. Freshman Canada has looked like a great get in camp so far.
