Stephen F. Austin @ Montana Game Thread

[autogriz]

Let's see here... Powder Puff schedule? I hear all about Montana not scheduling fbs teams. Why?
1) All the teams in the Big Sky conference have played @ least one Major FBS team, some two.
2) Griz have played all those teams in( big sky) who have played FBS teams & won. (Gee, how did that happen).
3) all the crybabies from the east & south conferences are jealous because of the tradition @ Montana, & wish they could be like them.
4) Comming from behind in a win vs. SDSU, scoring 40 pts,(How did that happen)? When was the last time any othe team has done that this season?
5) It takes a special kind of team & coaches to rally back from such a deficit & be victorious..
6) The support for montana football is unmatched, try looking up there attendance records, ( east, south conf)?

Enjoy the rest of the playoffs!!!! I will , GO GRIZ !!!!!!

just a quick question and i'm sure its probably a stupid one but why is your stadium called washington-grizzly stadium?

When they were looking for money to build it, a local businessman named Dennis Washington shelled out some big bucks.

ok thanks. i was just curious. figued it had to do with someone donating a lot of money.

There's a difference between being jealous and being impressed.
Some of us on here have been around the block a few times and understand it all.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- Stephen F. Austin
      
      Running Backs - Montana
      
      Receivers/TEs - Stephen F. Austin
      
      • • Stephen F. Austin 17-35 Montana

If Montana threw the ball 50 times a game, we'd have receivers with gaudy numbers like SFA does. That doesn't mean their receivers are better...they just get more chances.

I'll take Mariani/Phaler/Gratton/Zambrano & Crew all day long.

That could be, but SFA has the numbers to back it up. Also, Sambrano has drop problems and Palmer has disappeared at times this season (though he thankfully showed up at the right time last week).

I enjoy reading these threads.....but I have to tell you, I am so looking forward to this thread ending.

Looking forward to the next thread "Montana Vs. App State/Richmond".

On the flip side.....if SFA wins (and I highly doubt it), at WA/Griz stadium, in the cold, using a no huddle offense, with the loudest stadium they have ever been in..........they will win the NC.

Nuff said.

Do me proud today Griz Nation! Hopefully I'll get to see the game online, but wish I was back in Missoula for this.

[BlackFalkin]

I sure hope Montana makes that QB understand what happens when you goto bars with opposing fans 2 days b4 the game.

Anyone know if this can be seen anywhere besides espn360.com? My fuckin ISP doesn't support 360.

[GOKATS]

Anyone know if this can be seen anywhere besides espn360.com? My fuckin ISP doesn't support 360.

It's on Altitude which is available on DirecTV, Dish, and regional cable. Most sports bars should be able to get it.

SFA gets a big play for a 1st down and throws an interception on the next play.

1st and 10 Montana at the 24.

[dbackjon]

Griz recievers drop two passes, Montana punts

[Willie]

Griz get another interception. Stall a little again.

McKnight hits a 34 yard field goal. 3-0 Montana.

Yeah. "The noise won't bother us, we're used to it". Yep sure looks like it. 2 INT's and a false start already.

[Willie]

Montana offense still not doing anything. Punting again.

BUT, SFA fumbles the catch and the Grizzlies pounce on it. Montana ball on the 22.
