Real Thorn in our side. Here is the PSU release.

Griz fans are going to load up the stadium for sure. Sheesh! PSU fans are going to have to get their tickets early. Hopefully, PSU will limit the number of tickets for Griz fans. What a headache.

We can't seem to catch a break.

True. The one game we can actually exceed capacity at Hillsboro. We had 11000 at the Park two years ago. If I recall, the last time we played Montana at Hillsboro, they didn't bring in the portable bleachers.

The Griz fans were wondering if they'd have to buy 3-ticket packages "again" like last time. Seems like PSU isn't playing that game this time... they dropped most ticket prices a bit, it appears.

Anti-positive thinking never sees the solution.

The solution simply appears to be, as the home team, to control ticket sales. Allow an allotment for the visiting team, sell and promote to Portland State fans. I think we rather easily get 11,000 to a Montana game. Allow, say, 500, for Montana fans. Our home game, our tickets, our fans. We are not helpless.

Can take Montana.

Give them what to cheer for!

Got my tickets. Taking my brother (Griz alum). :thumbdown:

I know, but he's springing for the tickets to Oregon State. :thumb:

Griz starting QB suffered a horrible and ugly injury today against Savannah State, Sad to say he most likely will not be playing football anymore. Really gruesome. Thoughts and prayers to the Griz football program. Some things are bigger than football,

Yeah that injury is such a sad thing. I would rather play Montana with a healthy Reese Phillips. I hope the best for that kid and wish him well in his recovery.

 

[BroadwayVik]

Right on.

May the recovery of the fallen wounded be effectual.

I'm not sure what part of "really gruesome" made me google that, but dang, that was gruesome, as advertised. A foot just isn't supposed to point that way.

Poor kid. Sit for years and wait for your shot and then to have it all taken away. :-(

Really sad twist of fate.

Interesting.

The team voted to play this game in Missoula versus out in Hillsboro according to Barnum, but it was too late.

Maybe they would rather play in front 23,000 Montana fans than 5,000 Montana fans.

Well, who wouldn't.

 

[bigskyconf]

It's a long way back to the Kingston from Hillsboro. I was wondering where Barnum was buying the beer when we beat Montana.

Biggest meltdown from the Griz fans over on eGriz after yesterday's EWU game. They will all be in a feisty mood out here this weekend. As Vik fans, we must remember to be polite and cordial while Barnum and company are beating their butts all over the field. :thumb:

Plenty. Of. Seats. Available.

One of the Montana sections is practically unsold, though most of them are. Portland State sections, about what you'd expect. GA... impossible to tell and who really wants to sit there?
