Montana vs Central Arkansas

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

My sign next weekend will read.

"Take your Bear Dick back to Arkansas and put it away until next year".



I also cant wait to hear Bob The Blob Hermes say the following:

"Bobo, Smothers, Dick in the backfield and its a dive, hard up the middle"

"Dick passes to Soft, the ball is tipped and bobbles in his hands.............incomplete"

Grady Bennet: Hey Bob? Do you think Dick is getting rid of it prematurely?

Hermes: You know Grady, you got a good eye for Dick and he seems to be getting a lot of the wrinkles out of his game lately.

"Dick is really running hard today"

"I like how Dick is jamming it up the middle all day, he came to play"

[Ronbo]

Could you be any more drunk and stupid?

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

***** yes..................stay tuned.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Dick comes up short as Central Arkansas limps out of WGS.

[veinup]

central arkansas looked good today. a worthy opponent, for sure.

[Cleets]

Could you be any more drunk and stupid?

Come on, every one of those is PURE GOLD

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Come on, every one of those is PURE GOLD

Quit acting like Ronbo doenst know dick........................................

[Squealofthepig]

Come on, every one of those is PURE GOLD

I was just surprised he asked someone from Butte if he could be more drunk. Challenge accepted...

A new battle of the Bears! I think the last one was in Orofino a few years back (against the ursines from Maine, of course). It sounded like UCA had an interesting offensive setup/variation; and they won big on the road, so expecting a good game next weekend!

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

As pass happy as CArk is they are gonna hate next weekend.

I dont think they match up too well with our DL and we will get some pressure on them without blitzing. If they go 3 and out and we put points on the board this one is going to get out of hand real fast.

[GrizzlyEdd]

This thread so reminds me of eGriz.com I fee like I am home.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Well just like eGriz, if you dont like it.............dont read it.

[Sam_Kats]

UCA will be a test...I hope the Griz go down.

[Hellgate60]

What's the color of the sky in your universe?

Seems to me that you could be having more than you could handle with SB.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

UCA will be a test...I hope the Griz go down.

I hope you get Stoned by the Brook................

[Sam_Kats]

I agree - SB a solid team & should be a good one. Looking forward to it.

[Reign of Terrier]

UCA has quietly been a very good team the last few years, much like SUU. I hope they beat the Griz so if my terriers win next week they get another home game

[fencer24]

Well that's not very polite. We were hoping to show you almost as much hospitality as the last time. Almost.

[Reign of Terrier]

Well that's not very polite. We were hoping to show you almost as much hospitality as the last time. Almost.

I want a home game in the playoffs....if UCA wins we have a chance of hosting a game and not flying to west of the Mississippi for at least 2 games

[100%GRIZ]

I want a home game in the playoffs....if UCA wins we have a chance of hosting a game and not flying to west of the Mississippi for at least 2 games

Sorry - But you won't be hosting any games! Come on out to Grizzville though - We owe you one!

[fencer24]

Go Wofford, and nip those Panthers!

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

All teams from the east should have to travel west of the Mississippi................to keep things equal.

Im all about equality.




Damn it, now this thread is going to get moved to politics.................xcoffeex

[Grizalltheway]

Griz by 21+. Wa-Griz continues to be a Southland graveyard.

[Tod]

Griz by 21+. Wa-Griz continues to be a Southland graveyard.

Of the six home games we have had so far this year (all wins), we have won three of them by 21+. A Div. II team, 0-11 UNC, and Weber State in perhaps the best game we've played all year. I wouldn't be quit so confident of such a lopsided score.

[GrizBowl]

***** yes..................stay tuned.

Amen Bro, Griz got this!

[GrizzlyEdd]

Well just like eGriz, if you dont like it.............dont read it.

That wasn't a smartass remark on my part AG1.... so why the in yo face reply????

[Bearkats94]

Griz by 21+. Wa-Griz continues to be a Southland graveyard.

Unless they are playing in August.

[Live4Griz]

Unless they are playing in August.

Are you referring to a game played in Wa-Griz or Texas?

