Eh. Same deal.
You’ll respond to me. It is guaranteed.
We are on to 2020 CDA. Good deal for Bobby is he’s in a perfect position to play for 2nd. No pressure to win it all.
We've been trying numerous times to get a home and home with NDSU. But after the 2015 game, they want no part of playing in Missoula. Keeping the risk down on that streak.
Remember after 2003, when the Bison as a D2 team beat the Griz, the Griz backed out of the second half of a home and home in Fargo when they knew they couldn’t win? What happened back then?
NDSU has said no in order to schedule FBS games and focus on scheduling against CAA opponents.
I know the athletic department has been super hesitant in scheduling Montana and Montana State being they are the only two schools (outside of Maine in 2001 due to 911) to ever cancel a game against NDSU.
Are you suggesting the Griz really backed out of the second portion of their series with NDSU which would have been at NDSU after 2003?? If so, there is no way the Griz would have scheduled a DII and played away at their field.
Funny, NDSU apparently got over the home and home issue you mention to again play the Griz in another series. Yet they don’t want any part of playing in a challenging environment now after the big loss. By the way, that day is one of the finest game environments ever. Magnitudes better than 18,000 fans jangling their keys in a dome.

100% wrong, they have played at Iowa since that game, and have on the schedule Oregon in 2020, Arizona wildcats in 2022 and Colorado buffalos in 2024.
