If the 3rd and 4th stringers blow the shut out and they better start walking back to Bozeman

You think Gregorak is hitting the sauce in the booth like Romo?

If this week is any indication, things could get weird in the big sky this year

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

"It's something they can show on Monday and say good job winning on 4th down."

He says as they immediately get hit in the backfireld and fail to convert. Commentator Curse remains undefeated

u/ripdoublewide Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

Griz had the ball for 16 minutes and won the game. Very sloppy start for BK and boys but a conference win is a conference win. Eli is still him. Ah Yat never got into a rhythm. We're on to Drake.

u/TheOfficalSherlock Mercer Bears • Georgia Bulldogs Aug 30 '26

Late but. Thank goodness we didn’t blow a 23 pt lead on national television. Thank you. Goodnight.

u/G1NGER Boise State Broncos • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

I can say "Cancer sucks" but because I have a Griz flair, I'll get downvoted to oblivion haha

Have you considered making better choices?

u/PROUDgrizHATER Montana State • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

I mean yeah why ya gotta bring zodiac signs into this nonsense.

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Damn star racism

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

Yeah that's my zodiac sign! What did I ever do to them!?

u/0x196 Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

That's called a "Victim Complex"

5

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

We just had a commercial pop up for one of the local attorneys and I have to share it every time I see it. Bro holds an MMA title belt the whole time talking about he's ready to fight for you in and out of the court room. And I'm reminded this guy has multiple DV and against convictions, so technically he fights. But also he was the quickest to plea out cases when I was at the DAs office.

13

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

We did not deserve to win that

5

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Your game was much more exciting to watch than mine, that's for sure.

3

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Montana good guys are now outscoring their opponent Utah Tech plus Southern Utah plus missoula.

5

u/ripdoublewide Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

"The good guys"

3

u/64stackdiamonds Montana State Bobcats • Oregon Ducks Aug 30 '26

Two guys got into a heated argument about Trump at the bar next to me while watching the MSU game, and what's crazy is both of them were making horrible arguments

-2

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

No quotes necessary! only brain damaged people would use quotes regarding this photo!

4

u/ripdoublewide Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

If you support Bobcat football you support Trump full stop. Fascist.

u/Aquatic-assassin Montana Grizzlies • Kentucky Wildcats Aug 30 '26

Once my gas prices drop below 4 dollars a gallon then maybe, just maybe, can the quotations can be dropped

u/G1NGER Boise State Broncos • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

This good guy mentality is such a facade haha

6

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Typical bad guy response.

6

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Ok.

11

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

So what's it like playing a close week 0 game?

5

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

Not great my dude

3

u/TheOfficalSherlock Mercer Bears • Georgia Bulldogs Aug 30 '26

Miserable

2

u/bluecatenthusiast Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Idk, ask New Mexico

9

u/slothbron Montana State Bobcats • Big Sky Aug 30 '26

Southern Utah could have done the funniest thing in week 0. Heartbroken for the Thunderbirds and I guess it might be another season of the Griz eking past teams.

2

u/montalaskan Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

If you've got an inch, you've got a mile. Winning is winning. Never a doubt.

(I'm contractually required to say these things after we won the Natty game by a point.)

10

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

Well if you are lurking or new to fcs football, or forgot we exist since moving to the UAC and back, SUU has been like this for 3 straight years. Many close and high scoring games against good competition, including a few upsets and an FBS win a couple years ago. We always seem to lose to Idaho state and that keeps us from playoff contention, but other playoff hopefuls watch out, we’re coming and we will rip some wins from you.

3

u/join_the_creed Montana State • Washington Sta… Aug 30 '26

Your guy's home game against Davis might be a sneaky fun game to watch and if both games tonight were any indication today, you guys have a good shot.

2

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

I think we’ve played them the last 3 years. 1-2 all by 1 score down to the wire. Thats become a classic and must watch every year for me

4

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

And in other news, the Bobcats are up by 47 on the road early in the 4th (I am aware that Utah Tech was picked to finish last in the Big Sky)

3

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

And a pick 6 to make it 54

5

u/bluecatenthusiast Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Death, taxes, Montana squeaking out a home non con game against someone they’re supposed to boat race. Such is life

21

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

That was a conference game

4

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Does it count as a conference game though? Does our game? I know we've played big sky teams early in the season before that didn't count towards conference standings.

