Montana Hosts I-AA Playoff Games

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

In a rather stunning surprise, Montana State has been tapped to host a playoff game against the Purple Paladins of Furman. The 7-4 'Cats not only made the playoffs, but get their first game at home. No surprise: the Griz host the Cowboys of McNeese State. The I-AA (which has ...

That Explains It

Friday, November 10th, 2006

My beloved and hallowed Stillers are having a rough go of it this season. Mostly, I think it can be chalked up to mental mistakes, which have lead to stupid plays and scads of turnovers. Craig Henry has a scenario that is the stuff of nightmares.

Thank You, KXLH

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

Thank you, KXLH for trading NFL gameday coverage of the defending Super Bowl champions for farqing infomercials. I mean, it's not like they were playing one of the toughest offenses in the NFC or anything like that. <sarcasm>Yet, we still get to see the Denver/Cleveland game.</sarcasm> Well done, my friends. ...

Exactly What I Was Thinking

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Montana State football fans woke up Sunday morning asking themselves, "How?" How could their team come off a win over Division I-A Colorado and lose to Division II Chadron State College? Yeah. How does that happen?

The Quiet Dynasty

Monday, August 28th, 2006

The NYT has a great article about the Carroll College Saints, who are beginning their campaign for an unprecedented 5th consecutive national title. If I don't make it to Mizoo for a couple Griz games, I sure won't be lacking any football here.

Rice Retires with 49′ers

Friday, August 25th, 2006

It's good to see that Jerry Rice is going out with the 49'ers, even if it is just a formality. Jerry Rice is one of those increasingly rare breed of athletes who quietly did the job on the field, and that was all you heard about him. He wasn't squawking ...

AFC Championship Game

Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

Our Father, Who art in Pittsburgh Football be thy game. The Kingdom come, 4 Super Bowls won, On earth as it is in Heinz Field. Give us this day a playoff victory, And forgive us our penalties, As we defeat those who play against us. But lead us into a victory, And deliver us to Detroit. Amen. (Found here.) [Update:] I wouldn't ...

That Was Some Game

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Was that Steelers-Colts game a barn-burner or what? As I've commented elsewhere, I expected a close Steelers win. 27-20 was the score I predicted. As the third quarter came to a close, I was even surprised to find the score 21-3 in favor of the Steelers. As the game came to a ...

Comes the question: Can i see a clip of the play where joe theismann broke his leg? You bet your ass you can. My pleasure.

The Good Old Days

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

It used to be that playoff season was a cause for rejoicing for me just because we could watch other teams play besides Seattle and Denver. The regional nature of the NFL assumed that folks in the Rocky Mountain West must like one or the other or both. ...
