Griz vs. Bison Schedule Of Events

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Decided just to start a new thread so the schedule would be in first post on the thread.



Here's the lay out for Thursday night through Kickoff on Saturday.

---------------THURSDAY---------------
Double Front Chicken @ 6:30p Mountain on Thursday 08/27/2015::

Double Front Chicken for a meet up on Thursday night with Griz and any Bison fans that can make it. We will be in the basement (bar) of this fabulous little Chicken house starting at 6-7p.

---------------FRIDAY---------------
Charlie B's/Dino Cafe @ 11:30a Mountain on Friday 08/28/2015:

Friday at 11:30a there will be a lunch gathering at the Dinosaur Cafe which is inside the magnificent Missoula landmark known as Charlie B's. Don't show up late or you will be ****ing yourself out of some good eats because you will put yourself in a long line and you don't have that kind of time to spare...trust me. It's just a couple blocks from Double Front as well.

---------------
Red's Bar @ 12:30p Mountain on Friday 08/28/2015:

Immediately after having some really solid comfort food the fun shifts over to Red's Bar in beautiful downtown Missoula. If I need to explain Red's Bar you are a newb or a rube and in either case you should just keep yer mouth shut and go along and pretend you know about it. It's only one of the best and most fun places on earth. This is where we will be hopping on a Griz party bus to do a tour of some breweries and then take a run by the stadium and get a look at a few things around the Athletic Dept.

The bus ends about 5p and after that the plan is just a free for all so you NDSU folks can grab a Mo Burger and have some beers at the downtown pub crawl which involves many, many bars.

---------------SATURDAY---------------
Tailgates starting @ 9:30s Mountain on Friday 08/29/2015:

Ok, this is it, this is what we've all benn waiting for. This is your chance NDSU fans to come grab a seat in the finest, loudest, coldest, bestest stadium this country has to offer. You will feel proud to be an American once you enter vernerable Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Just before that though we will raise some plastic cups together and then at 1/2 time we will again raise some cups. We're not the sort of folks that think we need to hold ya hostage at 1/2 time.

You can pre party at almost any bar in Missoula and they will have a bus to take you to the game. The buses leave the bars about an hour and a half before kickoff normally but if you just want to head right to the stadium that is where the fun will be getting rolling at around the apointed time above.

Here are some friends of AGS and their tailgat locations. They will be happy to see you if you stop by to say hello. You are all welcome to come by the one marked with my username and have some food and beer on me and my friends at the Otis tailgate. The map below has the two tailgates as well as several other key lacations for you to set your bearings with.

I really want to take that stadium tour so I'll probably catch you somewhere on the bus tour unless I can hustle it from the airport quickly enough.

[tomq04]

Looks like someone will be having a great time!

I'll have to make it over for an EWU game some day when the kids are older.

Just have to be at the Adams Center around 3p to catch that.

[veinup]

[TheRevSFA]

[PantherRob82]

Wow, sounds like a great time. Wish I was heading out there, kicking myself right now reading that list of pregame festivities.

You still have at least 48 hours before you'd have to leave.


Just sayin....

If I could go I would be very tempted right now. Missoula is the one FCS road trip I've always wanted to do, next time I guess.

That's how Red's is for me. xlolx

[grizband]

Ursus, is there an itinerary for the brewery tour? I won't be available until about 1:00, but I'd love to meet up with some fellow Griz and Bison fans!

[Hambone]

I was out there some years ago when UND played there and those Griz fans are very good hosts. We went to the bar on Friday afternoon with UND gear on and after the first pitcher we didn't buy another drink all night. Every tailgating rig we walked by the next morning invited us over for food and beer, and to tour their rigs. Loved the whole weekend up there.

[McNeese72]

xthumbsupx Red's Bar.

Remember it well from the Friday night before the playoff game in 2006. Montana fans wouldn't let the McNeese fans buy a drink. :)

Definitely recommend going there.

I regret not bringing my camera that night.

So I should count myself lucky that my hotel is only a few blocks from Reds?

Either way, I'm going wherever citdog's going.

Not really, just get on the bus and head to a few places is all I got. Think we'll be at UM around 3 or 330 and back at Red's around 430.

[BisonFan02]

Wheels up tomorrow morning....12ish hours later I'll be there. :D

Tomorrow is going to be the longest day ever.

Thanks Ursus. Any idea what breweries will be on the tour? Either way, I'll try to meet up with the group at some point.

[Uncle Rico's Clan]

A couple tips for our out of town guests, both Charlie B's and Mo Club are cash only. Both have ATM's, but if you want to avoid paying high fees you may want to bring a little cash with you. Although, as mentioned above, if you wear your Bison gear you will probably have a few drinks purchased for you.

Also, River City Roots Festival begins this Friday, and runs through Sunday. A number of streets in downtown Missoula will be shut down for this event. You may want to keep this in mind since Missoula will most likely be a huge cluster **** this weekend, with longer than usual travel times, wait times for restaurants, and parking issues. It would be wise to give yourself a little extra time whenever possible.

No, I assume a couple of the usual's but Alpha put this together so other than departure time I don't know much except that we went out to the one on Expressway last time for a while and had a tour.

Thanks man. I'll message alpha for info. Hope to see you guys along the way!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

So I'm coming in (late) tonight instead, still room on that bus?

[dewey]

Have a great time tonight guys/gals!

I really wish I could have made the trip.

The bus sounded to be pretty full when I talked to Alpha yesterday but I and maybe a couple others will just stay at Red's for a bit and grab a Mountainline down to the school to meet up with the party bus for the Stadium tour and so forth.

BTW NDSU folks, all the Blue Buses (MLine) are free fare. Go to their website and you should fine it really easy to get downtown or to UM very easily without driving.

Also, the river walk path is a very easy walk from downtown to WaGriz as well and a pretty nice scenic walk through town.

[IBleedYellow]

We're leaving in about 2 hours.

Waahooo! This is gun be gud!

That's what I figured. I didn't want to commit to anything in case I couldn't make it. This whole **** show with my flight has me sleeping on a floor tonight. Oh well, never too old to crash on a floor I guess.

I'm only a few blocks from there so I'll come on by anyway.

If you grabbed the Hotel I mentioned a while back on here then you are only a few blocks from everything I have on the itinerary, including the tailgates and the walking path is right out the back door as well. Getting around Missoula without a car is very easy.

I'm at the Red Lion so it seems I'm only a few blocks from Red's.

[Bisonator]

Wish I could have made the trip too. Sounds like it'll be a blast! Hope everyone has a great time and safe travels!

[Wofford Dude from Montana]

Wofford Dude from Montana has landed. please say HOWDY if you see me walking around town, and at Red's. (That is my old Wofford banner hanging framed at Red's.) Best weekend of my football travels was 2007, when Griz Nation treated me like a king here in town. Still licking my wounds from loss at Fargo Dome in 2012. May all teams make a deep run in playoffs this year, and hope to see Griz vs Wofford one day in Frisco. Congrads to Bisons who a true dynasty, and world class fans from reports, but hoping for a close thrilling game on Saturday. I'll be in the north endzone with all the crazies. GO GRIZ!

[tomq04]

Everyone survive so far?

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Got drunk dialed by Ursus last night. I feel like I've made it.

[Mr. C]

Anyone know the television details for the game for those of us stuck on the east coast?

[dewey]

Go Bison!

[grizband]

Can someone post updates when you guys change locations? Talked to alpha, find to meet up along the way

[Bisonoline]

Great time. The Grizz are great hosts. Lots of fun and laughs on the bus. Ursus and A1 thanks for everything.