[Squealofthepig]

Unless they are playing in August.

Very true that (back in '04). But, the last Southland conference team who came in predicting they'd win at Wa-Griz and that the atmosphere would not be a factor (the threads are still there to be found, I'm sure), was SFA in '09. I believe the ten turnovers committed by the Lumberjacks in that game is still the FCS record.

'04 and '09 have no real bearing here though - I expect this to be a good game - and I'm real curious how our defensive gameplan is being drawn up.

[fencer24]

and I'm real curious how our defensive gameplan is being drawn up.

Just in case the Southland forgot how inhospitable Montana is:

So, McSurdy, then. :)

[Sam_Kats]

Moot point...if we meet up, it will be @ Bowers. 1-0 vs Griz in Texas.

And that's really cool that you guys were able to turn those first FOUR turnovers into 10 pts. Impressive!!

Very bold. But if UCA does get up in the first half...let we remember SDSU...

Southland teams don't generate scores like that against teams that arent crap.

[Dallas Demon]

Bold statements from you and others in Bison-land. Remember, you were Division II only a handful of years ago. Certainly understandable coming from fans in Montana, but NDSU hasn't proved it's worth over the years in 1-AA/FCS like others to be boasting so much...

[veinup]

don't think this will be an easy one for the griz.

[Grizzaholic]

It is the playoffs. None are easy.

Even as a Griz fan, I hate remembering that game.

[Catbooster]

UCA will be a test...I hope the Griz go down.

Maybe with a last second QB draw? Hermes - "Dick finds a hole and scores! The Griz go down!"

Trying to get back on Alpha's theme here.

xlolx xrolleyesx Hey more Dick jokes. Haven't heard those ALL year. xrotatehx

As for the Bears, just remember it is only their 2nd year eligible for the playoffs. As a fan I want a win, so do the players I'm sure, but Montana has apparently been bad luck for Southland teams so I'm cautious.

...more on my thoughts about this upcoming game tomorrow. After a 7 hour drive to Cookeville, a game, and a 7 hour drive back....I'm tired. xholyx This getting home at nearly 2 a.m. thing gets tougher every year. xlolx

Congrats on the win today. Good on ya making the drive. Oh, and if you do end up making the trip up here, PM me or Ursus or post it...and make sure you wear your colors around town.

Got any good dick jokes?

Squeal, I love watching that game. Almost all of the emotions come back...not as many as the 1995 game, but most. I still want to flinch when Andy goes up for the field goal.

[veinup]

those playoff highlights damn near brought a tear to my eye. ;_;

What makes a man cry is a RANKED Steve F. Austin team down 38-0 at the half...
They looked like the most unprepared poorly coached talentless clowns to ever walk on a play-off field (and we know that just isn't true) but that's what they looked like

That was a terrible afternoon for Southland football - ending at 51 - 0

[KNUTS]

If any of the UCA players want to know things to do and places to hit up while in town. They should get ahold of Moses and a few of the other SFA players from that 09 game.

Montana in a walk. This team has serious chops and is one of my finalists picks this year along with Georgia Southern.

Almost as cool as SFA embarrassing themselves two years in a row. Payton winner my ***

But what about that SFA Off.....well they turned the ball over but kept the Griz out of the endz.....hummmm.. I got nothing.

[Squealofthepig]

I'm torn... visit folks tailgating or get in to Wa-Griz and do a timelapse of Wa-Griz filling up before heading to my seat. Decisions, decisions.

A time lapse shot of the stadium filling would be cool. However, it just seems wrong to skip a playoff tailgate... there might be beer available!

UCA: 35-34

[Grizcountry420]

UCA: 35-34

Dont see UCA scoring that many points, let alone beating us at home. Montana has only given up 27 points in the last 3 games.. The score is probably gonna be around 41-13 Montana. Our D Coord is no slouch..

[344Johnson]

Montana: A lot
UCA: Not a lot.

Saw a photo of Montana Wash-Griz stadium today: Doesn't look too cold. But then again it was 26 degrees here the other day...odd for this time of year...an omen? Who knows.

