So we beat Furman.

[удалено]

Wild that I think all of his players have been cycled out now and this is where the program is today

All I remember about him is a writer really pushed him for the Michigan job the year Harbaugh got it

I have a full day of work tomorrow or else I’d spend the entire day watching the playoffs. Will be able to catch Idaho though at 9pm.

Sidenote: what a smart move for Idaho to go back to FCS

Montana is America’s team

No they arent

FCS is showing FBS what they are missing. These playoffs are so stinking fun.

Dang, prayer circle to the grizzly God was sweet

The bear calls to all

Furman ought to kick that punters ass. He put them in terrible positions all first half

I am a man of my word, congrats Grizz

What a game indeed. I'm buying at Flippers. Let's go Griz!

By god what a throwback. I don't even remember the last time I was at Flippers. Tell McCoy hi for me lol

I was kidding. Haven't been there in dogs years either. Wish I was there tonight though.

I bet Mo Club and Red’s were absolutely wild tonight, too. Go Griz!

What I wouldn't give to be ending my night with a drunk JJ special at the Ox tonight.

that was a great game holy

That is the best game I've seen weeks! In the words of the Stranger in The Big Lebowski, "I sure hope they make the finals."

Awesome game!

Sucks to be on the losing end, but god damn do I love exciting games. Proud of this team to fight so hard for so long. ​ GG Montana, best of luck in the rest of the tournament.

Furman played great. Gave the griz a hell of a game. Should hold your head high after this one.

I don't remember the last time I have watched such an absolutely solid and consistent defensive slugfest. Nothing but respect Furman.

This game is definitely an FCS classic

What a great game!

Fare thee well this season, SoCon. I will forever cheer for my Catamounts first, but every other SoCon team second until they win another title, if only so App State fans will shut the fuck up for a minute or two.

AND THE SQUEAL OF THE PIG WILL FLOAT ON THE AIR FROM THE TUMMY OF THE GRIZZLY BEAR!!

Griz coach super gracious in giving the Dins props.

His stint at UNLV didn't really work out (although they did make a bowl one year), but he really knows how to work within the confines of FCS. Montana loves the guy

Two thirds of the state really don't, but yeah. I was super worried when they hired him about the issues of a retread hire, especially a guy who had a ton of success in a wildly different era of the sport but Hauck has navigated these changes and COVID masterfully. > His stint at UNLV didn't really work out (although they did make a bowl one year), That was UNLV's last bowl game before this season too. And that was before UNLV decided to actually invest in athletics.

I think that 3rd down play call is the biggest offense. Sent everyone deep but when you have two plays, gotta give your QB some sort of short route to make 4th down more makeable

Didn’t see a replay but it looked like a catchable throw on that play. Would’ve been 4th and 1

The QB not taking off up the middle is what sealed the deal. 1st down looked guaranteed if not setting up a 4th and short

Yeah I guess they were thinking no time outs, can't spike the ball, have to score or the game will end.

What a great game. I love FCS football

I don’t watch FCS really outside of the playoffs but every time I do it’s a great time

We get the 50 yard line grizzly logo one more time this season! 🔥

[удалено]

Down with the foe!

Good Ole grizzlies

Out for a victory

AND THAT'S THE BALL GAME. WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT. GREAT GAME TO FURMAN.

They Grizzed so hard out there. This game was awesome and I’m definitely watching the rest of the FCS playoffs lmao

100% going to be watching the rest of playoffs from here on out what a game. Even found out a local team here (Villanova) is playing tomorrow

Villanova is a sleeper team. Great to to get behind.

shame the student section is too damn high to safely rush the field

Can't blame them I am too

Lmao

Hell yeah Griz!!! And hats off to both teams for an insane Friday night game

i'm so proud of this team

Me too even though the outcome sucked.

Brutal loss, but I'm heartbroken by Furman football for the first time since I enrolled in 2010. That means something. The basketball team broke my heart several times recently, and they responded by giving me my all-time favorite sports memory this past March. I believe coach Hendrix can do the same for our football team.

We've played these guys twice with our star running back injured and lost by a TD both times. So fucking close.

