They made it work at EWU last year, so they can make it work anywhere. :lol:Kadeezy said:uofmman1122 said:This is great, but holy shit ESPN, I know you want the Griz on your station, but why the [#]f### do you always have to show us away from Missoula? :lol:

Is Sacramento really easier to get to from Connecticut than Missoula would be?

Likely an accurate assessment of their decision making; great venues would be icing on the cake. I hoped that Cat/Griz would be broadcast on ESPN 2, but I can't imagine they would place FCS games above other games during rivalry/conference championship week.Griz til I die said:ESPN’s looking for matchups, not venues. I predicted they would take UM vs. UI, but the Vandys have been shit so they have no interest in that one. All 4 teams featured this year were playoff teams last year.
If you think our chances are any better at a home game next year, go look at our home schedule in October of 2023. Idaho State and UNC, not happening.

ESPN has regional crews and equipment, and there’s a major airport 15 minutes away, so yes?
I’m guessing this will be the homecoming game, and Griz travel well, so we’ll have 20k+. With any luck the Sac administration will stipulate that the cameras be placed on the away side. It will be better for the Big Sky’s reputation (and Sac State’s) to see a raucous home side with new press box, field house, and Wellness Center in view.
Two time defending BSC champ and check out our record vs. them in recent years. Our last win at Sac was 2013 and that was OT. They have the best OL in the BSC.RainierGriz said:kemajic said:Likely our toughest reg season game.
Are you saying this just because it’s on ESPN 2 or have you always felt this way?

They don’t fly the equipment; they truck it. And sacto and Missoula are both going to require connections for the on-air team.
And with all due respect, all credibility is lost with “away side”.
