Griz fans rallying plans for parade, big game

[DuckDuckGriz]

Plans for Friday's Football Championship Subdivision title game are moving fast - as in Chase Reynolds fast.

The University of Montana Grizzlies leave Tuesday afternoon for Chattanooga, Tenn., and Missoula will send the team off in style - with a parade and motorcade through town.

All around Missoula on Monday, Grizmania was on the move. To wit:

- Griz fans have purchased more than 1,700 tickets to Friday night's game.

- The team send-off rally is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

- Two pre-game tailgate parties are planned in Tennessee on Friday afternoon.

- Hotels are booked.

- Planes are chartered.

- The team itinerary is set.

- And “Griz Nation” signs are at the print shop

Unfortunately no. Planning a trip to Thailand later in the year so I can't really afford to go to Chatty and still graduate on time .... Yeah I know graduation is overrated. I've been to every title game before. Kinda sucks not to go to this one, but I didn't think the Griz would be in Chatty like most people so I didn't really plan ahead.