5

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Griz vs SUU and Cats vs UTU are conference games

Griz vs Utah Tech in 2 weeks is a non-conference game

Only Big Sky team who didn't play a conference game this week was Idaho State who played VMI

1

u/bluecatenthusiast Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Why is Montana vs Utah tech non conference but Montana vs southern Utah is when the joined the same year

1

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Utah Tech vs Montana was scheduled as an OOC when UTU was in the UAC.

Same with Utah Tech vs Northern Arizona and Southern Utah vs Weber State

3

u/TheOfficalSherlock Mercer Bears • Georgia Bulldogs Aug 30 '26

Welcome to 2026 explanations. For anyone wondering Tennessee Tech vs Chattanooga will also be an OOC game

4

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

I completely forgot SUU came back to the Big Sky

5

u/bluecatenthusiast Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Alcohol does things to a man

6

u/Full_Technician8430 Southern Utah Thunderbirds Aug 30 '26

Lost the game on the previous drive. Tried to get cute by wanting to throw deep when the line was creating massive holes for 7+ yard runs every single play.

2

u/ripdoublewide Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

That might have been the dumbest play call I've seen in years. You guys were dominating us. I thought best case scenario for us was getting the ball back down 7 with two minutes left. That play was a serious gift.

2

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Griz are gonna lose to UC Davis if that's how they keep playing

1

u/vandymontana Vanderbilt Commodores • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

Griz gonna fucking lose to Centerville or Belt...

1

u/ripdoublewide Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

Yeah especially after Davis dominated Portland State today... Oh wait

5

u/Crispy_Whale Montana Grizzlies • Oregon State Beavers Aug 30 '26

UC Davis will also lose to the Griz if that's how they keep playing after that game against Portland State

7

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

They seem to have a habit of playing down to their opponent and still getting the W at the end.

5

u/DrOddcat Montana State Bobcats • UC Davis Aggies Aug 30 '26

Years of that nonsense

5

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Bobby Ball

Oh look, the new guy's name is also Bobby. Must be a coincidence

3

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

Meet the new Bobbeh, same as the old Bobbeh

7

u/PROUDgrizHATER Montana State • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

Feels like every year a non conf team goes into Missoula and goes punch for punch with em or out plays them. And still loses. It’s tradition.

SUU was tougher than a lot of people were going to give credit- but the griz got a lot to sort out.

2

u/welder-fabricator Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

It’s astounding how many scats in here don’t know SUU is in the Bg Sky.

1

u/PROUDgrizHATER Montana State • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

I’m well aware. Just not used to the week 0 conference games.

1

u/Crispy_Whale Montana Grizzlies • Oregon State Beavers Aug 30 '26

Ah Yat and the Passing offense were not dealing well with the loss of Michael Wortham, suffice to say!

1

u/GeneralAcorn Montana State • Boise State Aug 30 '26

Eli Gillman should have had 50 touches in this game. Then it wouldn't have been so close.

5

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

That was unfortunately a conference game

3

u/PROUDgrizHATER Montana State • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

Ah you’re right. TBirds are tough, and should make some noise in the big sky. Controlling the game like that (500+ yards and over 40 min of TOP) wins a lot of games.

3

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

That is also our only (preseason) ranked opponent this year. We absolutely could surprise some people come selection time

3

u/Ok-Description7073 Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

2 weeks to clean it up against the cupcakes we usually play week one. Fitz had the perfect Gameplan though. Controlled TOP and kept the ball out of our hands. Almost worked.

5

u/pisss Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

No PI there was laughable. Of course the griz get a homer call when it matters

5

u/NastyWideOuts Ole Miss • Montana State Aug 30 '26

Refs sold SUU

9

u/SandmanTX131 Montana State • Texas A&M Aug 30 '26

Montana players talking trash and celebrating like they won the Natty after getting out played and taken down to the wire on their home field by an unranked team…. Lol

-3

u/G1NGER Boise State Broncos • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

SUU have been chirping all 2nd half but ok.

