Well, at least Stevie Nicks came out of Phoenix, Arizona. That's one good thing I can say about it. Hope for a good game. May the best team win, which, in this case, I think that might just happen.

NAU vs Montana Game
- Thread starter crashNAU88
- Start date
I keep reading crap about NAU's superior offense and defense, but the stats sure don't back up all of the talk. Overall it appears to be pretty even.

lol, NAU has never won in wash griz?... seriously?? So we haven't lost a home game to them since the early 80's. Yeah I wouldn't call it "living in the past" to think that we win again at home after a 25 year winning streak. I don't care how good your team is, they lay turds in wash griz.
As for NAU's argument that they can handle intimating places (that they lose at anyway) read what some actual players have said about wash griz.
South Dakota State quarterback Thomas O'Brien made friends in Griz Nation when, after the Jackrabbits lost 17-3 at No. 6 Nebraska Saturday, he said Memorial Stadium in Lincoln wasn't as intimidating as some.
"Coming here, we thought this would be the loudest crowd we've ever faced," he told the Omaha World-Herald. "But I'd say Montana was quite a bit louder."
O'Brien played in the classic 61-48 playoff game that SDSU lost at Montana last December.
Eddy, Northern Colorado's defensive leader, can also attest to Washington-Grizzly Stadium's decibel level. Michigan State's Spartan Stadium isn't close.
"Montana was a lot louder," Eddy said.

in fairness, i don't think this comment had anything do do with a championship game which really would have made it a very stupid post. some 'jack fan told you griz fans to get off the tracks cause the train was coming through. :lol: a post or 2 after that gojacks decided to write "choo choo". still pretty lame...but maybe not QUITE as lame as it appears....
carry on...

Ok i can see that. Just being a Griz fan i forget not everyone aspires for NCs,just beating us. In a way i was giving him more credit than he deserved.
Good catch, ILTC. I bet you're right on the train. Dumb, but not as dumb as it appeared.
As for the "We have professional sports and FBS teams in our state so it's understandable we don't support an FCS team argument", I find it somewhat of a cop-out. Is there some truth to it? Of course. But look at App State, Ga Southern, and Youngstown as examples. Those are programs within states with all sorts of other FBS/Pro teams, and they're well-supported. I think too many poor drawing programs use that argument as a crutch.

Intelligent? Sane? Really? My family has its doubts.
Haven't seen much of Black Falkin here, on anygivensaturday.com or over on championshipsubdivision.com in quite a while? Guess he only comes out to play for one game a year.
I'll second Alpha's post on the driving comment. People don't drive slow in the overall Phoenix metro area. Maybe in Apache Junction and Sun City where the sidewalks roll up at 8 pm? People generally drive like crackheads caught on fire throughout most of the valley.
Don't know about the choo-choo comment? It could be in reference to NAU blowing the train whistle after every score in Flagstaff? That or it was just a stupid comment that I'm wasting time thinking about.
Back to work now....

If the Griz lose this but win the rest, yes, they make playoffs still. The NCAA loves the Griz money in the playoffs. If the Jacks lose but win the rest I still think they can make the playoffs, but would likely just squeak in.
Good luck the rest of the year, hope you make the playoffs.
