Just one more

That's it. The team that was expected to lose somewhere around three games is 60 minutes from the U's third National Championship. The CAA and whoever can talk themselves up all they want. The truth is, Appalachian State is the only team that can come close to making the argument that they're more of an FCS powerhouse. After tonight, Montana Grizzlies will have appeared in six of the past fourteen FCS National Championship games.

Now there's just one more. That's it. I'm not sure what I can say. At this point, it's on the players. We'll be bringing thousands of Griz fans, because let's face it, we're as good as they come. We're 2,100 miles away and sold out all our tickets. Richmond had to send some back. We can yell but it's on the guys now.

To conclude, this is ridiculous. I am in Chattanooga, Tennessee, it was close to a 40 hour drive from the zoo. Now let's do this. Just a single game. Let's go Cole. Chase, carry em. Mr Touchdown has this. And Colt 'The Hair' Anderson will be knocking down anyone that makes it to the secondary. I honestly don't know how to wrap this up. It's completely unbelievable. The last Griz game I attend as a student will be a National Championship game.

Ironically, the first Griz game I ever watched was a title game. As a senior in high school, shortly after deciding I'd be going to the University of Montana for school, I watched our Griz get beat on that torn up field. Today will be different. We'll be driving out of this town with championship #4.

28-17 Griz.

Enjoy that 40 hr drive back brah! You all choked!! we embarassed you all on national television. That is what you get for beating JMU last week. All of VA wanted to see JMU vs Richmond. Now go back to Montana and learn how to play football. you can't handle the boys from the two up two down.

We did choke. No arguing with that. But you did say 'brah.' And 'you all' multiple times. That evens out the embarrassment levels a little bit.

Congrats to the Griz on an OUTSTANDING season. For all the great Griz fans, I'm sorry you came up a game short. It's a long trip to Chattanooga and an even longer trip home; I know as I experienced it in 2006 with UMass. Hold your heads high and rejoice in the journey, not the outcome! Merry Christmas to All!

yeah the CAA CAN talk all we want because we are FAR AND AWAY the best conference (four DIFFERENT teams have won national titles in the past decade).... after all, our #3 team (yes, number THREE) just won the national title. now go make some crystal meth and watch our specatcular east coast athletes kick the crap out of your clumsy, oafish, doofuses. or is it doofi?

Colin - February 4, 2009 8:06 AM

Yeah, we got there because we beat the #1 team (yes, number ONE) in the CAA.

Lance - February 10, 2009 12:54 AM

Hey, I was curious...championship number 4? We've only won two national championships, so would that one have been worth two?
