GAME THREAD: JMU vs Montana

[gbhmt]

Northern Iowa's been in the semi's seven straight times? Did I hear that right from the guy on TV?

They weren't even in the playoffs in '04...

[Hoyadestroya85]

Let's go dukes!

[Houndawg]

Because the winner gets an extra day to prep for the championship game.

I think at this point the extra day rest means more.

[bobbythekidd]

The people watching this game are watching a FCS game.

I am not saying........I am just saying.
That is true for the next 5 minutes. Then football fans will change the channel to a football game being aired live. It just happens that they will see a good/close game.

[Reign of Terrier]

I say they just need to score more points. TOP can be misleading.

Kind of like how numbers don't win a battle, but they sure do help.

[gbhmt]

Not nearly the same.

It cost us seven points. Period.

[LehighFan11]

Landers?

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

If Landers doesn't play the Dukes are cooked....

[MTBison]

Very nice return for the Griz.

[gbhmt]

Landers?

Hasn't come out of the locker room.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Wow.. if Rodney doesn't come out.. that's the story of the year

[coover]

Landers?

Looks like No Landers.

[th0m]

It cost us seven points. Period.

Right. And the INT could've been seven, the first fumble results in a score for UM, and the third fumble leads us not to score. Not even mentioning if Landers doesn't come back, throw out a LOT more points.

I lost count of points. xcoffeex

[slostang]

Big drive for the Griz.

[UNIFanSince1983]

I thought the backup did a pretty good job in the couple of plays he was in the first half. That pass that was picked wasn't very bad, just a pretty good defensive play.

[Hoyadestroya85]

poor spot

[gbhmt]

Right. And the INT could've been seven, the first fumble results in a score for UM, and the third fumble leads us not to score. Not even mentioning if Landers doesn't come back, throw out a LOT more points.

I lost count of points. xcoffeex

The pick was thrown into perfect coverage. Best you can get out of that is an incompletion. On third down, so that can be three at the most.

[slostang]

Good enough spot if you are a Griz fan.

[LehighFan11]

landers is done

[gbhmt]

Landers is done...

[slostang]

Landers in street clothes.

[HiHiYikas]

Rodney out of uniform on the sideline?!?!?!

[JMU DJ]

Well,that's it for landers

[Reign of Terrier]

DUM DUM DUM Landers in street clothes!!!!

[WOCO]

its over. no rl

[bobbythekidd]

Does any one have any complaints about the Zebras in the first half? I know there were some calls for a pass interference call, but I didn't see it. Other than that; it looks clean to me.

[uofmman1122]

Uh oh....Landers not looking good.

[slostang]

TD Montana.

[Hoyadestroya85]

damn reynolds is awesome

[coover]

Big drive for the Griz.

Really big .TD

[bobbythekidd]

UM goes to Chatty. This one is over.

[gbhmt]

Chase Reynolds scores....xcoffeex

IN THE AIR?!?!?!

[Reign of Terrier]

TOUCHDOWN MONTANA!!!!

[T-Dog]

App references: 2
BCS references: 0
Heisman references: 0
Jeff Fisher references: 12
Chicken pox of the eye: 1

[slostang]

Let go Griz, lets go!!!!!!!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

TD Griz!!

The Dukes are in deep *****...

[HiHiYikas]

Landers out...UM long TD pass.

I will say this...it's better when your 65-80% QB is on the sidelines in street clothes than when he's in the game tossing up INT's.

[uofmman1122]

WOOT WOOT!! REYNOLDS CAN DO IT ALL!!!!!

[Houndawg]

Does any one have any complaints about the Zebras in the first half? I know there were some calls for a pass interference call, but I didn't see it. Other than that; it looks clean to me.

No penalties on either team in the first half. That can be good or bad. TD Griz.

[Skjellyfetti]

A freaking TON of weight on the shoulders of this backup JMU QB. Let's see what the future of the Dukes looks like.

