Looks like the Vandals game got move to the Deuce. Was hoping that may happen for the Montana game.

Makes sense with the retro mini-dome craze sweepIng the nation.

It might be loud, but won't be cold.

Thank goodness it is Idaho. If it was our game, they would have had to move us back to an 8:00 pm kickoff and commercials for ESpN 2 are always longer than regular ESPN+ timeouts. Our game wouldn’t be over till almost midnight if on ESPN 2.
Go Griz!

I know this will come across as a complete homer attitude but I gotta think Montana is the first choice and maybe they offered and maybe we said no just for the same reasons listed above? IDK, just a thought. I can see how it would be hard to turn down the national exposure though.

We will get the exposure when they explain who they lost to in the regular season.

When Furman comes out a week from Saturday, they’ll already have the equipment close-by. My prediction: The deuce, dos Saturdays from now.

Can the University even say no in this situation? The NCAA controls the playoffs and their contract with ESPN dictates what happens.

A chance to get on ABC in the Quarters as well:

Pacific Time Zone v Mountain Time Zone, combined with their need to schedule SOMETHING starting at 8 pm MST.

Know how large organizations work, I'll bet it had at least something to do with the ESPN staff now wanting to work a night game in Montana in December. If there are other options, they would rise to the top to stop the internal whining.
