"Game" actually...at least according to Montana's future schedule page, our game out there in 2021 is still on their schedule. I'm hoping that it's just a scheduling change...maybe something like the game here being rescheduled to another year or another date in the same year. Alternately, Montana might have decided to just buy out the game here, which would suck, but at least in that case we'd get some $ out of it most likely.wiu712 wrote: Tue Jun 20, 2017 9:12 am It will be interesting to hear why the Montana games are no longer on the schedule.
One guy at the Gym today was offering up the theory that Montana may be backing-away from those games because they feel that Western will either be closed or no longer playing FCS football.
Sad to lose those games to Bob Nielson and USD.
EDIT - ah...here we are: http://www.gogriz.com/news/2017/4/26/fo ... h=football
Specifically:
So, they didn't back out or drop us or anything...just a reschedule situation.The 2019 matchup between the Griz and Coyotes on Aug. 31 replaces the game originally scheduled with Western Illinois. That game, which opens a home-and-home series with the Leathernecks, is now set for September 15, 2018.
Which means that for 2018, at this point it looks like we've got the game at Illinois, home against Montana, and maybe Tennessee Tech, if our agreement with them is a H&H.
