My giflfriend and I were on a walk last night, when we passed Washington Grizzly stadium. I told her that I missed football, and couldn't wait to for next season. She laughed at me, and said "are you serious? Its February!" She just doesn't understand...

I am the same way. I get really excited during recruiting, but this quickly turns into anxiety that I won't see any of these kids on the field for at least 7 months, if not a couple of years.

I start missing real football every Sunday during the season. It's hard to get excited about the NFL, especially with all the long commercial breaks.

Ok, you have really question if this girl is "the one" if she doesn't even get the basics of being a Griz football fan :D

Secondly at least you can walk past WAGRIZ!!! The closest I can get is e-griz and that's a very poor substitute.

My girl is very understand of my needs to attend all of the home football games, and puts up with me all year during football season (she even lets me watch all the bowl week games with hardly a peep).
Speaking of Wash-Griz, I saw a picture the other day from the 1987 football poster of the stadium without the north or south endzone seats. Man, have we come along way. You really should try to make it to a game, GrizFamily, especially if you haven't been in a while.

My girl, who also happens to be my wife and mother of LBKid, has done a total 180 on football...at least when it comes to her "baby". When he was nine, all she did was close her eyes until the play was over and then make sure everyone was able to get up. Now we're down to the Kid's last two seasons and we're already booking flights and hotels. She actually gets teary eyed when she thinks about how few games are left.

LBMom still needs me to explain why downing a punt inside the five is a good thing...especially if her son downed it. But she loves seeing her "little guy" in those great big pads, with that dirty face and eye black all smeared after the game. When his name is announced after a play, she lights up. She will never understand why I can watch and enjoy a game when our son is not playing, but she has come a long way. Count LBMom among those who are really missing football...at least I-AA football.

Ok, now put yourself in my shoes. When the stadium was new I was a Junior (I think, those college memories are a little fuzzy). It may seem now like it was much smaller and quieter, but having spent the two previous seasons attending games at Dornblazer, WAGRIZ seemed like the superdome to us. And I do get back to WAGRIZ at least once a year and enjoy the heck out of it, but it sure would be nice to just be able to pick and go for a walk around it anytime I like. You see what I mean now?

Great post LBPop. My oldest son is now 9 and my wife and I had the discussion about him playing football. She of course said no, and I said yes. So far I'm holding firm. I hope in the end she will become as comfortable with his playing as LBMom has. Great story.

It's great to go to a school that has a great basketball program like we do at Western. We're getting votes to be in the top 25 and are favorites to win the sun belt and make the big dance!

But once thats over....well then I'll be bored.

I do see what you mean. My parents went to the U in the 70s, and attended all their games at dornblaser (although Im not sure how many games they attended, basketball was the sport of choice back then). Its great to see what we have now, and anticipate where we are heading.

Trust an old Dad on this. If your son plays football your wife will learn the game. It's genetic. :nod: :nod: :nod:

That is true too. I was friends with Krysko in Shelby, and basketball was king when I started school, but the Griz football dynsasty was well underway by the time I graduated. Good times. I actually sat on the grassin both the North and South end zones and watched a game. I would go back to those times in a heart beat.

Enjoy your time at the U. It was a great time for me. I think I did just about everything imaginable while I was in Missoula.
