I know this is off the fly fishing subject but I can’t resist. The University of Montana Grizzlies takes on the Wofford Terriers tomorrow in the FCS play-offs. I am a huge Griz fan! I went to school at the U of M and my wife played volleyball for the lady Griz. So if there are any Terrier fans out there I just want you to know that your season ends tomorrow in Missoula. 🙂
GO GRIZ!!!!
p.s. Nice win by the Razorbacks today Zach!

Hippie man I am at the game and the momentum changed big time right before half time! I feel good about the second half!

Uh….hmmmmmm
My son was recruited by Wofford to play tight end. He ended up at another school….but we really liked the campus. For those that don’t know….it’s the smallest D-1 (actually D-1AA or whatever they call it now) college in the U.S. with about 1200 students. The coaches told my son that 1 in 5 males on campus are in the football program. They have a state-of-the-art football facility thanks in part to the Carolina Panthers. They (Panthers) hold off-season practice there. Synthetic turf and all. They are truly a David vs. Goliath.
Wofford won the Southern Conference a few years ago and made it to the championship if I remember right. Anyhow….I just saw a score scroll across the bottom of the TV screen….did Wofford win by one point?
Go Terriers…..woof…woof.
Yes Drifter my beloved Griz lost by one point yesterday in a very hard fought battle and very good football game. Wofford marched down the field and scored the go ahead touch down with 35 seconds left on the clock. On the kick off the Griz return man made it out to the fifty yard line and the Griz had two time outs left. We manage to get to the thirty yard line and there is 5 seconds on the clock and we have the best kicker in D-1 FCS…the kick is up….and it is wide left. Tough way for that young man to finish his career as a Grizzly. He holds all of the records as a kicker. Longest, most, most in a game, best percentage, you name it he has it. But I have a feeling that is the one he will remember. Kind of a shame when you think about it.
Anyhow my hat goes off to Wofford. They are a good football team and I think they have what it takes to go all the way.
Here is what the Wofford coach had to say about the game.
Feeling the quiet heartbreak of 20,000 shivering fans, I almost wished I could grab hold of the PA microphone to express my admiration. Anyone who tells you it wasn’t painfully cold in the stands Saturday is bluffing. Yet there they were, all those maroon-clad enthusiasts, doing everything in their power to help the Griz.
“Tough and classy,” Wofford coach Mike Ayers said of Griz fans. “I’ve never been to a place where they root so hard against you and then after you play your tails off and you win, they congratulate you.
“I thought that 82,000 at (North) Carolina (State) was a tough crowd, but it doesn’t hold a candle to these people. That’s what makes it so tough here.”
All right here is the deal. I have a blackberry. Unfortunately it goes everywhere with me incase work need to get in touch with me. Well when I noticed that someone replied to this topic I just had to check it and then of course respond. I just wish my blackberry had a camera so I could have posted a picture too! 🙂
