. . . Liveblogging the NC Game . . . Updated as necessary. Griz 21 - JMU 31 FINAL

A Good Sign

Friday, December 17th, 2004

I just realized that in years that the Spousal Unit™ is pregnant and the Griz are playing for the championship, the Griz are undefeated. (OK, so those events have only coincided once, but we'll take all the signs we can get!)

Today’s The Day!

Friday, December 17th, 2004

It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I'd chime in and let you know that I'm still kicking. It's been a rough week, with me on the road, taking finals and other things going on out there in The Big Blue Room. (Busy place, that Big Blue ...

Weekend Wrap-Up

Sunday, December 12th, 2004

Wow! If any of ya'll aren't I-AA playoff fans, I hope you caught both games this weekend, and playoff fever along with it. It was something else watching the sideline reporter for ESPN2 holding up a decibel meter, and watching that thing edge up toward 100 (and that was during ...

Is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo? Griz 34 - SHSU 13 GO GRIZ!!!!

A Little Smack Talk

Thursday, December 9th, 2004

I know that all ya'll are probably getting tired of my yapping about the upcoming I-AA semifinal game that pits the hallowed and beloved Griz against the hated and reviled BearKats of Sam Houston State (a/k/a "Shizoo"). BUT (you knew that was coming, didn't you?): You're going to have to put up ...

4 Days is a Long Time to Wait

Tuesday, December 7th, 2004

I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle the next four days, waiting for the hallowed and beloved Griz to take on the BearKats of Sam Houston State in the I-AA semi-final matchup. This could be one helluva game. Earlier in the season, SHSU handed UM a ...

Let’s Get Ready To Rumbllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeee……

Saturday, December 4th, 2004

I doubt that anyone cares too much, but I'll update the scores here throughout the game. That is, if ESPN2 will cut away from a (*$#&%#($*& 30 point basketball game. Cripes. Griz 3 - Wildcats 0 at 10:26 in the 1st quarter. Griz 3 - Wildcats 3 at 7:08 in the 1st ...

Beside Myself

Saturday, December 4th, 2004

If it seems like this blog has been lacking focus, and a little distracted this week, it's because I have been lacking focus and distracted this week. If you've been reading this blog for more than, say, one or two days, you probably know that the hallowed and beloved Griz are ...

Well, I’m Jazzed

Monday, November 29th, 2004

If you follow the I-AA playoffs (or even if you don't), here's why it beats the BCS to shreds. I've already talked about what the hallowed and beloved Griz did to the Demons of Northwestern State (Southland Conference Champs), but there was also all kinds of other good stuff going on. The ...

Griz vs. Demons

End of 1st Quarter: Griz 14 — Demons 0 At the Half: Griz 28 — Demons 0 End of 3rd Quarter: Griz 56 — Demons 7 [Ouch. --Ed] End of 4th Quarter: Griz 56 — Demons 7 Now, we just have to cheer for New Hampshire to win ...

I-AA Playoffs Begin

Saturday, November 27th, 2004

It's the first round of the I-AA playoffs, and we find the beloved and hallowed Grizzlies going up against the Demons of Northwest (LA) State. There are quite a few people who think that I-A should abandon the BCS in favor of a 16-team playoff format, as is used in I-AA. However, ...

The Big Day

Saturday, November 20th, 2004

Today is the big day for the Griz-Cat game, our annual cross-state rivalry here in Montana. This is the 104th meeting of the two teams, and is one of the longest-running rivalries in college football. Today at Casa del MTPolitics, beer and chili are on the menu. Here are everyone's prognostications from the ...

Awright Chumps!

Thursday, November 18th, 2004

It's that time of year again, when the hallowed and beloved Griz suit up to administer a drubbing to the hated and reviled 'Cats. Saturday looks to be a chilly, but sunny, day at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The 'Cats are coming off an emotional overtime loss to EWU, while the Griz ...

How ‘Bout That

Looks like the Missoulian has put together the Griz Blog. [UPDATE 07:24]:  My bad, it looks to be the property of the Missoula Convention and Visitors Bureau, but the posts are signed as "missoulian."
