Redemption Time

[buckswope]

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

Re: Redemption Time

Well, there's one consolation, unless things change, there won't be much snow for snowballs.

Re: Redemption Time

You're right things won't change, and the Griz will put a serious arse wooping on you again!

Sounds like things have changed in MT. Most of the visiting fans who go their now rave about the hospitality.

We went to the Montana-Weber game this year and didn't see anything unsportsmanlike.

I think most adult fans will be great to visitors. The student section is hit or miss on friendliness... but I think that goes for pretty much anywhere that has tailgates before a game.

As for the snowball comment, that is not typical. From what I have read, there was an incident where a UNI receiver punched one of our guys in the nuts. Now, something like this happens, and there might be some snowballs

In general, MT folks are quite friendly you'll find

I've intentionally forgotten pretty much everything about that last game in MT, but weren't we the jagholes last time?

Yes. It all started with "tape-gate". Something we as UNI fans didn't care about but something that the Griz fans found offensive enough to.... never mind... Don't want to relive that.

Spoken like a guy who got his arse handed to him. This is football girls...not tennis. As a player, all that smack got me stoaked for the game. I loved it. Maybe games with half empty stadiums (like your last game) or fans sitting on their hands sounds more appealing to ya? Yep, its nuts here..and I'm not a big fan of F-bombs at players or personal crap.. esp. with kids all around, but everything else is pretty much fair game.

What you should be concentrating on is how the hell we were able to get this program to this point. It isn't like we have people coming out of the woodwork around these parts. To be honest, I'm still astonished. When I was at Montana, we played in a glorified parkinglot and rarely if ever made the playoffs.

I still think that the day we lucked out and had a very nice rich dude (Denny Washington) build us that place, the thing blew up. I know not every school will get that lucky...but its a good long term goal. Montana State is doing it a section at a time right now..its a very smart move. Frankly, your place..whith the garage doors in the endzones is pretty lame..You guys need to ditch that mess and build a House! "And they will come". This is true of the entire FCS...half filled games during playoffs!!?? Really? In crappy little stadiums...if this league is going to survive, we have to get the alums, schools and States to step up the facilities.
(God knows, though, we wouldn't wanna invest in ourselves....)political jab.

For now...bask in the glory of a full stadium..screaming..on prime time and don't cry about it. Just thank us for the experience and learn.

Re: Redemption Time

Re: Redemption Time

LordGriz, really, that's the best you have - our stadium is better than you stadium? That's a 4th grade effort at best. LakesBizon does better then that.

Try again.

Re: Redemption Time

what will Montana fans do if they can't throw snowballs at the UNI players?

Ok..my bad. The "their fans are really mean" posts are much more meaningful. You like your wann-be program? More power to ya. At least have the janitors standing in front of the garage doors string some Christmas lights....

Re: Redemption Time

@LordGriz

haha Montana is not God's gift to football. Settle down. No one's posts on any sports forum has any bearing on a game we know all that. You're proud of your program do you want us to pat you on the back and say way to go? What did you do to help get Montana to this point? Are you in the program or something? It sounds like, from the way you're talking, you had a large part in this rise in Montana football? I'd be curious to hear the tale.
