Montana/Oklahoma Panhandle game?

[UNHFan]

Oklahoma Panhandle State WHAT!!! Thats it! xsplatx I am rooting for Appalachian State now!!!

Oklahoma Panhandle Football claims to be d2 but they really aren't, they play a few NAIA Schools and a few at best I can call Local Colleges that found uniforms? Check out Cole College Football Website http://www.biokats.com/ccjaguars/football.html

Really Montana?? This has to be a Ransom game...Can only imagine the pictures someone at Okla Panny must have. xasswhipx

Somebody please explain this game to me And keep your UNH NAIA Stadium jokes to yourself!! xlolx

I was sold as soon as I saw they have a "meats" lab. I'm all in with Oklahoma Panhandle.

We played them twice. We ended our winless streak down there after changing coaches- the next year beat them so badly in Kato that the game went to running time.

[UNHFan]

OH! I see.. Minnesota State played them. I loved the Show Coach!

So I have a slogan for them... "The Special OPS of Goodwell Oklahoma" Get it ? OPS Oklahoma Panhandle State? I can just hear Brent Musburger now! "You are looking live at Grizzly Stadium where the Grizzlies of Montana are set to take on the perennial walk on and parents pay for the uni-forms...... The Special OPS from Goodwell Oklahoma" There will be a slight delay since the parents have yet to drop off enough players to start the game. Take it way back to the studio!

[Laker]

This is the sport that they have had the most success in:

I checked out OPSU and Goodwell, Ok, YIKES!!! If I played there I'd glady take an 11 game road slate.

OK I know I am making a joke and probably pissing off some people.. I promise ill stop but cant any Montana Fan post why this game is taking place? Joking-aside there has to be a story here... could be all good who knows?

This is the OPSU stadium.

If they aren't the worst team in D-II they are close. They played one or two D-II teams last year, a bunch of NAIA teams and another school that is basically a High School. Montana could beat then by 100 if they want- in the 1st half.

[UNHFan]

Cool they use the football field to train the OPS D1 Fly Fishing team.. good way to save moneyxlolx

Still no Montana Responses xbangx

[superman7515]

What is there to respond to? The fans didn't schedule the game. The players didn't schedule the game. Although they are most likely allowed some input, the coaches didn't schedule the game.

[UNHFan]

Superman I know that.. so does everyone else. When it comes to FCS Football the local fans know more details, you cant google it and find out why this game is even being played! So I am sure many in MT know more xcoffeex

isn't there a sexual thing called the Montana/ oklahoma panhandle? if there's not there should be.

OH Man!!Thats cold!! TRUE!! But Cold.. Ill go with the joke :) See Bozo's I hold the App States and Montana's as the Alabama's of the FCS so rather then responding like sissy puppies like someone took your lollipops how you cant see how wrong this game is boggles my mind. Play a real D2 team if you have to do it!

[UNHFan]

Meh, just don't see the big deal with it.

I was sold as soon as I saw they have a "meats" lab. I'm all in with Oklahoma Panhandle.

I am also intrigued by these meat labs.

From their website "Students are provided educational opportunity to learn all aspects of the meat processing industry while working in the lab. It also serves the community by sponsoring interscholastic meat evaluation contests each year and also provides workouts for local meat judging teams." WTF are "interscholastic meat evaluation contests" and where do I sign up?

[Bisonoline]

0/27/2012 - Homecoming vs. Southwest Assemblies of God, 1:00pm kickoff

Is that a local church?

King of the Hill, Bobby was doing it in school. Had to get all dressed up like a FDA inspector and check for the marbling of the meats and everything.

[Franks Tanks]

Damm I would've been Phi Beta Kappa if I knew about the meat evaluation course of study.

I assume this has something to do with the grades put on beef by the govt., but I picture a bunch of dudes sitting around eating steak. That appeals to me.

[TheRevSFA]

OPSU used to be a great football school back in the day but has fallen on hard times

[Laker]

Oh yes. My brother was in meats judging when he was in high school. I was in soil judging contest at the state level, and also the farm management contest there. Actually I had a lot of fun in FFA- especially with the Chapter Sweetheart.

Hey.. Just make sure at least 1/2 the team is there before you kick off!! Hey why not take on D3 Mount Union?? It would be a great gage ... they are amazing and I am sure would give UNH's D a run for its money!!!

[Southern Bison]

We played them twice. We ended our winless steak down there.

FIFY

[putter]

Actually the bigger joke is on us, the season ticket holders. When I get my bill for my tickets and they are going to charge me $26 to witness this slaughter...that is the travesty of it all.

[TheBisonator]

Goodwell, Oklahoma has a population of 1,322 people. Maybe really only kids who grew up on the ranch/farm would go there.

[uofmman1122]

Really wished they would have bought out of this game and gotten another DI home game, but it's not likely.

