Don't get smart Tom, it doesn't become you, if ya catch my drift.
We won ours by the skin of our teeth. It was a turnover fest and SCSU just
happened to have turned the ball over at the worst time they could have.
ASU, on the other hand, turned the ball over many times, just not in the
last 10 minutes with no timeouts left--thank Allah. Armanti--Our QB--looked
good, but our receivers were anything but. If it were not for our defense we
would have been toast.
Richmond, here we come--for better or worse. I sure hope Richmond decides to
bring their "B" game and that we find a very big can of sticky hands!
Oh, and good luck with Villanova next week! And how about them Montana
Grizzlies, WTF! How on God's green earth did ND St. let them come back from
41 -14 in the 3rd! Damn Wheatsucker, what day you folks feed them fuckers,
whole cows and moose :~^ (
I'd written them fury bastids off around 4:15 PM. I was so hopin' we
wouldn't have to face them, once we get thru stompin' them nasty spiders.
Live and learn, I suppose.
Love ya,

well, we beat 'Nova once this year. With luck, we can make it twice. The
first go-round was a high scoring game. Ditto on Montana. I saw the 3rd
quarter score, and said to myself," There goes the #1 seed!", then saw the
final later and had to read it twice to make sure I got it right. I guess
those guys weren't undefeated for nothing...

Amazing pix of the Grizzilies doing the Jackrabbbits. You think maybe
when the Grizz comes East to kickass they will bring their smaller
Jackalope Traveling Band? You hardly ever see Jackalopes East of the
Mississippi and it could be a real holiday treat for the kids back
there.

We feed them cutthroat trout. Raw, live, cutts. We only feed them at
half time, hence the reason that they are so mean in the 3rd and 4th
quarters. Also, their fish-reeking breaths are enough to cause their
opponent's eyes to glaze over, stomachs to churn, and knees wobble.

One thing you Mountaineers going to Montana will need for sure is
Jackalopes. Jackalopes will get you thru just about anything.

Armanti Edwards does look like a special once-in-a-generation player.
Trouble is--playing away from home on a rock-hard, windy, ice-covered
field will undoubtedly turn that usually reliable advantage into half
frozen molasses.
The grind-it-out team with the bigger front lines (the Griz) will
dominate. Note too the Grizzlies have scored well over 100 points (sic)
just in the last two playoff games.

Wabbits and Jackalopes is two different things, Wabbits run from
beagles. You corner a 6 point Jackalope and with or without shin
guards you will not walk away without bloody legs. Why I seen a
Jackalope swallow a roof rat whole.
In the old days the far western plains saw vast herds of 'lopes
grazing the summer pastures of the Rockys up to the time of the market
hunters. In San Francisco, Diamond Jim Brady himself insisted that
banquet starters always include the 'lope variety of "Rocky Mountain
Oysters. Course they was not molluscs at all.
Them days is gone now but for those Mountaineer fans who make it out
to Missoula, a plate full of Jackalope balls will be a real treat
after the game if the Grizz plays half up to par.

Okay Sandy, I'm sensing some hostility toward your eastern breatheren.
How about a small wager, say a box of hand tied flyz goes to the winner--if
I win, you will be one of this year's two time losers, as my tie flying
skills are even worse my ability to write grammatically correct sentences!
Flyz of any sort should be acceptable (that is wet, dry, streamer, nynph...)
and limit the number to 25.
What ya say, flyz due the winner by Super Bowl game day 2010.
And since them Grizzlies is so fur-o-sious, you front me 2 points
That's right, them mean ole hairy beast have to beat us by 2!

I never tied a nynph before. But this is basically a good idea.
But 25 is way too many. Also, due the fact I *always* lose sports
bets, I've decided to back the App State Hill Billies.
I voted for McCain for the same reason. I knew Obama would win
if I supported McCain. And it worked.
So I'll bet 6 flies App State wins. The Grizzlies owe me a favor.

hard down to 3 feet deep by now. Take a month of warm weather

chunks of sharpened concrete rubble.
Mark Bowen
So let me get this straight? If Appstate wins, you send me six flies, and if
Appstate loses, you send me six flies. Why don't we just forget the bet and
you just send me twelve flies :~^ )
Seriously, if App wins--I get 6 flies from you and if Montana wins--you get
6 flies from me. If they tie, Frank Reid has to send both of us a box of 200
flies, each!
Got that Frank? A tie means you lose big!
I can only hope that there will be a *first ever* tie in a Div. I-AA
Championship semi-final game.
Op --Ever the optimist--
sandy
Ok. six flies it is.
Stephen F Austin State, who lost 51-zip last Saturday,
came in as the highest scoring team in division II this
year, averaging over 40 points per game.
The Grizz were obviously better. But not 51-zip better.
SFAustin wadn't really all that bad. They just couldn't handle
the arctic cold. Life isn't fair. Never has been. Won't be on Sat
neither.

The 7 day forecast for Missoula shows 12 degrees Friday night, and a
high of 29 degrees and snow on game day Saturday. That's positively
tropical for the Grizzlies. I'd guess some of the Grizz Nation will be
doing that Cotton Eyed Joe dance semi nude if this hot weather
persists.

Hell of a game. App State might have even one on neutral ground.
But they.....
Six dozen Tarpon flies. That was the bet, wasn't it?
Mark Bowen
Eating crow, even as I type these words, Sandy!
My heart hasn't raced, like it did in the final minutes of the game, since
my youth, when I would run from the law on my dirt.
I believe Montana will run all over 'nova and I will be pullin' for
them--Montana--as well (that should pretty much screw Montana) :~^ (
In my most sincere opinion, the Montana v. Appstate game was probably as
good a game as I have ever seen. Both teams gave it their all and played
their hearts out. No excuses, Montana was the better team at the end, but it
sure looked like it could have been anyones game most of the way through.
I'll do my best to tie you some Tarpon flyz, but if I were you, I'd request
a dry fly or something that I might actually be able to tie!
Send me a Tarpon pattern that you like and I will do my best--realize that I
have never tied an epoxy fly.
Congrats on your most spectacular win!

Last thing I need is more flies. That crow pie you just gulped
down was payment enough. Appalachian State plays a fun brand of foosball.
I hope Armanti Edwards gets his chance at the next level.

You ain't gettin' off that easy, Mr. Sandy!
I mean it not as if your team didn't stop us from taken the ball across the
end-zone line, in a most spectacular finish to a heart stopping game. No,
it's not like you would Chase us down and then spread Mariani sauce all over
us. Oh wait, that's exactly what you did to us!