2

u/slothbron Montana State Bobcats • Big Sky Aug 30 '26

I mean, don't they kinda deserve to be able to chirp a little? On the road to one of the hardest places to play against the #2-ranked team and going punch for punch. I get it's week 0 and who knows where folks are really ranked, but if I was a team that was overlooked and in Missoula with a chance to win, I would be chirping.

0

u/G1NGER Boise State Broncos • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

If you start chirping and ultimately lose, expect chirps back regardless.

1

u/slothbron Montana State Bobcats • Big Sky Aug 30 '26

Agreed, but there also is a limit when at home and objectively should be the better team. Getting super chirpy when you have played down to a lower team is silly.

1

u/G1NGER Boise State Broncos • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

If you go back and watch it, the SUU guy shoved the Griz player after the play was over, prompting a reaction from the Griz.

0

u/G1NGER Boise State Broncos • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

It's literally the first week, dude. No one should expect anyone to be the bigger team, especially in the Big Sky Conference. And chirping is chirping; No matter who, what, when, or where.

8

u/Full_Technician8430 Southern Utah Thunderbirds Aug 30 '26

Totally winnable game damnit. The sort of win that gets you the nod at a playoff bid when comparing resumes.

14

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

I see Montana is back on the "barely scratch past the decent but lower caliber team" strategy from last year lol

7

u/GrandeRonde Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

The heart attack Griz are back. Maybe they get paid under the table by the American Association of Cardiologists?

5

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

I'm just hoping the Cardiac Cats are a thing of the past...

u/Ok-Description7073 Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

We never play good Week One. This time it wasn’t a cupcake.

9

u/Skeebammity Montana State Bobcats • FCS Championship Aug 30 '26

Couldn’t help but chuckle when the announcers said he “may have” gotten there early when he’s through his back years before the ball got there

12

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

You gotta be sick if you're Southern Utah, so many mistakes and it still was a super close game.

4

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

We are

8

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

Montana survives a modicum of adversity. One day it might bite them in the ass.

It’s not today.

4

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

Just throw the damn ball away wtf are you doing

2

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

Big sky welcome to the Fitz experience

2

u/Tufoguy Towson Tigers • Navy Midshipmen Aug 30 '26

Griz interception.

-4

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

I guess those UAC stadiums didn't prepare the Thunderbirds for the Big Sky

1

u/SandmanTX131 Montana State • Texas A&M Aug 30 '26

They outplayed the Griz all game and the defense was BEGGING the crowd to get loud on 3rd down lol 

1

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

They got a delay of game from the crowd at the end

2

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

Southern Utah is just shooting themselves in the foot.

6

u/GeneralAcorn Montana State • Boise State Aug 30 '26

Big Sky refs in mid-season form I see.

8

u/NastyWideOuts Ole Miss • Montana State Aug 30 '26

Thats PI

3

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

Definitely

6

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

TBirds shoot themselves in the foot again

2

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

AND a delay of game?

5

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

Suu is 100% going for two if they get there

2

u/GeneralAcorn Montana State • Boise State Aug 30 '26

What a catch!!

8

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

Two teams from Montana playing two teams from Utah tonight and two very different games

0

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

The good guys in Montana are on track to out score the other 3 teams combined.

4

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Both are wearing all-white uniforms with metallic helmets

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

Scared money don’t make money, T Birds

Meanwhile- Congrats Taco on becoming the new big sky leader in punt return yards! Legend.

11

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

Tbirds giving the Griz a lot of help on both sides of the ball lol

4

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

Damnit

6

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

The Big Sky just fucking rules.

7

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

It might not be the best conference, but it's by far the most entertaining

10

u/SandmanTX131 Montana State • Texas A&M Aug 30 '26

I’ve been telling folks Montana is being overrated all offseason, them being upset at home by an unranked team Week 0 would be absolutely hilarious please let it happen 

4

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

Tbh, no clue why we were ranked so high. We had so many unknowns going in to the season

10

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

What a dumb play call by Southern Utah. Tearing them up on the ground and you try a reverse flea flicker reverse pass? You deserve to lose 20 yards

2

u/coincidental_boner Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Really stupid play call, but I don’t think it was intentional grounding. The ball left the tackle box, it doesn’t matter then that the actual throw occurred back in the tackle box

3

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

It was extremely dumb so I’m happy

4

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

Tennessee State will attempt the go-ahead field goal with 56 seconds left.

