Go Griz!!

[asucrutch23]

Now that the Mountaineers are out, it's time to pledge allegiance to another team for the remainder of the playoffs. For me, that team is none other than the Montana Grizzlies. It has nothing to do with any grudges against JMU or the CAA. It has everything to do with the fact that I have found Montana's fans for the most part to be respectful of other schools and their athletic programs (you Bobcat fans may disagree). I also have the utmost respect for UM's undying love for their football program. I'd expect to see quite a contingent in Harrisonburg next weekend. Beating the Dukes will be a tough task (trust me I was there), but the Griz can do it.

App had a great run and will go down in the history books as one of the greatest FCS teams ever. I was lucky enough to be a freshman in 2005. It's been an awesome time (such a great time, I think I'll stick around for another fall semester :) ), but it had to end some time. Congrats to the Mountaineers on their great 4 years. xbowx xbowx xbowx

As far as Montana goes, if you make it to Chattanooga, I'll be there in a Griz shirt (I have a friend that goes there) and an App hat. Good luck to all the teams remaining in the playoffs, but I'll be cheering for the Griz! xthumbsupx

[DuckDuckGriz]

Thanks crutch. No one thought this very young Montana team would get this far so JMU is a TALL order but we'll do our best. Congrats on another incredible season in Boone.

GO GRIZ!

Woot! Woot!

Let's keep this gravy train rollin'!

App State was the best in the last 4 years with 3 National Championships.

BUT, they are not the best Team ever in the FCS.

Reading comprehension much? ONE OF THE BEST. Trust me, I know the history of FCS.

Montana eh? I remember watching a game against them in 2004; we ended up dancing in the endzones...repeat?

Hopefully not. But hope we play the same swiss cheese secondary (jk). If I am not mistaken this is the first time Montana has played in the state of Virginia.

I'm behind the Griz now that Weber's out. One last BSC team in it... get them Dukes this time! xthumbsupx

As a proud mountaineer and fellow student, I too would like to say, "GO GRIZ!!!" Go beat JMU next week!

[mlbowl]

oh yeah....and GO Griz!!!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I know I'm reaching, but the Griz winning today had me thinking. What if Eastern didn't beat Weber in the final week of the season? Weber likely would have gotten the seed over Montana, and this game would have been played in Ogden. The noise intensity definitely affected Weber. Wonder what would have happened if the game had been played outside of WA-Griz?

Either way, Griz fans should be kissing EWU's azz! :p

[GaSouthern]

GO GET EM GRIZ!

[Drblankstare]

Congrats to the Griz. I will happily eat some crow, I didnt think there was any way they would make it this deep.

[mlbowl]

Either way, Griz fans should be kissing EWU's azz! :p

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I certainly appreciated itxnodx

Griz fans will be eternally grateful, eternity lasting until next October:D
Seriously, EWU fans, next year any EWU fans I see at the game in Missoula the beer is on me.

Weber is a very good team. If this game is in Ogden I don't know how it turns out - As EWU fans can attest, it still likely would have been close to or more than 50% Griz fans, so almost a neutral field, but Weber has major talent that is very hard to stop.

I hope Glanville can get things turned round in Portland Like McBride did in Ogden. If he does, combined with the improvements in the program at SAC and UNC having a breakthrough year next year (I am on record predicting the Bears get 5 - 6 wins in '09), plus a very good coach at ISU who needs a couple years to turn things around, and the BSC could be the best in the country and could easily have 3 - 4 teams in the tournament in a couple years.

[Mntneer]

I can get behind the Griz. Personally, I'm pulling for them and Richmond going forward.

Well pending I have leave then (I'm going into the AF after I graduate), I'll be there in Missoula to watch Nichols try to beat the Griz in his final year. I'll take a pitcher of Moose Drool or Dirty Bong Water! xthumbsupx

As for 3-4 BSC teams making the playoffs in a couple years... I really, really REALLY doubt it.

[Eaglegus2]

Well you can make that 3 App fans. xthumbsupx


Okay, I will add you to my list of trusted App fans.:D xthumbsupx xnodx xnodx

Thanks screamer, we'll need to play a flawless game at JMU.

[Hellgate60]

I like all the new Griz avatars! Go Griz

[Appalachian]

Go Griz! Having made the trip to Missoula in 2000, I saw first hand your passion for your team and really enjoyed Washington Griz. Stadium, just didn't like the outcome of the game. I have tickets for Chattanooga and will attend if Montana makes it. I was really hoping for an ASU-Montana final, it would have been an awesome amosphere.

I think I can speak on behalf of all Griz fans in saying yes, we're all quite thankful!

If this game had been played at Weber there would have been 12,000 Griz fans that would have made the trip. It would still have been loud.xthumbsupx xlolx

How about this one?

How about this one?Woot woot! xthumbsupx

[Grizaholic17]

JMU brings with them talent and speed that Montana is not too familiar with. I hope this week is a good one in terms of film and practice for our griz...and i'll be talking to the players and getting their opinions for sure. I have butterflies already.

Thanks for all your guys' support. It means a lot.

GO GRIZ

From 2004 JMU had more muscle, and we had the speed. Thats not the point though. Thanks for all the support!

[Mountain Panther]

I concur. Go Griz.

[Dukes_Bando]

But hope we play the same swiss cheese secondary (jk).
Yep same secondary, just different players... That's our Mick's way of defending the pass:(


You don't have chicken wire on your field....do you?
oh god no, I was on the field in chatty with the band in 2004... that was a mess. we have pretty new field turf that replaced our old astro-turf with "the crown" after the 2005 season.

[slostang]

I am pulling for a Montana/UNI final. Gotta pull for the teams from the west.

Love it! Me too.

Themes for this weekend:

Montana: Wagons EAST!

Richmond: Go west, young men.

[StrikeJMU]

You don't have chicken wire on your field....do you?

i feel for you about the chicken wire in 2004, that had to suck for everyone. must say that I had a great time partying with Montana fans after the game at the hotel...no matter what happens in Chatty, there is always an after-party.

True...BOTH teams had to play on it....that was just crappy for a National Championship game.xnodx

I wanna know who thought it was a good idea.xrolleyesx
