Quick Question

Why cowbells?

Bear bells don't make much noise. :lol:

Rumor has it -- although Bobby nor the team would ever use it as an excuse -- that both covid and the flu had run rampant through the locker room the week prior. Having been in Missoula that week and having contracted covid myself while there, I can tell you two things: (1) there were a LOT of people sick with covid and the flu in Missoula then, and (2) it sucked the absolute life out of me. I struggled to tie my shoes. I simply could not have imagined trying to play at 7100 feet the way I felt.

I also heard that rumor. From a reliable source.

Hello Folks,

I’m brand new to the forum — I don’t have any connections to Montana, but I’ll be at the game rooting for you all! I love your history and the intensity with which you support your program.

I’m studying up on your games this year, and I have to ask: How in the hell did you ever lose to Northern Arizona?!?!

Good luck, and Happy New Year!

Strangest thing: NAU scored more points than we did.

Well....if you MUST reduce it to basics..... :lol:

Absolutely seconding Wolf. Don't blow money on third party tickets. Somebody here can likely help you out. MSU week is tough, but other than that we should all be able to hook you up.

Night games have been amazing the last couple of years, and this year just felt like another level. Feel free to plan for that.

Personally, early season games are great for the wonderful tailgating weather and hangouts, but there is just no substitute for the games that matter at WaGriz. The crowd is different. Electric. You will have a good time either way, but if you make it to a game that has the crowd fired up it is a wildly different experience.

You guys are too kind! : )

Somehow I’ve been able to talk my woman into going to Missoula in Fall 2024! I’m thinking about October 12th against NAU.

Any hotel recommendations?

Another part ...great part...of the experience is a burger and a beer at the Mo Club. That is to say, the Missoula Club. It goes back decades, even unto my undergraduate years.

Hey, no worries there. I'm drunk in MIssoula and real happy to be talking about this season tonight. We are spoiled. I didn't realize it growing up, but the last decade taught me the error of my ways. This is amazing.

Super great of Bovine. Absolutely loving to have this reacsee so many old friends interested now. I've actually reconnected with old buddies over it. We have an amazing stadium, an amazing town, an amazing team, amazing coaches and players, and incredible support for the program inside and outside the university. And a culture started in the 1980's by Don Read, from DOLA to the 37 tradition, that outlives players and coaches alike. We get to love "Grizzly Football," and most of America doesn't even know what that means. We are damn lucky.

Several weeks ago I was watching y’all against Delaware on tv, thinking “how does every college football fan in America not see how great this is?”

As the kids say - if you know, you know.

The worst five years in our last 40 seemed to happen just as the modern streaming era started rolling and NDSU was dominant. I feel like this post season run was a big feather in the cap of putting the Griz back at the top. People got the chance to see Griz Football. It has been a while since we showed them our best.

Speaking of that I hope every griz fan does their part and roars both parts of that chant, so that whole SDSU side of the stadium feels it every time.

I hope somebody sneaks in some Kid Rock and Cotton-eyed Joe into the song rotation early. This needs to turn into a griz party inside Toyota Stadium.

At the 1995 Championship game, the travel agent for the charter I took provided everyone with empty plastic gallon milk jugs with a fair amount of gravel inside. They made great noisemakers. In fact the TV commentators mentioned once when Marshall was in front our section that the Marshall players were having difficulty hearing ... in their own stadium. So the Griz fans plus the artificial noisemakers were effective. The NCAA has since banned noisemakers of the artificial variety. We still can shout and clap, and I encourage everyone there to do so.

Those milk cartons helped cause a safety at Marshal....the winning margin in the game.

Just one of many great Griz defensive plays in the game. The goal line stand was unbelievable.