[WOCO]

time to turn to basketball

[Reign of Terrier]

I think Montana is forizzle. (Landers doesn't play defense)

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Landers still had his football pants on but he did look done....

[SideLine Shooter]

UM goes to Chatty. This one is over.

Blow them OUT Griz.

[T-Dog]

Reminds me of when Richie went down in the 05 semis. The defense stepped up huge and Trey Elder did enough to win the game.

The JMU defense is going to have to stop Montana and the offense is going to have to do something.

[19Duke97]

A freaking TON of weight on the shoulders of this backup JMU QB. Let's see what the future of the Dukes looks like.

He's going to be good, but this is a lot to ask...

[UMStudent]

I can't keep up with this thred F$%% it I'm done I'm just goin to watch the game peace

[JMU DJ]

My god... I can't watch this anymore

[gbhmt]

ANOTHER STRIP

[19Duke97]

&#@5

[BeauFoster]

A freaking TON of weight on the shoulders of this backup JMU QB. Let's see what the future of the Dukes looks like.

JMU should get a good look at what they will be next year.

And another TO!

[Reign of Terrier]

Fumble. Montana Ball. this is fun to watch

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

LOL...BYE BYE DUKES!!!

[Skjellyfetti]

THE FUMBLIN' DUKES ARE BACK!!!!

CONFIRMED!!

[bobbythekidd]

I can't keep up with this thred F$%% it I'm done I'm just goin to watch the game peace
Too soon!!! You just got the ball back!

[Appalachian]

Ouch, turnovers!

[Hoyadestroya85]

WOOOOOOW... dammit dukes.. wtf

[Jackman]

Good lord. JMU fans living a nightmare.

[coover]

Landers still had his football pants on but he did look done....

JMU is done.

[uofmman1122]

Ouch....4 TO's.

[appstate38]

4 TO's and counting!!!!

[SideLine Shooter]

Reminds me of when Richie went down in the 05 semis. The defense stepped up huge and Trey Elder did enough to win the game.

The JMU defense is going to have to stop Montana and the offense is going to have to do something.

That is the first thing I thought of.

[Appaholic69]

Hell Yes!!!!!!!
Can you smeeeelllllllll what the Griz are cookin'?

[slostang]

Blow them OUT Griz.

Another fumbled kickoff return for JMU. They just might.

[19Duke97]

Dam we look like Appy from last week

[Reign of Terrier]

The tight end caught it!;)

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

xeekx

[Hoyadestroya85]

Good lord. JMU fans living a nightmare.

now they know how it feels...

[CatMom07]

For someone with no real stake in this game I sure am having fun watching it. xlolx

Superman is human after all :D

[slostang]

How about the western FCS. Way to go Griz.

[19Duke97]

now they know how it feels...

We felt this all last year...

[gbhmt]

The tight end caught it!;)

Different TE

Speaking of, that TE scored.

[GSU Eagle]

Between JMU turning the ball over left and right and Landers out it would take a super effort to get back in this one.

[Houndawg]

Pound it Griz.

[coover]

TD Montana

[Reign of Terrier]

Touchdown Griz

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That should be the nail in the coffin....

[JMU DJ]

This is just getting embarrassing

[slostang]

TD Montana. He!! yes.

[appstate38]

Ball game getting away from the Dukes.... quickly

[Hoyadestroya85]

damn..
Rodney may have to go in

[T-Dog]

That is the first thing I thought of.

Then again, the biggest deficit we had in that game was 2 points, not 18.

[SideLine Shooter]

Pound it Griz.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

[Houndawg]

It's not JMUs night, The Griz are the biggest WHITE boys iv'e ever seen on a 1AA football team, Not many brothers on the Griz?whats up with that?

:D Weather.

[soccerguy315]

no way close to the nail in the coffin... but JMU is in trouble

[Appaholic69]

Karma is looking to not be JMU's friend tonight

[uofmman1122]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

[Tribe4SF]

JMU caving. I guess we'll find out if Dudzik can play....if JMU ever goes on offense.

