I hope you are correct about Montana winning in the fourth Qtr.
I think hauck will have the Griz playing better late in games which will be the difference in alot of games.

WIU has reverse home field advantage. The last two years we're 10-4 in games on the road and 6-0 in regular season OOC games. For comparison, we're only 4-5 at home in the same span. Only road games we lost last year were at NDSU and at Weber State in the playoffs.

Given that UND is a part of the conference schedule for the next two years and there games count as conference games. Could we include UND with the Big Sky threads. Overwise, I see can see a bunch of UND threads getting locked because of …. well we have all seen the end result of that activity too may times. TV - Midco and I think a good chance of Fox Sports E/C or Pacific or ESPN 3.

I expect a full report from CLENZ on his Devils

All picks from VB agreed upon.

[VandalBasher]

My picks are literally bold. It would be an incredible weekend to take down three FBS teams. But, these are the teams ripe for an upset.

[JALMOND]

9:00 PM Portland State @ Nevada

If that were to happen, we would certainly have the Rubber Duckies' attention the next week, that is for sure (and probably most of Portland, too).
