Man, I'd KILL for them to get down to TX for a game...ACU, ICW, Houston Baptist, SFA, TA&M-Commerce, I don't give a shit..ANY of them would do...

No Mountain West team can pay us enough to travel to their school.

Grizzly Football has to make maximum profit to pay for the losses that every other sport posts. It's an unfortunate reality to our realm of athletics. We either need a big guarantee game (like we've had against Oregon and Washington of late) or we need a home game where we aren't offering up some giant payout - so most likely a WAC, Patriot, or lower/ mid-tier MVFC team

Or, we raise student athletic fees and both universities request more state money to be on a more even playing field with other universities. Why aren’t we funded like other d1 universities and why don’t we charge similar student fees?

Montana could also add a sales tax with a certain portion going to all institutions that are publicly funded and classified as higher education. What do I know though. I mean tourism is only #2 for generating revenue. Why have other states pay a large burden of our taxes, when we can continue to saddle the citizens of Montana! Yes, get rid of state income tax if you have to. For the love of all things good, move into the 21st century.

Same!

I'd even go so far as to add Lamar, McNeese State, or SELA, or any other Southland Conf team that's within driving distance for me.

Again, would require a vote and the votes are not there!

The Scats came down and played Tech about 5-6 years ago…that was a fun beating to watch. :lol: :lol:

FBS teams don't play at FCS venues.

Not true. Army lost to Yale in their FCS venue in 2014. Fun game - Yale didn't have a lead in the game until the final play in OT.

Certainly an exception to the rule...so rare you might have to go back generations to find another example.

Generally speaking you are correct, however you have to be careful with blanket statements. Idaho came to Missoula and played us more than once when they were I-A(FBS). Yes there was already an established history/rivalry there but it does negate your statement.

That was then, 20 years ago; the comment was for now. No FBS conferences allow their members to play at FCS venues. Period.

We're just dreaming in this thread anyway. Might as well dream big! 😂
