Game Thread - College Football Begins Today: NDSU vs Montana
The game kicks at 3:30 on ESPN. The Bison have won 4 consecutive FCS championships and return their senior QB Carson Wentz. And the most intersting part of this game is the debut of Bob Stitt, #stitthappens, on the Montana sideline. Power 5 coaches have been picking Stitt's brain for years on how to gain an edge offensively and this was addressed in a recent ESPN article that was linked to yesterday on the board.

The older I get(47 in Sept), the faster the years fly. Except when it comes to off season. As a kid, I wanted summers to last. Now, I wish they would just cancel summer each year.
OK maybe that is extreme, but you get the gist. Finally a game that counts. Thanks again.

Same in CA. Many weeks in the summer it's a little too hot (though we don't have humidity like you do) but the rest of the year is beautiful. The only thing summer is good for is going to the beach, which is a little too cold by the water the rest of the year. But with young kids, that only happens a handful of times a summer anyway.

They might as well cancel the season and hand it to the Buckeyes according to those guys.

^^^ Don't go to that link. In fact, you might want to take it down. Those second rate "look at our list" sites are often click bait for a ton of pop-ups and viruses. This one closed my browser immediately. I should have known better.

One of the coolest games I ever watched was Montana v App State in the FCS playoffs probably 5-7 years ago. It was snowing and Montana's little stadium was going bonkers. It's why I hope we'll have homesite playoff games one day

So happy CFB is back. This is a legit FCS game too
August 29th, 2015 at 10:10 AM ^
I am a UofM grad. Yes University of Montana and that stadium is amazing. Too bad the forest fires have filled Missoula with smoke. Won't make it to Missoula but proud to say I'll be in Utah next Thursday. Either way go UofM!!!!!!!x2

Anyone else hoping the Illinois AD is watching this game? It sure would be fun having Stitt in our conference. Might actually make the B1G West interesting.
August 29th, 2015 at 12:51 PM ^
That said, Kansas just hired a coach and Snyder isn't going anywhere.
HOWEVER, over in the Pac 12, Colorado's head coach isn't looking so hot.
But I agree...he'd be fun to watch in the B1G West.
August 29th, 2015 at 11:51 AM ^
Hope the smoke has subsided, Montana has really been blanketed from the Wash and Idaho forest fires.
Go Griz!

Has he had a stroke?
He's been rough the past few years, but he was AWFUL in this taped College Gameday. He's slurring, he repeats himself, it's just bad.
I know ESPN has to pimp its television personalities, but please take Corso off. Bring him in for the last 15 minutes to make his picks and put a mascot head on...other than that, he just can't keep up.
August 29th, 2015 at 1:09 PM ^
August 29th, 2015 at 1:21 PM ^
Sad but true. I hate agreeing with this, because Corso in his prime was awesome. The guy made Gameday and all his segments a blast. But he's been in steady decline since the stroke--you could see the effect right afterward in the loss of the manic energy. "Not so fast" started coming oh so slow. Now he can barely put together coherent sentences. At the end, when Herbstreit was jabbing his arm, I was thinking, "Hey, stop that--you're hurting him." He seems too frail. I love his spirit, but it is sad to watch now.

So is it "Bison" or "Byzin"?????
