Montana-MSU Semi-Finals

[Seattle Eagle]

Must be nice to be in the playoffs.

The question is, who do you want to win?

 

[Hambone]

Can they both lose?

Montana fans are such trash. I've had so many bad encounters with Montana fans online. One tried to call Cheney some methed out shit hole then I had to send him pictures of billboards in Montana that said don't sell your body for meth. Also heard from security at a game they have to close down that path from the upper parking lot down to the SRC when the players walk by cause some drunk Montana fan tried to fight a Eastern player. I always root for the non Montana team.

Montana State won. I'm wondering without NDSU in the picture if they can win it all.

I'd say they are the favorites to win it.

Shame, we won't be the last big sky team to win a national championship.

Has another Big Sky team won it since us? Obviously we lost in 2018 and MSU has gone a couple of times and lost as well. Don't recall if Montana has gone to one during that time period.

Nope.

 

[Eagle Talon]

I'd root for any other Big Sky teams in a National Championship other than the 2 Montana schools. Can't stand either of them.

 

[E-Wu Tang Clan]

Its probably for the good of the conference a Big Sky team win a national championship instead of another Missouri Valley team like every year.

Montana went during the 2023 season, got whooped by SDSU 23 to 3.

Montana and Montana State, even Eastern, have played in the championship game... but no one has won it.

James Madison and Sam Houston State are the only non-MVC teams to have won a championship since 2010. And they aren't FCS teams anymore.

What's crazy is that prior to NDSU's run from 2011-15, no MVC team had won the championship since 1997... that was the year Youngstown State beat us in the semis and went on to win the title.

I'm not sure which Semi-final loss to Youngstown was worse - the 1997 one or the 2016 one. I was at both, and both were games we should have won but lost in the final seconds.

Catching a ball behind someone's back is crazy. Wasn't it Ketner Kupp too?

I know? Never said they did.

And every MVC team has had to step their game up. It's why we should want Montana State to win, it forces everyone to step up their game. If the Big Sky were even as good as a few seasons ago, Eastern only gets 3 wins this last season.
