Big Sky is looking like it will come down to the best rivalry in FCS, Montana vs Montana State. Missoula is going to be an absolute zoo for that game and I can't wait.

Obligatory
My son was invited to a prospect camp there before his senior year and while there was no way he was gonna play there, we took the trip. Unbelievable. Such an amazing stadium and vibe. I can see why they get the players they do and have the success they have.Obligatory

This weekend #3 Montana will host #4 Montana State in the biggest game in the entire series of the greatest rivalry in the FCS. The winner clinches an outright Big Sky title and likely grabs the #2 seed in the playoffs, which brings a bye week and home field advantage throughout.
I'll be there, obviously. Going to be a long week waiting for this one.

Well here is the final regular season week for FCS football which means a week later, it's pretty much the final game outside of CCGs but I'm going to focus on FCS here and Hero Sports is a good website for FCS football news in addition to G5 football news.

If I had to bet I'd go with MSU. Chambers is a beast, as is Mellott....We went to 2 MSU games when we spent 1.5 years in Billings a million years ago. Vigen is a good HC and will likely get a G5 job soon, if he wants to go.

Plus their kicker is like 7ft tall.
I follow MSU a little bit since Vigen left Wyoming and took Sean Chambers with him. An Interesting FCS outfit. Giant kicker, no doubt.

I didn’t even realize Sean Chambers was still playing college ball? When I watched WYO here and there during the 2019 season, he was good.

For those who haven't looked up the score, #3 Montana whipped #4 Montana State in every phase of the game, running to a 37-7 ass kicking. Montana wins its first Big Sky Championship in far too long and will almost certainly get the #2 seed (and home field advantage through the playoffs) when the field is announced today.
Went to the Mines game today and saw them advance to the DII quarter-finals.
Lopsided win, but I'll say Mines looks beatable. Poor tackling. No pressure with four, but blitzes worked consistently. O-line looked good and passing game is fire. Motocha and his receivers are in sync.
First CSM game ever, first D2 Game since I was a kid.
Fun atmosphere. No TV, rapid pace of game.
Field behind one of the goal posts had dads and kids gathering at each FG and try attempt, competing to field the kick. Good stuff.
Next up, 12/2, Mines hosts Central Washington.

I sure missed on that one. A resounding win. Congrats to Coach Bobby Hauck and the Griz. I hope they take the whole enchilada. The Big Sky Conference is due.

I’d love in Golden in a heartbeat…but I’d imagine that several thousand people would as well.
Coach Chev's Chafee College team finished 11-0.
Round Two of the FCS Playoffs this weekend:
Richmond at Albany
Youngstown State at Villanova
Chattooga at Furman
Sacramento State at South Dakota
Mercer at South Dakota State
North Dakota State at Montana State
Delaware at Montana
Southern Illinois at Idaho
Two big playoff games in Montana. Sometimes being a big fish in a smaller pond is a good thing.

And Montana destroys Delaware to advance.
49-19 in the snow! Good to see that the Griz are back.
Idaho is trending up. Starting QB this year was a redshirt freshman I believe and he did well.
NDSU at MT should be a great game.
Kutztown's only TD was a long QB run totally against the run of play, too. To say it was a dominant win isn't an overstatement, imo.
It's always weird to me that the D2 title game is played in a high school stadium, albeit a gigantic one. I feel like if they can't get a decent location, move it on campus.
