Who would they bring in to replace us? Central Washington would probably make the jump up if offered a spot, but I don't know who else would even regionally make sense to backfill the spot.

So true. And yet, the league consistently makes decisions to benefit the likes of noco and psu, to the detriment of Montana. I mean, seriously: Could you even imagine the SEC favoring Vandy over Bama and UGA with every decision? We've essentially been the economic engine for the entire league for 30 years.

Not sure if ESPN gets to pick, but Tommy W. would probably love to see the Griz send off the departing Hornets with a National TV "L."
That would be a fun one to be at. My son just left Sacramento to move back to MT. We went down to Davis game a couple seasons ago. It was fun. Davis folks were great at tailgates. Lots of UM grads in area.
Since they are going FBS I’m positive there will be 17 camera angles this time around.
TV Game selections for ESPN will be announced tomorrow. After seeing earlier this week when UM announced game themes for the home games and there not being a theme for the Idaho game, I feel very good about the chances of that one being on ESPN2. Then the question becomes will the Griz get two games on ESPN2? If we do I believe it will be at Sac State. I don't see us getting two home games on ESPN2. Shall be interesting to see tomorrow.
They can't. Part of the Scripps tv deal is they get exclusive rights to the Brawl.

Well we nailed both of the Griz games! Did not think they would take cats-Davis being it’s so late in the season. Good for NAU getting a home game! Cool deal for them!
UM gets two games while state only gets one. Wah wah.
Sounds like the Idaho game might be another night game?
I'm all for this trend of multiple regular season home night games in a season!

If so, how did they talk Bobby into it? Haha. We all know how he feels about night games.
Ya it’s gonna be at night. They’re probably just waiting to see if they can get the game on ESPN or if it goes on ESPN2. They did this same thing last year and we ended up finding out in July. It’ll be a night game though. Probably around 8:15 kickoff or so.
Wow! Good for Portland State getting their Week 0 home game on ESPN2! What a cool deal for them! They should try and get that game moved into Providence Park. Davis gets ESPN for the FCS Kickoff game!
I'm all for night games but I hate those really late kick times because that means kickoff isn't until 9:00 p.m. my time. When you have to get up early the next morning, staying up until midnight or 1:00 a.m. is not preferable, especially at my age.

Agreed. It’s also hard to get friends to watch anything past the first quarter and really get them to appreciate Montana football. That being said, I’d wake up for a 2am kickoff after going to bed at 10p knowing I had to work at 6a
