Well a field goal better than nothing. Seemed like Poerio pulled up on the pass to him rather than continuing his drag.

yah. My thoughts exactly.

Scott Marsh just said last year was the first time UCD beat Weber in Ogden. Not true.

Fly on the wall in Montana locker room at halftime to hear Bobby Hauck ………. Priceless.

No wonder Hawk always offers a scholarship to a good long snapper!

Yes. Unnoticed details on special teams can make or break things.

Robby Hauck gets an unsportsmanship penalty. The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.

we’ll stomp them in the mud their green will turn to blood in our hour of victory.

Oh well, doesn’t have the same ring with artificial turf.

Weber State memorial snap by Montana into end zone for a Montana State touchdown.

Chambers comes in with Mellot and Montana doesn’t have an answer to stop either. 14-7 Montana State.

Hauck is just a jerk. His press conferences are an embarrassment to the university.

Montana just scored to make 7-7

I think they have good linebackers. They have that Texas transfer - I think no. 46 or 47. He has a reputation for spearing and has had 2 targeting penalties. Montana fans hate him due to the targeting on their QB Johnson. The Aggie offense has really been clicking and I think the multitude of offensive options will be another key today.

Aggie wide receivers did a great job blocking last week (noted by Jason Eck). The tunnel screens went for some big yards because of that. I think an important key to today’s game for the Ags is to again be physical and win the trenches.

They showed a clip of Trent Tompkins doing his MJ move in the opening video/music montage on college game day.

You’d think Hawk would pitch in. After all I am sure he comes to this site for strategy and insight :-)

in and thanks for administrating.

better than cal state davis that I saw posted in locker room she
We played baseball against SJ State at the single A park there. Weird field, astroturf infield and natural turf outfield at the time. I hear Cal - Berkeley quite a bit. I don’t care what folks call us this weekend as long as we beat Sac State (Sac State High in Aggie Band-uh alma mater). I suppose the “new” administratively approved band wouldn’t know about that.

I’ll take it if it results in anything like the Idaho game with similar prediction. I thin the line is something like Aggies +7. I think South Dakota State folks (and to some extent Montana State folks) have more confidence than we do. Of course they both would like to see a UCD victory.

It absolutely will be a sellout. Heard SRO “seats” going for $200. Although I will say that folks started leaving the UCD game at half when it was still close. It was a wet cold night then but not nearly as cold as it will be on Saturday - but unless it is a blowout, it will be packed all game.

And to your other point - better to have both schools in same conference and division as you note. I don’t think there is a more talked about rivalry in all of FCS.

Sad that people want to resolve conflict by killing. Earthly lives ended for the victims and essentially life ended for the perpetrator.

agreed. That’s why it is good to start ranked high. You have to work your way out of the top 25. Also I have heard regarding the coaches poll that the coaches don’t vote- it may be the SID or Athletic Directors. And then probably using a ouija board (wait - that would take too much time).

Montana is almost always over-ranked. Part of it is name legacy, probably somewhat due to following/attendance “program” history. If they lose to Montana State (I think they will) they will have 4 league losses, no quality wins - as you noted a crap schedule. No way they should be considered in that eventuality. I think they schedule weak teams on purpose - no need to chase the money with an FBS game. They always seem to have more home than away games - and Missoula provides a definite home field advantage with a packed stadium and fans so close to the field. Man was it sweet to trounce them in 2018.
