Looks like a Friday night game.

According to tweets from players, and local tv, it'll be a Firiday night game. Makes perfect sense, us having no lights and all.

Possibly even shorter week - what's happening with the lights @ Washington Stadium?

Ironically, if it turns out to be true, the lights will be brought in from Iowa for the game.

The Griz will truck lights in. They did it for the App. St. playoff game they lost a couple years ago.

And ESPN pays for it.

This is why schools like Iowa have never bothered to install lights - when you need them, TV pays for them.

The guys who do that do some really cool stuff. The whole rig is remote controlled to adjust to the field.

Even cooler is that my brothers brother-in-law, who works for MUSCO, can control the lights in any stadium they installed from his smart phone.

If my memory serves me, the griz won that game.

Time for redemption for our Panthers last Time I believe we were in Missoula they put the hammer to us something fierce. We were very ill prepared my freshmen year that game and got flustered early and lost our composure as a team. The fans are very nasty and will throw snowballs from the stands...hopefully we stay composed and dont throw lowblow punches this time...Soliday. We take this one

It is also going to compete with the ISU/Iowa basketball game (aka" the Big 4 bronze medal game").

Friday night stinks. We lose a day of preparation since we'll have to travel on Thursday rather than Friday. Somehow that doesn't seem fair.

Wouldn't Montana also lose a day to prepare?

Re: Looks like a Friday night game.

Think the point is, that since Mt doesn't have to travel, less of a big deal for them.

If the game is on Sat we would still have to travel to MT....and lose a day of preparation

MT also does normally play night games - so there's that. Neither makes that much of a difference. I think MT would be more worried if wofford showed up on a short week.
