NAU vs Griz

[AZGrizFan]

I am with my fellow NAU brother with and oceanview ...NAU will win but not by 21. The score will be closer.

28 -17 NAU.

I'll be in the stands and reporting the blow by blow.

An axe makes such a clean cut.

Are you giving 11 points?

[EWURanger]

you guys must know more about football then I because I don't even see this game being that close. Jacks by 21

Montana is 23-1 at home since 2003 against Big Sky Conference teams... NAU hasnt won in Missoula since 1986

Might want to check that again. EWU won there in 2005 and I know MSU has won there at least once in that amount of time, haven't they? I also want to say someone else has won there but Am far too lazy to check.

Hey Griz fan get your finger out of your eye.

I have no problem with you homers saying the Griz will win but I do take exception to the yahoos on here that feel despite each teams performance this year so far and the recent history that it is gonna be a blowout.

And yet here you are thinking your team will waltz into Missoula and win by 10+.

We're taking exception to you being a gigantic, delusional homer with absolutely nothing to back up what you're saying.

Also, based on this season's results, there's nothing to suggest that NAU is better than the Griz. You beat UNLV. Congrats. We would have beat them, too.

[JackParty]

A 10 point win is not a blowout.

Its gonna be a great game. Might be one of the best Big Sky game this season. Two talented tough physical teams.

Why can't we all just get along and put away the sticks n stones.

Seriously I am looking forward to the game and the game experience in Missoula

I heard its one of the best environments in not only FCS but FCS and I have been to quite a few.

[uofmman1122]

Winning by 10+ points in Missoula is a blowout because it never happens.

I love how you start all this shit and then back peddle away when it gets ugly for you.

I think the game might be close, unless you can't stop our rush. If you can't, then we'll win by 10+. And if we find a passing game, look out.

Cats win there in 2002, 2010 & 2012, which is why the conveniently pick 2003 as the year to start counting

Serious question here...apart from not needing the body-bag game pay out like other Big Sky teams, why doesn't the U of M schedule up one game each season more often? It is fun for the fans. Just saw the Griz get a game in Laramie. Go! If/when you beat the Cowboys, Griz fans will cherish the looks on the faces of the Cowboy fans as they shuffle out of the stadium in disbelief that and "inferior" team just beat them.

I can see your line of thinking. But it has to be considered a bit delusional for so many Griz fans to automatically count this as a win considering five of the last six matchups have been barn burners. The days of the Big Sky conference schedule being automatic wins for the Griz are gone. Weber State, Sacramento State, MSU and EWU have proven they can perform vs. the Griz the last few seasons. It is not inconceivable to see Cal Poly, UND, NAU or some other Big Sky team joining this club soon. What the college, students, coaches and community of Missoula have built in Missoula is mighty impressive but talent is creeping into other Big Sky conference locations. For years, Griz fans complained how much they wanted the Big Sky competition to improve. It's happening now.

I'm starting to think that indigenous tribesmen in the Amazon know more about football than you.

I think you're right the tribesman have the Jacks by 35

Good lord, I just realized there are upwards to four...count it....four NAU fans commenting on a single post. What is the world coming to?

Say what you will, Griz fans, but at least someone in Flagstaff/alums are starting to give a squat about Lumberjacks football.

Now if only they'd show up to the actual games. 6594 for a home opener… NAU's athletic programs are talented enough that numbers that low shouldn't be happening.

I think they're all alternate screen names for blankfalcon.

Never understood how a decent program in Arizona, with a nice dome/facility gets sucky attendance. Based on location, NAU and Sacramento State should be the best teams in the sky.

[JackParty]

You inferred I was shying away from the battle and oh contraire my little Grizzlies. Just puttin you to sleep before we go in for the kill.

No Joke. The tradition is being built at NAU with alums of football. Its up to us four to carry the torch and smack talk with these Grizly fans. Lets recruit other Jacks and drive these Grizzers nuts.

But seriously you guys have all drunk the koolaid and is getting boring

UM is the greatest football program in the history of mankind In fact I heard Zeus and Apollos sons play and the defensive lineman is a Yeti

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I hope the Jacks win just for the sake of this thread to continue toward full meltdown.

[JackParty]

Me too! It must have been dull before us Jack fans got involved....Just EWU and UM stroking eachothers egos

NAU students sit in their dorm rooms on Saturdays watching ASU/UofA/Pac12 games instead of walking ten minutes away to watch their own school in person. Phoenix/Tucson media gives somewhere between jack and shit attention to NAU, even when they happen to beat ASU or U of A (has happened in basketball) and happens often in cross country and track. Apart from the frenzy that is U of A basketball, the state's first, second and third loves are the Suns, Cardinals and Diamondbacks. Pro sports rule the roost. I have a multitude of NAU alum friends in the Phoenix metro area. I can't get f'ing one of them to even show up at a bar or ASU to support the college they spent five, possibly six of the best years of their lives at. Yet same friends will drop hundreds of bucks to see a Cardinals game all while paying $10+ for a beer while dealing with a bunch of drunk arseholes. It makes my head spin.

But one thing fixes all scuffling fan bases....winning. That's what it takes to get the bandwagon fans to join in for the ride. If the Griz hit a down cycle, I highly doubt they continue to sell out every game. Fans/people are just fickle. Fans here posting about FCS teams that rarely hit the tv and never hit ESPN are another story. These are lifers.

Hey sunpx don't get all giddy about the numbers.

6594 is PAID attedance.

Add another 5000 free students and the Dome was just about full for a DII game.

UM counts its free student attendees (just like most every other school, I would guess). Are you saying NAU doesn't?

[JackParty]

Saturday was the running of the Freshman another new NAU tradition. They entered through the Dome utility doors along with other students. So NO. Saturday the students were not counted.

I've got a freakin headache. Ya but you guys don't sell out. Ya but Flagstaff is boring. Ya but Souers hasn't won in 14 tries. Ya but we are great I know because everyone tells us so

Get real Bra.

As far as FBS games go, I'd love to see us play a western FBS that we have a shot at beating every year. But honestly it goes back to money. He fans love the play up games and the players do too, but the admin wants the money. We get way more playing a d2 at home than going to Wyoming. It's unfortunate, but true.

As for your second point, honestly look at it from our perspective: the big sky has been "getting way better" for a long time. Sure all the teams look stronger this year.

But we heard this in 2007. And 2008. And 2009, 2010, and last year.

I'm not saying we won't lose. We damn well could, but excuse us for not buying the Jack hype until we see it. You have to admit you guys do this every year.

[JackParty]

Finally a voice of reason. Look everybody He said "I'm not saying we won't lose.We damn well could." Can you believe it?

"excuse us for not buying the Jack hype until we see it." Well said and certainly fair.
