Montana to Host Mississippi Valley

[JohnStOnge]

Is Montana going to return the game and play at Mississippi Valley at some point?

Nope

Yes I thought that would be the answer. Just asked because it pisses me off that SWAC teams won't play McNeese without a return trip so McNeese tends to do things like schedule Truman State instead of getting to say it played a "Division I" game.

Your "we" was in reply to a post about the Big Sky in general kalmy.

Wrong.

It was the 2nd post in the thread replying to Montana's schedule. The "we" means EWU.

Sweet!

We get to host UNI after playing at Washington State and NDSU!

Fffffff....fail.

You need some lessons on pulling quotes. This was weak.

[89Hen]

I'd love for the Hens to schedule UNI as they fold like cheap suits against UD. Maybe we could get enough wins to become playoff eligible.

That would require UD to cross the Appalachian Mountains.

UD > UNI in the dome
UD > SIU in Bumweed
UD > Montana in Loud and Cold

so... yeah

We aren't talking about playoff games where you don't have a choice where you go, but you knew that.

It's the quote you were referring to.

WTF are you babbling about? Did you not click on the link to the post?

Kinda intersting that the Big Sky really caught a break with regionalization. They are the most isolated of the conferences, yet none of their three teams are slated to meet in the round of 16. All four CAA's are slated to meet, both Southland, both Big South, four of five MVFC... for many years the Big Sky guys liked to complain that they always knocked each other out (a false claim BTW)... can't complain this year.

I think the stronger claim was that we weren't afforded as many opportunities to feast on PL and NEC teams in the playoffs as well as the regular season which lead to less victories...

UND OOC: Wyoming, Drake, NDSU
UNH: SJSU, CCSU, Colgate

1st Round Matchups:

UNH: Colgate
W&M: Duquesne

UM: SDSU
SUU: @ SHSU

This was a thread about Montana's schedule which yes, does include some weaker opponents. I posted Eastern's schedule which does not. You quoted just this post and thought you had a gotcha moment going back to the other thread, which you did not. Montana now scheduling weaker FCS opponents doesn't make my statement in the previous thread incorrrect.

To be honest, I wish we could schedule like that sometimes.

My fault, I mistakenly thought Montana was in the Big Sky.

They are. And their scheduling OOC like a CAA team this year.

This argument is really boring. You guys should just give up.

[GAD_SU]

Nope

Why would you not expect to have to return a game? Didn't you host UAPB & PVAMU a few years ago with no return game?

[89Hen]

That's because Kalm doesn't have a case but he won't give up.

A case for what? You thought you had a real gotcha moment and didn't. Montana scheduled two weak EC(b) opponents. I posted EWU's OOC which by comparison is difficult. Montana scheduling weak this season does not invalidate my point from the other thread.

I'm one of the few on here who will admit when he's wrong. I've done it countless times. If you had a "case" I'd cop to that. But you don't, so I didn't.

Boring is right...

Montana is going to brutalize Mississippi Valley.

Montana is going to brutalize Mississippi Valley.

I would sincerely hope so. Otherwise, we're probably talking double-digit losses.

Don't underestimate the power of the SWAC.

Actually, yes. Do that.

There actually are some OK SWAC teams.

MVSU isn't one of them.

doing some research for a project I'm working on.

In 21 games vs the MVFC the SWAC is outscored by an average of 48-9 per game. I think Montana will be just fine

So if the Griz don't win by 40, will it generate "Fire Stitt" threads on eGriz?

[Mvemjsunpx]

There is no known event in the entire universe that won't bring some sort of "Fire Coach XXXX" thread or comment on eGriz.

It's my thing. Last season it was going to be Idaho State, but that prediction didn't turn out so well, so I lowered the bar.

I will say it again. Montana is going to brutalize Mississippi Valley.

[AZGrizFan]

Whew.

That depends on "how" we don't win by 40.