[Squealofthepig]

Yeah, the weather here shouldn't be a factor. Should be 22-24 gametime, under sunny, non-windy skies. Guess we'll just have to rely on our players instead of the weather. :)

Yep.. Its not going anywhere anytime soonxthumbsupx

I've heard alot about "moose drool"...anyone got a recipe? On another note, our weatherman in Little Rock used to do weather in Missoula. Todd Yakobian (sp?) He told us all the places to go while visiting. Nice. Small world.


Todd's journey to KATV began immediately after he graduated Little Rock Catholic High School in 1992. In 1996 he graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in broadcast journalism. He continued his education in meteorology at Mississippi State University where he was certified as a broadcast meteorologist by the Department of Geoscience and Meteorology. Todd took his first television job in Missoula, Montana as the morning meteorologist then the chief meteorologist. He says he will never forget his first winter up north, where 111 inches of snow fell. He learned how to snow ski and fly fish.

Moose Drool isnt very good. They market the hell out of it to out of state folks. There's a place called The Kettlehouse and they brew up great brews. My fav is their Cold Smoke Scotch Ale.. It makes me thursty just thinking about it... Missoula is a great place to visit if your a beer connoisseurxthumbsupx

Yeah I was in Westwood California and saw a HUGE 53 foot trailer with Moose Drool on it....covered the entire thing
Who picked up the distribution rights for that..? Miller or Bud..?
Because it's gone big time


53 feet of this...

[Squealofthepig]

It's not thin air; Missoula is only about 1700 feet higher than Fayetteville. Yeah, if you climb Stuart Peak (8000 feet) or South Lolo (9192), you'll get some thinner air (and a bunch of snow). At 3100 feet, Missoula is actually one of the lowest big sky towns. Flagstaff, Arizona (home to NAU) is at more than twice the elevation (6,910).

I can get Moose Drool at the nearest intersection from my house. It is no longer an unknown "local" beer.

And I went to college in Missoula and I LIKE moosedrool damnit!! And I can get it here in Chicago...which is a WIN.

*sigh* Yes, but who introduced you to slow elk and all things Big Sky Brewing to start? Give props where they are due!

[Grizcountry420]

You guys gotta try Cold Smoke. They even make it in a 16oz can for all the outdoorsy people. Best beer ever.. A beer that i can never get my hands on unless i go over to Spokanistan or Seattle area is called Mac n Jacs African Ale, thats really good too..

[Grizcountry420]

Agree, though it seems like it's available for about one week a year in stores (last time I found it was in Dillon, of all places).

This is why Big Sky is LOVED by packers in the Bob Marshall Wilderness; you can't pack in glass, but every mule train you see will probably be carrying some Trout Slayer or Slow Elk.

Yes, very familiar with Binny's. The problem is my husband is resistant to trying new beers, so I usually stick with our mainstays. I may have to force him to branch out a bit more. Squeal is familiar with my dilemma there.

Big Sky cans beers but they are in the 12oz cans. Kettlehouse cans are 16oz and normally sold in a 4 back but yeah they are starting to think outside the box by canning crafted beers..

After a year away from the playoffs, I am absolutely fired up right now!! Can't wait for tomorrow. I have already warned the family I will be 100% worthless (not far from norm) from 9am to 5pm.

Go Griz!

[Squealofthepig]

Perfect storm brewing? You getting nervous?

Nahh. Just being greedy. Wa-Griz atmosphere is at its best when the players are in short sleeves with single digit temperatures and a raucous crowd.

Snow is welcome. I've been snowed on all but two months of the year this year - and July cut it close (as I was snowed on in The Bob on August 1st while climbing around on Scapegoat Mountain).

If your ISP has espn3 you can just click a video.

i'm in seattle, my ISP will let me watch it on ESPN3. i just have no prior experience with that service, was wondering if i'd have to "sign up" or something..

No you would not have to sign up.

[veinup]

well in that case, my body is ready. as far as i'm concerned montana's season has already been a success. trashed the cats, got our hands back on the conference championship, made the playoffs. i'm predicting a griz win today (obviously), but even if we lose, i'll still be proud of my team. everything from here on out is icing on the cake for me.

