NAU hoping this is their time of the decade

Posted on October 25, 2007 by Colin O'Keefe
While the Montana Grizzlies have defeated the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks nine times in a row, history is, in a way, on the 'Jacks side. This clip comes from an article on NAU's website.
NAU has lost nine consecutive games to UM, the last win coming during the 1997 season and corresponding to the last non-title season by the Grizzlies.

NAU won 27-24 in front of a sellout crowd at the Walkup Skydome on Oct. 25, 1997...Will 2007 provide the same magical game as the game 10 years ago?

History might be a leading indicator. NAU also posted victories over Montana in 1977 and 1987. Maybe there is magic in the air. The game in '77 was the Walkup Skydome opener and Tom Jurich hit a 54-yard field goal to win the game. In 1987, NAU won 24-17 in the second game of the season.
On a sidenote: this is NAU's homecoming. What does it mean when two teams play their homecoming against you even though you're best team in the conference?
