Zirg said:Big Sage said:GONZAGA! EVERY! YEAR!
I've given up on the Zags. It's sad and pathetic really. There is a long and storied history between the 2 schools. We were in the same conference from 51-79' and UM is still Gonzaga's 10th most-played opponent all-time. Only Idaho has played them more often than the Griz among non WCC conference members, and Gonzaga is THE closest D1 college to drive to from Missoula (although MSU and Idaho are similar). After Gonzaga jumped ship to the WCC we maintained them as a yearly opponent even when Montana was the far-more prominent school nationally for the vast-majority of those contests. But then they only beat us by 3 points in 2015 and Gonzaga got scared and quit playing us. What other reason can it be? And don't say "they can't play lowly Big Sky teams now or it will hurt their Strength-of Schedule". Well, they beat Idaho State 120-79 last year and play EWU this year so that argument is bogus. Get some balls, Gonzaga. We played you when you were nobodies. What are you afraid of?
A loss