No, just make sure your Adobe Flash is the latest version (V11.xx). For some reason, I had V10 and my crap kept crashing. V11 solved everything.

Yeah because North Dakota is the cradle of ****ing civilization. Montana has probably had internet longer than NoDak has had electricity.

I tried to buy the games for today but Comcast's price (I'm in Washington state) is $117.00, to which is said no way I'm paying that, so I'll go drink $25 worth of beer at the bar instead.

You have a computer and comcast... espn3 is free....... buy a dvi to hdmi cable.... or just us a vga.

I've got some buds I'm meeting up with at the bar, but that was the original plan.

[BEAR]

It's GAMETIME! GO BEARS!

[BEAR]

What I like about this game is:

1) If we lose, then we get to see what it takes to move on in the playoffs. Valuable insight.
2) If we win, then we move on. No lose situation there. LOL

[BEAR]

But I can't wait to watch all the games today. What a field!

[veinup]

feels like a really long time since i saw a griz playoff game. i've been waiting forever. barely slept last night. LETS DO THIS.

[BEAR]

C'mon ESPN3! Hurry UP!

[veinup]

six minutes till kickoff by my watch. i'm opening beer number one. it's only number one because i have to be at work an hour after the game. :(

[BEAR]

It's ON!

[BEAR]

WHY are the stands empty?

[veinup]

generally alcohol is to blame

[BEAR]

Do they fill up later? Not trying to be rude, but if it's anything like UCA games, they tend to fill up during the first quarter...after the cups flow...LOL

[BEAR]

This is a nice measuring stick for us. Let's go BEARS!

[veinup]

it's filling up as we speak.

[BEAR]

Oh what a hit!

[veinup]

biiiiiiiig mistake bears.

[veinup]

antwon moutra ready to play.

[veinup]

brody mcknight FG., 3-0 montana.

[BEAR]

Nice plays by Montana. Defense held though. Minus that stupid mistake by Grandy...it's early. xlolx

[BEAR]

Nice punt!

[BEAR]

2 turnovers.....blah

[veinup]

another turnover for da bears. if griz don't make 7 out of this i will be upset k.

[veinup]

moutra getting alot of attention. any of you grizzle fans see if jabin sambrano is out? saw him limp off earlier but they haven't mentioned it.

[BEAR]

Defense?

[veinup]

okay, that answers my question. :D
sambrano touchdown, 10-0 montana.

[BEAR]

Looks like usual UCA football. Slow start. Two turnovers lead to 10 points. Been here before. Can't give the Grizz those...

[veinup]

little bit of redemption for grandy there. heh.

[veinup]

DAMN kanongatatata~

[veinup]

TRUMAINE JOHNSON CONTINUES TO TAZE *****ES

[BEAR]

THE SFA CURSE

[BEAR]

Trick plays. YIKES

[veinup]

peter nguyen TD, 17-0 griz pending extra point.

[BEAR]

Wow. 3 turnovers= 3 scores. sigh

[veinup]

i think i just saw my ex girlfriend in the student section, this could be a curse

[veinup]

**** luck for CAU so far. seems like they've got the ability to move the ball against us.. but they just keep turning it over.

[BEAR]

i think i just saw my ex girlfriend in the student section, this could be a curse

xlolx xlolx

[lionsrking2]

Wow. 3 turnovers= 3 scores. sigh

Now you know how we felt at your place.

[BEAR]

**** luck for CAU so far. seems like they've got the ability to move the ball against us.. but they just keep turning it over.

Who's CAU? Oh you mean UCA....xlolx Moving the ball will do no good against Montana..gotta get those points.

[BEAR]

Please no bubble screens. LOL

[veinup]

DANG HOUSTON.

[BEAR]

Well....we have a punter.

[veinup]

another great punt from the bears.. griz ball on the one

[BEAR]

Dang...those third downs killed us last week....

