I was wondering when they were gonna announce which game would get the nod. For the first time in the Big Sky's new tv contract, a regular season game will be televised on ESPN2. All the previous games selected have been on ESPNU. This will be our second time chosen for the regular season game since year 1 of the deal when we hosted the cats. This could be a big game too as it's the final night of the regular season and the conference title and number 1 seed could be on the line!
 
Game will finish around midnight on a Monday ..... ouch
College basketball games are approximately 2 hours in duration. Should be over by 11pm local, Missoula time. But yes, very late... especially for a school night :)

Some will remember, but it was a late start (I believe 9pm) on the old 'Big Monday' on ESPN when Montana played Idaho in the old Dahlberg. This was the famous protest game where the student section threw potatoes at the protestors, pretty sure if I remember right PaytonLives might have had a hand in the potato distribution.

This does beg a question, beyond meth, what prop would be fitting to students have in their possession for the Eastern Washington game?

The game also included one of the more impressive blocks (Delvon Anderson) I had seen in person. I still have a copy of the game on VHS somewhere in my collection.

Lets hope for a great student turnout. Would love to hear some "Who's he, he sucks" chants or break out the oldy but goodie, reading of the Kaimin while the opposition is being announced. Those are all in my arsenal from my years in the late 90's as a student. I'm old, and I know there are better things to do at games now... I'd even take a "We...will...win chant..."
