That's, uh.... impressive. :lol: That asphalt track with the weeds looks like it probably produces some top notch sprinters.

Well I like the stadium. I like the colors, the mature trees and the water tank. It has some character. I like the fact that in thousands of stadiums like this come fall, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles will get in their cars or walk to the stadium to see their favorite sons play the greatest game ever. They will cheer as hard as we do for our beloved Griz and the smell of popcorn, polish dogs and beer will be on the evening breeze. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of folks with their hears soaring or plunging on every play. In the heat of a hot August night in southern Mississippi or the brutal cold of late November in Missoula they come to both the crackerboxes and the mega stadiums. It is a good thing and one of the things that makes America great.

As far as OPS or Liberty or whoever you might want to look down your nose at, this is an opportunity to go to an exotic place, in this case Missoula, and play a team with a storied history. It will be an experience they will remember their entire life, much as us playing at Iowa or Tennessee. It will also give us a chance to round off some rough edges, maybe rest some injuries. Personally, I hope the OPS boys have a hell of a time here.

It will be an experience they will remember until the next week. OPSU opens at Lamar (Southland Conference - the one you can't get by) and played them in 2010. And, there was no MASH unit on the sideline. In fact, one of OPSU's defensive tackles nearly decapitated the Lamar QB.

Oh, yeah, the Southland Conference--isn't that the same one the Griz are 16-5 against in the last 20 years?

Sounds like the Griz are really struggling 'to get by' them.

Maybe you're referring to the whopping 1 game 'winning streak' the Southland collectively has against UM. I'm impressed. That matches the longest 'streak' the Southland has against the Griz in the last 20 years.

And really, you're going to equate Lamar to the best teams in the Southland over the last 20 years (you know, the ones the Griz have been playing, mostly in the playoffs)?

Thanks for trying to put some interest into this game, though.

Thank you for making this post, as it states what I was going to, if I wasn't so goddamn lazy..
 
Hammond, you should plan to make the trip to Missoula. I seriously doubt you'll enjoy the game, but you will love the setting, the festivities and the pageantry. And you'll be treated like a king in Missoula. Simply wear your OPSU colors and you won't buy a beer all weekend.

MSU did not travel to DIIs; they lost to both at beautiful Bobcat "Stadium."

10/5/2002 CWU 31; MSU 16
9/9/2006 Chadron 35; MSU 24

And then there was DII Humboldt St. at the same venue.....

9/9/2000 Humboldt St. 23; MSU 14

None of them nail-biters....

good info... by saying "went down", gp meant 'lost' to

Lamar drew about 11,000 fans per game last year.
Montana drew 25,000.
Quite a difference there... and I guarantee you the atmosphere is quite different as well.

As for the Southland conference which we apparently can't get by... here are our records against them. Yeah, we just can't get by them....

Stephen F. Austin (Griz lead series 4-0):
  • 1995 in Missoula: Griz 70, SFA 14
    1997 in Missoula: Griz 24, SFA 10
    1998 in Nacogdoches TX: Griz 49, SFA 42
    2009 in Missoula: Griz 51, SFA 0

Northwestern State (Griz lead series 3-0):
  • 2001 in Missoula: Griz 28, NW 19
    2002 in Missoula: Griz 45, NW 14
    2004 in Missoula: Griz 56, NW 7

Central Arkansas (Griz lead the series 1-0):
  • 2011 in Missoula: Griz 41, Central Arkansas 14

Nicholls St. (Griz lead series 1-0):
  • 1996 in Missoula: Griz 48, Nicholls St 3

Texas State (Griz lead series 1-0):
  • 2008 in Missoula: Griz 31, Texas State 13

Sam Houston State (Griz lead the series 3-2):
  • 2001 in Missoula: Griz 49, SHSU 24
    2003 in Missoula: Griz 38, SHSU 14
    2004 in Huntsville: Griz 29, SHSU 41
    2004 in Missoula: Griz 34, SHSU 13
    2011 in Huntsville: Griz 28, SHSU 31

McNeese State (Series tied 3-3):
  • 1990 in Missoula: Griz 45, McNeese State 22
    1991 in Lake Charles LA: Griz 3, McNeese State 31
    1994 in Missoula: Griz 30, McNeese State 28
    1997 in Lake Charles LA: Griz 14, McNeese State 19
    2002 in Lake Charles LA: Griz 20, McNeese State 24
    2006 in Missoula, Griz 31, McNeese State 6

Total vs Southland Opponents: 16-5

We've never played Lamar, but I'm guessing Lamar (who hasn't finished with a winning season yet since joining the Southland) would've been destroyed by most of those teams. See, most of those games above were playoff games, with many being deep in the playoffs. Meaning the Griz got one of the best (if not the best) of the Southland each time we played them.
 
OPSU is primarily a basketball school, as is readily apparent in this photo showing how well their men's team draws.

I'm talking the last 4-5 years. Especially after (or maybe even before) Thanksgiving.

No need to go back to the last days of disco. But, if you insist, Panhandle St. took Chadron St. out to the woodshed the one game for which I could find a result. Panhandle St., I believe, also still holds the single game, single athlete scoring record for all collegiate football. And, it was done against NAU (ASC Flagstaff). Of course, not storied.

Hey, that stadium looks like the one Lamar beat University of South Dakota in just before they played OPSU in 2010.

The other one looks like it was built from parts ordered from the Sears catalog expressly for the Rolling Stones.
 
Something tells me RE Hammond more resembles the Little Bill of smack..or at least I hope the outcome is similar..
