Give me a break, all you and DJH did after Weber got smoked was talk about how shitty the Big Sky is, and how every team except Montana chokes in the playoffs. :nod: :coffee:
Is that a lie?

I've also said the MVFC was a mediocre league this year and not as good as we thought it was :nod:
Yes but you are taking offense at a poster that is saying what you just said and on top of that saying exactly the same kinds of things you were saying a couple of weeks ago. There are some new guys that take things said on here as serious, not realizing that we are all pretty much friends that just fuck with each other.

The MVFC wasn't mediocre it's just fun to lob a grenade back when one is tossed your way.

No grenade needed...the MVFC was a mediocre league this year. SDSU and SIU were legit, but anyone after that was a pretender...especially UNI at the end of the season

Does it look like i'm kidding you.......the entire MVC was a joke apparently.....pissed themselves like little scared puppies in the playoffs (UNI just chose to do it a few weeks sooner). can you say OVERRRRATED!!!!!
Nice 3rd post moron. Talk about pissing yourselves, you guys almost got smoked by SDSU. I like the Grizzlies, so stop making their fans look like retards. :ohno:
40 unanswered points is "almost got smoked by SDSU"? Wishful thinking, just because you did get smoked by SDSU.

Think they came from Ursus.....I wasn't at the game, but love the pics...

Also, here's a cool link to a series being run on the Winston-Salem Journal website where former App players recall the experience of the 12/09/00 Montana game...pretty good stuff...remember catching parts on the TV & thinking the long range shots of the mtns & snow falling were so cool....

There is a mystique to Montana football.

For east-coast teams in the FCS, traveling to Missoula for a game is an experience.

A grizzly bear (stuffed, fortunately, and in a glass case) awaits visitors at the airport. It’s typically cold and snowy for December playoff games. And a mountain called Hellgate is the backdrop at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

The Grizzly fans are ardent, and loud. The stadium itself lends itself to a big-time college football atmosphere, with fans wrapped around and close to the field in a bowl-type facility.

Appalachian State will travel there this weekend, for a semifinal game in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. The Mountaineers been there before, for a 2000 semifinal game that turned out to be a classic thriller – with top-ranked Montana surviving for a 19-16 overtime victory.

Nice post. The mountain is called Sentinal; the canyon to it's north is called Hellgate, from which nasty cold winds can blow in December.
