Hello from Delaware

- Start date
We regularly sellout season home games (25,000+) driven by a very high percentage of season ticket holders, but very rarely playoff games which are not included in the season ticket package. Expect 17,000 or so but they will be loud.GoHens81 said:
We had over 27,000 for the MSU game.

I always say the diehards show up for the playoff games. The 4th quarter this past weekend was louder than any of the home games we’ve had this year which had a lot more in attendance. One of the loudest games we’ve had was 2010 against New Hampshire in the quarterfinals. Friday night game, probably around 30 degrees, maybe 10k in attendance (and this was when we were hitting 20k regularly).
I’m sure we are prepping for some major crowd noise this weekend in practice. We have some experience having played at Penn State earlier this year, though admittedly it wasn’t too loud once the game was out of hand early.
Welcome in, GoHens81.
Should be a good game, I hope not like 30 years ago!

The single best thing UM does is those football yearbooks.
Even back then we were kicking states ass all over like we do now.
Oh and Matt Wells is by far the greatest WR UM has ever had. Second is a distant second.
If Larson doesn't miss that extra point we win it all that year too.

Choosing the greatest ever is always a sticky wicket. Nonetheless, Joe Douglas was the best Grizzly receiver I ever saw. He was phenomenal.

4 of those 5 have National Championship rings.
I have always been partial to Wells forgot about Joe Douglas who was another favorite I amend my previous comment. Douglas is the all time best Montana WR. What he did in 2 seasons others didn't do in 4 and he has a ring

At a Griz Cat party here in Oregon, Matt Wells passed around his NC ring. It was awesome just to hold. And yes, he got it back.
Wells/Mariani tied for #2, Douglass #1.

Hey Hen... What do you think about Delaware moving up to FBS?
As I recall, the Ferris State game this year set a new stadium attendance record at the time, though looking about I saw many empty seats. It became a bit of a joke the rest of the year for my buddy (with seats next to mine) and me; almost every game for the rest of the year, we would suggest they would announce a new attendance record, which often turned out to be the case. The eventual record was set at the Griz/Rival game. I just don't know how they count attendance; it seems they count tickets sold rather than bodies in the seats. In any event, I am sure the game this weekend will have better attendance than would have a game the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

It was time. I was hoping maybe we’d spend a few more years and compete for a title on the way out, as I do think Carty finally has this program headed in the right direction after the “lost decade” as our board calls it. But we’ll never know.
All the traditional powers on the east coast have moved on, and the CAA is really getting watered down. We’ve lost a lot of fans over the last decade for a variety of reasons, and I think this will help in getting some back.

Seems to me much of the movement to FBS has been Eastern teams: Georgia Southern, Marshall, James Madison, and now Delaware. Not so much in the West. Yes, there is Boise State and Idaho, but Idaho came back. And it may be the big difference is population: Montana has no NFL or FBS team so the fans turn out for our brand of football. In the East, NFL and FBS teams are nearby, making it more difficult for college teams to attract good attendance. We cannot evaluate our competition by enrollment; it has to take into account these other factors.
