1. This will be a game to remember
2. If I can't weasel out of work to watch it, someone will die.

I was seriously thinking I would go to this last night, but I was also seriously drinking at the time. I did check airfares this morning, but given my vacation time (or lack thereof) I don't think I'll make it. Should be an epic game in a great setting - maybe I'll make the home and home coming up over the next few years.

Whenever anybody hears TV schedules post it up.

Hey fuck you and the avatar you rode in on, G8. You hillbillies are gonna get a mauling next Saturday.

You like that, GATW? I did it just for you.

[T-Dog]

Up yours Montana boys.

[Grizalltheway]

Up with Montana boys, down with the foe.

Couldn't agree more!

I thought it was pretty funny, actually. Reminds of this behemoth that got hit near Helena.

Man, I wish I could come up there and take in the legendary WaGriz hospitality and atmosphere. Plan on being there when we play in a few years, but not this one. Looking forward to a great game (and some much desired revenge).

I hope ESPN is setting up lights because it'll be getting dark by the 4th quarter

The very same...

What? How the hell this drop down to the second page. Too much of a love fest on the other threads for this one to get any action I suppose.

For the App fans: Can someone list your starting players so I can get some idea of how big everyone is?

I swore Montana was a whole helmet taller across the field against Wofford, and we all know how that turned out.

It's actually on ESPN, not ESPN2. Small detail. Just sayin. Carry on.

Here's a sortable roster from goasu.com. We only have one guy listed at 300 lbs. and most of our D line is around 6' - 6'3" - I suspect you guys will be much bigger than us even visually on the field. I can only hope we make up for the size with speed.

I did go to that site last night and farted around a little. You are right, I think you will see a visible height and size difference out there this Saturday. Funny you worry about the size. As stated above, I worry about the speed like with Wofford, although our rushing game seems stronger this year than it was for Wofford.

Maybe I am wrong, and they just keyed on our running back, Lex Hilliard at the time. Always hard for me to watch games online and only catch a few live and be able to speak about our team with any sort of real insight. Would also help if I knew the X's on O's a little better.

Here is the link to our roster:

App has to start fast and not turn the ball over. I think our defense can hold its own. 3rd down conversions on both sides of the ball will be huge for us. My gut feeling is AE has a huge game both on the ground and in the air.

Your humility won't work this time, Darth Grizo.
