I would think Brett Smith could beat the Griz by himself. Wyoming isn't hopeless, probably win this one with ease.

I would take Wyoming over Montana.

How many defensive players did Montana lose from a team that got spanked at home by a southern team...In the cold? I feel fairly confident that under Bohl and Vigen, Wyoming offensive coordinator and past offensive coordinator at NDSU, that Wyoming will run the football and look the same as what they did at NDSU.

It's going to take some time for Bohl to get the right players in place for his systems to work IMO. Remember WY was a spread offense and those players don't exactly fit a west coast run first system. I would think this is the best opportunity for Montana to finally beat them. Should be a good game but I'll take the Griz.

I'm assuming the title should have read "first FBS win"??? I'm shocked to learn Montana doesn't have any wins over 1-A or FBS teams. Is that really accurate??? If so, either they have only scheduled top tier teams or just haven't play many games against them as part of their strategy to schedule OOC home games instead of going on the road to face 1-A or FBS teams. That program has been too good historically not to have beaten someone over the years if they had been playing them consistently. All they need to do is put Idaho on the schedule. Might even be able to get them at home if they really try.

I think it's correct that they don't generally schedule FBS teams.

A little while back I know they played Oregon and Tennessee (losing both) in order to shore up something that went wrong financially.

Montana doesn't play a lot of FBS teams because the school doesn't need to. Let's be honest, the majority of FCS schools play FBS schools because of the paycheck. It's not about being afraid to play the big boys, it's all about the money. Montana typically generates more revenue in a home game than an FBS school is willing to pay to play the Griz, thus there be no need to play an FBS school.

As for the claim that the Griz have never beaten an FBS school is untrue. Back after Idaho left for the WAC in 1996, the Griz and the Vandals reinstated their "Little Brown Stein" rivalry from 1999-2003. The Griz won 4 out of those 5 matchups:

1999: Montana vs Idaho (Missoula, MT) - L 30-33
2000: Montana @ Idaho (Pullman, WA) - W 45-38
2001: Montana vs Idaho (Missoula, MT) - W 33-27
2002: Montana @ Idaho (Moscow, ID) - W 38-31
2003: Montana vs Idaho (Missoula, MT) - W 41-28

After losing 4-straight, Idaho wouldn't travel to Missoula to play the Griz anymore and basically said that Montana and Idaho could continue to play each other as long as each game was played in Moscow. Montana laughed and said, "see ya later" and the two haven't met since. Some of this might have to do with the WAC not allowing its members to play in FCS stadiums.

Here's a list of games played against FBS teams since 1990.

1990: Montana @ Oregon State (Corvallis, OR) - W 22-15
1992: Montana @ Kansas State (Manhattan, KS) - L 12-27
1993: Montana @ Oregon (Eugene, OR) - L 30-35
1996: Montana @ Oregon State (Corvallis, OR) - W 35-14
1999: Montana vs Idaho (Missoula, MT) - L 30-33
2000: Montana @ Idaho (Pullman, WA) - W 45-38
2001: Montana @ Hawaii (Wailuku, HI) - L 12-30
2001: Montana vs Idaho (Missoula, MT) - W 33-27
2002: Montana @ Idaho (Moscow, ID) - W 38-31
2003: Montana vs Idaho (Missoula, MT) - W 41-28
2005: Montana @ Oregon (Eugene, OR) - L 14-47
2006: Montana @ Iowa (Iowa City, IA) - L 7-41
2011: Montana @ Tennessee (Knoxville, TN) - L 16-42

Total Record: 6-7.

Now with our game against Wyoming coming up this fall, I think the Griz have a very good shot at taking the Cowboys down and getting their first win over them in 14 tries. Wyoming has struggled against other Big Sky schools the last few years. Montana has more talent than the Big Sky schools that Wyoming struggled with, but the question is the coaching... Will they be able to utilize the talent to their potential? I hope so. It'll be a good game, and I'm gonna go with my homer pick and say the Griz get a win against Wyoming.

Great post, thanks!

I knew it was Oregon and someone else back in the mid 2000's that Montana played to shore up a financial problem. Forgot they played Iowa. It's too bad neither of those games ended up being competitive. Also a disappointing showing down in Tennessee a few years ago.


Wouldn't it be something if the Griz beat Wyoming this season on a late 4th quarter fake field goal TD pass?? Montana fans from 2003 will know why that would be ironic.

Montana has ZERO chance against any FBS team.

We don't have an identity, we don't have leadership and we don't have the coaching staff. We barely compete in the FCS, we are consistently inconsistent and will lose big at Wyoming.

I don't believe this. Bohl is taking a spread team to a west coast team. Even at NDSU he didn't win right away. Hopefully Montana catches Wyoming at the wrong time. Plus with how he acted, and the **** talking from Wyoming fans it would be really funny.

MplsBison
May 12th, 2014, 08:55 PM
True, Bohl didn't win right away at NDSU.

Except for that time in the second game he ever coached at NDSU, when the team flew out to Montana and rallied from a large 2nd half deficit, pulled off a historic fake fieldgoal TD pass and won the game.

