I don't have a subscription to the Missoulian, would someone mind copying and pasting the newest Missoulian article about the Griz scheduling a night game?

This is part of it.

Football scheduling is like one big jigsaw puzzle, fitting a piece from one program into the various one-weekend openings of another. But the riddle doesn't stop there.

Within that problem is a second to be solved as game kickoff times, in an era ruled by televised sporting events, must fit the larger whole uncontrolled by the individual. Institutions' broadcast partners decide how a scheduled game in Montana and, say, Southern California work together on the same day's TV slate.

It's why you'll see those unique kickoff times like 1:35 p.m. Or the occasional 7 p.m.

The University of Montana announced last week – via its athletics Twitter account – that its football season opener Sept. 3 would be played under the lights at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Game time was set for 7 p.m. when the Griz will entertain visiting Saint Francis.