[SideLine Shooter]

Then again, the biggest deficit we had in that game was 2 points, not 18.

it was 4.

[gbhmt]

It's not JMUs night, The Griz are the biggest WHITE boys iv'e ever seen on a 1AA football team, Not many brothers on the Griz?whats up with that?

There are none in Montana.

[fcsfootball71]

what will mickey say after this game???

[Appaholic69]

I can smell an upset cookin'

[griz37]

WOOOOOOOOO. Thats all I can say I am so nervous & excited!!!

[BeauFoster]

Cue MM crying about losing another Championship because of an injury in 3...2...1...

[coover]

Not many brothers on the Griz?whats up with that?

Not many brothers in Montana. What do you expect them to do, recruit from California?

[OB55]

Nail, meet coffin. xcoolx

[JMU DJ]

Told you Coulson hates JMU more than Montana

[Check_YOSEF]

This is just getting embarrassing

...know how you feel!

[slostang]

what will mickey say after this game???

I have no idea, but I bet it will be interesting.

[Appaholic69]

I can't wait to hear how Matthews rationalizes this one!

[T-Dog]

it was 4.

It was 23-21, the only deficit we had that game. That lasted from halftime to 2 minutes left in the game.

[Grizaholic17]

Well, until that offense gets on the field. You cannot blame this game on Rod Landers being out. GO GRIZ

[GOKATS]

Total JMU FU so far.....................

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Does anyone know what the problem with Landers is? He didn't look like he had any problems walking.

[GSU Eagle]

We will see if JMU's back up quarterback can do anything.

[Grrrrriz]

And they said the western teams were no good.......... What now?

[Reign of Terrier]

D*mn big sky, you have such weak teams, you can't run with the CAA!!!:D

[griz37]

Long way to go guys. Lets go Defense!

[Houndawg]

Not many brothers in Montana. What do you expect them to do, recruit from California?

Why not? Everybody else does.

[uofmman1122]

Wow....interesting call.

[T-Dog]

UM is trying to strip the ball every play. Don't blame em.

[Houndawg]

Total JMU FU so far.....................

CAA teams only beat themselves.

[fcsfootball71]

way to represent the SEC....i mean CAA ;)

[GSU Eagle]

Let's go Montana, stick it to them

[app]

This game's in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jello's jigglin

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

What's with these short kicks? JMU is struggling on offense now without Landers and you give them the ball at midfield, DUMB.

[SideLine Shooter]

Why not? Everybody else does.

MSU does.xnodx

[dgreco]

UM just looks better so far tonight.

[dgreco]

nice run for holloman there though

[BEAR]

OUCH. From a newbie to the playoffs....all I can say is OUCH...what a difference a QB makes! Plus holding onto the ball helps..xnodx xlolx

[Hoyadestroya85]

Time for Drew Dudzik to build his legend

[Peems]

i'm still nervous!!!

[Reign of Terrier]

If Wofford can contain Mcgee decently so should Montana.

[uofmman1122]

I'm not about to say this game is over just yet.

JMU is good. We still have work to do.

[Big Al]

Not the answer to the question why the ESPN2 game vs the ESPN game.

I was only addressing the Friday night vs. Saturday day.

As to why the Ocho? Dunno.

[Hoyadestroya85]

What a run..

[Houndawg]

I'm not about to say this game is over just yet.

JMU is good. We still have work to do.

It would be a pretty serious choke to let it get away in this situation.xnodx

[GSU Eagle]

Nice run right there

[Reign of Terrier]

TD JMU, good run by the QB

[dgreco]

Time for Drew Dudzik to build his legend

TD helps.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

TD JMU!!

That was set up by horrible special teams by the Griz.

[bpcats]

This game ain't over.

[gbhmt]

Griz need a long TD drive to put it away.

[coover]

Only a TD and field goal and JMU leads!

[JMU DJ]

DUDZIK!!! Come on Dukes! Let's get a stop here (or hope for Montana to pull a JMU and fumble on the kickoff).