...going up against Hauck in his second game he ever coached (anywhere). Not sure what that has to do with Delaney vs Bohl 11 years later in Wyoming.

31-28 Wyoming. We give up 400-500 yards. Jordan Johnson is 25-50 for 300-400 yards, 4 TDs, and 1 pick. And 4 sacks. Our playcalling is still a **** show. Defense is probably pretty ****ty across the board. We go 0-for-2 on FGs before giving up and just going for it every time.

BS, Hauck had been a coach with at least 4 different schools before he took the head job. As a head coach it might have been his second game, but that was also true for Bohl.

Clearly I was referring to head coaching gigs, as opposed to, say, special teams...

Seriously, we also had embarrassing losses to the Cats and Idaho State that year, and they bring those games up about 1/1000000th as much as Bison fans

The Bison played on your field, with 36 scholarships vs 63 for the griz, and we won. The griz have not beaten the Bison since 1941. Those are some significant statistics. It was amazing to see how far the chins of the griz faithful dropped from halftime until the end of the game. Wide right, Wide right, and once more with feeling WIDE RIGHT! xlolx

That's right just like that cold weather team from South Carolina(Coastal Carolina) that handled the griz so easily last fall. Maybe the griz were hibernating already or was it obsessive fear on who they might have to play the next weekend. My guess would be a fair amount of both.

You know what. Even at that game when the loss was still hurting and the Bison had won I didn't see any fans disrespecting the Bison Players. The people in my section gave them a "good job" clap after the game and when exiting the stadium where the opposing players are going into the locker room and fars are walking down the stairs all you could hear was Griz fans saying "great team, good game" etc.

I really do not want this place to be like eGriz or any of the other team boards for the most part because I like discussing these topics with the more well rounded perspectives of the national audience so if we just start doing what the team boards it's gonna be just like the team boards which just doesn't appeal to me.

eGriz is a great team site but I just never could take some of the people that know everything and have little humor about their own team so just don't spend time there. Long winded way of saying that I have no idea what they are saying there but if it's people doing the crap that little b's is doing then it's coming from some sadly uninformed individuals. Sorry but we got em' too just not so much here from what I've seen.

I was just saying it isn't 100% love and affection coming from the Griz fans. Every team we play talks plenty of **** and so do we. Some are bigger **** talkers than others but it's not very different. I just happened to look over there today for a completely different reason and saw some of the same things.
I don't disagree with you. All I am saying is this jingoism against other teams doesn't help healthy discussion. The **** talking can stay at egriz and bville.

While I don't particularly disagree, this is a place where those fans congregate therefore it is inevitable.

Montana has ZERO chance against any FBS team.

We don't have an identity, we don't have leadership and we don't have the coaching staff. We barely compete in the FCS, we are consistently inconsistent and will lose big at Wyoming.

Speaking of.......what's yours for not coming to this game Coulson? If you are still dressing up in that Grizo skin costume......you are forgiven anything else is a cop out.

Get your black ass on a plane and come watch me drink.

Maybe this year but when Bohl gets his recruits to fit his power west-coast system, Wyoming will be a good team.

I guess "good" is a relative term. Will they get to the point where they're getting to some obscure bowl game on a semi-consistent basis? Possibly. Are they going to challenge the likes of Boise State or Fresno in the MWC? Doubtful, IMO.

I think Bohl will make Wyo a MWC contender but he will be gone if he gets them anywhere respectable. Wyo is a stepping stone to bigger 'fish' for coaches.

Plus the system he runs is not very common in the 1A division. The MW likes to sling the ball and now here comes a team that will like to pound the ball and control the clock. IMO, Bohl could make Wyo a very good team but he will be gone before it happens.

I'll be very surprised if Bohl ever turns Wyoming into a MWC contender. Bohl is a good coach, but no one has ever won anything there.

2 good 8 win seasons and he is gone. And to put this is perspective Wyoming is the only university in the state of WY, the population of Laramie is 30k vs fargo more than 200k in the metro area. That makes Fargo the size of a lot of bigger college towns. There is a lot to do in Fargo and the surrounding areas + there are probably 40k students in F-M area. The only thing Wyoming has going is that it has a lot higher endowment(helps being the only university in the state 103million vs 330 million).
I think he will make them into a solid team behind Boise, Utah State, Fresno State.

You won't hear me argue against Laramie being a terrible city.

I still think Bohl could have easily found a better job than Wyoming. He did himself no favors taking that job, history shows it's very tough to make a winner out of that place.

The truth is if he hadn't messed around with the coeds and did some other shady stuff he would have probably been gone after 2007. We did beat the MAC champions and a Big 10 team in the same year and were 10-1.
I am grateful for the 3 NC at NDSU but Bohl was no saint. I do agree with you he probably could have gotten a much nicer job. I think Wyoming is short stop on the way to BCS or NFL.

His resume was as hot as it was ever going to get. I'm grateful for him helping get the program back to where it should be, but I'm glad Klieman has the reigns.

...or we just have a really poor defensive scheme, a subpar secondary, a spectacularly bad FG unit, and a senile head coach.

Have you seen it over at egriz? They aren't any different from any other team we are playing.

Dude, disrespect is the name of the game when it comes to any message board
