Montana Grizzlies at Dornblazer 1985

[Ursa Major]

I was underneath the bleachers too, upskirting girls with beer in hand.

Why does that not surprise me? You will be glad to know those old bleachers are still alive. The Mavs got them from the U of M and used them for years. They got new ones and passed them on to Westside Little League and we just renovated and installed them!

HA!

 

[grizpack]

I was probably there... Under the stands playing

You were one of the "targets" for us.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the travel back in time. I attended every home game a Dornblazer during my time at UM. I graduated the year before and forgotten about the Team of the Eighties infamous Fiz-bone offense as we called it.

Care to elaborate???

He was tossing bottles down there.

Like Everett, I think I was a sophomore. Unlike Everett, I think I was a 7th year sophomore. But my memory is hazy.

 

[Cuervohola]

Oh, well as long as he wasn't wasting good beer

 

[kemajic]

That team played defense like today's MSU, EWU, and SacSt.

 

[Silvertip]

Dornblaser II looked like most of the current Big Sky "stadiums" - porta potties and a field encircled by a running track. At least the Griz faced better competition back then with those future FBS jumpers...

 

[statler & waldorf]

Back then, I only lived a mile from the stadium, but that two mile walk back was hell. :beer:

Yep. Couldn't tell you if we ever got one, but we tried. Our aim did NOT improve as the game went on. And we usually ran out of ammo by half-time. Bad planning on our part.

 

[Buttegrizzle]

I would've been there as a sophomore. I would've been drunk.

I would have been there with you. I would have been freezing my ass on those bleachers and bitching about the lack of offense production

Roster from 1985. http://www.fanbase.com/Montana-Grizzlies-Football-1985/roster/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

How could they leave off Mike Van Diest and Joe Glen as coaches? Vic Clark was the Oline coach and Jim Hogan was the linebackers coach.

 

[Proud Griz Man]

#37 fullback K. Paulson

the start of the UM tradition for #37

Love the old uniforms. Forgot how much slipping occured on natural grass. Is the film speed slowed, or do they all seem as slow as PR in old Dartmouth footage?

I just love it that on the opening kickoff both teams are running in the same direction; now that's Special Teams coaching. I mean, I don't see no one getting blocked out there, huh, dude.

There's more than one reason why the Griz were 3-8 in '85.

The start of my junior year. That stadium was cold and NOT loud.

Probably why it was called a "Field" and not a "Stadium."