I heard through the grapevine they contacted a few FCS schools, but none wanted to come out for just the trip; they all wanted home and homes. Guess our AD thought this was a better alternative. :pumpuke:

UM... "You Guys" Your pulling for teeth dbackjon this site is not the place to ruffle feathers. Read my post.....what was meant to be a real College FB post was responded with lunacy.. Go to any FBS site like this. You will find a post like mine debated and so overly analyzed will make your head spin. But thats what we love!! As College Football Fans :) Here? Comical love this site and many did post comments I love (May not agree) but love! You can see the dweebs who are just a gene away from going postal! ...Make a point.. dweebs take it defensively and make no sense is what I see here. Long live AGS! I fly the flag at UNH Games :)

After the past season, there has been next to nothing about the Griz on this board for weeks, much to the relief of many, I'm sure. So does this thread mean they are seen as relevant again?

Montana is always relevant.

[GABison]

Hmm, kind of makes the Minot State (DII) vs Montana State game a year or two ago look pretty good. Surprised your AD couldn't have gotten a Northern Sun team to come out to Missoula for their "big" game much like NDSU in 2002.

That won't happen anymore. With 16 teams in the NSIC there are no more nonconference football games. I don't like it but that's the way it is.

[GABison]

Good point, but what is Montana paying for a game? I am guessing any one of the NSIC teams could use a $100,000 (or whatever) shot in the arm. Something they probably wouldn't make just paying each other.

All I know is.. with in probably minutes!! UNH announcing the Ohio College game...It was done finished cancelled!!!! The outrage from our fans and media killed this game within minutes...and we are nothing compared to Montana!!... Just do me a favor... please make sure the whole team is there before kick off please! If anyone has a heart you donate to the team...Not even sure this team has washing machines for there uniforms...

[UNHFan]

Carroll College in Montana NAIA is Alabama compared to OPS.. why not play them? Montana vs Kitchen Cleaners Union 2014? OPS couldnt beat me and my local friends on a Hangover sunday

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Why not play Carroll? Well they average 6K for home games, have corporate sponsers that like those home games along with the fans, and also have the ability to actually pay a D2 team to come in and play at their house. Other than the flight it's probably easier to get UNH here than Carroll .

You've said you wanted to have some serious discussion and yet you keep trying to troll for something that no one is taking so again good luck with it.

Any D2 game does absolutely nothing for our schedule so it doesn't matter how good or how crappy they are.

Montana better watch out. Check out the 2012 OPSU recruiting class

http://www.opsu.edu/Athletics/Football/?page=Signees

A quick count indicates 87 recruits in one year, yes 87!


The reality is that Montana players, coaches and fans probably hate this game more than anyone. Sucks they couldn't find a better team to come to Wa-Griz.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Is it. I know they played them last year. Doesn't mean you see them wanting to play Montana or that they don't ask for a decent amount to do so. It's been published several times that the Athletic Dept. at both schools has no real desire to play each other.

I had this back & forth with JALMOND a couple years back on CS and if you feel like recounting it then you can find it on Champsub somewhere.

The point stands until the two schools decide they do want to schedule each other. Carroll doesn't have a need or want to play MSU or UM from what I've seen. They don't view PSU in the same way.

But if Carroll is willing to play PSU, why not play UM or MSU?
Travel costs would be much less and the payout would probably be more, plus Carroll would most likely sell their entire allotment of visitor tickets.
and it would be a better match up then panhandle state @ UM!!!

I will venture a guess that panhandle state has fantastic food at their tailgates!!!

[NHwildEcat]

I wish UNH would travel to Montana for a game...that would be fun.

But as mentioned in this very thread, if all the FCS teams told Montana that they wanted a return home game to go out there I can see why they just grab anyone they can.

Is Idaho busy? You could talk them into it, no one else will play them and they need a schedule.

As I said I don't remember all the details but there was a similar thread on it over on Champsub when PSU scheduled them and there was talk that Montana & MSU were afraid to schedule them so I posted the article from the IR that said this was more from Carroll's side not UM or MSU's side. I don't know the reason. I can't remember The Saints scheduling any FCS teams prior to the PSU game in the last 25-30 yrs. They just don't schedule FCS teams in general.

I'd love to have UNH on the schedule as well and it would be good to see but the H&H with E. Coast teams is probably done for a while with the Hofstra & Maine games with that whole fiasco.

Now that the WAC is dead and that conference rule that wouldn't allow ID to travel to Missoula that would definitely have been a good way to go had that foresight been there.

You are right I do not remember Carroll scheduling Div 1's very often. The Carroll\PSU game was an anomolly on Carroll's schedule.
I may be wrong on this, but I think the fan interest in a Carroll\UM game would be high.
Many of the fans may know each other and many would be fans of both teams.

Yeah, I wish I could have made it out. It may be awhile before I get out to too many road games with a baby due in May...of course I will have someone to drag with me all over the northeast and midwest once they get older!
