"Claim to Fame: The best homefield advantage in college football
File this under a sentence we never thought we’d write: Montana are a completely, utterly, totally dominant college football force. The Alabama of Big Sky country, right down to the maroon unis, the Griz, as they're affectionately known, hold records for most consecutive playoff appearances (17), Big Sky conference titles (12), and wins since 2000 (119). And while the teams and coaching staff have certainly done their part, most of the credit goes to Washington-Grizzly Stadium and the bear den that inhabits it. One of the greatest gauntlets in college football, Montana holds a mind-boggling .890 win percentage on their home turf and out drew 44 FBS programs in 2015. Throw in fresh mountain air and an in-state rivalry game with Montana State dubbed the “Brawl of the Wild” and you have a college football culture to make the SEC blush."

Ha! Mountain air. Elev. 3209'

That 3200+ elevation is pretty "mountaintop" to a lot of the country.

The writer is from New York City. According to his LinkedIn profile, he did go to school in New Hampshire. So his notion of mountains is somewhat limited. Don't get me wrong. Those mountains can be gorgeous (think Adirondacks), but they'd be foothills out here.

What, no mention of cold and loud !

Awesome sauce.

My bad; I'm used to gazing at Granite Peak from my office window.
