Black Out Game 9/6 vs. Central Washington

They should do this instead of military appreciation.

Hell NO!!

They should do the Nike N7 uniform for Native American heritage game IN ADDITION TO military appreciation.

Wouldn’t they do the N7 on the actual Native American heritage game which is against st EWU later in the season. They already have 2 separate themed weekends, one for each.

That's my thoughts. As of last year, they hadn't done the N7 uniforms for football.

It’s going to have to happen at some point. They’ve already invested in marketing the last several years. The basketball team does it.

I love the basketball N7 unis.

The fact that they keep doing a blackout game tells me they just don’t get it. It doesn’t work and doesn’t look good. Try a whiteout like Penn State or Michigan State. MSU’s Gold Rush game is way better. They have eight home games and four in a row at home to start the season. They better start getting a little creative because it is getting stale.

I went to the 2023 home opener against Butler (98 and sunny) and just about fried myself. Agree. Black would be a hard pass if the same conditions.

If it's a night game, that changes everything. They should give everyone matte black T-shirts with Go Griz! in either glow-in-the-dark or 3M reflective material and turn the stadium lights off and shine UV light or spot lights around the stadium to illuminate "Go Griz!" or have one half of the stadium with "Montana" and the other half with "Grizzlies".

Hey UM sports marketing department, message me if you want to offer me a full-time job.

haha they don't have the money for that and the stadium lights don't just turn on and off.

Not a fan of the N7 uniforms, the black out uniforms are great.

Hah! Nah - Memorial Day weekend is still a coin flip. I will say, the weather in Missoula the last handful of years has been pretty decent - though I remember MANY a rainy/cold Memorial Day as well.

if it makes mom feel any better, they got rained off the lake on Monday (while we were traveling back to the tornados in TX).

Why thank you, I will take some slight solace in this fact.

I agree. And for the love of God, why, if they need to have a black out game, does it have to be what is likely the hottest gameday of the year? Anyone that’s ever sat in the NEZ w the sun beating down and no breeze -especially with kids- knows what I’m talking about.

Someone could genuinely write a dissertation on Poe's Law from the comments in this thread lmao

Again, PLEASE, is there someone here that could tell us if this is a night game or not.

YES, IT IS A NIGHT GAME!

Are we sure though. Only like 10 people have said that and I’m not sure I can trust any of them. Are you trustworthy?

I could see this being in the next round of Wa-Griz upgrades.

I would imagine it wouldn’t be as expensive as the initial install because you already have poles and wiring. I actually hate all the flashing lights after td’s but do think you can do some cool in stadium experiences like the end of the 3rs quarter at Nebraska.

Are we sure, though? Like, sure, sure for sure?
