Agreed. Wa-Griz looked great again. Seeing a game there (early in the season) is on my bucket list.

Thank you, Butters. I hope we did the FCS proud, and that ESPN caught the atmosphere about what true playoff football should be about (great, loud fans; a great atmosphere; and an inhospitable environment composed of hospitable fans). Good luck versus Lehigh tomorrow, and I'll be watching your game as closely as you guys were watching ours tonight!

C'mon man, that was one senior citizen alum from Norfolk. Don't bring the whole school into it. xsmhx

A friend of mine called me last night after watching the game and said "WOW!" He had no idea that FCS football was that popular and fans loved it so much. Montana your game on ESPN, the great crowd, the talented football team, and the enthusiasm of it all might have swayed some FBS fans to enjoy some FCS football along with their FBS games. Now if ESPN will show more games and not ones with 250 fans in the stands. xlolx
Reps to the Griz!

Ya, the Grizz have one of the best (if not the best) venues in FCS football.
Very good team this year and a passionate fanbase.
Great representation of FCS football last night.

I'll add my praise and say it looked great. That game was easily better than many of the mid-week games shown on ESPN throughout football season. I'd like to see ESPN do an FCS Game of the week on Friday night at one of the better venues: Montana, NDSU, App St., ODU, JMU, UD, GSU, McNeese, etc. That's at least 8 games right there.

I think we can all agree on that! xthumbsupx

If we all applied constant pressure similar to the effort given to get the games on ESPN gamelan, we could make it happen. It would need to be nationwide pressure.

Lately I have been able to find some on the cable, saw EWU v Northern AZ and a Cal Poly game, but I agreee I would love to see more MVFC and SC games through the year.

Atmosphere was awesome for FCS and the Griz looked REALLY good last night. I am rooting for an MSU rematch just to see that atmosphere again next week.

Good job Montana!!! I cannot wait to to get my Montana-UND tickets for next season. Keep representing the Big Sky in the playoffs, and good luck today to Montana State as well.

I was out for most of the night, but turned the game on with about 10 min to go, right around when the Grizz got a pick 6, anted damn that place was on fire. I don't think you could have picked a better game to put on national TV. Talk about representing the FCS right, wow. To anyone out there (GSU, NDSU, or any of the first round sites) upset that you didn't get an ESPN game, replicate that and then we'll talk