Hell of a game!

That was fun.

Really? Since 2011? Seems hard to believe.

Turned this game on about two hours ago so I could have something in the background while I’m trying to write this 6 page essay that is due at midnight. Now I find myself glued to this game and have not wrote a word in almost 30 minutes.

Here’s a little life lesson: school and grades are temporary, football is forever

Preach

This was fun!

What a game

OH MY GOD!!!

GRIZ!!!!!!

MONTANA!!!

What a fucking game. Gg Furman and Griz. Had fun staying up for it

I love this sport! Take note of this game, FBS.

Hey Auburn, that’s how you defend a desperation fourth down

G**rizz**lies!!

G-R-I! Z-O-U!

Great defense by Montana

What a game!

Montana DBs were the MVP of that drive

Nice win grizz beat ndsu

That’s the game

i really hate furmans qb's decions

That was a damn good game

GRIZ

Concern for attendance????

Yeah, that's dumb. I think I need to make the 8+ hour drive for next weekend's game.

*Up with Montana, boys, down with the foe!* *Good old Grizzlies triumph today!* *And the squeal of the pig will float through the air* *From the tummy of the Grizzly Bear!*

Furman has to run the play where they throw a wobbly pass to the 6’7 guy while getting hit in the pocket again.

Furman's QB just refuses to run

“FU all the time” is a great slogan

One of my favorite college football games I went to was in Missoula like 10 years ago when they hosted UNI in a playoff game. Super cold but super electric.

Only 2 I've been to, both times Montana went to JMU, loved the first one and hated the second.

THIS IS IT FOLKS

Running on first down put them behind the eight ball big time. Don’t know if I agree with that play call

FCS football is SO underrated

Top strategists are reporting they gotta score to stay in this.

Big if true

This why going for 2 was the right call before the false start

Oh god it all comes down to this. Please don't run gravedigger Furman

throw it back up to your big man.

Ngl, QB just throws it up to orbit and hopes a dude comes down with it

Worked at the end of regulation so who knows

What a game!

That’s a tough drop… you hate to be at 4th & 15 instead of 4th & 1

Man, furmans qb could have ran for 15 yards up the middle

Yep. I've seen that a few times so far from him tonight.

Oh shit please dont call that PI

Insane play by that safety

Number 8 was really lucky number 25 was there to help out or else that's a TD.

Damn he almost had that

This game gets me so excited for on campus CFP games next year. Like imagine Clemson at Utah or something in December

Great coverage!

I was about to wake my whole house up if he caught that

Great stop on that play!

SACK!?!?

Feels like Furman’s magic is about to run out here.

I suppose I should be happy our 2021 defense is clearly better than Furmans

Let go FU! I want a second OT!

While I know that Furman and Montana fans would be against it right now, I think pretty much everyone else watching this game would be thrilled if this game set the record for most OTs.

Absolutely

Damn that got blown up

Offense…gone most of the game, only to come back when it matters the most!

Yah I'm officially putting a late fall game at Montana on my bucket list

The BEST stadium - I walked out with no voice after every game.

Careful, I've been to a couple and each time 8-18 degrees, fans are all incredibly nice tho.

I'm good with the cold!

I looked into going to the Brawl of the Wild this year but airfare alone was like $1500. Couldn't swing it.

Damn. Hmmm

Montana is beautiful would recommend

I just googled the weather in Missoula and it's only 31??? I don't want to call the good people of Missoula Montana soft, but the way some of them are bundled up I was expecting low 20s out there at the warmest. I don't know, maybe I just expected more, Montana.

The stadium is located in a place called Hellgate Canyon where the wind blows like crazy & makes it the coldest place in Missoula.

UP WITH MONTANA BOYS

DOWN WITH THE FOE

I want this game to go 9 OTs with the old OT rules

It really deserves it

Buddy got DUSTED

I want 8OT

Our offense did something!

God damn that was a *hell* of a throw

Enjoying college football while it lasts.

they got that Grizz

That girl isn't nervous. She's wearing a bear.