5

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

They botched the hold! Jackson State will hang on to win, 26-24!

10

u/JKS41399 Western Carolina Catamounts Aug 30 '26

CATAMOUNTS WIN 45-21! (Yes, I know this was like an hour ago, but I just got back to my hotel) Also, well fought EKU!

6

u/dabanana27 Southern Utah • Oregon Aug 30 '26

To think if our special teams could block we’d be up 6 points rn. We blew many games the last few years under coach fitz due to poor special teams discipline.

3

u/PROUDgrizHATER Montana State • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

BK- Have it your way.

2

u/SteezoTouchdown FCS Aug 30 '26

Beating utah teams aint for all of us, Gris.

u/G1NGER Boise State Broncos • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

Dogshit

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

We all Thunderbirds tonight

10

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

We have the best running back in the FCS… RUN THE FUCKING BALL

7

u/SandmanTX131 Montana State • Texas A&M Aug 30 '26

Could I interest you in an Ah Yat deep shot instead? 

1

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies Aug 30 '26

Frustrates me to no end. Ah Yat is trash at deep balls, and that’s all SUU gave us

6

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

Meanwhile, Tennessee State is flirting with field goal range, down 2 with 1:54 to play against Jackson State.

Great endings all around FCS tonight.

5

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Man Southern Utah has to clean up the special teams lol

6

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

Montana is going to make me stay up past my bedtime.

6

u/Crispy_Whale Montana Grizzlies • Oregon State Beavers Aug 30 '26

Tripp - "looks like it's a penalty on Southern Utah"

-Ends up being a penalty on the Griz

7

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

Never expect the A Team on ESPN+

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

What the fuck just happened

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

LETS GO SOUTHERN UTAH

I'm not counting you furry bastards out until the clock says 0:00

3

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

WOW

4

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

Rain in Missoula?

7

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

"The Mecca" feels so forced. There's gotta be a better nickname, Griz fans

8

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

Gotta say it feels good to be watching FCS football and shitposting on the gameday threads again.

1

u/imperfectPK Stephen F. Austin • Michigan Te… Aug 30 '26

Good win for us for a terrible record for us at McNeese. Could have played a better 4th quarter. Much to work on.

2

u/OfficerBatman Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks Aug 30 '26

Week zero mistakes happened. Overall, the team looked really, really good for about 85% of the game. Gotta fix the mistakes, but even with the mistakes SFA dominated the vast majority of the game.

2

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Can a former Montana student tell me: can y'all see the entire far end of the field from the student section? It always looks like the students are breaking their necks to see the north endzone

1

u/Aquatic-assassin Montana Grizzlies • Kentucky Wildcats Aug 30 '26

It depends on how tall the people in front and to the side of you are. Stadium has full visibility from nearly all, if not all, of the seats

3

u/slothbron Montana State Bobcats • Big Sky Aug 30 '26

It's a rectangle; it's no different than literally any other sideline seats in a stadium.

1

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Their stadium is steep and close to the sideline. It feels like you might not be able to see the entire field from the corner

1

u/join_the_creed Montana State • Washington Sta… Aug 30 '26

When I was in the MSU band in 2016 we sat across the field from the student section. It's not too bad. A little tough to see the close sideline but other than that not terrible.

1

u/slothbron Montana State Bobcats • Big Sky Aug 30 '26

The steepness actually helps you see more; you don't have to look over the crowd as much.

8

u/NastyWideOuts Ole Miss • Montana State Aug 30 '26

Turned the Griz game on and almost got blinded by actual stadium lighting

6

u/PROUDgrizHATER Montana State • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

Vigen looks moderately pissed.