[uofmman1122]

It would be a pretty serious choke to let it get away in this situation.xnodxYou just want Montana to choke. xlolx

TD JMU. This game is not over.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Come on Dukes

[Reign of Terrier]

Only a TD and field goal and JMU leads!

you need more than that.

[Peems]

and that is why i'm still nervous

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Only a TD and field goal and JMU leads!

Wouldn't they still be down by 1 assuming they make an extra point?

[GOKATS]

Nice!! Go JMU!!!!!

[MTBison]

Griz need to put together a clock burnin' TD drive......

[Hoyadestroya85]

I want to be bitter about two heart crushing defeats.. but this JMU team has so much F*%#ing heart

[gbhmt]

Griz need to put together a clock burnin' TD drive......

You got it.

[coover]

you need more than that.

My bad. i was thinking it was a 9 pt lead. That from a Math major. I guess I get an F.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

LOL...the special teams especially the KO teams are terrible...

[LehighFan11]

LOL...the special teams especially the KO teams are terrible...

Yea u said it.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Great penetration

[JMU DJ]

Janikowski needs to quit doing so many keg stands and focus on his position.

[gbhmt]

LOL...the special teams especially the KO teams are terrible...

No they just don't want to kick to each other. UM knew about McGee before and I guess it took a big return from Mariani for Matthews to get it.

[GSU Eagle]

JMU gets a stop here this could be a game

[SideLine Shooter]

I think I'll start drinking.xnodx

[19Duke97]

lord they missed a huge hold

[Reign of Terrier]

Wow great pass.

[bobbythekidd]

Great penetration
Oh if I had a nickle for every time I have heard that!

[uofmman1122]

Good call, and nice pass Cole.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That's a fast whiteboy....

[caribbeanhen]

and that is why i'm still nervous

no need to be

[GSU Eagle]

JMU's defense can't stop Montana

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

lord they missed a huge hold

Yeah #2 from JMU was getting held big time on the shovel pass...

[Reign of Terrier]

That's a fast whiteboy....

made that #14 look like the #14 playing for App state

[uofmman1122]

Whew....Nice run, Cole.

[caribbeanhen]

griz getting all the breaks

[T-Dog]

made that #14 look like the #14 playing for App state

Now lets not get carried away here.

[UNHWildCats]

ok guys, post the score atleast once per page please.

[19Duke97]

god awful defense

[SideLine Shooter]

GOALLLLLL!!!!xnodx

[uofmman1122]

Almost had a heart attack.

C'Mon guys, we need to put it away.

[gbhmt]

I've never seen Bergquist throw ropes like he has tonight. So so solid.

[JMU DJ]

Unstoppable... you have Jeff Fisher, this is just unfairxbawlingx

[Hoyadestroya85]

sorry Dukes.. and sorry Griz for doubting you..

[uofmman1122]

Almost had a heart attack.

C'Mon guys, we need to put it away.xlolx

I think I'm a ways behind this. xlolx

[HiHiYikas]

34-17 Montana, pat pending

[GSU Eagle]

Montana can do whatever it wants vs. this JMU defense

[KiddBrewer]

OH MY GOD!






xeyebrowx :)

[caribbeanhen]

Griz are very impressive

[DuckDuckGriz]

Whether we win or not, this should shut a few people up.

[Appaholic69]

Hey its a little late to start complaining about penalties isn't?

Man I know the JMU fan base is gonna hate me for this but I'm lovin' this game.

I may be a Griz fan for a while now. I love how they play!

[Barnstormer]

ok guys, post the score atleast once per page please.

35-17 Griz. 1 min left in 3rd

[Reign of Terrier]

That was a great throw and catch.

[caribbeanhen]

like playing catch in the park

[Philliesfan980]

Nice season JMU, but you really aren't the same team without Landers.

Montana looks really good tonight.

[Grrrrriz]

Montana State
Texas State
Weber State
James Madison

.......It's rainin' cats and dogs!

