Just heard that Tony Arntson has pulled out of the game due to his Rocky coaching job. Mark Sultzer who was the architect of last years 65-0 drubbing of Team ND will now be the head coach for MT.

Along with Ans and Spang, Garrett Graves has been added as a QB and Mark Estes has been added as a CB.

Wasn't graves on the original roster? I see from the article ans and stang were added. but Estes has been added too? Anyone have the complete current roster? Thx
Richard Cranium said:I think this team is pretty solid. If it were up to me I would only have 3 other players replacing the 3 players on the list now. Carson Shuman (Capital) and Connar Quick (Capital) replacing Justin Brown (MC) and Tanner Harrell (Shepard) and Braxton Hill of Anaconda replacing Colton Grange (Flint Creek).
With that stated this team should roll against the NoDakers.

Its up to the kids as far as I know. Since Choate took over, his Montana recruits have played in both. Some have only played in one and not the other. And some have chosen to join summer workouts early and decline invited to the games.
Wow. This is a joke post. Grand Forks sponsors a bantam team in an elite Minnesota state league and has gone undefeated. Western schools like Williston and Dickinson are way below the hockey quality in the East as they don’t have nearly the depth. Grand Forks schools have hundreds of kids go out for hockey. It has become on par with Winnipeg for producing NHL talent or at least for high level college talent. In the nearly 60 years that ND has sponsored a HS championship, you can count on both hands when a GF HS hasn’t won it. Fargo, Minot, Bismarck and Grafton HS have only won it, but every blue moon.SaskGriz said:Dutch Lane said:I think we have 3 or 4 hundred thousand more people then North Dakota has. Also we don’t play hockey but that’s a winter sport, no? Do many hockey guys also play football or are two contact sports back to back too much? It’s also hard to always get the best players to play in the summer especially if they play baseball. Is the badlands game the only game played in the state? Do you have a shrine game or the equivalent? Do you have an all star game for the smaller schools, for the 8 and 6 man teams? My brother in law starred at qb for the New Salem Holsteins, ( there is a huge statue of a Holstein on the highway at New Salem) back in the day. Not sure what class they were in pretty small I think. They named there high school field after him. He got recruited by Nebraska back in the early 70’s and ran the bone for the cornhusker frosh and jv. Then he joined the rodeo team instead. Lol.

Combine that with the fact that ND HS kids/coaches don't seem to really give a rip about this game, maybe it should not even happen.WaGriz4life said:This Montana team will win by 40+. It's amazing how terrible North Dakota high school football is.
NDSU has 7 ND recruits for 2018, and only 2 are playing in the Badlands Bowl.
UND has 5 ND recruits for 2018, and only 1 is playing in the Badlands Bowl.
If we could get more of these guys to play, it would probably be a better game.
North Dakota doesn't play high school hockey at any serious level. UND just has a scholarship program for Canadian prairie kids to hang out in Grand Forks and play for the UND Name of the Weekers. Once we get our wall built (and you guys are paying for it) the UND hockey program will die. And the only ice in Fargo is on the door of the place that sells 32 to 38 waist jeans.
Dutch Lane said:UND only had six Canadians on there hockey team this past season out of total of 25 team members. Really incredible program a national powerhouse 22 frozen four appearances 8 national D1 titles the most successful program in NCAA history. And then look at NDSU football 8 division 2 titles, 6 D1 titles from one of the least populous states in the country. Pretty hard to pretend that no dak doesn’t know how to build powerhouse programs. Wow. I also Love the Holsteins of new Salem lol. What’s the deal with the jeans and waist size? Thanks

Richard Cranium said:With many of the Montana Players doing well in this weekends State Track meets, I feel the speed and athleticism of this team is actually greater than last years team. Last years team won 65-0 with a 2nd half running clock. Not that I think it will be a total blow out like last year, but it could be a lopsided affair. I would like to hear from the NoDakers how your team members did in the ND State track meets. I’m really excited to see this years Montana team performance on the field against ND best football players. See ya in Dickyville!
Richard Cranium said:The ND team has 7 players that are going to NDSU and UND aren’t going to play in the Badlands Bowl. Montana has 7 Griz players that are not playing in the game and 1 player who is going to play in the PAC-12 next year.
Griz players: Nate Ferguson, Dave Koppang, Colton Curry, Conner Quick, Braxton Hill, Max Morris, Cody Hartsoch.
Washigton State: Carson Shuman
Looks like both teams will suffer from the loss of D-1 talent playing in this game. Montana will be effected even more so than ND.
