Semi Final Game #2: Appalachian State @ Montana Game Thread

[AZGrizFan]

66.58 – Average rushing yards allowed by Richmond, before giving up 228 rushing yards at home to App State
77.1 – Average rushing yards allowed by Elon, before giving up 205 rushing yards at home to App State
87.3 – Average rushing yards allowed by Montana this season

With the running attack of Devon Moore and Armante Edwards, Montana should fall like a heard of Buffalo - errrr ahhhhh - Grizzlies.

Take out two games where ASU held opponents to < 25 yards rushing, they gave up an AVERAGE of 188 yards to the other 9 teams. Me thinks Chase Reynolds & Company have a FIELD day against that defense, especially with the removal of your starting defensive end.

Montana - 212 yards rushing; 6.4 ypc

Chase Reynolds - 23 carries, 198 yards; 8.4 ypc; 2 TD's.


Jesus, I am fucking good.

Congrats to Montana on a fabulous football game.

Chase Reynolds and the offensive line just dominated.

I'll be pulling for y'all in Chattanooga. Beat the hell out of Villanova, please.

That we will, KY, that we wil.

Great game Apps, glad this one didn't result in a bunch of mud-slinging between the two fan bases. Fuck FBS and their bowl bullshit, this was college football at its absolute finest.

[Ivytalk]

Congrats to Montana. Should be another good one next week!

Hey jelly....seems as though some of us tried to tell you so.

Get home safe fellas, Appalachian is proud of you for all you have accomplished this year. To the Grizzlies, nothing but respect to your program and fans. At least you guys showed up to support your team! Unlike Richmond. It's a terrible feeling right now but there's always next year. I stay classy in defeat as well as in victory. Good luck next week.

Love the App team, and the way they play football. Love the App fans, and their class in defeat. And I am REALLY glad AE is gone...JESUS that guy is a freak. Talk about single-handedly putting a team on his back and almost willing them to victory.

Dude is a flat out stud, as is Quick and #17. #40 on defense is a beast as well... thumbs up to all ASU players and fans. You've got a quality program and will be a force to contend with for years to come. Can't wait for 2012!!

Thompson's hit on #17 was the NUMBER ONE ESPN Play of the day!

Still seems wierd to listen to the announcers continually talk about lil' ol' Missoula....

One of the anchors also said "everyone go hike the M in Missoula". Thought that was pretty funny.

That's the comment I'm talking about! It's like EVERYBODY should know what they're fucking talking about and probably ain't 250,000 people in America have any idea at all and maybe 2500 of them are actually watching...

Montana will stop two evil empires from taking the NC on back-to-back weeks.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

App St, you ugys have GREAT fans and it was fun as hell meeting and partying with you guys last night in the Zoo. Your team is all that and Armanti is simply the best player in the FCS for the last 4 years. Man hes good, I cant find the words to say how incredible that guy is.

I cant wait until we get to come to Boone for the away game.

[green&gold75]

FCS football couldn't have had better P.R. than today's game. A great football game, start to finish, very compelling viewing. Congratulations to both programs.

[putter]

That was a game for the ages and I agree with Coach Moore, this was a game that the FCS needed. Really made it look like the big time football that it is!! Went over to the App message board to post my congrats there but after a few posts, I was ticked listening to their excuses. Props to all the posters here and the fans in Missoula...total class and that game was all it was cracked up to be.

[Grizo406]

Big props to the ASU fan base that made the trip!

You represented the Mountaineer's VERY WELL, and you're welcome here...ANY TIME!

I can't either wait for 2012 either. Waited 9 years for this one, and it sucks just as bad, but these two teams need to play more often.

[CAA Flagship]

Great display of quality football by both teams yesterday. Montana, you really put on a great show. That was a fun game to watch. I don't know how you folks deal with that weather though.

I couldn't help but notice what seemed to be a "bend but don't break" defense. Is that typical or was that the result of the Appy St. offense?

[fencer24]

Both, but it was sure bent at a weird angle with 2 seconds left.

I just spent some quality time over at MMB.

HOLY SHIT. Am I glad some of those douchebags don't post here.

Ya'll got some myopic motherfuckers over there....makes some of the eGriz mypoics seem like amateurs.

There are individuals STILL bitching about Montana's soft schedule and how if App hadn't scheduled McNeese (and LOST) but instead scheduled some patsie then the game would have magically been in Boone instead of Missoula and somehow, magically, the Mountaineers would then have won by two touchdowns!

Here's a newsflash for those myopians: You STILL lost a game, and at best would have been a #2 seed. So, in all honesty, most Griz fans wish the same thing because THEN last night's game would have been played in Chatty next week instead if in Missoula THIS week....

And how in the FUCK do SoCon homers hammer on Montana's "soft" schedule when the BSC is clearly ranked above the SoCon by every known measurement out there (Sagarin, GPI, etc). I'd tell them to "give it up", but no amount of logic works on people like that.

[ASUG8]

Great game Griz and congrats! Drop the boys from Philly next week for us!

Easy Z - be gracious in your win. If you hate homerism, don't visit MMB - you know you're going to walk into a buzzsaw on any home team board. You won, we lost, you had the better team yesterday. Just take care of business next week.

Simple answer for ASU fans with the McNeese State argument...fucking beat them and you don't have a thing to fucking bitch about.

Yeah relax man, your team won - enjoy it! Some fans are always going to find ways to talk junk no matter what.