[DuckDuckGriz]

what's with the crappy kicks

[SideLine Shooter]

Hey its a little late to start complaining about penalties isn't?

Man I know the JMU fan base is gonna hate me for this but I'm lovin' this game.

I may be a Griz fan for a while now. I love how they play!

Me too.

[Barnstormer]

What's up with the short kicks? Do the Griz have UNI'itis?

[uofmman1122]

I'm loving the way our offense is playing right now.

[Reign of Terrier]

Whether we win or not, this should shut a few people up.

No the Griz can't play on the road, and they certainly can't match a CAA teamxrolleyesx xsmiley_wix

[caribbeanhen]

JMU needs a quick strike and a turnover

[JMU DJ]

Hey its a little late to start complaining about penalties isn't?

Man I know the JMU fan base is gonna hate me for this but I'm lovin' this game.

I may be a Griz fan for a while now. I love how they play!

Hate to say it but... Me too... xnonono2x

[GSU Eagle]

Most GSU fans have great respect for Montana. Plus I am tired of hearing about the great CAA

[Jackman]

JMU defense is making sure that nobody can blame this loss on Landers getting injured.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Will Mickey attempt to throw the ball downfield?

[Montana_Mojo]

Take that Jack....er....um....James!

[slostang]

I'm loving the way our offense is playing right now.

The announcers are more impressed with UM's OC than most Griz fans.xlolx

[caribbeanhen]

dud on the keeper aint gonna get her done

[DuckDuckGriz]

I'm loving the way our offense is playing right now.

I can't remember the last time we got this creative.

I LOVE when Bobby is an underdog.

[JMU DJ]

JMU defense is making sure that nobody can blame this loss on Landers getting injured.

Haha, I officially hate you xthumbsupx

[gbhmt]

JMU defense is making sure that nobody can blame this loss on Landers getting injured.

Very true. It's so relieving to see Bergquist back in stride again, it's been a while.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

JMU can't throw the ball well enough to get back into this. They might score but they're going to eat up clock to do it.

[Appaholic69]

Up-tempo may be what JMU may not like to do, but choking is what they love to do.

Come on Griz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DuckDuckGriz]

Haha, I officially hate you xthumbsupx

No offense - but Landers is your team. And i mean that with utmost respect. We are so fortunate he is sitting on the sidelines and we know it.

[Houndawg]

No the Griz can't play on the road, and they certainly can't match a CAA teamxrolleyesx xsmiley_wix

xlmaox Can you imagine what it's going to sound like around here if UNI wins tomorrow?

[GOKATS]

I didn't think JMU could make this many mistakes (TO's).

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

slow down you posting b@st@rds, I'm trying to watch and read, can't keep up! :D

[DuckDuckGriz]

xlmaox Can you imagine what it's going to sound like around here if UNI wins tomorrow?

oh it's going to be sweet

[Big Al]

xlmaox Can you imagine what it's going to sound like around here if UNI wins tomorrow?

If? IF?!
xthumbsupx

[R3TRO]

Well I can honestly say that when this game started I didn't see it going the way it has. Then again when you turn the ball over a lot and lose a player like Landers i'm not surprised how its going. Its not over yet, but tough to come back from 35-17.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Griz do very well in the 3rd.

[slostang]

Sure JMU had a great year, but you have to wonder how many games they would have won in the Big Sky?xsmiley_wix

[uofmman1122]

LOL

More Jeff Fischer love. xlolx

[Peems]

The announcers are more impressed with UM's OC than most Griz fans.xlolx

Amen. So true. But he's been winning us over this year

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

LOL...Seriously can JMU throw the ball more than 5 yards down the field? GEES

[coover]

Ok, JMU, time to think about next year. By the way, now that you know that western teams can play football, how about giving a game to Cal Poly. Oh wait, now that you know western teams can play football, you won't even consider giving Cal Poly a game. Darn.

[caribbeanhen]

xlmaox Can you imagine what it's going to sound like around here if UNI wins tomorrow?

you could here a pin drop if that happens...