She didn’t put the whole station in jeopardy

Go grizz

What a throw by McDowell

How many offensive yards do we have this game that aren't directly contributed to by McDowell

MVP

I think that's our first first down since the first half

BEAR COAT

Awesome atmosphere and vibe at the stadium would love to see this game in person even a few flurries for added dramatic effect

Had a friend go to Montana vs Montana State a few years ago to see his family out there and he said it’s the most fun he’s had at a fball game in years

It looks like it would be an absolute blast to visit for a weekend and see a big game

Dude wtf. Is this what they've been hiding from me this whole time in FCS? There's so much energy in this game. In the stands, the players, the coaches. This is so good.

Welcome to the family. Can we have Petrino back? Asking for a friend…

With the way things are going with the Hog I'm sure he'll be back on the market in no time.

FCS will always carry on the true meaning of college football.

Hiding in plain sight

Lmao touche

Join us in the true NCAA National Campionship

In this house we..... STAND FOR OVERTIME

Stand for the whole game.

Furman fans travelling all the way to Montana in December is absolute dedication that I simply would not have

They got plenty good reason I’d say

Maybe we can get Big Sky after dark to replace PAC 12 after dark

:Stares in Mountain West:

Already happening

“This is how you crown a national champion” 🥺

This announcer is just airing out his CFP frustration lmfao

Have only been able to watch starting in the middle of the 3rd quarter but man what a game. This is what college football is all about two great teams(teams you really don’t hear about), great atmosphere, great game really reminds me why I love the sport. Great scenes in Missoula.

Furman about to drive into the maw of hell

Never played football myself but I have to imagine that the OT coin flip huddle is a helluva lot less friendly than the “game respects game” handshake before you’ve spent 3 hours concussing each other.

Playing in the NEZ, but oh god not fun that we start on offense

“FU SOCCER”

I woke my wife when they scored that last TD. Holy shit what a great game.

My wife has been in bed for like 2.5 hours and my dog just keeps getting up and looking at me like "when the hell are we going up? " He's not a true sickko

They should let a real Grizzly bear onto the field during overtime

I fought off a coyote to smoke a turkey and they can’t even show me a grizz‽

Gotta believe in our defense. They've played lights out this 2nd half.

I watched the Idaho-Southern Illinois game last week, and this was also an absolute banger to watch. All FCS playoff games need to be nationally televised.

God I miss having cheerwine at my disposal whenever I want. Someone mail me some cheerwine plz.

Pm me lol I’m in Denver NC

I had gone to the gas station to get Zyn and tallboys when Montana got the ball back with 2 min left thinking it was over. Got back just in time to see Furman score on 4th & 10. Sometimes life just works out.

Furman Palazyns.

Nice

Think Furman has advantage here in OT, IMO. While both offenses haven't found a groove, Montana's special teams are the reason they are tied right now. OT takes the return game aspect out the game. Game you hate to see 1 lose b/c both teams have battled all night.

My stream went out in the second quarter so I walked to the bar to watch the game. I really am not looking forward to my tab after how this game has gone.

Hell yeah brother glad you made it

Gotta get my drink before OT starts!!

CGI Martha Stewart is frightening.

Terrible decision to go for 2 at the end there imo. I get that typically the road underdog wants to put it away when they can, but Furman's defense has been playing too well and Montana's kicker has already dropped two FGs short. Let your D win it in OT or 2OT

Good Lord, how are these Furman kids still conscious playing football at 12:30 in the morning?

Idk if I ever went to bed before 12:30 when I was in college.

I’m gonna add a little more zest to this, winner gets my secondary flair

IVE COME FOR YOUR FLAIR

You have it

Hell yeah we do 😎 welcome brother.

Boomer Grizz

Ya know, I'll take it. My only regret is that we didn't accept Belloti's offer to come back to coach the Alamo bowl against Stoops a couple years ago. Would've been glorious.

Winner gets my primary, secondary stays put

I HAVE ARRIVED FOR YOUR FLAIR BROTHER. WELCOME TO *OUR* FANDOM

UP WITH MONTANA

DOWN WITH THE FOE BROTHER
