Montana 35
Richmond 13

East Coast teams are a joke......

(BTW, if this prediction comes true, it would be in Griz fans interest to buy me a plane ticket for return trip to Zoo next fall.....don't want to upset the football gods....)

I'm sure that can be arranged.

Good luck to both teams! Remember that the Chatty Sherriffs are autorized to shoot on site anyone rushing the field before the end of the game.

Sorry for ruining that for everyone...

First to the subject at hand - Montana 24 Richmond 10. I'm basing that score on how the two teams have performed in the playoff to this point. If the Griz run the ball effectively the game will shorten, and not end up with an inflated combined score. The running game for the griz should set up the play action (as it has for the last 10 games or so). Richmond proved last week they can overcome at least one turnover, and that they players who can come through in crunch time. Problem? If the Griz play to their current playoff level, the game will never get to crunch time. Richmond may be able to keep the game close with turnovers in their secondary, but the hard hitting Griz will force fumbles - potentially in special teams as they did last week vs. JMU. X-factors - rain - Montana has not played well in rain, but I feel its a coincidence the Griz have not played well in the rain and not an actual influence by the weather. Perhaps the most important X-Factor is the venue. WHAT WILL THIS VENUE SCREW UP THIS TIME?!? No Griz fan will forget the Chattanooga field a few years back when Montana played JMU in the final game (obviously with artificial turf that will never be an issue again). But last years storming of the field by App St fans,well before the game was over, was perhaps the worst displays of sportsmanship this fan has ever witnessed. Even though I thought the App St fans showed their true nature, ultimately the responsibility falls on those in charge of the event - in Chattanooga. How will this game be tainted?

Oh... anyone wonder why there are so many unsolved crimes in West Virginia? Answer - there are no dental records and all the DNA is the same.

The ineptitude of the MEAC officials were obviously the fault of the Stormin' App Fans.....

Nice defensive stand by Richmond.

I didn't think they'd stomp on them but I thought it would be very close.

How's the scotch?