[veinup]

*wipes sweat from forehead*

[Phrebert]

Nice Punt...now we actually have to work at scoring...xlolx
OOPS

[veinup]

jordan johnson interception. not a great decision buddy.. :\

[BEAR]

INT....Go BEARS

[BEAR]

Wide open! Overthrown...easy TD...geez Nathan!

[veinup]

admirable attempt there, bears.

[BEAR]

Nice D by the grizzlies..nice hold.

[BEAR]

Alright..I feel better about our offense. We can move the ball...we're just killing ourselves...but that won't last all game.
Our defense has got to stop on 3rd down!

[veinup]

.we're just killing ourselves...but that won't last all game.

agreed. y'all are gonna get something going sooner or later. unless griz d just says no. ;)

[SeattleGriz]

WHY are the stands empty?

Having watched a couple games on ESPN3, they film the introductions before most of the fans are in the seats. Obviously, I am trying to say the pregame is not live.

[BEAR]

I guess running sideways is the new style of running...LOL

[veinup]

getting yards never goes outta style

[BEAR]

Having watched a couple games on ESPN3, they film the introductions before most of the fans are in the seats. Obviously, I am trying to say the pregame is not live.

Makes sense. Certainly NOT empty now.

[BEAR]

24-0 will be the back breaker.

[veinup]

i dunno about that, but as ESPN dude just said.... "these guys are smelling blood".

[BEAR]

THAT did it.

[veinup]

jordan canada TD run, 24-0 griz.

[BEAR]

So....who else is playing?! xlolx

[veinup]

ryan featherston smells the dick

[BEAR]

uh oh...a third down...

[BEAR]

INT...come on Bears! A flag...

[veinup]

JJ throws another INT, second this game, think that might be a record for him.

[BEAR]

Finally...a punt...xlolx

[veinup]

bears definitely starting to get after jordy right now.

[BEAR]

Nice punt.

[veinup]

how can these announcers keep not noticing who trumaine johnson is? really guys?

[BEAR]

Run plays...really?

[BEAR]

Was that a guy or girl? xlolx

[veinup]

my main concern right now is the pressure central arkansas is getting on jordan johnson. he's taken a couple rough hits. kid is injury prone.

[BEAR]

Jordan Johnson is throwing ropes....Don't worry about him.

[Cleets]

Oh... My... god...


(Ugh)

[veinup]

Jordan Johnson is throwing ropes....Don't worry about him.

as he has been the past several games. i'm not worried about his passing ability, i'm worried about his ability to get himself up off the ground after he gets knocked on his *** ten more times. you know, still a half of football left, but i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that we might need him around in a quarterfinal game. ;)

[veinup]

so what halftimes adjustments are going to be made, bears?

[veinup]

uca coach looking a bit perplexed.

[veinup]

jordan canada TD run, 38-0 montana. "central arkansas being handed it's hat and coat".

[Cleets]

Almost unwatchable at this point

[veinup]

not for me, man. not for me.

[Phrebert]

Time to get back to work...Good game Griz

[veinup]

dirty mcsurdy picks up another UCA fumble.

[veinup]

take jordan johnson out of the game.

[veinup]

jesse grandy gets UCA on the board on a long play action pass. 38-7 montana.

[veinup]

gerald kemp (tazed kid #2) runs for a first down.

gerald eating up yards.

[veinup]

brody mcknight FG, 41-7 MT, fourth quarter.

[dgreco]

How much time left? ESPN scorecenter is all messed up.

[veinup]

11:21 left. UCA 0/8 on 3rd down conversions.

[BEAR]

0-8 on third downs for UCA....unreal.

[veinup]

"1) If we lose, then we get to see what it takes to move on in the playoffs. Valuable insight."

looks like we'll be going with #1 of what you like about this game..

[veinup]

good call to take jordy out and put nate montana in.

[BEAR]

Trash time xlolx

[BEAR]

Ya think?...xlolx

[BEAR]

THrow the flag on 86!

[BEAR]

Dam* he looks like Joe Montana! xlolx

[BEAR]

Looks like Montana is losing linemen....

