William & Mary @ Villanova (Friday)
Appalachian State @ Montana (Saturday)
------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pulling for a William & Mary win in their rematch with Villanova. W&M's defense if stout. 28-20 win for the Tribe. Tough to beat the same team twice in a season, especially when teams are this good.
I will *sigh* pull for a Grizzlies win in the other game. Home field is just too tough to deal with in Missoula. Armanti Edward's stellar career ends on Saturday in the snow, cold and din of that stadium. Close one but the Griz just have a knack of finding ways to win, even when they're not the dominant team on the field. 35-30, Griz.
As much as it pains me to say this, I want NAU's fellow conference compatriots to do well. I was born in Montana. My cousin played for the Griz. Most of their fanbase are pretty cool folks - believe it or not.
But part of me is starting to view their program like I view the NY Yankees. I'm ready for some fresh blood on top of the FCS and the Big Sky conference.