Let’s just get our guys outta there healthy

2

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

He chewed out the offense after the first drive

2

u/Crispy_Whale Montana Grizzlies • Oregon State Beavers Aug 30 '26

We might lose

9

u/knook Montana State Bobcats • Big Sky Aug 30 '26

Is it Christmas already?

7

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Taco is taking some big fucking hits tonight

10

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

lol Sac State lost

7

u/0x196 Montana State Bobcats Aug 30 '26

2

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

What a touchdown for Howard. A quick little slant and right past the defense.

Howard takes a 29-24 lead with the 2PC pending.

2

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Aug 30 '26

Conversion good. 31-24 Howard with 2:41 to play.

3

u/AZBiGii Montana Grizzlies • Wyoming Cowboys Aug 30 '26

This is the third time the commentators say SUU is getting a 15 yd penalty when it's obviously us getting it lmao

u/Low_Distance_7195 Montana State • Notre Dame Aug 30 '26

The new guy can’t spot the ball for shit.

u/MsoDigger Montana • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

Well the chop block should have been called. The late hit wasn’t egregious

4

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako Aug 30 '26

87-0 is a wild score

4

u/Emerald_Hoax Tennessee Tech • Marching Band Aug 30 '26

Amazing performance from Tech! Wofford worries me, but right now stuffing UTC's win streak is on the mind. Wings up!

Ahem… moving on from that.. also why tf did the Utah Tech commentator call him “The Don” and then do an impression 😭

u/NastyWideOuts Ole Miss • Montana State Aug 30 '26

And it wasn’t even a very good impression 😂

u/Tufoguy Towson Tigers • Navy Midshipmen Aug 30 '26

I hope Stetson got paid decent money to go to Brookings because otherwise why would they schedule that game

Week 0 is such a sudden jolt into the football season. It was 105 yesterday. This is a Saturday in fall? Sheesh

2

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

It’s funny, as soon as football is on I feel like it’s fall. Had to remind myself today that it’s still August

u/MsoDigger Montana • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

The fair catch on the onside attempt is such a heads up play.

1

u/AZBiGii Montana Grizzlies • Wyoming Cowboys Aug 30 '26

Never even thought that would be a thing

2

u/MsoDigger Montana • Montana Tech Aug 30 '26

IIRC it’s been a rule for 5+ years now and I think you can even call a fair catch after one bounce as well.

u/sernameistakentry Idaho State • Oregon State Aug 30 '26

I feel bad for Sac State fans

Just checked the SDSU score. Oof.

u/DeZeeuw2 South Dakota State Jackrabbits Aug 30 '26

Got that first one out of the way, got everyone some playing time. We'll see what next week looks like.

6

u/sernameistakentry Idaho State • Oregon State Aug 30 '26

Upset Northwestern, I dare you.

Why the fuck did they even schedule you guys? They’re just waiting for disaster 😭

5

u/DeZeeuw2 South Dakota State Jackrabbits Aug 30 '26

There might end up being more SDSU fans there than NU fans. Check out the tickets available: https://www.ticketmaster.com/northwestern-wildcats-football-vs-south-dakota-evanston-illinois-09-05-2026/event/040064F6B090B64C

I’m hitting the road next weekend, driving there from Brookings. Really excited to see a game at that pretty lakeside stadium, and hoping we give them a good fight or maybe even win

5

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

I'm so happy the Gophers stopped scheduling Valley teams. High risk, zero reward in playing them

Now if any Valley teams want to schedule my Cats, I'm all for it

3

u/Ilickedthecinnabar South Dakota State • Marching Band Aug 30 '26

Lol...the Gophers didn't want to risk losing a 3rd time in a row to the Bison

3

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Hope we renew another home and home, I love playing you guys. Such a fun matchup

5

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Yes please. Every other year in perpetuity is my dream (annual might be too much lol)

3

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Yeah I think every other year is about right lol. Hope our ADs make it happen

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota Aug 30 '26

Oh GOD it's this ref. He might be the worst in the conference

u/Low_Distance_7195 Montana State • Notre Dame Aug 30 '26

I just said the exact same thing

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Aug 30 '26

That was a grown man sack!