[BEAR]

Alright Nathan...let's get some trash points...xlolx

[veinup]

Alright Nathan...let's get some trash points...xlolx

it'll happen. ;)

[BEAR]

Woooo hooooo against the freshmen! xlolx

[veinup]

CA converts their first third down with five minutes remaining.

[BEAR]

TD UCA! Nice trash time catch...xlolx

[veinup]

what if UCA had just played against the griz 2nd unit the entire game? things could've been different!

[veinup]

mannnnnnn i wish i was in missoula right now. :(

[BEAR]

dennard hit that one!

[veinup]

defo

[dgreco]

score/time?

[veinup]

nate montana taking a knee for montana. game over. 41-14 UM final.

[BEAR]

That bad start for the Bears was the big difference in this game. Those huge o-linemen eventually wore down the defense that had been on the field all game. What was it? 95 offensive plays for Montana....50 for UCA? xlolx. Lack of third down conversion for UCA was huge too. Great game Montana. You deserved this win anyway!

[veinup]

UCABEAR, way to hang in and watch the game till the end. + rep for you. winning at Wa-Griz is never easy. that first quarter was brutal for you guys. today just wasn't your day, but i look forward to your program getting more playoff games in the future.

[BEAR]

I don't think you'll see too many bad games like that from UCA. Next year will be tough without Nathan Dick and most of the o-line. Yeah, that first quarter's turnovers really took the wind out. Add to that the inability to move the ball on third down...makes for a combination that adds up to a "L".

[BEAR]

Anybody know where I can see some game stats?

[SeattleGriz]

Congratulations UCABear on your year. Always great to see a new team step up and make the FCS stronger.

[veinup]

i'd say look at montanagrizzlies.com within the next twenty minutes.

[Squealofthepig]

espn's box score: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=313370149

Agree on the first quarter; you started strong, forcing a three and out (as an illegal formation negated our first down on our opening drive)... then turned the ball over on the punt. It was 17-0 after the first quarter (with all points coming off turnovers), and that's a hard hole to put yourself in.

I thought the Bears did really well in the environment; I think there were only 2 false start penalties on the Bears, and one of those looked more like miscommunication than crowd noise. Your punter also had one hell of a day, and kicked the hell out of the ball. Dick looks to be a great quarterback, we got lucky with some well-thrown balls that were dropped.

Griz passing was a bit of a question mark. While we did running back by committee, some of our passing plays - especially the two pics that were thrown into double and then triple coverage - really left some of us scratching our heads.

Grats on a good season and coming this far this quickly - it looks like you guys have a lot to be proud of, and I hope your fans who made the trip to Missoula had a good time despite the loss!

[BEAR]

Nice way to sum it up. The noise or the cold apparently didn't have an affect on the team as there were very few flags for motion. I think what got us was the 3 down conversions at critical times in the game. Run game held to 25 yards. Defense wore out by big nasty linemen. Montana was the better team but I think UCA hurt itself greatly in the first quarter. Some observations:

I'm not sure Grandy touched the punt by Montana but it was hard to tell on espn3. Anybody see that for sure? Not that it matters in the end but replays showed he didn't touch it just reached for it. I guess I'll see on the coaches show and replays on channel 6 here.

The Montana TD in the endzone that flew out of bounds after the catch...or whatever that was. Was it a catch. They didn't replay it to tell if it was. Again, no biggie just wondering what the ref saw.

Loved seeing the d-linemen pushing Nathan in the first quarter after the play. He came up on him like 3 seperate times after the play. I was laughing so hard in disbelief. I wanted Nathan to "flop" like they do in the NBA to get a flag. xlolx Just kidding.

Enjoyable game and well predicted by Montana fans...oh and I also saw where Montana State slipped by UNH...good football there in Montana!

[Squealofthepig]

good football there in Montana!

And Carroll College (Helena) won in their NAIA playoff game today too, and will play Saint Xavier in that championship division. Carroll is the reigning NAIA champ.

Sure didn't look like a TD but...who knows. Only showed 2 replays I think.

The UCA fans that I met were great. Nothing but good things to say about the town/fans.
