How good is it be in GRIZNATION?

[mtgrizfan4life]

This is a recent post from EGRIZ of 1st time GRIZ game experience. I cannot wait to hear of APPAHOLICS GRIZ experience. I hope you too have a great and safe time. This is exactly why I love GRIZNATION and am so proud of it.

I grew up south of Lethbridge about 25 miles north of the border, and became a Griz fan at a very early age due to the coverage we received from Great Falls television stations. I now live in Lethbridge, and this past weekend myself and three buddies who are all avid college footbal fans took the trip to Missoula to catch the Griz game. It was so nice to come down to a sports mad town whose fans genuinely care about athletics as opposed to Lethbridge.(Yes, we have major junior hockey which is great, but our college athletics is rather undesireable, and fan iterest is waning to say the least). Cudos to every fan at the game on saturday, you provided four Canadians with an atmosphere that we had to drive five hours to see. We thank you for that. I have been to CFL games in Calgary and Edmonton where the stadiums are larger, but let me say this, the 25,000 at Washington-Grizzly creates an atmosphere that far surpasses those seen at a CFL stadium that holds 35,000-50,000. I apologize for the length of the post, but this experience far exceeded my expectations, and now we want to make it a yearly trip.....If we can get tickets! Wow I've never seen such demand, I found some on Stubhub and bought them rght away. The the City of Missoula, and the Griz fans, thank you again, we will be back as soon as we can.

I wish I could edit the title, it should have read "how good is it to be in GRIZNATION?" I cannot type sometimes.

I may not be a member of Griz Nation, but I am definitely a supporter of theirs. Hopefully, Wofford will get another chance to face the Griz, preferably down here in South Carolina, because I am definitely a fan of their fan base and the quality of their people and would love to see another contest between the two schools.

I'm already planning to make a trip out to Missoula sometime, after I graduate.

When other Big Sky members came to Boone: NAU, EWU, Montana St., they were always asked to compare ASU and Montana.

Hearing their opinions - made me really want to see a game in Wa/Griz

Deal, but only if you PROMISE not to win this time. xsmiley_wix xbawlingx

No promises...but I promise you that Wofford's fan base will treat you just the same way you treated us. Just think: playoff football, cold drinks, and no snow...doesn't get much better then that.

Make fun of Wa-Griz if you want, but I've been to the Rock and I've been to Wa-Griz. The Rock doesn't hold a candle to that place. In scope or noise.

Now, I'll be at the new Rock this year, so we'll see how much has improved since 2006. As for Wa-Griz...maybe I'll be fortunate enough to fly out there sometime next season to see the new expansion.

Well, we can have snow too, if you want. Wouldn't want you to think you are at a disadvantage. ;)

That is better. Speaking of snow, anybody got a hotline up to the Mother Nature lady to see if she can conjure up some for Saturday?

Were you at the game last year? I'm a native Montanan and I froze my freaking ballz off. Can't imagine how it must have been for a Southerner. xeekx

How did you freeze your ballz off? Just wondering. Even my wife was toasty warm and took off her jacket mid way through the second quarter only to put it back on after we left to walk back to our car.

Honestly, KBS was loud last year. Actually has been loud the past couple of years - steady growth. Did you come 2006? If that was your last visit - you're in for a treat xnodx xnodx xnodx

Besides a night game at KBS is so much different. But being on Halloween and ESPN2? Boone will be rocking.

But yeah, this year is SOOOO much different that the past. Granted it was the first game against JU....but it's much louder. Probably still not that close to Wa/Griz where they're on top of the players and all. But it's very differnt.

Probably had to do with the fact that I was woefully under dressed and was standing in the shade in the south end zone. Now that I think about it, it was actually my toes that got frozen, not my balls. :D

woffords fan base=500 people......they don't even have a band

WHO HAS 15-17 thousand people at their games? who has 2,500, even though they LIE and say they had 8,000? jerry richardson must really hate to buy all the tickets so you don't have to tell the truth about your lack of attendance

You do realize that they make this stuff that comes in a bottle and makes your tummy all warm and in turn makes you warm all over. You should try some at the next game you go to. The problem with it is the UM doesn't like you to be using it when you are inside the stadium.

When have they lied about attendance? Please be specific.

15-17 thousand? Who is lying now?

parents day and homecoming we ALWAYS have that many....every time I have been to wofford y'all have 3,000 st the most....the paper the next day ALWAYS says 8,000.....i wonder why?

They always have 3,000 because it's The Citadel in the stadium...It always reads 8,000 to you because it's The Citadel.

Because everytime you come to Gibbs you bring the ghosts of the confederacy with you. How can we not count the honored dead that you drag with you?;)

That's why you put a little bit of Hot Cocoa in a thermos and fill it the rest of the way with the tummy warmer. xcoffeex

Are you going to be at the tailgates this weekend? Ours is just out side of the north endzone entrance and on the north side of Campus Drive. If you go past the Griz Motor Home that says "follow the bears" on the back we are two slots west of them. Stop by for a beer. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

Most of the out of towners from the site are going to be over at a tailgate that is in the same general location...as you walk out of the N. Endzone, hang a left and walk down the sidewalk and we will be at the tailgate spot right next to the Griz bus on the edge of the parking lot. It's right on the S. side of the street. It has a flag on top of it that says "Otis".

I'd be less worried about attendance and more worried about how Citadel plans to lose to Wofford this year. What is it now, a decade straight you haven't beaten us? Besides, this thread is for teams with fanbases that are honorable, anyway...former traitors need not apply....xpeacex xwhistlex xpeacex

I just let my balls set on my toes and keep them warm. Like an Emperor penguin.

I have been to the Rock for a game last year. My family took a trip to NC for my sister. Overall, it's a great stadium...I just have to state that there is no other place like Wa/Griz. You can put 40,000 people into KBS, and it still wouldn't compare in noise. I have to keep bringing this point up, and it's the umpteenth time i've done it, But the ESPN broadcasters in 2006 measured the decibel levels in Wa/Griz to be equivalent to a jet airliner. It is stunning.

I think it is awesome that they found the SUU game to be loud and fun, just wait for homecoming, conference games, Griz/Cat, and then the big shabang with the playoffs. Truly rockin then!

Or you guys could all just go down to the house on 5th and Arthur to take part in Kegs and Eggs with the students. Just a thought! ;) MUCH LOVE! GO GRIZ