[T-Dog]

Reference count by annoucers (not counting necessary shills)

App: 2
BCS: 0
Heisman: 0
Playoffs being a novel idea: 3
Jeff Fisher: 13

[JMU DJ]

No offense - but Landers is your team. And i mean that with utmost respect. We are so fortunate he is sitting on the sidelines and we know it.

Agreed, I've been scared all post season. What happens if Landers goes down? He pretty much is the offense, if he doesn't have the ball, he's faking that he somehow may have it.

[gbhmt]

Griz do very well in the 3rd.

And we haven't really needed to grind it with Chase yet. Time for the 4th quarter wear-down.

[Reign of Terrier]

take away the turnovers, special teams, Montana's creativity, and add Landers and JMU's playing good.

[Jackman]

Haha, I officially hate you xthumbsupx
Just sayin'. You could put Tom Brady in and it wouldn't make a difference if Montana scores TDs every time they touch the ball.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Not over yet. Dukes still doin what they do on offense.

[McNeese75]

Go WEST!!!! xnodx

[bshgriz]

Sure JMU had a great year, but you have to wonder how many games they would have won in the Big Sky?xsmiley_wix

Fo Sho, it's lucky they played in that conference,Sac St. would tear them up.xlolx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Man, this is going to be a quiet board if UNI beats Richmond. xlolx

[Peems]

I'll trade scores

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

If i'm Montana i let them run the ball the whole time as long as they don't give up the big play.

[GSU Eagle]

dAMN, Montana's offensive coordinator is getting lots of love

[DuckDuckGriz]

Agreed, I've been scared all post season. What happens if Landers goes down? He pretty much is the offense, if he doesn't have the ball, he's faking that he somehow may have it.

You are still doing well. Your O-line is very nice.

Reminds me alot of Oregon with Dixon. And without him....

[Hoyadestroya85]

Well.. You won't be able to blame a loss on Dudzik.. he's been studly

[DuckDuckGriz]

dAMN, Montana's offensive coordinator is getting lots of love

Ironic. We've been trying to run him out of Missoula for a while.

[uofmman1122]

Landers Who?

Dudzik is a stud.

[slostang]

Man, this is going to be a quiet board if UNI beats Richmond. xlolx

It may quite the board, but not me.

[Big Al]

Man, this is going to be a quiet board if UNI beats Richmond. xlolx

If? IF?!
xthumbsupx

[MaxASU'81]

JMU without Landers = A totally different team




xeyebrowx

....no excuses please!xthumbsupx

[McNeese75]

Where are all the Montana anti-fans who were bitchin about the OC this year??? xwhistlex

[caribbeanhen]

they will score but no innings in football

[Houndawg]

Sure JMU had a great year, but you have to wonder how many games they would have won in the Big Sky?xsmiley_wix

xeekx Let alone the MVC!

[DuckDuckGriz]

Where are all the Montana anti-fans who were bitchin about the OC this year??? xwhistlex

Hey I am still here. xlolx see my above post

[gbhmt]

Griz need to hold it to three points right here.

[KiddBrewer]

its hard to hate JMU so much when they talk about the guy in the wheel chair


but i still do. just not that guy.

[caribbeanhen]

Landers Who?

Dudzik is a stud.


why wont MM let him throw

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I'm sorry but if i'm JMU fan i'm ready to choke Matthews. This play calling is a joke. How about a quick slant?

[DuckDuckGriz]

its hard to hate JMU so much when they talk about the guy in the wheel chair


but i still do. just not that guy.

xlolx I was just saying shut up.

[slostang]

Where are all the Montana anti-fans who were bitchin about the OC this year??? xwhistlex

Yeah that Cal Poly team was really a cream puff. Just ask Wisconsin.xlolx

[Hoyadestroya85]

There was a late hit there i think

[GSU Eagle]

Mickey Matthews has not made many friends

[bshgriz]

Huge 4th down stop!!!!!!!!!!!!
